Is there a direct correlation between national income prosperity and gender empowerment?
Why is this the case?
Yes. The cause and effect probably goes both ways and they reinforce each other.
What are 2 key factors other than location that supports why countries in the Northern Hemisphere are generally more prosperous? Why?
Thank you!
How about the fact that over 75% of the Southern Hemisphere is under water?
Do you think it will sell? I want to be the Creflo Dollar of Islam. Allah wants you to prosper!
I lol’d at this thought. But not happening, especially since the Qua ran has verses like Help the poor and widows and orphans. Nice try though.
Instead of saints, pilgrims, or ascetics, what kind of person does our culture tend to put up on a pedestal for us to admire/emulate? Do you think the hopes/fears of the average person today is oriented toward the eternal world, or the temporal world? Toward spiritual purity, or material prosperity?
Great question. Majority of the world currently focuses on satisfy our material desires, (Food, Sex, Family, Money, Honor, Power, Knowledge, etc). However, there is a growing percentage of humanity that desires Spiritual Fulfillment. These people are at the top of the pyramid of development so to speak. However, this desire for Spirituality will eventually spread throughout the whole of Humanity until Spirituality will become the dominating desire within Humanity.

Since advocates for illegals claim Immigrants have fueled the growth & prosperity of the United States , so do you think we should just go ahead and start allowing more and more illegal Immigrants to enter America since this will fuel the growth & prosperity of US and the Recession would end overnight thus saving billions of dollars .
In fact… and it is a fact… there is NO evidence that can be produced which supports that. There is, however a huge amount of evidence that tells us how very much damage this country has suffered at the hands of the illegal aliens.

Assalamu va alaikum.. A new house is being constructed, I’ve seen many houses where an ayat is embedded in the front facing wall.But I am not sure which one to write. I need an ayat which will protect the house from evil, bring happiness and prosperity to the house. Please advise…Ma assalamah..!!
Why don’t you just worship the ayah that will bring you prosperity forget your creator and your deeds
America has already enjoyed its turn at happiness and prosperity. The rest of the world needs a chance to enjoy the easy life. President Obama will be the one to ensure that the rest of the world comes before the USA (for a CHANGE!). Finally after more than 200 years, we will finally have a President that will make this country something we can be proud of!
Obama 2008!
Yes!
To most on the far left the United States deserved 9/11, just ask Rev. Wright!
I did a prosperity spell, but what to do with the ingredients? The spell says to leave it undisturbed for 3 days, but today is the last day… what to do? pour it on the earth like the potion.
blessed be!!
With money spells, where you want the result to stay close to you, it’s usual to dispose of the remains someplace like your yard or under your house.
However, some alternative’s I’ve heard are:
Disposal at a bank (tossing it into the bushes they have out front, for example) on the presumption this will strengthen the money-drawing ability by being close to money.
Disposal in a river. This mostly has to do with symbology of "cashflow" and some other holy properties water possesses in some beliefs (for example Ochun, the river goddess, rules luxury and wealth in Santeria)
Disposal in a crossroads (either burying it or tossing it into one.) This comes from magical attributions of such places.
Psalm 30:6,7
Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
"I will never be moved."
O LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
by allowing Him to become the foundation of ones life & having faith in Him.
if you do this, God will give you the desires of your heart & prosper you & give you a hope & a future.
God can never be moved, for He is the beginning & end. Alpha & omega.
He gives His people the strength to stand firm also.
What does the Bible say about the prosperity gospel?
Is it God’s will for all Christians to be financially prosperous?
In the prosperity gospel, also known as the “Word of Faith,” the believer is told to use God, whereas the truth of biblical Christianity is just the opposite—God uses the believer. Word of Faith or prosperity theology sees the Holy Spirit as a power to be put to use for whatever the believer wills. The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is a Person who enables the believer to do God’s will. The prosperity gospel movement closely resembles some of the destructive greed sects that infiltrated the early church. Paul and the other apostles were not accommodating to or conciliatory with the false teachers who propagated such heresy. They identified them as dangerous false teachers and urged Christians to avoid them.
Paul warned Timothy about such men in 1 Timothy 6:5, 9-11. These men of “corrupt mind” supposed godliness was a means of gain and their desire for riches was a trap that brought them “into ruin and destruction” (v. 9). The pursuit of wealth is a dangerous path for Christians and one which God warns about: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs” (v. 10). If riches were a reasonable goal for the godly, Jesus would have pursued it. But He did not, preferring instead to have no place to lay His head (Matthew 8:20) and teaching His disciples to do the same. It should also be remembered that the only disciple concerned with wealth was Judas.
Paul said covetousness is idolatry (Ephesians 5:5) and instructed the Ephesians to avoid anyone who brought a message of immorality or covetousness (Ephesians 5:6-7). Prosperity teaching prohibits God from working on His own, meaning that God is not Lord of all because He cannot work until we release Him to do so. Faith, according to the Word of Faith doctrine, is not submissive trust in God; faith is a formula by which we manipulate the spiritual laws that prosperity teachers believe govern the universe. As the name “Word of Faith” implies, this movement teaches that faith is a matter of what we say more than whom we trust or what truths we embrace and affirm in our hearts.
A favorite term in the Word of Faith movement is “positive confession.” This refers to the teaching that words themselves have creative power. What you say, Word of Faith teachers claim, determines everything that happens to you. Your confessions, especially the favors you demand of God, must all be stated positively and without wavering. Then God is required to answer (as though man could require anything of God!). Thus, God’s ability to bless us supposedly hangs on our faith. James 4:13-16 clearly contradicts this teaching: “Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.’ Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” Far from speaking things into existence in the future, we do not even know what tomorrow will bring or even whether we will be alive.
Instead of stressing the importance of wealth, the Bible warns against pursuing it. Believers, especially leaders in the church (1 Timothy 3:3), are to be free from the love of money (Hebrews 13:5). The love of money leads to all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10). Jesus warned, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15). In sharp contrast to the Word of Faith emphasis on gaining money and possessions in this life, Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal” (Matthew 6:19). The irreconcilable contradictions between prosperity teaching and the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is best summed up in the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:24, “You cannot serve both God and money.”
