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.

How to follow Jesus

                  Following Jesus is not going to church always, it is not praying always, it is not reading the bible always etc. although, all these activities are good but they do not make one a follower of Christ Jesus. Matthew 19:16-21, the rich young ruler was perfect in all of them yet something was missing which was the most important one. In the book of John 3:1 Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jew, was disqualified in spite of his knowledge of the law.              What is following Jesus? So, what is following Jesus? Following Jesus Christ is living by the word of God. Luke 4:4 and Jesus answered him saying man shall not live by bread alone, by every word of God. This is living your life according to the direction of the Word of God. It is abiding in the word of God or Jesus. John 15:4-5.     Steps to follow  ·          You must believe in Jesus Christ, John 3:16   ·          You must be born again John 3:3 ·          You must have faith in God. Heb 11:1-6 ·

Salvation is for the Living

     Some people have asked if Christians could intercede on behalf of a person who died without receiving Christ, so such a person could go to heaven instead of hell. The answer is No. “For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth” Isaiah 38:18-19. Anyone who didn’t receive Christ while on earth stands condemned. In John 3:18, Jesus said, “… but he that believeth not is condemned already….”   So, the one who dies without knowing Christ, died in condemnation, and it would be of no use praying for such a one to go to heaven because the choice of whether to make heaven or not is personal one.   It’s important to realize that the salvation message is for the living and not the dead. You can only receive Christ as Lord and Saviour in response to the Gospel while you’re still in the earth. Jesus

Keys to Effectual Prayers

  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him. Lord, teach us to pray… (Lake 11:1)   When you study the lives of the early prophets and the apostles, even the Lord Jesus Christ, you’d find they were very effective in their prayer lives. In our opening verse, disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray because they observed His prayers' effectiveness. So, it’s not just enough to pray; it’s the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man that produces results.   There’re scriptural rules and guidelines for effectual prayers. There are some things you have to pray about continually, you intercede continually; and there’re things that you pray for only once because if you keep praying about them, you’re getting into unbelief, rather than applying faith.    Meanwhile, there’re things you’re not even supposed to pray for, because no matter how long you pray about them, God is not going to respond becaus
