HEALTHY FINANCES Asking for God’s Blessings The first principle of Biblical prosperity is to pray and ask for God’s blessing. In the book of Genesis we see that Jacob asked God to bless him and God blessed him. We also see that as he was asking God to bless him, he was not a poor man by any standards since that evening he had prepared a present for his estranged brother Esau and this present consisted of 200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams, 30 milk camels with their colts, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 foals. (Genesis 32) Therefore, ask God to bless you and to bless all the work of your hands because God has pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. (Psalm 35:27) As you pray, use Bible verses since the Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit. (Ephesians 6:17) Scriptures that you can use spiritual warfare prayers to pray for your financial blessings include: 1. Father God I ask You in the name of Jesus to bless me indeed and expand my territory. (Adapted 1 Chronicles 4:10) Page 24 You can also update it to the 21st century and pray, Oh that You would bless my blog indeed and enlarge my online empire. 2. Save me now, O Lord I pray. O Lord, I pray, send me now financial prosperity. (Adapted Psalm 118:25) 3. Heavenly Father I ask You in the name of Jesus to grant me plenty of goods in the fruit of my body, in the increase of my livestock, in the produce of my ground and businesses. (Adapted Deuteronomy 28:11) Alternatively, you can paraphrase it to the 21st century and pray, Heavenly Father I ask You in the name of Jesus to grant me plenty of children, increase my stock portfolio and increase the income from my online businesses. O Lord, I pray, send me now financial prosperity. 4. Heavenly Father I ask You in the name of Jesus to bless me so that my offline stores, websites and blogs may be full, supplying all kinds of products and services.
