What do you do when you need something? Do you approach people who might possibly give it to you? Do you try your best to get it using the skills and abilities you have? The scriptures show that God allows some needs to occur in our lives so that we can approach and make our requests known to him. Firstly, God is spirit, those who worship him must worship him in spirit (John 4:24). Secondly, God places his spirit in people’s lives so that he can easily communicate with them in Spirit, and that they may know what God is thinking (1Cororinthians 2:12). Thirdly, God desires to have continuous fellowship in spirit with his people (Revelations 3:20; Micah 6:8). It is in the constant fellowship with God that you will get answers for all your needs.
God is always ready to answer our prayers, but we need to pray to him in faith. Jealousy causes people to fight others and kill those who have what they don’t have. Jealousy, fights, or destroying others can never makes you a better person. Stop competing and comparing yourself with others. God has a unique way to give you the prosperity you desire. Your prosperity is not with the people around you but can be found in the hands of God.
See what the scriptures say in
James 4:1-5 ESV (1) “What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? (2) You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. (3) You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. (4) You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. (5) Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”?”
*Your prosperity is accessible in God’s hands*.
