Your Prosperity is in Your Hands

    

      God wants you to prosper in every area of your life, for He delights in the prosperity of His children Psalm 35:27. In 3 John 1:2 God expresses His wish above all things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. No wonder the bible says in 2 Peter 1:3 that He has given you, “…all things that pertain unto life and godliness….” The implication of this is that in Christ Jesus you’ve come into a rich inheritance; a place of absolute prosperity.

   Indeed, when you received Christ you were automatically catapulted into a glorious realm of prosperity and become not just an heir of God but a joint heir with Christ Romans 8:17. But then the bible says in Galatians 4:1, “… the heir, as long as he is a child, differenth nothing form a servant, though he be lord of all.” In other words, though you’re a joint heir with Christ, and all of God’s wealth and inestimable riches belong to you, you have to grow in the Word unto maturity to enjoy the benefits of your inheritance.

   This is where meditating on the word and putting it to work in your life comes to play.  “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then shalt have good success” Joshua 1:8. As you meditate on the scriptures, the Word of God is seasoned in your spirit, such that you talk, walk and live the Word. Through meditation, you’re mingled with the word, as it were. The Bible shows this to us as the way to attain the prosperity God ordained for you. So not only is the Lord interested in your prosperity, He also shows you how to make your way prosperous. His admonition in Joshua 1:8 makes it clear that by meditating on the Word and observing to do what it says you make your way prosperous.

     Now this isn’t just referring to financial prosperity, but prosperity all-round-in every aspect of your life. The Apostle Paul reiterated the same truth in 1Timothy 4:15: “Meditate on these things, give yourself completely to them that your profiting may appear to all.” When you meditate on God’s Word, your progress, advancement, prosperity, and success will spread abroad and be evident for all to see. Therefore as a child of God, the extent of your success and prosperity is entirely dependent on you. To prosper in all you do-in your job, family, health, finances, marriage, etc. – get God’s Word and continually meditate on it. This is His divine road-map for true and lasting 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
