A life of Prosperity

“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” 
Romans 8:32(KJV)

From our opening scripture today, we see that the death of Jesus Christ for us is God's guarantee that He wants to meet all your needs. So if you believe that Jesus died for you, it is God's guarantee to you that He will meet all your needs.

Please make this declaration out loud, say, “God wants me to prosper. God is happy when I prosper. When I prosper the goodness of God is manifested to all men.” This lets you know that your prosperity is not for a selfish reason, but your prosperity is for a divine purpose. Do you know that your prosperity as a child of God is good publicity for the kingdom of God? The Bible lets us know in Psalm 73:1(MSG) “No doubt about it! God is good…” But do you know that your prosperity makes God look good to unbelievers?

God wants you to prosper so you can attract unbelievers to Christ. I heard the story of a muslim landlord in Lagos who having observed the lives of his Christian tenants that they were prospering, called one of his tenants who was not doing so well financially and began to advice him to start going to church with his tenants who are Christians so that he can also prosper and move forward in his life. So the man heeded the advice, started going to church with the other Christians, then he started prospering. Later on the landlord who was a muslim also decided to become a Christian and started going to church with them and he also prospered.

God can do the same thing with your life and He wants to do the same thing with your life. So do not be afraid, neither should you feel guilty because you are prospering. Use your prosperity to favour God's righteous cause by using your prosperity to win unbelievers to Christ.

PRAYER
Dear Father I thank you because the blessing of Abraham is at work in me because I am in Christ. Therefore I am blessed to be a blessing until all the families of the earth have been blessed in Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study read: 
Genesis 22:17-18, Genesis 26:4, Genesis 27:29, Galatians 3:7, 26-29.

DOING THE WORD
Look out for ways you can be a blessing to others.
