3 John 1:2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth..”
DAILY READING – -Acts 18; Judges 9; Job 38
Billionaire David Green, is today the largest evangelical benefactor in the world. However he started out in life working as a stock boy at McClellan’s general store,. There he spent most of his time sweeping floors and unloading boxes for 60 cents an hour. His father was a small-time preacher and his family had subsisted on hand-me-down clothes and food donations from the congregation, sometimes going weeks without having meat to put on the table. However one thing Green learnt from his parents was the secret of sowing towards the Gospel. From a very meagre income he began sowing towards the spread of the Gospel. As a result God began to bless him. Overtime he was able to turn a small business he began into a multimillion venture. And today, God has expanded him to become one of the richest men in America. Yet despite his great wealth , Green remains focused on always seeking God first. His strong foundation in God’s Word, has kept him from being swayed from following Christ.
Indeed when we seek God first all else shall be added unto us..The glory coning upon the Church will be manifestated through a massive wealth transfer. Wealth will be falling like manna upon many believers. But we must be first prepared spiritually so as not to be swayed .If a man has not built his life on a strong foundation of God’s Word, he can become spiritually weak and easily fall if temptations come..
Proverbs 1:32 says ‘For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.’
The prosperity of fools destroys them because they have no inner strength to withstand and overcome temptations. In God’s agenda we must first be spiritually established, so that what was meant to aid us does not end us, and what was meant to help us does not harm us.
When inwardly your soul has prospered through feeding on God’s Word, then outwardly you will prosper in wealth and health.
3 John 1:2 says “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth..”
Therefore, in this season as we prepare for the coming glory, let us invest in diligent study of scriptures, so as to be strengthened with might in our inner man.
Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
It is instruction that leads out of destruction. when we dig deep and build our house upon the rock of God’s Word, we will stand strong, able to carry the weight of glory God places on us..
It is preparation that leads to manifestaion, let us therefore be adequately prepared spiritually so as not miss our own portion of the coming glory..
PRAYER: Lord please help me to build my life upon the solid foundation of Your Word. I know that when I seek Your kingdom first, then every other thing, including health and wealth shall be added unto me in Jesus Name. .
