2 Chronicles 26:5 ‘And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God, and as long as he sought The Lord, God made him to prosper.’
- DAILY READING Galatians 6; Ezekiel 2-3; Psalm 149
- J. L Kraft is the founder of the Kraft Cheese Company, which became the largest cheese concern in the world. He built his great company by prayer, he never made a decision without going to his knees. However, years ago as a young man, when J. L. Kraft began a small cheese business in Chicago, he failed. He was deeply in debt. A Christian friend then told him that why he failed was because he didn’t take God into his business. Then J.L Kraft thought to himself, “If God wants to run the cheese business, He can do it, and I’ll work for Him and with Him!” From that moment, God became the senior partner in his business. Being raised in a faithful Christian family Kraft realized that he needed to reorganize his priorities. He needed to “seek first the kingdom of God” (Matthew 6:33) and then all that he needed would be provided. So he decided to give a large percentage of his personal profits to the Lord in his offerings. Things turned around in a very big way for James Kraft. As a result, the business grew and prospered and soon became the largest cheese concern in the world! And he gave 25% and more of his own personal profits to the church for the rest of his life. Later in life he made this statement: “The only investment I ever made which has paid consistently increasing dividends is the money I have given to the Lord.”
2 Chronicles 26:5 says ‘And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God, and as long as he sought The Lord, God made him to prosper.’
Indeed it is God that makes the difference in a man’s journey. When God partners with us, He strengthens us for the race. By strength shall no man prevail. It is only by grace that the race is made great. To excel in this remaining months of the year, we must consciously engage God in our endeavors. As we do, the difference will be very clear. God’s Presence is our most valuable asset in our journey. It is God that imparts to us the wisdom to succeed.. And God’s wisdom is not common sense, it’s “heaven sense.” Because whatever is from above is above all.
Today, by the shed blood of Jesus we have been ushered into a new and living way, where success is guaranteed. As we enter this new month we must understand that it is a new season where we will be winning through engaging God in our affairs. A new season with God is when He prepares to launch us to a new level. In this new month therefore, we are about to be launched into a new level of supernatural favor. In this season, the blood of Jesus will be speaking better things for us. The blood will empower, strengthen and deliver God’s goodness to us. No matter what has happened in the past, God is about to usher you into a place of ease and peace. Inexplicable blessings will be coming your way. Favors you may not understand will locate you. Indeed the door has opened before you, to step into a new realm of strange favors. Grace will be released for speedy accomplishments. In your family, health, finances and all areas, you are rising to a greater level. Welcome indeed to your new season.
PRAYER: Lord, by reason of the blood of Jesus my strength is renewed today to scale greater heights in the remaining part of this year. Thank You Lord, for this new season of ease and peace, in Jesus Name.
