Prosperity is Not Our Goal
Isaiah 1:19 teaches us that prosperity is not our
goal in life but is a by-product of obedience. Financial prosperity for the Christian
is not a choice, it is your heritage and your birth right. However that does
not mean that you will necessarily enjoy prosperity. You need to first discover
or know your birth right to enjoy it. We are already financially prosperous by birth
right and do not need to fight or struggle for financial prosperity.
For instance a British born student ignorantly paying
foreign student fees at a British University. He must realise that as an
indigenous Briton, it is his right to pay no or reduced fees. Remember, none of God's children were born
not to do well. Our heritage is to do well.
Ecclesiastes 5:10 tells us that it is futile
to love cash or abundance, as there is no satisfaction in them.
The enemy will always ensure that you have things
you chase instead of serving God. It is your wisdom to quit chasing tangible
things and focus on the intangible because the tangible is a product of the
intangible.
We serve a
God who is more than enough. God gave quails to the Israelites in the
wilderness of which they ate their fill when they wanted meat. No money was expended by God or the
Israelites to gain the quail.
Do not trust in the earthly economy to meet your
needs. Hebrews 4:10 lets us know that
those who have entered God's rest have ceased from their labours.
If God can get funds through you a ready vessel,
he can get funds to you. Abraham was blessed by God to be a blessing. The goal
is to be a blessing, not to be blessed because we were born blessed when we got
born again.
CONFESSIONS
I am a blessing to my work, church and the kingdom
of God.
I am a vessel of God's blessing.
I am a channel of God's blessing.
Funds are coming through me to be channeled.
I am rich, poverty is not in my DNA.
