God is interested in our willingness to manage and administrate all that He has given to us. Nothing will be thrown into our laps. Financial prosperity is not an unconditional providential blessing; conditions are attached. We are to take action and be proactive. The abilities and giftings God provides motivate us to action. Sometimes it takes our persistence in doing the same things faithfully with the heart of a servant. Other times it is time to try new things, new methods, and seek new opportunities. Sometimes the steady plodding brings the success of the blessed life. Many people, deep in debt and lacking in self-discipline in their spending and contentment level, complain that their employers don't pay them enough, their taxes are much too high, their business costs have skyrocketed, or render some other excuse why they cannot plan for their financial future. Of course, some of these excuses may have a certain amount of legitimacy to them, but they don't excuse a person from the responsibility of making sure that they are not wasting any of the resources God has allowed to come through their hands. The problem is rarely a lack of money; it is a lack of money management. Money management simply means self-management. This book will help the reader to re-align their financial attitude so that can begin to fulfill their potential financial altitude.

3 John 2 says "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." Proverbs 11: 25 notes "A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Jeremiah 29: 11 states, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Author Rich Brott begins with the fact that God wants to provide good things for His children. He wants for you to prosper and be successful in your God given gifts and callings. But God is no vending machine, nor does His promises come without conditions. If God cannot trust you with a hundred dollars now, how can He trust you with a thousand or a hundred thousand? Christians have access to unlimited and unimaginable resources. But with this access comes accountability. This is a lot of trust that God places in our lives. It is more than just finances. It is our entire life and how we handle it with faithfulness, responsibility, accountability, honesty, and integrity. You can learn how to Receive the Prosperity and Provision of God!

According to author Rich Brott, nothing happens in the economy of God until you give something away. It is a universal law of God. Giving is the trigger for God's financial miracles. When you give to the Kingdom of God, it will be given back to you. We must do so in complete confidence that our God will not only meet our needs, but allow us to have plenty left over so that we can joyfully share it with others. When it comes to personal possessions, money and wealth, you cannot take it with you but you CAN send it on ahead. Bottom line is this: what you keep, you will lose, but what you give away, you will gain. When you become a faithful tither and a generous giver you become an individual whom God can bless.
