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 opport...

Psalms 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. Child of God you need to expect good things to come your way. Let your heart be established on that. Do not be double minded, not knowing what to expect.  There is a teaching which has been popularised nowadays called positive thinking. If you are not careful you may mistake it for faith but it isn't. Positive thinking is an attitude that only expects positive things based on one's own willpower. Faith on the other hand expects good things based on God's word. The former is based on the mind of a man. The later is based on the mind of God.  Positive thinking says if man desires something so badly then they get it. Underline "man". When has man been the centre of things? Isn't that a dethronement of God and enthroning man instead? Doesn't that lead one to self susten...

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. We can succeed in all things that we lay our hands on according to this scripture if we meditate on God's word day and night. I wonder if you believe that statement as radical as it sounds? Many will justify all the suffering they go through and blame it on God wanting to teach then something but all that cannot be farther from the truth.  God's best is to teach us through His Word and not sickness. Would you want your child to learn by sending them diseases or poverty? Am sure you wouldn't but definitely you would wish they hear your instructions and stay away from trouble. Many times you remember what your parent told you when you do the opposite and land into trouble. That's how people are when it com...

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. It is God's will that we prosper and yet still have peace. There are those whose prosperity brought with it worries, pressures, troubles from loans to the point of even taking pills to get sound sleep, taking alcohol to temporarily forget the troubles they are in, play hide and seek from loan shacks and banks coming to get a hold of the property they put in as security, police cases from squoaters they evited illegally from their land without adequate compensation, people blackmailing them or threating to expose them in the papers for the wrong way they got their riches, kidnaps of their children or loved ones, endless imprisonment for fraud etc. The list is endless.  Some after amassing the wealth without a care of their health, end up spending the rest of their lives spending heavily to keep themselves alive, some after wrecking their marriages or families or steppi...

Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. God created man in the beginning and gave man all things except one, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Like Eve added later that touching it was not okay too, if I may borrow her very words for emphasis, many are eating and touching what doesn't belong to them but God's and that's why they aren't prospering.  For instance, many earn money (100%) and instead of giving part of it back to God, in form or tithes or offerings or seed (minimum of 10%), they touch it and eat it! How then can God multiply them if they don't give part of what He has given them back to him yet they can have all the 90% to themselves? Take for instance a little child receiving something to eat from their parent or any adult, when the adult ...

3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." John was writing to his beloved Giaus how that he wished that above all things that he would prosper and be in health, even as his soul prospers. If it was written to Giaus, it's your message too. God wants you and I to prosper.    With the rising prices in fuel or foodstuffs, it is still God's will to prosper you even when things aren't looking good in the economy. The abundance Adam lived in before the fall is the prototype of what He wills you and I to have or enjoy. They had all they needed without toil or sweat. Christ's victory on the cross restored us to that state and more than what Adam had. If lack is the story for all those around you, you can live above it for Christ became poor that we might be made rich, hallelujah.  Further scriptures   2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, ye...
