THE HAND OF PROSPERITY “Thus saith the Lord, they Redeemer, the Holy one of Israel, I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by way that thou shouldest go. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! Then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea; they seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me” (Isaiah 48:17-19). You can only access God’s blessings through His leading and instructions, and when you are committed to obeying and carrying out His commandments and keeping His covenant, he has no choice but to bless you beyond your imagination. We walk by common sense, we drive by principles, but we fly by instructions. So the trainers of aeroplane operations are called instructors. They instruct you on what to do, your opinion is irrelevant, so you must obey their instructions so that you don’t crash land and kill yourself. But you know, this generation hates instructions. They don’t want to follow instruction, they want to do their things in their own way, because they hate instructions except they are forced to follow instructions. But people can only fly by instructions. “Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted that are far from righteousness” (Isaiah 46:12). The only way you can access God’s prosperity is to obey his instructions. “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, my counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it” (Isaiah 46:10-11). God is saying here, that if you will obey Him and execute His instructions, if you will follow His leading, you will be very prosperous. Because he will teach you how to make profit. “Thus said the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy one of Israel. I am the Lord, thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea” (Isaiah 48:17-18). “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts” (Haggai 2:8-9). God is the owner of the silver, gold, money and true prosperity. So He is the only one that give true riches, wealth and prosperity. “If thou art pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of they righteousness prosperous. Though thy beginning was small, yet thy later end should greatly increase” (Job 8:6-7). It is not the purpose of God that you prosper and the prosperity end with you. No! God’s purpose for your life is that you prosper and that your prosperity should extend to your children or offspring if they continue to obey the commandments of God and follow His instructions to the end. “If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasures. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword and they shall die without knowledge” (Job 36:11-12). Prosperity is a kingdom heritage and kingdom heritage is the right of every true believer who are addicted to obeying the commandments of God and following every instruction of God as he gives the leading. “If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasures” (Job 36:11). This is what I called all round prosperity. Please note: days and years in the above scriptures. God is saying, you will enjoy prosperity everyday and also year to year, you will enjoy and have pleasures everyday and every year. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul propereth” (3 John 2). God is telling you that you will not only spend your days and years in prosperity and pleasures, but also in divine health. Because he knows that wealth without good health is poverty. “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He sware unto they fathers, as it is this day” (Deuteronomy 8:18). It takes the man who have understanding to obey the voice of the Lord, because from Him comes true leading or directions that lead to kingdom prosperity. Why? Because God is the custodian of true riches and prosperity. “Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing” (Psalm 92:13-14). God is awesome and He sticks to His covenant, He is a covenant keeping God. If you keep your own side of the covenant, He is ever ready to do His part. “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease” (Genesis 8:22). Right from creation after God had created day and night, summer and winter, cold and heat, sowing and harvest remain till today. So if you keep His covenant His blessings will remain on you and upon your children. “And God blessed Noah and his sons and said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth” (Genesis 9:1). What are the covenants? Obey and hearken unto the voice of God. “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth” (Deuteronomy 28:1) Before you can access all of God’s prosperity you must obey Him in totality and to do all His commandments. For example: 1. You must pay your tithe. The one tenth of your income belongs to God, so pay your tithe. 2. Give offering: You must willingly and cheerfully offer unto God a good savour smelling offering which must be offer with respect and in reverence to God. 3. Give sacrificially for the work of God. God gave His only begotten son to save you, therefore you must also give the best to suppor the work of God. 4. Be committed to soul winning: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Soul winning is the heartbeat of God, so when you are engaged in soul winning activities, it means you are drawing His hand near you and upon every good thing you lay your hand upon and your prosperity becomes inevible. 5. You must live holy: “Thou hast loved righteousness; and hated iniquity, therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy fellows” (Heb. 1:9) “But as the which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15) 6. Live in peace with all men “Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the LORD” (Heb. 12:14). 7. Be diligent and hardworking; Prov 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. You must be hardworking and be diligent in the work of your hands ( business, career, ministry and in every good thing you commit your hand to do) Deut 28:8 All these covenants and scriptures points to the fact, that you must obey and carry out all the instructions you are commanded to do and God will keep on blessing and promoting you in every area of your life until you become very prosperous.
