Do you want to be rich? Of course! Who doesn’t, right? The moneyed want even more and for those who shun excessive riches still want to be abundant in a certain area in their lives. Whether it is financial, relational or health, having abundance and prosperity make for a happy human being.
Abundance takes on a different form for each individual but to make it simple, let’s use abundance in terms of financial prosperity. Imagine a man who has always walked. He has never ridden a bicycle, much less drive a car, and suddenly he finds himself in ownership of a nice looking vehicle. This is abounding blessings for him. However, if he had a neighbor who has driven cars all his life, that neighbor’s prosperity might be, perhaps owning a helicopter. On the other hand, someone who has a fleet of these aircrafts will have a different of success. Maybe having an island will be his crowning achievement.
As you can see, definitions vary for each individual. It is a personal matter only you can resolve for yourself. Unfortunately, many today find themselves falling short on their vision of personal prosperity. Economy and timing are relevant factors, but ultimately having abundance is a choice and anyone can receive it.
How do we go about doing that? Well, first of all we need to know what exactly we are talking about. What is the meaning of abundance? Abundance is defined as having an overflowing fullness and ample sufficiency of resources. It is not only having your needs met, you have more than enough besides.
Take an empty glass on a table and let’s call it your life. You pour into it waters of favor and blessings until it touches the rim. Abundance is continuing to pour out this water until the glass is overrunning and leaking down the sides of the table. What you allow in will overflow outward. So if you need money, get some in your life first. You’re thinking, ‘This is absurd, I need money. How can I invest what I don’t even have?’
You are right. You don’t have the money you want in your life-yet. Walk this thought through with me. Abundance and prosperity as people understand it, is having the actual riches or possessions in your hand. What not enough people know that prosperity actually begins in your mind. So what do you do, begin thinking of yourself rich. Purpose your thoughts to what you aspire to be. Believe you are rich.
You will never see a pauper with a king mindset remain in his shanty. If you research on some millionaires from all over the world you will see people who achieved great things because they believed great things regardless of their station in life. Remove incidental factors like background, age, learning curves and opposition. Nothing and no one can stop the flood of prosperity from pouring down on you.
The wisest man that ever walked the earth once said, “If you can believe it, it can be done”. Abundance is a personal, overflowing expression of blessings– and it is yours for the asking.
