INTRODUCTION
The decision to write this book has been on my heart for many years, and for many reasons.
One of the reason’s the Lord wants to bless us is so we can be a blessing to people and not walk away from hungry and hurting people.
Have you ever read the parable of the Good Samaritan, in the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 10:25-37? Where the lawyer was asking Jesus how to obtain eternal life? Jesus asked him what the law said. And he said, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus said that was correct. Then the lawyer asked who is my neighbor? Jesus replied and told him a parable about a man who was robbed and beat up and left for dead on the side of the road. Well, several people walked by and didn’t pay any attention to him. Then the Good Samaritan passed by and helped him by cleaning him up and bringing him to a hotel to stay until he was well and gave the inn keeper money in advance for anything that the man needed, and if there was any more money owing he would pay the inn keeper when he returned.
Have you ever thought to yourself, like I have, I wish that I had the money where I could actually do something like that? To actually put him up in a Hotel or a place for him to get well and pay for his stay until he was better?
Another important reason is that there are so many people that have the wrong perception of what God would want for us.
People talk about the fact that Ministers of the Gospel should not be rich, or shouldn’t talk about finances, or giving. Also, that Christians shouldn’t be rich or have too much money. Why not? Why can everyone else in the world be rich, but not the Minister’s of the Lord, or Christians? It says in the Bible that the Lord says the silver is mine and the gold is mine, and everything in the earth is His. So if that is true, which it is, because He created the world and everything in it, and we are called his children, by Him, then we are heirs and have what He has.
In so many areas of the Bible, God is said to be our Father. In this natural world a good loving father only wants the best for us. He wants us to be successful in everything we do. Fathers want us to go to college or learn a trade so that we can have a good life and have money for our families. So we can have good things like houses and cars etc. Can you actually picture a loving father wanting his children to be poor, living on welfare and in government housing, saying oh son, I am so happy you are poor, I hope you get poorer? He doesn’t want us to be sick, he doesn’t want us to be poor, and he wants us to be successful, knowledgeable, and happy.
In the Bible it says, how much more does our Heavenly Father want for us, whose love is perfect toward us.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask Him? Math 7:11
This book is meant to help you see how God has blessed men and women throughout the Bible in their lives and their finances, and how He wants you to be blessed also. And we will conclude with the characteristics it takes for us to prosper. They were of course blessed by the Lord in every area, but we will focus on the finances.

About the Book
What would happen if King Solomon lived in this present age?
He would be a very good leader using his godly wisdom, which he had asked the Lord for when he first began to rule.
He would be a very good Christian writer; he wrote the proverbs and other writings. He would be a very good minister of the gospel; people and rulers came from all over the world to hear him speak and would bring gifts to give to him.
He, with his father’s financial help, built a magnificent church filled with gold, silver, and precious stones to glorify the Lord. He would be very wealthy, wearing very expensive and beautiful clothes; he would have many houses, and everything in them would be laden with gold and silver. Basically, he could have anything he wanted.
What would you think? What do you think when you see a minister of the gospel, pastor, or preacher on television, dressed very nicely, with expensive jewelry; a big, beautiful church; and a really nice car?
This book will take you on a journey through the Bible, studying the lives of the men and women who were blessed by God. It will change the way you think about what God really wants for us. He is a very good God and wants only the best for his children.
