Prosperity

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: PROSPERITY

Prosperity means having the ability to fulfil God’s destiny for your life and to bless others in God’s plan for them

That is what biblical prosperity is all about. In a sense the widow provided for Elijah, but really it was Elijah who provided for the widow! Biblical prosperity is having more than enough for your own needs so that you can supply the needs of others. Malachi chapter 3 promises you abundant blessing when you are faithful in giving – both in your tithes and your offerings.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and try me now in this,” says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10 The plain fact about God’s provision is, the more you give, the more you receive! I am not suggesting that you should give with the selfish motive of gaining more yourself. But when you do give you receive back more and this means that you have even more to give next time. This is the principle of sowing and reaping.

What farmer sows seeds it is in order to reap a harvest! In 2 Corinthians, Paul writes that giving is like sowing, and when you sow you should expect a harvest of righteousness. This is not just the righteousness of doing the right thing, but it means taking care of the needs of others and providing for God’s work.

Notice it is the sowing of your finances that brings you both a financial harvest and the further harvest of righteousness that comes from blessing others out of God’s abundant provision for you.

As you read these verses from 2 Corinthians, notice the words that I have underlined:

But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.” Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. (2 Corinthians 9:6-11)

These principles will help you flow in God’s provision. Follow them as a lifestyle, and God will release his supernatural provision to you.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name You will never lack. The God of Elijah is with you and he is faithful
