3. The Purpose of Prosperity
The mission of the Kingdom of God is to free people from being enslaved by the
enemy.
The Kingdom accomplishes the mission by using the Power of the Holy Spirit to
destroy yokes and remove burdens.
The method of the Kingdom is for the members of the Kingdom to use their
resources to accomplish the mission of the Kingdom.
Among the resources given to the members are the manifestations of the Holy
Spirit, personal gifting, ministry gifts, and material possessions.

4. The Purpose of Prosperity
All of the resources, once received, work by love energized faith.
Everything God gives to the Believer, who is a member and a representative of
the Kingdom, is considered to be “prosperity” because they cause the Believer to
excel.
Since the Holy Spirit, who is the Anointing, produces all of those resources THEN
the purpose of prosperity is to remove burdens off of people and to destroy the
yokes of slavery that enemy has placed upon people.
The Purpose of Prosperity is to eliminate needs and make people free!

According to a Christianity Today article from 2011:
Evangelicals gave 4% of their income to churches.
Christians in general gave 2.43% of their income to churches.
Share faith.com - It’s alarming that Christians now give less per capita than
during the Great Depression. When we finally look at those in church, at best
25% of the congregation give.That’s at best. If you have that level of
participation, you’re not in the norm, according to other research, which says
only about 3-5% actually tithe in most cases. And, it’s not the wealthy who
always tithe. The statistics suggest that if you make less than $20k, you’re
eight times more likely to give than someone who makes more than $75k.
