Divine prosperity

"And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; …"
Genesis 39:1-2

I want you to know today that there is such a thing as divine prosperity. This refers to prosperity by divine input. This means that you become prosperous by God's involvement in your life. That was the kind of prosperity Joseph had, as seen in our opening scripture. It is not the kind of prosperity you get just by human connections or academic qualifications. That is natural prosperity. The prosperity that was at work in Joseph's life was divine prosperity. He was a slave, yet he became a prosperous man.

2 Chronicles 26:5 shows us the secret of Uzziah's prosperity. The Bible says, "And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper." Divine prosperity is founded solely on God.

Natural prosperity is not founded on God or the principles of the Word of God. To prosper naturally in most cases, some people steal, cheat and deceive others in other to increase in riches. The Bible speaks about this in Psalm 73:1-12. When you see people prospering without God, don't envy them because the Bible says in Psalm 127:1, "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."

Natural prosperity can only go as far as your scheming can take you. It ends where your connections end. But divine prosperity is permanent prosperity; you will go farther than anyone can take you. The grace for such prosperity is what God has released upon us this year. It is time to learn how to activate this grace for divine prosperity.

Prayer.

Dear Father I thank you for the great grace for prosperity that you have released on me this year. I ask that as I act upon your Word and the principles of divine prosperity, may I be empowered for a supernatural change of status for progress in every area of my life in Jesus Name. Amen.
