This book explains “true prosperity” from a biblical perspective, arguing that God blesses His people not for greed but so they can be a blessing to others. It emphasizes that wealth originates with God and that believers must learn to manage His resources according to His purposes. The text challenges religious misconceptions that poverty is inherently holy, using Scripture—especially Deuteronomy 28—to distinguish prosperity as God’s intention from poverty as a curse meant to destroy.

Managing God's Mutual Funds—Yours and His Understanding True Prosperity Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 A Blessing or a Curse? Chapter 2 The Fool's Dozen Chapter 3 The Gospel to the Poor Chapter 4 Digging Deeper Chapter 5 How to Prevent Crop Failures Chapter 6 The Law of Increase Chapter 7 Debt Chapter 8 Living to Give Chapter 9 Laying Up Treasure—Four Ways to Bless and Be Blessed Chapter 10 The Seasons of Prosperity Introduction In a world that believes the only reason for prosperity is to buy bigger cars and finer houses, a new Church is rising up. These believers are not deceived by greed. They know God's purposes for prosperity. These believers know God wants to bless His people so they can be a blessing. They know He gives us power to get wealth, so He may establish His covenant (Deuteronomy 8:18) and so we "may have to give to him that needeth" (Ephesians 4:28) . God wants us to minister to a world caught up in the cycle of greed and lack. We can't do that if we are wondering where our next meal is coming from. God knows that. That's why He has provided us "all sufficiency in all things" —so we may have enough to "abound to every good work" (2 Corinthians 9:8) . Our part is to learn how to access His resources and how to use what He provides. You've heard people say about their money and their giving, "It all belongs to God anyway." That sounds good, but it isn't true. Your money isn't all God's, and it's not all yours. All wealth comes from God. And He is the One Who has given you the power to get wealth. But He is very specific about what is His, what is yours and what you are to do with what He provides. The bottom line is this: You are managing God's mutual funds—yours and His. You oversee wealth He has provided for some very specific kingdom purposes. Silver, gold and all the wealth of the Earth are His. For too long the forces of Satan have controlled those resources, using them to drag men into darkness. Now it's time for the Church to learn what true wealth really is, tap into the riches that spring from the Word instead of the world, and enjoy living as givers in spreading the gospel throughout the Earth. The most powerful spiritual invasion force the devil has ever had to face since Jesus walked this Earth will be the Church alive to God's purposes for prosperity. They have found more joy in giving than in anything money could buy. They have allowed themselves to become experts in Managing God's Mutual Funds. Kenneth Copeland Chapter 1 A Blessing or a Curse? Prosperity. Is it a blessing or is it a curse? The answer should be obvious. But oddly enough, in the minds of many people, it's not. The reason is simple. Satan has spent years trying to confuse the issue. And, for the most part, he has been successful. He has frightened people into believing there's something inherently evil about money. He has promoted poverty by spreading lies. Poverty is noble, he has said. Poverty will make you more pious. Poverty is God's way of teaching you a lesson. How many have been taken in by his deceptions? Millions. In fact, in some way, those lies have affected all of us. That's why it's so important for us to go back to the Word of God and find out what He has to say about the subject. Because until we do, we'll never be completely free to prosper. Never. So let's get it settled right here, right now. What's the real truth about poverty and prosperity? Which is the blessing? Which is the curse? You can find the answer to that question in Deuteronomy 28. Beginning with verse 15, let's read what God has to say there: But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: [Now notice here God is about to list curses, not blessings.] Cursed shalt thou be in the city, an

FAQs
