SHINE IN PROSPERITY
Memorise: Cry yet, saying,
thus saith the LORD of hosts; my cities through prosperity shall yet be spread
abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion , and
shall yet choose Jerusalem
While it is true that the Lord expects us to shine in the areas of our
character and soul-winning, He also expects us to shine in the area of
prosperity. No wonder He gave us great promises on prosperity, such as these
found in Deuteronomy 28:12:
“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.”
Poverty is one of the repercussions of sin; hence there is so much
poverty across the globe. God is not happy with the level of poverty in the
world, this is why He has chosen to make His children prosper and set them as
lights that will wipe out the darkness of poverty from nations (Psalm 35:27).
If you have been blessed by God but have not yet reached the level where you
can lend to nations, it shows that you have not yet arrived at the level of
prosperity God is taking you to. Because of your current lowly situation, you
may find it hard to believe that God can truly increase you to this level, but
the truth about God’s integrity is that if He has promised to do it, He will
definitely keep His promises, provided you do your part.
Concerning where God is taking
you to, you would be wise to always remember that your present situation does
not matter. God’s destination for you is quite different from where you are
now. Your present location cannot stop God from taking you to the destination
He has for you. He is the God who can relocate a beggar from the dunghill to
sit with princes and nobles (1st Samuel 2:8). David was just a
shepherd boy attending to his father’s little flock, but when God decided to
move him into greatness, his humble circumstances did not stop God. The young
shepherd boy became king according to God’s promise (2nd Samuel 7:8). God did
the same for Joseph. Joseph had a dream, but he also had very determined
dream-killers as brothers. They sold him into slavery, and at a point he was a
prisoner. In spite of all these, he rose from prison to become prime minister
of Egypt
Prayer Point
