God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us.
Joel OsteenPart of my message is that God never said that we weren't going to have difficulties, but you know what, He said to stay full of joy and I'm going to help you overcome. So I think that is what resonates with people and helps draw so many people. Because it is not a message that you are barely going to make it, you're a victim. We are not victims, we are victors.
Joel OsteenI don't mind saying, you know, that I don't take a salary from the church, and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books.
Joel OsteenCertainly, none of us enjoy going through struggles, but you have to understand that your struggle may be an opportunity for advancement and promotion. The very thing you are fighting against so tenaciously may be the springboard that catapults you to a new level of excellence. Your challenges may become your greatest assets.
