GOD'S WILL FOR HUMANS IS PROSPERITY

-
2 PETER 3:1

"For His (God's) divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue)."

Dear people of God, the knowledge, correct application through meditation, belief and confession of God's Word in the Holy Bible is the key to every blessing we desire in life.

Today's lead text tells us God has bestowed upon us all that is required for life and godliness. Since God's Word is true, it means every true child of God has this life and godliness bestowed upon him or her.

So, why are most Christians still struggling and begging God to bless them when He has already done so?

It is because of ignorance the second part of today's lead Bible text - you see when you have the full personal knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue), then you understand that that knowledge would make God honour His Word in your life when you believe and confess it against all odds.

So, reading and meditating on God's Word is important. Believing God's Word and confession is much more important to get you the blessings God has already bestowed upon you.

It is therefore thanksgiving to God for the knowledge of His Word and prayerful worship of God that Christians should focus on activating God's blessings upon them.

Dear friend, God's will for us is prosperity in every area of our lives - 3 John 1:2. Stop looking for prosperity in the wrong places. Look sincerely to know everything about God and you will prosper.

How do I know this? It is because Jesus Christ, my Lord, the Word of God and Righteous Son of God has said so in Matthew 6:33, and I know His Word is forever settled in heaven - Psalm 119:89.

Make a decision today and now, to trust sincerely and live in strict obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ and you shall surely prosper.

May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus' Most Powerful Name, Amen.

Gabriel Ama.

ARE YOU A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?

Romans 14:12-13 (AMPC)   “ And so each of us shall give an account of himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God.   13 Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavour never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.”   Dear people of God, a few years ago, we were asked to share invitation flyers to the public in an area where one of our local church parishes was to open newly.   I recall giving one of the flyers to a lady who asked me the name of the church and when I mentioned it, she said “God forbid.” When I asked why she rejected the flyer, she did not respond.   Obviously, some member of the church she knows must have caused her offence and this stirred up hatred in her for the church.   Recently, a friend told me how in his church the pastor made a commitment towards a church project but never fulfilled it.   It ha...

HOW DO YOU CONTROL VIOLENCE IN PEOPLE?

Hebrews 12:14 (AMPC)  “ Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration  and holiness without which no one will [ever] see the Lord.”   Dear people of God, I read sometime in December 2019 ago of a police inspector in Nigeria who shot and killed his colleague, a corporal, and the same shot injured another colleague, a deputy Superintendent of police after which the police inspector took his own life.   What could have led to such violence?   I also read of another unfortunate story of a lady killed December 25, 2019, Christmas Day, by her husband who had beaten her to a coma and then ran away after discovering what he had done. The police have since found and arrested him.   Reports have it that the man was fond of beating his late wife at the slightest provocation, which has eventually led to her death in this latest incident.   Again, what could have caused this incessant violence?   Medical experts claim that humans have 2 s...

GOD CANNOT VIOLATE HIS WORD

  Psalm 89:34  “My covenant I will not violate, nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.” Dear people of God, today’s lead Bible text in Psalm 89:34 is a profound statement by God Almighty and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. What this statement from God means is that there is nothing He has said in His Word that He will fail to perform. A sensible Christian who understands this will look for what God has said by careful, meditative study of God’s Word found only in the Holy Bible, thank God joyously for it, claim it and God will surely perform what His Word has stated. I make bold to say here that the Christian who does not study the Word of God in the Holy Bible to claim the promises therein is only cheating himself of herself. Jesus Christ in one of His divine visits to late Pastor Kenneth E. Hagin (while alive on earth) told him that there are many Christians who are sincere and living right but they do not get what they ask for in pra...
