… GOD WANTS ME TO PROSPER
Now, the word ‘prosper’ we find in the New Testament and the Old Testament. The word prosper in the Hebrew means to ‘push forward’. The New Testament is written in Greek and the word prosper means to ‘help along the road’. Put it together—God wants to help you along the road and God wants to push you forward. The only way God can do this, is that you and I must be in the presence of the Lord. While we are living in the presence of the Lord, God is constantly pushing us forward.
This man Potiphar— He was not saved, he was an unbeliever—but he recognised that the presence of the Lord was with Joseph so he put Joseph over everything. He said, ‘I am no fool, the Lord is with this man.’
• When you are not at work, your boss ought to be calling trying to find out what’s wrong — because your boss ought to know that the reason that the office is blessed is because of you. The people on your job should know that the reason it is going as well as it is — is because you are there. It is something about a person being in the presence of the Lord, that even an unbeliever will know that you are living in the presence of the Lord. You don’t have to have no big bible; you don’t have to wear a cross; you don’t have to walk around saying ‘Jesus, Jesus, Jesus’. People will know that Jesus is with you and that you are in the presence of the Lord, because when you’re in the presence of the Lord, everything you touch will prosper.
As a matter of fact, the Bible says that the reason why his entire household was blessed is because of Joseph.

The key to prosperity in our finances, in our future and in our family is to be in the presence of the Lord. When God is with us and we are in His presence, He helps us along the road / he pushes us forward. …
