Am I a prosperity preacher???

Life doesnt have to be hard for everyone. When men say there is a casting down, keep saying there is a lifting. Quit listening to those people who say a certain stage of life or a certain position or a certain geographical location is hard or tough. Your cases are different.

God deals with prosperity on quite a personal level. In the realm of God’s Kingdom, an individual may prosper while those around him continue in the direction ofpoverty. Psalm 91:7 "though a thousand shall fall.. " There are numerous examples in the scriptures.

In spite of the realisms of our economy that do affect situations we may find ourselves in, there are spiritual laws that are superior to and rise above those situations.

God has said "I will bless you and you will be a blessing."Gen 12:2 Your gifts, talents, wealth, joy, are meant not just for you, but for people around you. Of course God uses people as channels,  His blessings on you are to empower you to reach His people.

In Deut. 28:1-2, 11 (amp.), it says, “If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God. If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth…And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God.”If one chooses not to listen to the voice of the Lord, v. 15 then says they shall experience the curse of poverty. Poverty is a lack in any area. It is obviously His will for us to prosper, as we see in Psa. 35:27 (amp.), “…Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

There is good reason for the Lord to desire us to be prosperous.

We have a work to do for Him and without sufficiency the work would be incomplete. In 2 Cor. 9:8 (amp.), Paul tells us, “And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].”

Prosperity is not for selfish gain but for Heaven’s gain. Open up your heart to receive from God, keep honouring God, do the right thing,  be diligent where you are, be good to people,  and watch God expand your barns.

Making it happen for others.

Part of our honest and sincere expressions of true love for God's people whom He has created and definitely loves would be caring for them. This also, is our expression of love for God. (1John 4:20)

This involves giving, meeting their needs, taking time to talk with them on what concerns them, helping them out at home, on their jobs, at school, looking out for them.

But again, we show how much we care about people when we talk to their maker about them. When we decree blessings upon them, when we pray.

Many times, I pray and talk to God about people whom I don't even know. I see a grown man driving a school bus, hes sad, doesn't feel like he's happy, maybe he has issues at home, maybe he needs another job, and i just talk to God about it.

Have a friend who just got in a new relationship and I start speaking the blessings in my quiet corner, a friend is celebrating their birthday and even though you have gifts to offer, you just bless them and keep blessing them.

I believe that God smiles when we decree blessings on others as if we ourselves dont need them. Sometimes when we pray for people, we may be tempted to say "Hey! I just spoke out all the blessings for a perfect life on someone else"

But know today that God is not unfaithful. He's the only one who can truly judge intentions, He is pleased when you care for others even when they are not aware. God loves a cheerful giver. So be not weary in well-doing (Galatians 6:9).

He is God, He knows what you need. And even if you find out (however possible that is) that no one else is praying for you like you pray for others, realize that you're already connected to the source, to the one people pray to, to God.

And I know that what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you. Hebrews 6:10 "God is not unrighteous..."

Following a conversation today with one of the office assistants/cleaners in my place of work, I came to understand that she lost her husband 3months ago.

The point is, we need to understand that we are blessed,  so that we can be a blessing Genesis 12:2

God has put you in the world so you can do His work on earth.  "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth,  as it is in heaven".

If you're too high to descend and reach out to someone who's falling, how are you going to position as God's instrument on earth.

Proverbs 3:27-34 "Do not withhold good from them to whom it is due when it is in the power of the thine hand to do it."
There are opportunities all around you to be someone's miracle. You may just be the answer to someone's prayers.

Good night.
