Prosperity VI

Genesis 12:2-3 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

In our theme scripture, we see Abraham promised a blessing so that he would also become a blessing to others. In proceeding chapters he became so rich in cattle, gold and in good works too. 

He was a blessing in the rescue of Lot and helping overcome the enemies of King of Sodom and Gomorrah in the battle of the Kings. After rescuing Lot, he didn't even take anything from the spoils, lest they say that his riches was a result of that war. He entirely trusted God and God made him rich, this showed how he was not only content in his relationship with God, but also how blessed he was.

God can make you so rich that you become a great blessing to the work of God. This was true to the church at Macedonia who looked for every opportunity to be a blessing to the work of God in Paul's ministry. We are coming to a time when you will literally approach men of God and those around you and ask them how you can be a blessing to them. Even now you can exercise it in small ways. Buy someone a gift and gift them.

May God bless you, enrich you, make your name great, be so rich that you start begging to give. Hallelujah.

Genesis 14:21-24 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not [take] from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that [is] thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....

Jesus, the reason for the season

Image
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Jesus is the reason for the season we are in. He is the gift of God unto men. Who on earth does not like gifts and who on earth can reject the Gift of all gifts, moreover given by God Himself? Jesus cannot be rejected because He is love, He is Grace, He is Life and Truth.  In case you doubt His claims you cannot argue with everything that happens in this season. It's evidence that His claims are true. All the jubilations around worldwide and around town are because He is the joy to the world, the decorations all over the place are because He is the Light of the world, the endless traffic jams, people arm twisting themselves in the bus parks fighting for a seat in the bus to head back to the villages, the commotion in the business centre as everyone wants to grab...
