“A Mentality of Prosperity”

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not

wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou

gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not

glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape

of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and

stranger… (Leviticus 19:9-10).

In the above scripture, God was giving some instructions to the children of Israel on what they
should do when they harvest their grains. He said to them, “..Thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.” In other words,“Don’t harvest everything; don’t gather the gleanings.” He didn’t want them scratching for the leftovers; and it was a law.They were to leave some in the field, for the poor, the fatherless, and the widows. 

There’re people who don’t know why they haven’t made much progress in their lives. Some of them have prayed and prayed, yet no change. But you see, God doesn’t fellowship with a man who has a mentality of poverty. There’sa mentality of prosperity and there’s a mentality of poverty. For instance, some people would use their clothes until those clothes are torn to tatters. How sad! It could be any personal belonging; they use it until it’s not good enough to be given to someone else. Such a mentality attracts poverty, and it has kept many in a despicable state for a long time. 

Whatever God blesses you with, no matter how small or big it is, when you use it, let it be good enough for someone else. When you give such things to others, be sure they’re in an excellent state to be used with dignity. That’s the way to live. There should never be anything that you own that you can’t give out.

God wants you to always be a blessing to others who aren’t as blessed as you are. There’re things you haven’t used in a long while, yet you’re keeping them. That’s not a prosperity attitude. Do the Word; get into your closet and search out belongings you’ve piled up and probably wouldn’t even use for another one or two years. Give them out, and watch your life take an upward dive.
