YOUR PROSPERITY IS SETTLED
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. – Psalm 34:10
Your prosperity is by divine decree. The first divine decree of your prosperity is found in the Bible text above. The Word of God here does not say, “…those who seek the Lord may not.”.. He says they “shall not lack any good thing.” This verse is written in the language of a decree with God’s seal on it. The only way you ca“nlack any good thing” is when good thing comes and personally reject it.
The second decree is in Deuteronomy 28:11:
And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
The text above records that the Lord shall make you plenteous in goods. It does not say plenteous in spirit. What are goods? They are cars, houses, cloths, land, and anything money can bu–ymaterial things!
Further, this text talks about the fruit of your body. This means you will have children, as many as you want. You will also have lots of money to take care of them. If you have any domestic anim–al goat, sheep, poultry, cattle, et–c . God says they will keep on prospering. If you plant anything, it will come out very well. Now examine the next verse carefully.
The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. – Deuteronomy 28:11
God is not talking about you lending money to individuals, but to nations. He added one thing;“…and thou shalt not borrow”. This is talking about wealth that is very difficult for human beings to imagine.
One of the reasons many are poor today is because they take God too lightly.
Concerning salvation, they believe the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sins. On divine healing, they c“la…imby His stripes we are healed”. Talking about the kind of wealth that will enable them to lend to nations, doubts are raised. They will ask questions like: “How can people become that ric”h“?Are there people like that in this world?”
In addition, another divine decree exists in Deuteronomy 28:13:
And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them.
We have earlier observed that the poor are servants to the rich. Have you ever experienced being sacked at work?– You left home in the morning rejoicing that you were going to work, and on getting to workplace, they said you have a letter. When you opened the letter, you read: “…We regret to let you know that your services are no longer required in this organization…”You came to work with joy, but left with sorrow. So how can you explain that the poor is not a slave to the rich? God in his awesomeness is telling you in the text above, “That is not my plan for you! My plan for you is to be a director yourself.”
You may ask, “ If we all become directors, who will then be the servants? ” – The unbelievers of course! That is their lot. We are children of the Most High. We are princes and princesses of the King of kings.
Let us examine another decree of prosperity in Psalm 37:18:
The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
There will be a time of prosperity. There will also be time of austerity. There will be the time of plenty. There will also be the time for famine. As far as God’s children are concerned, even in the time of famine, they shall be satisfied.
I remember a story I heard about a man. He was strolling in London and saw a car factory, which happened to be where they manufactured a brand of the car he rides. He sa“idWhat? Is this where they manufactured my car? Why can’t they put the place right?” The following day, he came to the factory and said“, I want to buy this factory”. One of the company officials replied,“Where will you get the money to buy it? It is not only cars we manufacture, but aircraft too.” The man said, “I want you to tell me how much it is.” They thought he was joking, or probably out of his mind. The official told him the cost of the factory. There and
then, he wrote a cheque to cover the amount even with interest, and the factory became his.
When we go to some television stations and they say we want to preach Jesus Christ, they say.” No! This is network channel; we don’t allow this here,” we should be able to say,“ How much is this television studio? Just tell me how much and we will give you double the price.” This is why we are asking for prosperity. We are not asking for prosperity in order to be able to marry two wives. God forbid! We need money in order to be able to accomplish the work of God assigned to us. If we do not take over this country, those who are holding money will take over this country from us. This is why you must be prosperous.
How will God do it? Psalm 113:7 explains it:
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
The Bible says that the poor lives in the dunghill. Compared to where you can be, you are living in a dunghill. The Almighty God will reach down and pick you up by the hand, that is, if you raise your hand to him. If you raise your hand and say, “I need help!” He will lift you up in Jesus’ name. It will not be God’s fault if He reaches down with His hand and you fold your hands.
No one is completely comfortable until he can do whatever he wants to do when he wants to do it. Let me put it in another way. Anybody who cannot do what he wants to do when he wants to do it is a prisoner. A prisoner cannot go where he wants to go; cannot eat what he wants to eat. God will reach down and grab those who are ready and lift them up with His supernatural power.
A little imagination on how God will work these things out leaves us in awe. Look at 1 Chronicles 29:11-12:
Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand ispower and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
The Bible says here that God, our Father owns it all; everything. Not only does He have everything; the power to distribute it as He wishes is with Him too. If He has power to share like this, what is He going to do? This could be found in Psalm 68:10:
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
Out of His goodness and the wealth He has, God has divided them into portions, and the poor have theirs. The question“Wish; at about those already taken by the unbelievers?” The devil knows that most Christians feel that they do not need money, and as such, those who serve him can have the money. He knows that money is there. He knows they belong to God, but if the sons of God say they do not want it, the slaves can have it.
What will God do to the wealth the slaves already have if His children rise and say they want it back? Isaiah 61:5-6 says,
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
As discussed above, those who are not of God will be messengers if all Christians become directors. We will put them to work and sweat, and after sweating, we will collect the gain and give them a little to sustain them. They will be satisfied with it, just as Christians are satisfied when strangers are feeding them. Those who are not supposed to be in authority and control of wealth are there because they grabbed your Father’s money. Then they make Christians labour and sweat 24 hours a day. Before 5.am, you wake up, not because you want to pray, but because you do not want to miss the bus to work. Moreover, if you get late to work, the one you call a slave will issue you a query. If you say you are a son of God, what type of son are you? You have to take your position now!
In the above text, the Lord promises that if you walk according to His commands, you shall be named the priest of the Lord. Men shall call you the ministers of our God. You will eat the riches of the Gentiles, and you shall boast yourself in the glory of the Gentiles. Take what belongs to you. If God is your Father, then what your Father has is yours.
