Prosperity Means More in The New life

    

   Prosperity isn’t the multiplication of your finances or other material things; prosperity is ability. The reason most people often equate prosperity with material things is that material possessions are often the most common indication of prosperity.  “…As poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things” 2 Corinthians 6:10. You can be working for someone and be the reason your employer is prospering or even be more prosperous than your employers.

  Jacob made Laban to prosper while he worked for him. Laban acknowledged this much when he said, “… for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake” Genesis 30:27. Joseph also made Potiphar to prosper: “And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the flied”Genesis 39:5. So, prosperity is not just the multiplicity of your material possessions’, but the ability to glorify God in all and any situation and help others fulfill God’s purpose for their lives.

    This ability, working in the lives of Jacob and Joseph, was what made all the difference such that, even though they operated from the humble position of servants, they made their masters rich. It follows, therefore, that if their masters become rich in terms of material possessions, because of them, then, certainly, they had something in them that could make anyone rich-the ability of God. This ability working in them is prosperity and it’s unquestionably greater than material things.

   The Apostle Paul alludes to this supernatural ability to make others rich when he said, “…as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things” 2 Corinthians 6:10. This ability to make others rich is the Spirit of dominion at work in a man’s life. If you have this Spirit working in you, there’re no riches in this world that can compare to what you have, for the world and all of its riches are under your feet! No wonder, 1 John 4:4 says “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” What this means is that you’re greater than the world, therefore live to please God, and fulfill His perfect will for your life; that indeed is the meaning of prosperity.

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
