  • PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (7): THANKING

    PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (7): THANKING

    5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.Psalms 67:5-6 (KJV)

    Thanking is the seventh unshakeable strategy for unlimited prosperity. Giving glory to God is your final step into the realm of unlimited prosperity. In Isaiah 51:1-2, God said, “look at Abraham. Watch and follow in his footsteps, then I will convert your wilderness into a garden of Eden.” Still talking about Abraham, Romans 4:18-20 says that Abraham was strong in faith, giving glory to God. It was his giving of glory that opened him up for his miracle. Nothing had happened, but he kept on giving glory to God, he considered not the deadness of his situation. Friend, you’re either thanking and giving glory to God or you are murmuring against Him. And the cheapest way out of murmuring is to be thankful. There’s no way you will not murmur if you’re not thankful. Abraham did not stagger at the promise of God. He was strong in faith, giving glory to God. He was thankful to God even before he saw what he was believing God for. He was able to do so by refusing to consider any contrary thing other than God who is faithful. To be thankful is to be fruitful, and to be thankless is to be fruitless! Until you become thankful, you don’t become fruitful. You don’t praise after the increase has come, but before; it is the praise that provokes the increase. Abraham gave glory to God and then God responded.

    Every time you sit in the corner of your room wondering if God is still there, wondering if His Word can still be relied upon, wondering whether He is Who He says He is, or whether the preachers are just playing smart on you, you remain on the same spot. Everytime you’re cast down, you can’t go up. Those who look up to the sun don’t see the shadows. My help is alive, my help is alert! Awake thou that sleepeth! All these stylish murmurings, grumblings, and grudgings are the reason your life is not shining. You are never fruitful until you’re thankful. You don’t give thanks after the fruits, because you don’t see fruits without thanks. Thanking comes before the fruits and continues after it. Until you give thanks, nothing multiplies. Jesus gave thanks over the five loaves and two fishes, and they multiplied and fed 5,000 people, with twelve baskets left over! There was no multiplication until Jesus gave thanks. You have complained enough about that business of yours, give Him thanks!

    In 1 Corinthians 3:6, ‘I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.’ I regard giving, working, thinking, trusting and waiting as seed planting, while I consider talking and thanking as watering. Paul planted, Apollos watered. So we do both the planting and the watering first; then, and only then can God give the increase. Until we have planted and watered, God is not committed to bring increases our way. When you put a mirror before your mouth, and you speak or sing, what do you see? Moisture on the mirror. So when we’re talking or singing, we produce moisture, a form of watering. So many have planted, but very few have successfully watered, so there’s no increase. Talking and thanking is the watering dimension in the school of prosperity.

    REMEMBER: Until you thank God, you never see any fruit.

    CONFESSION: Lord Jesus, you have done me well. You have been so good to me. Thank you for your blessing on my life and family. I am forever grateful. Hallelujah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive the garment of praise and the oil of gladness now to fuel your thanksgiving and praise in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (6): TALKING

    Wednesday August 19, 2020

    PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (6): TALKING

    For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

    Mark 11:23 (KJV)

    “He shall have whatsoever He says”. Whatever you are not able to say, you have not believed. In the world of the spirit, your mouth is what gives expression to your choice. That is, “whatsoever he doeth not withstanding, he shall have only whatsoever he saith.” So God sees what you say as the conclusion to your expectation. Your mouth is a key factor into the realm of prosperity. You remember when the children of Israel were about to enter the land flowing with milk and honey and they said, “We be not able” (Numbers 13:31), and God said to them: Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: (Numbers 14:28). You can’t enter into the land flowing with milk and honey by talking poverty. No matter your level of commitment to labour, the quality of your giving, your thinking, your trusting and your waiting, if you miss it at the talking stage, you wipe off everything. James said concerning the tongue: Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. (James 3:5-6) Do you know that your mouth can burn off in one day everything you’ve spent your whole life to heap up? You must talk prosperity everywhere, both in your privacy and in the public. Prosperity only answers to those who talk it. You make your way prosperous by giving (which is what provokes divine blessings), by working (provides the channel for the blessings to flow back to you), by thinking (enhances greater results), by trusting (without which your results will not be delivered into your hands), by waiting (because you need patience to bring forth fruits), and then prosperity comes into your house by talking.

    Beloved, talk prosperity! Until you talk it, you can’t take it. Until you talk it, you really don’t believe it. And until you believe it, it cannot be performed in your life (Luke. 1:45). Prosperity is produced on the ticket of faith, and faith is given expression through your mouth. ‘For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.’ (Romans 10:10) Many give, many work, many are thinkers, but very few are talking, particularly when they’re among sinners. They are not talking probably because that light is not in them yet. The reason you can’t say it with your mouth is because it’s not in your heart yet. If it’s in your heart, your mouth can’t keep it, for “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” This is crucial because Proverbs 12:14 says, ‘A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompense of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.’ That means what you do and what you talk weigh the same. Do you want to see good things like prosperity in your life? It will come by the fruit of your lips. What you say determines the good you will experience. ‘A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth…’ (Proverbs 13:2)

    Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). So your mouth is the trigger for the blessings you’re looking for. Until you talk it, you can’t take it, this is one major lesson in the school of prosperity. Let me quickly say that when you’re not doing it but are talking it, it’s an empty talk. But when you’re on course, and you’re giving it expression with your mouth, you’re ready for your manifestation. Those who talk what they shouldn’t talk will eat violence, they will never cease from having troubles. Note that whether you speak it to someone or to yourself, it weighs the same. Just as the prodigal son talked himself back home, many people talk themselves away from home.

    REMEMBER: It is to you according to what you say.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for your word to me today. I receive the grace to always speak your word and the things I desire in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Your mouth shall no longer be your ruin from this day. I decree the frustration of satanic agenda against you and yours now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (4): TRUSTING

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (4): TRUSTING

    O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

    Psalms 34:8 (KJV)

    Kingdom prosperity is a result of the blessing. We are going to see today how trusting connects us to the blessing. Quite a number believe God, but very few trust Him. What enhances a successful, cheerful and relaxed giving life is trusting. It makes for profitable giving. Those who trust Him are totally dependent on Him and on no one else. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is (Jeremiah 17:7). Trusting is the highway to continuous triumph. In Matthew 6:31, God said: Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? The only way not to take thought for your life is to trust; and that’s your highway to the realm of kingdom prosperity. There are so many people who are giving in worship, but who have never enjoyed the blessings of God. Why? They are not dependent on God for their needs, so they keep suffering. They depend on their pay packets, and on their big brothers. ‘Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.’ (Jeremiah 17:5) Friend, you need to come into that realm of trusting, it is the realm of continuous triumph. If you want to enjoy true prosperity, you have to enjoy the mystery of trusting Him.

    One of the things that easily commands people’s trust is money. Many people’s souls are tied to and anchored on their money. God does not bring multiplication the way of such people, because it will lead to their destruction. The moment your trust is in money, God withdraws it to a level where you will keep believing God for every meal. ‘He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. (Proverbs 11:28) When money is what determines your countenance, it shows that that’s where your trust is. Paul told Timothy: Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (1 Timothy 6:17). That money in your bank account or in your pocket is not what holds your tomorrow. Money is crazy, there’s nothing in it. So, to now go to the terrible extent of borrowing is making God feel unworthy of handling your life. The only way to show that you don’t trust in money is to give it out. You trust it, that’s why you can’t give it. When you trust God, friend, He gives you all things richly to enjoy. And as you keep on demonstrating your trust in Him, He keeps on blessing you with His favours, night and day.

    There is a difference between faith and trust. Faith is confidence, trust is commitment. Faith breeds confidence, while trust breeds commitment; and they are two different levels of life. Faith can fail, but trust cannot fail! Remember what Jesus said to Peter? ‘But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.’ (Luke 22:32) Confidence can be cast away: ‘Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.’ (Hebrews 10:35) Confidence can be cast away, depending on the weight of the conflict. But trust can never be removed (Psalms 125:1). Faith believes that God can do it, but trust says, “even if He doesn’t do it, my position remains the same.” Trust says: “If I perish, I perish!” Until you get to the realm of trusting, you never see true triumph in life. I don’t trust anyone, including myself. You know why? Anything and anyone can fail, but whatever you place in His hand is secured.

    REMEMBER: You can never see true prosperity until your trust in God is established.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I ask for the grace to trust You in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I welcome you to the realm of unmovable prosperity by trusting the Lord completely in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
