MUCHNESS
The Prosperity Mentality
___
MUCHNESS
much·ness | \ ˈməch-nəs
What is “muchness”?
The quality or state of being great in quantity, extent and degree of magnitude. Muchness is what makes a person or thing major, meaningful, material, momentous and monumental. It is not simply becoming big or bigger. It is to become more substantial, significant and superior. It is more than grandeur; it is greatness. It is the ability and the capacity to exceed your present limitations. It is the instinct to increase. It is the aptitude of abundance. It is the propensity to prosper.
Psalm 145:3 says, “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable”. The word, “greatly” in the original Hebrew text is describing “muchness”. The word is intensive and superlative. God is much and muchly to be praised. He is to be praised because of His extravagant muchness. God has an unsearchable greatness! How much muchness is that?
God wants us to experience His nature and character. God wants us to live in muchness. Jesus says, “I am come that you might have life; and that more abundantly” (John 10:10b).
We need to meditate on the muchness of God. We should put our minds on His muchness. We should be speaking, thinking and expecting muchness. Muchness is a mindset. Muchness is your mandate. Muchness is God’s wisdom and will for your life.
These 31 Proverbs and the precepts they teach will show you the mechanics of muchness. Read them out loud. Read them again. Declare them to be true about you. Believe them and obey them!
- Proverbs 2:3-4 – Insight and intelligence is your key to prosperity.
Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.
- Proverbs 3:13, 14 – Fire Ignorance. It’s too expensive.
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold.
- Proverbs 8:10, 11 – If you learn you will earn.
Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it.

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.

Better to have little, with fear for the Lord, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil.

Wise words are more valuable than much gold and many rubies.
- Proverbs 6:6-8 – Inner motivation is your secret to increase.
Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter.
- Proverbs 6:10, 11- Sleep is a necessity; don’t make it a luxury.

Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.
