Righteous prosperity

Righteous prosperity.

“May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you! The land has produced its harvest; God, our God, has blessed us. God has blessed us; may all people everywhere honor him ...” Psalm 67:5-7(GNB)

God prospers you to humble the world for His glory so that He can show off with your life. Your prosperity as a Christian makes God look good and gives good publicity for the kingdom of God.

I remember the story of a Muslim landlord whose house was close to a church. Anytime any of his tenants was having financial problems he always directed them to the church close to his house because he had noticed that everyone that goes to the church prospers. As he saw the prosperity in the lives of his tenants after they started attending the church, this Muslim Alhaji finally decided one Sunday to visit the church; when he did, he got born again and his life became a testimony of God's saving grace.

What evidence of the gospel led to the conversion of this Muslim to Christ? The visible prosperity in the lives of Christians. Their prosperity drew him to Christ and he became blessed as well. God will also do the same for you, if you believe and start applying the principles of prosperity you have learnt from this month's devotional faithfully.

Prayer.
In the Name of Jesus, I declare according to my faith in Galatians 3:13-14, that Christ hath redeemed me from the curse of the law, being made a curse for me: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come upon me through Jesus Christ; I declare that the blessing of Abraham is mine. Amen.

For further study, read:
Genesis 12:2-3, Galatians 3:8-9, Galatians 3:13-14.
