All-round Prosperity

Wednesday 11 January
READ: III Jn. 2
MORE LESSON: Gen.39:1-6

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth: III Jn.2 is God’s golden Word to you this morning. God wants you to prosper in all areas of life. Some say that God will not bless you all-round so that you will stay humble, or that God gives you one good thing and takes another good thing from you in exchange. These are just human postulations; the Word of God says God wants you to prosper all-round. Consider how the Amplified version puts that same verse, Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and that your body may keep well, even as I know your soul keeps well and prospers. Say to yourself, “I will prosper in every way, in every area of my life because this is God's will for me. My spirit, soul and body will prosper. I will not settle for less, in Jesus’ name”. Divine prosperity is full and all encompassing; it affects the spirit, soul and body.
How can you enjoy all-round prosperity? 1)Be connected and stay connected to God. Deut.8:18 says, But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. Therefore true wealth is only gotten by connection to God. 2) Find something doing; God made all that Joseph did in his master's house to prosper as clearly seen in the second reading for today. If you are not doing anything and you expect great prosperity, you will not have your wish. What has God put in you? Put it to use and He will bless that thing. No one is created empty, everyone is a solution for someone somewhere and people will pay for solution.
Locate what God has put in you to bless humanity and sell it and it will bring wealth your way. 3) Have a giving life. Pro.11:24 says, There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. The secret to breaking tightness in finances is not to hold unto money or hide money somewhere, it is to put money to work or invest it in valuable ways. Part of investing is spending for God's kingdom. Sacrificially give to God's projects and building of His kingdom, bless God's servants and people in need especially those that are close to God's heart like His servants on the field, missionaries, widows and orphans.
Obey these principles rather than envy the wicked that use evil and ungodly means to get wealth. Such people do not have all-round prosperity because wealth in this brief world without spiritual prosperity is equal to eternity in hell, what will a man give in exchange for his soul? No prosperity must jeopardise a man's eternal abode and placement in Heaven.

Prayer/Action
* My heritage in Christ is all-round prosperity, I connect permanently to God for all-round prosperity, in Jesus’ name.
* Help me Lord to practise the principles of abiding wealth. I will not just be blessed but will be a blessing to humanity, in Jesus’ name.

Sevenfold as Bright

Tuesday 10 January
READ: Isa. 30: 26
MORE LESSON: Gen. 1: 14

The Lord wants to increase His light upon your life. In Gen 1: 14, God created the lights in the firmament and He said that they should be for signs. As a carrier of light, God has made you to be for signs. You are a sign and a wonder to many. Isa. 8: 18 says concerning you, Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. As the light of God is multiplied in your life, you become a wonder to many,
I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge: Psa. 71:7. Isa. 30:26 says, Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. This is the day that the Lord will give a sevenfold increase to His light in your life. This happens when He binds up your bruise and heals the stroke of your wound. Sin is the breach that separates men from the light of God. As you confess and forsake your sins, your light will shine sevenfold brighter. A stroke is a sudden act of destruction that comes upon a people. Sin is the breach that creates an opportunity for the stroke to come.
It is sin that makes a man open and vulnerable to the attack of witches and wizards. Darkness has no power over a believer except sin creates a chance for it. However, today the Lord bind the breach of all sin in your life by His blood and heal the stroke of your wound. Every wrong that has allowed satan to have a foothold in your life is destroyed, in Jesus’ name.
When you confess your sins and receive forgiveness through His blood, then the light of the moon will become like the light of the sun and the light of the sun will become seven times as bright. Today, it is day break for you and your sun will shine seven times as bright. Song. 4:6 says, Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. It is day break for you and all shadows are fleeing away from your life. Your life will be so bright that there will be no shadow of darkness at all. When men complain of darkness, your moon will be as the light of the sun and the light of the sun will be seven fold as bright for you.

Prayer/Action
* Receive the capacity for improvement, in Jesus’ name.
* Receive a sevenfold increase of peace, joy and abundance, in the mighty name of Jesus.

More and More II

Monday 9 January
READ: Prov. 4: 18
MORE LESSON: Deut. 1: 11

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Our God is a God of more and more. God does not give once in a life time blessing; He gives more and more. No matter how many blessings you have; this year you have to get ready for more. The term ‘more and more' shows that God doesn't give momentary blessings, He gives continuous blessings. Not only does God give a continuous blessing, He gives increasing blessings. This shows that God never has a better yesterday, and for His children, there is no better last year. Every single year is more than the previous. If there was any good thing you have experienced in the past, then, expect a repeat of the blessing. Beyond an ordinary repeat of the blessing, expect a repeat with an increase.
The major miracles in the Bible were repeated. God doesn't do miracles once and never again; He does them over and over again. Jesus healed the blind many times, cleansed lepers time and time again, raised many from the dead. There is hardly any miracle in the Bible that was not repeated. This is to prove that the first happening was not an accident. If He opened the eyes of the blind once, people can say that it happened by chance. But when He does it time and time again to the extent of creating eyes out of dust for a man born without eyes, then you know that these miracles are not accidental; they are deliberate.
Probably, you were rich before and the devourer came and you came down in your finances. This is the year that you are going to be more than you ever were before. Probably you had a baby and you have not been able to conceive again after that, and it is now looking like even the one you have was by chance. The God of deliberate, repeated and more miracles give you more this year. In case you have never had any before, then the God who has done it for others will repeat it in your life. Your miracles this year are not by chance; they are the deliberate acts of God. This year in every area of your life, you will become more and more.This means that the way you started 2017 is not the way you will end it.
You may start small but your path will shine more and more till you become everything that you are meant to be. By the end of the year, your testimony will be, Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness: Psa. 65:11.

Prayer/Action
* My path in life shall not end in loss but more blessing, in the mighty name of Jesus.
* Speak multiplication of blessing and goodness of God to your life, in Jesus’ name.

2017, I shall shine more and more unto the perfect day, in the name of Jesus.

More and More I

Sunday 8 January
READ: Prov. 4: 18
MORE LESSON: Gen 1: 14 – 16

Our text reads, The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day (NLT). The King James Version says, ...the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. This shows that the desired perfect destiny of the just man is reached only by shining more and more. This means that as the greatness of the light of a man increases, the perfection of his destiny becomes evident.
Many times, the problem of believers is not the absolute absence of light but the insufficiency of light. Even in the natural, the electric light supplied to our homes could be so low in voltage that it is not good to us: it cannot power any gadget and we can't even see well with it. This situation, popularly called 'low current' in Nigeria, is sometimes even as bad as when there is no power at all. Today, you need a brightening of the light of your life. You need to shine more and more. You might be born again, Spirit filled or even a servant of God but the intensity of your light is not enough for your desired result and impact in life. The way out is to get more and more light; do not rest with the light that you carry, thinking that is all the light there is. You need more light.
Peradventure, your candle is even already going down, you need your candle to be lit all over again. The light of the sun is more than the light of the moon and so the impact of the sun is greater than the impact of the moon. This shows that the greater your light, the greater your impact. More light will definitely result in more greatness, grace, glory, health and wealth. The sun rules the day because it shines more and more. When the dawn breaks, the sun only shines a little and darkness is still seen around to a certain degree. However, as the day progresses, the sun increases in shining till it dominates the firmament. Dominion is as a result of shining more and more.
There are certain matters in life that will not bow to you at your current level of light. You might have done all you know and your marriage, finances, health or whatever area of life is not responding. This shows that you need more light in that area. Go for more light so that you can shine more. More light comes by getting more of the Word of God and more illumination from people that God has given light in that area of life. Pray to God for light and seek light from people that carry light so that in their light you can see light (Psa 36: 9).

Prayer/Action
* Ask the Lord to enrich your heart with the revelation of His Word, in Jesus’ name.
* Ask the Lord to grant you an unhindered progress in life, in the mighty name of Jesus.
