Prosperity by the spirit.

"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."

Joshua 1:8

I heard the story of a Christian lady who became the richest woman in Asia at a particular time. She was from an orphanage. She said she built her life on two scriptures: John 10:10 and Ephesians 3:20. There was a time she made a business decision by the spirit. Some renowned economists who knew about her business mocked her for making such a decision. Some years later when they saw that her decision turned out to be a sound decision, they came to her and asked her how she knew the trouble that was coming. She said that she had an intuition from the Holy Spirit to make the decision she made.

Do you want to minimize your losses and mistakes? Then partner with the Holy Spirit. The Bible says in John 16:13, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."

Kenneth Hagin spoke about the young man who when he started listening to his messages had only fifty dollars to his name. In seven years, that same man was worth seven million. How did he get there? From culturing his spirit with the Word of God. He said whenever he wanted to make a business decision, he does not just rush to make any decision. He took his time to pray about it and meditated on the Word of God before making any business decision or investment. He said some deals might look lucrative and promising but if he had a witness of the spirit not to invest in it, he left it, and most times, such businesses crashed. By so doing, he said he never missed any investment opportunity.

Instruction.

Please pray the prayer in Ephesians 1:17 for yourself today.
