“Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said: by Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son, blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies” (Genesis 22:15-17)

The favor we receive from God is based on our willingness to do His will. (Matthew 25:15)
Prosperity is based on faithfulness to God, not on the size of our responsibilities; the smallest task in God’s work may receive a great reward if we are faithful in performing it. (Matthew 25:23)
We unknowingly violate one of God’s principles of faithfulness when we try to secure our possessions and not turn them over to God. (Matthew 25:26-30)
