Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: How do Daring and Diversification Work Together? Isn’t a daring approach the exact opposite of diversification? How are these compatible instead of contradictory? The answer lies in the double thread that binds these principles together: firstly, the limits of human knowledge and secondly, the sovereign, active hand of God.

Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: Daring without Diversification

Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: Daring without Diversification The danger/error is that we do not give enough consideration to the limits of human knowledge into the plan and ways of God. (James 4:13-16)

Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: Daring without Diversification However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out. Even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out. (Ecc 8:17)

Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: Daring without Diversification Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” (Romans 11:33–34)

Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: Diversification without Daring Compare Peter and the other apostles: They had all preached and healed the sick Had all cast out demons Had all ministered alongside Jesus to the poor Even the geographical range of ministry was impressive

Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: Diversification without Daring Compare Peter and the other apostles: (Matt 14:22-33) Peter asks Jesus to “allow” him to come out to him on the water. And he does. Peter steps out of the boat and walks on water!

Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: Diversification without Daring Compare Peter and the other apostles: (Matt 14:22-33) Peter asks Jesus to “allow” him to come out to him on the water.

Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: Diversification without Daring Compare Peter and the other apostles: In Acts, although all the apostles did miracles and were involved in the amazing growth of the early church, Peter was preeminent among them

Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: Diversification without Daring Compare Peter and the other apostles: In Acts, although all the apostles did miracles and were involved in the amazing growth of the early church, Peter was preeminent among them Peter illustrates the proverb that those who are faithful over a little will be set over much.

Part 1: Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (p559) Principles of Spiritual Prosperity: So we need to diversify our interests because we do not know for certain what God has in mind.
