How Can You Complain When God Has Plans to Prosper You?

WOWgroup Global Fellowships NY was reminded that we need to zip our mouths and just go before the Lord. Many times we miss out on our blessings or go in circles, because we haven't learned to go before the Lord and just be quiet.

Minister William Merced Jr. reminded us that when we pray and we allow God to change our attitudes we see remarkable changes. We get to see the prosperity that God so wants for each believer.

Today Jeremiah 29:11 was read and we looked at it from a different perspective: God's Perspective.

Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version, ©2010)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11 (Contemporary English Version)
11I will bless you with a future filled with hope--a future of success, not of suffering.

Minister William Merced Jr. shared his personal testimony how he was complaining about his job and as a result was doing so poorly. He told us that in this new position the bosses were not happy with him and as a result he was constantly pulled to the office. Then he decided to go before the Lord and ask God to help him to not to complain, but to learn how to do his job better. He prayed for his bosses and prayed that God would change his attitude. As a result, the Lord promoted Minister William Merced to a new position and now the old bosses come to him and recommend him and ask him for his opinion on certain matters that pertain to the old position.

God is in the business of prosperity, however, we can stop our blessing by complaining.
Complaining is evidence of unbelief. When we complain we are not taking God for His Word.

The bible states that “...all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8:28). If the Christian really believes that the Lord is in control of their life, and is working “ALL THINGS together for our good,” he will stop complaining and start thanking the Lord for the plan He is working together for us.
