PROSPERITY!

3 John 1:2 (ESV)

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.

 

We all desire prosperity and we work tirelessly to achieve it but according to Deuteronomy 8:18, power to be prosperous comes from God and it’s to have enough money to aid the work of God’s kingdom and to help the needy and less privileged.

So many people misunderstand prosperity, unfortunately, some think it’s a sin to be rich. Perhaps many people have been brainwashed to think this way due to many false prophets or ministers trying to extract money from God’s people, but regardless of what people do, God never changes. God is the same yesterday, today and forever and He’s not going to change His plan concerning us because of the mistakes or shortcomings of others.

Proverbs 13:22 states that the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just- how will you claim your share of that wealth without God’s wisdom and guidance?

Wealth and riches are God’s plan for His people. If the wealthiest God is thrice holy, then it is possible to be rich and holy at the same time.

When Jesus talked about wealth, that it would be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, He was speaking of those who love, rely on, and would do anything to keep the riches they have acquired, loving money according to 1 Timothy 6:10 in place of God.

God’s perspective according to Psalm 1:3 on financial prosperity is that whatever we lay our hands on will prosper. Some of us have laboured hard yet have nothing to show for our efforts.

But God’s desire is clear from the text, for us to prosper.

We can work, till, plant and do all we know to do but if the Lord’s hand is not in any of the things we do, it will be a waste.

The Lord teaches us to make a profit in all our endeavours says Isaiah 48:17.

According to Ezekiel 34:25-31, the Lord assures us of security and prosperity with a covenant of peace where there will be showers of blessings. The showers of blessing will not last if we don’t walk in obedience to God’s word or the principles of kingdom finances.

We must learn to exercise our finances by faith and believe in God concerning our prosperity.

It is the Father’s will and agenda for His children to manifest wealth and riches, to prosper and to be in good health.

Matthew 6:33 says when we seek God first, everything we need will be added to us.

The Lord gives us seed as states in 2 Corinthians 9:10 to sow which create the kind of heaven ordained and lasting prosperity God wants for us.

So, do not eat your seed, sow it! The seed is your tithe, offerings, and love gifts.

A farmer harvests crops for eating or selling, then he keeps the seedlings to invest for the next planting season, by and large, the farmer will always be the first to enjoy the harvest according to 2 Timothy 2:6.

The wealth God blesses us with is not only for us but be a blessing for other people.

God is our source, provider, and helper who empowers us to prosper. Financial prosperity is your inheritance.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

-        What does prosperity mean to me personally, and how does it align with God's definition of prosperity in Scripture?

-        According to Deuteronomy 8:18, God gives the power to get wealth. How am I using that power to serve His kingdom and help others?

-        Am I seeking financial prosperity for selfish reasons or to fulfil God's purpose?

-        How can I be a blessing to others with the wealth God entrusts to me?

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Word that declares it is Your will for me to prosper and be in good health, even as my soul prospers. I acknowledge You as my source, my provider, and my helper. Teach me to profit in all I do and guide me with Your wisdom to make decisions that honour You. Help me to sow faithfully, to walk in obedience, and to trust You with my prosperity in Jesus’ name, amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
