Do you want to prosper?

According to Sanchez, this Bible passage tells one how to do it: It's following the covenant.

 

“Because true prosperity isn't about money or mansions,” Sanchez says. “True prosperity is living a life of profound love for every human being. This is the core message of the Bible. Do you love? Is love the reason why you wake up in the morning? Is love the reason why you talk and walk and sleep and eat and breathe and dance and sing? Is love the reason why go to work and earn your money and do your business, and invest in the Stock Market? Is love the core reason why you're alive today?”

 

According to him, if the answer is yes, “then you're the richest person in this universe.”

 

As Joshua 1:8 says, "Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.”

Why will love make you richer?

 

Bo gives one simple example: “I'm an entrepreneur. And I love my customers. I pray for them! I constantly declare blessings for them. I pray for miracles and healing and provision flow into their lives—abundantly…If you're an entrepreneur, I strongly suggest that you pray for your customers. Because I genuinely love my customers, I serve them, I meet their needs, I become their friend, and I bless their lives!”
