IF YOU DESIRE TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR DIVINE DESTINY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE GOD'S PRIORITY AND ORDER OF PROSPERITY IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!
Let me begin this way, a friend of mine posted on Facebook thus:
Hello, please my friends let us do this exercise with sincerity and honesty.
Which Gospel do you believe?
a)- GOSPEL of POVERTY.
b)- GOSPEL of PROSPERITY
Choose your option.
NB: Support Your Answer With A Verse From The Scriptures.
Thank you very much. Be sincere and honest.
And I responded by commenting thus:
I do not believe in anyone of them, but I only believe in the GOSPEL of CHRIST that is the POWER of GOD unto SALVATION (freedom) from ALL wickedness of Satan, including POVERTY. (Romans 1:16,17; 2 Corinthians 3:17).
And my friend responded to my comment thus;
"Hum brother Godwill noted sir. Wisdom!
This was after he has read from other Christians who commented, "GOSPEL of PROSPERITY" and so on.
Now, sincerely speaking, my aim of stating the above situation is NOT TO GLORIFY MYSELF, but to DRAW YOUR ATTENTION to something very important that I am inspired to inform you about today. True! By the grace of God I have grown in Christ above human PRAISE and HONOUR and at present in my walk and work with God in Christ, I SEEK the praise and honour that comes from God, my Father ONLY. True! (John 5:41-44).
The truth to be told, there is nothing like the GOSPEL of PROSPERITY in the Bible, but GOSPEL of CHRIST that is the POWER of GOD unto SALVATION from ALL Works and Wickedness of Satan including all forms of POVERTY in this World. The Devil as a spiritual thief in this World is the one that subtly introduced the GOSPEL of PROSPERITY into the Body of Christ to disguisedly KILL, STEAL and DESTROY the good things God has graciously and freely given to genuine Christians in Christ in this World. That is, EXCHANGING what do not really matter with what do really matters in the lives of Christians in this World and am sorry to say, many GULLIBLE and GREEDY ones in Christ are each day buying and falling into his LIES and TRAPS. So sad, so bad! (Matthew 6:24-34; John 10:1-10; Matthew 13:18-30; 1 Timothy 6:6-12; 1 John 2:15-17).
This is why Jesus Christ timely said to us thus:
For WHAT shall it PROFIT A MAN, if he shall GAIN the whole World, and LOSE his own soul? Or what shall a man GIVE in EXCHANGE for his soul? (Mar 8:36,37).
Take note, take heed!
Now, know and note that physical PROSPERITY in this World is not the idea of Satan, but God. Satan is only using physical PROSPERITY to deceptively EXCHANGE and ENTICE ignorant and foolish Christian (Christ's followers) in this World to choose lesser option to what God is offering them in Christ in this World and in the World to come. He did same with Jesus Christ as recorded in Luke 4:1-14. Take note, take heed! (Ecclesiastes 7:14; James 1:12-15).
Now, why it is true that it is God that designed physical PROSPERITY and delight in us having it in this World, it is unfortunate today to see many genuine Christians who believe and are consciously convinced that the PRIMARY purpose of Christianity is TO MAKE one physically PROSPEROUS in this World. While they are not totally wrong, they are totally MISLED on how it works by God's design and standard in Christ in this World. So sad, so bad! (Job 36:11,12; Psalm 35:27; Psalm 118:25; Psalm 30:6).
Because of the above WRONG MINDSET, I am sent today to timely and rightly inform you. Are you ready!
Yes, it is true, the Bible reveals to us thus:
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was RICH, yet for your sakes He became POOR, that you through his POVERTY might be RICH. (2 Corinthians 8:9).
Now,
1. The the POVERTY being talked about in the above scriptural verse is spiritual POVERTY of the LACK of the HOLY SPIRIT of CHRIST within each of us in this World. True!
2. The RICH being talked about in the above scriptural verse is the spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) of the Abundance of the HOLY SPIRIT of CHRIST within each of us in this World. True!
This is why Jesus Christ said to us thus:
And I say unto you, ASK, and it shall be given you; SEEK, and ye shall find; KNOCK, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly FATHER give the HOLY SPIRIT to them that ASK him? (Luke 11: 9-13).
The first and foremost thing to ASK from God daily and par time par your need and situation, should be the HOLY SPIRIT of CHRIST to come upon you in the area of your spiritual and physical needs. True! Take note, take heed!
This is because The Holy Spirit of Christ is the personality of the Godhead that carries ALL RICHES of CHRIST in this World. The HOLY SPIRIT of CHRIST is the Carrier or Supplier of the spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) of Christ within and upon each genuinely born again Christian in this World that becomes physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) of Christ in and through each believer in this World. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Galatians 3:13,14; Philippians 4:13,19).
This is why Apostle Paul said thus:
For I KNOW that this shall TURN to my salvation through your PRAYER, and the SUPPLY of the SPIRIT of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:19).
This is why the Bible counsels us thus:
See then that you WALK circumspectly, not as FOOLS, but as WISE, Redeeming the time, because the DAYS are EVIL. Wherefore be you not UNWISE, but understanding what the WILL of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the SPIRIT; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 5:15-20).
Please, follow me carefully, this is why the Bible reveals to us thus:
CHRIST has REDEEMED US from the CURSE of the LAW, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hung on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Galatians 3:13,14).
JESUS CHRIST primary aim of coming to the Earth is to make it possible for anyone that believes in Him after He had resurrected to receive His HOLY SPIRIT as the spiritual PROSPERITY (blessing or richness) of Abraham, so that he or she will be partaker of the physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) of Abraham as well. True! Take note, take heed!
The above scriptural verses is true because with the HOLY SPIRIT of CHRIST within you in this World, you have within you, spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) as God has chosen you in Christ in this World that you can prayerfully CONVERT to physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) in this World. True!
The Bible confirms this truth to us thus:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who had BLESSED US with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: According as He had CHOSEN US in Him before the foundation of the World, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of Children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein He had MADE US accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. (Ephesians 1:3-7; Romans 8:26-39).
When Jesus Christ died and resurrected, He obtained seven (7) things for us which spiritual and physical blessing and riches are part of them. The Bible reveals to us thus:
And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne. 8. And when He had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders FELL DOWN before the LAMB, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the PRAYERS of SAINTS. And they sung a new song, saying, you art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you were SLAIN, and has REDEEMED US to GOD by your BLOOD out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; And has made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN on the EARTH. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, WORTHY is the LAMB that was slain to receive POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGTH, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING. (Revelation 5:7-12).
However and sad to say, many genuine Christians have not DISCOVERED their unique and specific spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) in Christ in this World based on the measure of the HOLY SPIRIT of CHRIST that has being graciously given to them by God in Christ in this World. Therefore, they are also ignorant of their physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) in Christ in this World as well. So sad! So bad!
The Bible confirms this truth to us:
But as it is written, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have ENTERED into the HEART of MAN, the things which GOD hath PREPARED for them that LOVE Him. But God had REVEALED them unto us by His SPIRIT: for the Spirit searches ALL things, yes, the DEEP things of GOD. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, NOT the spirit of the world, but the SPIRIT which is of GOD; that we might KNOW the things that are FREELY GIVEN to us of God. (1 Corinthians 2: 9-12; Romans 8).
Apostle Paul did discovered his thus:
But when it pleased God, who SEPARATED ME from my mother's womb, and CALLED ME by his grace, TO REVEAL HIS SON IN ME, that I might preach Him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood. (Galatians 1:15,16).
You need to have a PERSONAL REVELATION of the unique and specific dimension of Christ's spiritual operations in you by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you as a genuine Child of God in the World. Therefore, don't be deceived because to know and have your physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) in Christ in this World, you must FIRST know and understand your spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) in Christ that is within you by the Holy Spirit of Christ within you in this World. True!
This is why Jesus Christ counselled us thus:
But SEEK you FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD (Presence of the Holy Spirit), and His righteousness; and ALL these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33).
Are you getting it?
And this is why Apostle John wishes us thus:
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as your SOUL prospers. (3 John 1:2).
God has designed it in Christ in this World that as anyone in Christ in this World makes daily effort to spiritually PROSPER his or her SOUL (mind, emotions and will) by aligning it to the Word, Will and Way of God in Christ for him or her daily, he or she also physically PROSPERS in HEALTH and WEALTH in line with the measure God has thought it wise to give him or her par time. True! Take note, take heed! (Joshua 1:8; Proverbs 3:3-7; Psalms 1:1-3; Psalm 9:7-14; Philippians 4:8,9; Romans 12).
This means that:
1. Your divine measure of physical WELL-BEING (HEALTH and WEALTH) in Christ par time in this World will be a product par time of your divine measure of spiritual WELL-BEING (HEALTH and WEALTH) ORDAINED by God for you in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Ephesians 2:8-10).
2. Your divine measure of physical WELL-BEING (HEALTH and WEALTH) in Christ par time in this World will be a product par time of your divine measure of spiritual WELL-BEING (HEALTH and WEALTH) OBTAINED by you in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
Please, are you still following me carefully? Please do!
Now, know and note that to CONVERT or TURN the spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) you have received or you will receive par time by the Holy Spirit of Christ that you have received or you will receive par time par your situation in this World to physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches), you will need the WISDOM of GOD and the POWER of GOD. True! Take note, take heed!
Therefore, Bible reveals to us thus:
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST the POWER of GOD, and the WISDOM of GOD. (1 Corinthians 1:23,24).
Jesus Christ is the WISDOM and POWER of God. Therefore, He is RICH in the WISDOM and POWER of God and become poor in the WISDOM and POWER of God in this World on our behalf, so that through His poverty, you and I in Him in this World will be rich in the WISDOM and POWER of God in this World. True! Halleluyah!
This is Why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:
Let the WORD of CHRIST dwell in you RICHLY in ALL WISDOM; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever you do in WORD or DEED, do all in the NAME of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him. (Colossians 3:16,17).
And this is why Apostle Paul boldly declared thus
For I am NOT ashamed of the GOSPEL of CHRIST: for it is the POWER of GOD unto SALVATION to every one that BELIEVES; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the JUST shall LIVE by FAITH. (Romans 1:16,17).
And this why Apostle Peter said thus:
Then Peter said, SILVER and GOLD have I NONE; but SUCH AS I HAVE give I you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. (Acts: 3. 6,7).
What is the implication of the above understanding for us genuine Christians today?
The implication is that in the sight of God, pursuing physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) first and above spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) is a MISPLACED PRIORITY and ORDER in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take note!
If I may ask you, how RICH are you spiritually in Christ in this World? That is how you are RICH physically in Christ in this World today. True! Carefully check yourself, you will see this is true. Take note, take heed!
Now, the truth to be told, we who are genuine in Christ in this World must know and understand that we are to FIRST and FOREMOST passionately and persistently seek spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) by being filled with the Holy Spirit of Christ par time before we seek physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) in Christ in this World by the revelation and leading of the Holy Spirit of Christ par time. This MUST NOT to be compromised by any genuine Christians in Christ in this World. First thing, first! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8:14,26-39).
This is why Jesus Christ said to us to SEEK FIRST the Kingdom of God (the Presence of the Holy Spirit) and all these things will be ADDED unto us. True! Take note, take heed! (Matthew 6:24-344).
This is why the Psalmist said the WORD of GOD should be desired than GOLD (money or material things of this World) and sweeter than HONEY (pleasures of this World) to us thus:
The LAW of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the TESTIMONY of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The STATUTES of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the COMMANDMENT of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The FEAR of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the JUDGEMENTS of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be DESIRED are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold: SWEETER also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is your servant WARNED: and in KEEPING of them there is GREAT REWARD. Who can understand His errors? CLEANSE you me from secret faults. KEEP BACK your servant also from presumptuous sins; LET THEM NOT have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the WORDS OF MY MOUTH, and the MEDITATION OF MY HEART, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:7-14).
This why Jesus Christ said we CANNOT serve God and money at the same time and we should FIRST SEEK the Kingdom of God (Presence of the Holy of Christ) thus:
Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or, What shall we drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father KNOWS that you have NEED of ALL these things. But SEEK you FIRST the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and ALL these things shall be ADDED unto you. Take therefore NO THOUGHT for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 6:31-34; 1 Peter 5:6-10).
This is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:
But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is great gain. For we BROUGHT nothing into this World, and it is certain we can CARRY nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be RICH FALL into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the LOVE OF MONEY is the ROOT OF ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED AFTER, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, FLEE these things; and FOLLOW after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. FIGHT the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:6-12).
Now, apart from FORNICATION, which the Bible commanded us to FLEE from, the Bible also commanded us to FLEE from the LUST and LOVE of MONEY, MANNERS and MATERIALS THINGS of this World. This is because if the Devil succeeds in deceiving you to SEEK FIRST, physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches), then he has got your SOUL ensnared or entrapped, while unknowing to you enslaving your SOUL to hell. True! Take note, take heed!(1 Corinthians 6:17-20; 2 Timothy 2:15, 20-22; 1 John 2:15-17).
That is why Jesus Christ said thus:
For what shall it PROFIT A MAN, if he shall GAIN the whole World, and LOSE HIS OWN SOUL? Or what shall a man give in EXCHANGE for his soul? (Mark 8.:36,37).
Always remember that where your precious and priceless SOUL spends ETERNITY (in Heaven or Hell) is at stake each day of your existence in this World. GOD loves and wants your SOUL in HEAVEN by all means possible in Christ in this World. Likewise, SATAN hates and wants your SOUL in HELL by all means possible in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Therefore, be WATCHFUL and PRAYERFUL, so that you do not FALL into the snares and traps of the Devil lifting your SOUL unto VANITY (lust and love for money, manners and material things of this World) ABOVE your FOLLOWING after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness and FIGHTING the good fight of faith and LAYING hold on eternal life. Never please! This is because living in this World is short and a shadow compare to ETERNITY (in Heaven or Hell), where your SOUL will live forever. (Psalm 24; Ecclesiastes 1:1-4; Ecclesiastes 12:13,14; Ephesians 5:15-18; Matthew 26:40,41).
In conclusion, don't be deceived by those who believe that the spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) of your SOUL with the WISDOM and POWER of GOD by thinking, speaking and living by the Word of God DOES NOT bring, attract or produce divinely ordained physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) as well. That is not scriptural and not consistent with the Bible! True! (Colossians 3:16,17; James 1:2-8).
The Bible reveals to us thus:
This book of the LAW shall NOT depart out of your MOUTH; but you shall MEDITATE therein day and night, that you may OBSERVE TO DO according to ALL that is written therein: for then YOU shall MAKE your way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU shall have GOOD SUCCESS. (Joshua 1:8).
Also,
BLESSED is the man that WALKS NOT IN the counsel of the ungodly, nor STANDS IN the way of sinners, nor SITS IN the seat of the scornful. But his DELIGHT is in the LAW of the LORD; and in His law does he MEDITATE day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and WHATSOEVER he does shall PROSPER. (Psalm 1: 1-3; James 1:22-25).
Also,
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may PROSPER (be in WEALTH) and be in HEALTH, even as your SOUL prospers (spiritually). (3 John 1:2).
You can see the CONSISTENCY of God's priority and order of spiritual PROSPERITY first, then physical PROSPERITY follows in the Scriptural references above. Whenever and wherever you see or hear the REVERSE, then it is Satan at work in that person, place or practice. True! Take note, take heed!
Now, know and note that GOD cannot LIE and He is not UNFAITHFUL like men. He knows you need physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) to meet your own needs, other people's needs and to fulfill your DESTINY in Christ here in this World and will not see you sacrificially labouring to be spiritually PROSPEROUS in Christ in this World and will not make sure, you are also physically PROSPEROUS too. True! That is not my God and Father in Heaven. I know Him to LOVE and CARE for both my SPIRITUAL and PHYSICAL NEEDS par time par my situation. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Peter 5:6-10; Hebrews 4:16).
GOD is the one that reveals to us thus:
1. The RICH rules over the POOR, and the BORROWER is servant to the LENDER. (Proverbs 22:7).
2. A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry: but MONEY answers ALL things. (Ecclesiastes 10:19).
3. For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and MONEY is a DEFENCE: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM gives LIFE to them that have it. (Ecclesiastes 7:12).
4. Cry yet, saying, thus said the LORD of hosts; My cities through PROSPERITY shall yet be SPREAD abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. (Zechariah 1:17).
5. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to SUPPORT the WEAK, and to remember the Words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE. (Acts 20:35; Galatians 6:7-10).
6. HUMBLE yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time: CASTING ALL your CARE upon Him; for he CARES for you. (1 Peter 5: 6,7; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).
7. Let us therefore COME BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain MERCY L, and find GRACE to HELP in TIME of NEED. (Hebrews 4:16).
8. I CAL DO ALL THINGS through Christ which strengthens me. But my GOD shall SUPPLY ALL your NEED according to HIS RICHES IN GLORY by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:13;19; Philippians 1:19).
9. And GOD is ABLE to make ALL GRACE abound toward you; that you, ALWAYS having all SUFFICIENCY in ALL things, may abound to every good work. (2 Corinthians 9: 8; Ephesians 3:20).
10. And so on... (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Therefore, is NOT TRUTH that God is only interested in your spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) and not your physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) as well. That is a LIE from the Devil himself to DECEIVE and DIVERT the attention of those who have chosen to believe his LIES from God and His written Word in the Bible to himself (Devil) for worship on Earth and fellowship in Hell someday. So sad, so bad!
Even JESUS CHRIST, who is our ultimate role model for living a victorous, successful and satisfactory life for God in this World, never at any time LACK any spiritual or physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) He needed to meet His spiritual or physical NEEDS par time in this World. This is because He enjoyed both FAVOUR with God and Man and the Bible in 1 John 4:17 informs us that as He is, so are we in this World. Hallelujah! I refused to SETTLE for LESS and I encourage you not to as well. Hallelujah! (Luke 2:52; John 17:1-5).
However, many times, lots of genuine Christians DO NOT enter and enjoy their physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) in Christ in this World that God has ordained for them in Christ in this World because many of them MIND and HEART are not RIGHT in the sight and side of God in Heaven. They THINK, SPEAK and LIVE just like the people of the World, although they are genuinely born again in Christ in World True! Take note, take heed! (Matthew 13:18-23).
Therefore, the Bible reveals to us thus:
From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? COME they not hence, even of your LUSTS that war in your members? You LUST, and have not: you kill, and DESIRE to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: you fight and war, yet you have not, because you ask not. You ASK, and RECEIVE NOT, because YOU ASK AMISS, that you may CONSUME IT upon your LUSTS. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? (James 4:1-5; James 1:12-15; 1 John 2:15-17).
Is the above scriptural revelation with many of us today? It is time for us to REPENT (change or renew our minds) says the Spirit of God and RETURN (starts seeking) to FOLLOW after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness and FIGHTING the good fight of faith and LAYING hold on eternal life far above the lust and love of money, manners and materials things of this World. True! Take note, take heed! (Romans 12:1,2; Isaiah 55).
One more reason you should SEEK your spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) in Christ in this World FIRST, so that God will give you its commensurate physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) in Christ for you is thus:
The BLESSING of the LORD, it makes RICH, and he ADDS no sorrow with it. (Proverbs 10:22).
The ways to spiritual or physical PROSPERITY of the World has lots of short and long terms SORROW hidden in them. More dangerous, spending ETERNITY with SORROW in Hell True! Take note, take heed!
I heard the Spirit of God saying to me at this moment that the spiritual STATUS (position) and STATE (condition) of heads and leaders in homes, Churches, organisations and nations SETS the STAGE par time of the physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) of their various places of headship and leadership based on their personal spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) par time with God in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Therefore, if I may ask you at this moment, is your home, Church, organisation and nation having GOOD STANDING and GOOD REPORT with God, the Designer, Creator and Owner of the Heaven and Earth and ALL that are in them including you? Think about it and do something about as well because there is no need to deceive yourself or shortchanged yourself any longer in Christ in this World. It now all depends on you to get yourself and help your head or leader gets it right with God, so that both the spiritual PROSPERITY and physical PROSPERITY meant for your home, church, organisation and nation par time is not delay or denied by God any longer. True! Take note, take heed! (Psalm 24; Psalm 115; Hebrews 11).
That is why the Bible reveals to us thus:
When the RIGHTEOUS are in AUTHORITY, the people REJOICE: but when the WICKED bears RULE, the people MOURN. (Proverbs 29:2).
Also,
RIGHTEOUSNESS exalts a nation: but SIN is a reproach to any people. (Proverbs 14:34).
Do you get it?
That is also truth for individual, family and organisations, etc. True! Take note, take heed!
Spiritual PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) amongst others comes in forms of spiritual revelations, inspiration, instructions, enlightenment, encounter, impartation, gifts, vision, calling, idea, help, tutorship, leadership, etc you will prayerfully and praisefully RECEIVE, thoughtfully LEARN, wisely HEAR or insightfully SEE par time and need to passionately and persistently THINK on, SPEAK forth and DO (carry out) par time in faith to CONVERT it to physical PROSPERITY (blessings or riches) for you and others in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Job 32:8; Ephesians 1:15-23; Romans 11:29; Philippians 3:13,14; Romans 8:14-26-28; 1 John 2:27; Joshua 1:8; Philippians 4:8,9; James 1:22-25; Matthew 6:9,10; Colossians 3:1-4).
God bless you.
