In Luke 12:2, the Lord said, "Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known."
"What do I really expect from my Lord in terms of prosperity? In my years of work and devotion to His service, I have constantly sought for prosperity as some sort of gift or reward for all the things that I have done."
Expecting something in return for a work done is not a gift but a wage or compensation that is due. God's gift is freely given and does not require any work. If you truly trust the Lord, what He said is "Ask and you shall Receive". He did not say work for it. What matters is the intent or purpose in asking. If God would give such gift, will it lead you to righteousness or sin?
God knows the intents of your heart and nothing is hidden. He knows you from inside out and you can never escape His eye that is upon you. You are free to work and do things your own way, but you still need His instructions and teachings in order to undertand the truth and the right path to take.
PRAYER
Father God, all things belong to You and gifts are freely given to those whom You so please. Nothing that we do can ever outdone Your generosity. We rest our faith and trust in You through our Lord Jesus that whatever we earnestly asked for in prayer shall be granted.
We pray for prosperity and abundance as we purely depend upon Your graces and provsions each day of our lives. Please look not at our sins but in the faith that is in us through Your Son, who lives and reigns with You now and forever. Amen.
