The commandment of prosperity

"And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;" Genesis 3:17

From our opening scripture, it is obvious that suffering and shortage started after the fall of man. God cursed the ground when man fell, which meant that he would have to toil all his life. One of the reasons why man fell as shown to us from our opening scripture was because Adam choose to listen to the voice of his wife rather than the commandment given to him by God in Genesis 2:16-17, "…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."

Therefore, if you are going to experience divine prosperity, the Word of God must have final authority in your life. God's Word and His principles for prosperity which you are learning in this month’s devotional must become a commandment to you for you to experience divine prosperity. What is a commandment? A commandment is a non negotiable obligation. It is not a suggestion. It is something that you must do. The Bible says in Psalm 112:1-3, "Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever."

Prayer.
