RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FRIDAY, 22ND FEBRUARY.
ENDLESS PROSPERITY BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed (Genesis 12:2-3).
From the Bible, we see that even at old age, Abraham was very rich, because God blessed Him in all things. He was rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold (Genesis 13:2). The word translated, βcattleβ is actually βlivestockβ; he had herds of cattle, sheep, goats, etc.
Then in Genesis 24:1, we yet read something beautiful about Abraham; it says, βAnd Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.β Abrahamβs life progressed from glory to glory; no downtimes. This is Godβs plan for your life; upward and forward only. He doesnβt want a situation where, somewhere along the course of your life, youβll be regarded as one who used to be rich; Heβs ordained your prosperity to be for eternity.
Youβre Godβs just and righteous one, and the Bible says, ββ¦the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect dayβ (Proverbs 4:18). Thatβs the story and progression of the life of the one in Christ.
Thus, just because youβre retired doesnβt mean you should go broke; the Bible says, βSo then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abrahamβ (Galatians 3:9). Youβre blessed with faithful Abraham, and of the increase of your wealth and prosperity, there shall be no end! Blessed be God!
CONFESSION
Iβm an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ; the world belongs to me. Iβm the seed of Abraham; therefore, Iβm blessed with faithful Abraham; Iβm blessed with the dew of heaven, with the fatness of the earth, and with plenty of corn and wine. My prosperity is endless.
FURTHER STUDY:
Genesis 26:12-14 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. 13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
