Jesus said to all men, "Seek ye first his kingdom, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto
you." This does not mean that if you belong to a certain
church you will be prospered, for "righteousness" is not
conforming to some particular religious belief but to the
law of right thinking, regardless of creed, dogma, or
religious form. Get into the prosperity thought and you
will demonstrate prosperity. Cultivate the habit of
thinking about abundance everywhere present, not only in
the forms of imagination but in forms without. Jesus did
not make a separation between the two as though they were
at enmity. He said, "Render therefore unto Caesar the
things that are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are
God's." Put things in their right relation, the spiritual
first and the material following, each where it belongs,
and render to each its own.

Realize first of all that prosperity is not wholly a matter
of capital or environment but a condition brought about by
certain ideas that have been allowed to rule in the
consciousness. When these ideas are changed the conditions
are changed in spite of environment and all appearances,
which must also change to conform to the new ideas. People
who come into riches suddenly without building up a
consciousness of prosperity soon part from their money.
Those who are born and bred to riches usually have plenty
all their life even though they never make the effort to
earn a dollar for themselves. This is because the ideas of
plenty are so interwoven

In the great Mind of God there is no thought of lack, and
such a thought has no rightful place in your mind. It is
your birthright to be prosperous, regardless of who you are
or where you may be.
