Possess the Land.


20Feb/134 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers (Deuteronomy 8:1). When the children of Israel were about to enter the Promised Land, Moses explained to them that they had to go in and possess the land. You see, it wasnt enough for them to just go into the land, they had to possess it as well. In other words they have to take charge of the land, and enjoy the benefits therein. In the New Testament, we are not going into the Promised Land; we were born into the Promised Land. However, the instruction to possess the land remains the same! Now that you are in it, you must possess your inheritance in Christ. You must possess your divine health, prosperity, peace, and joy. You have been born into the land that flows with abundant blessings, but you have to possess yours. The sure way to do so is through your confessions! You must boldly declare that all what God says are yours belong to you. Keep declaring that you have arrived in the place of abundance, where you enjoy unlimited wealth and divine health. Keep declaring that you are making progress and moving forward in life. Keep declaring that you have been brought into a large place!

Through Prosperity shall my City Be Built.

Giving is your Nature


30Jan/131 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again (Luke 6:38). God is the greatest giver there is. The Bible says For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16). His love motivated Him to give the greatest gift of all: His precious Son Jesus Christ. Its Gods nature to give. No wonder the Bible declares that Hes given us ALL things that pertain to life and to godliness (2 Peter 1:3). God is always excited whenever His children demonstrate His giving nature. A giver will never live in poverty or lack because the Bible says The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself (Proverbs 11:25). Inverting this statement, youll easily deduce that the one who is stingy and greedy will not experience the blessing of the giver as the Scripture here reveals. The Bible didnt say, Receive, and then give and it shall be given unto you, rather it says, Give, and it shall be given unto you good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. Thats why the Bible declares that it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).

Through Prosperity shall my City Be Built. Youre made in the image and likeness of God; youve been created to function like God; therefore you have the nature of a giver. Whenever theres a call to give, always give your best, just as God gave His best by sending Jesus to die for the salvation of mankind.

Prosperity is Yours!
02Nov/1211 though he was so very rich, yet to help you he became so very poor, so that by being poor he could make you rich (2 Corinthians 8:9 TLB). The Scripture above is our guarantee for a life of supernatural abundance. The riches we have in Christ are impossible to quantify. Amidst these riches, some people still find it increasingly difficult to believe what the Scripture above says. Job 22:24 says, Thou shalt lay-up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. This presupposes that our wealth is inexhaustible. Again the Bible says of the Lord Jesus though he was (so very) rich, yet for your sakes he became (so very) poor, in order that by his poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied) (2Corinthians 8:9 Amp). One thing religious folks cant stand is prosperity. It makes them uncomfortable and restless. But if they would spend more time with their Bibles and believe what they read, they will come to the full knowledge of the truth.

Through Prosperity shall my City Be Built. Prosperity is yours in Christ Jesus, so dont let anybo dy deceive you. There is nothing too good for you because you are the kings kid. Never give heed to those who say otherwise, just keep talking and living happy. And when you see a fellow brother or sister prospering, be happy and rejoice with him or her.

Seed Time!
14Sep/120 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest shall not cease (Genesis 8:22) The above Scripture was Gods solemn declaration to Noah, his household and to all creation after the flood. It elucidates the kingdom principle which states that when I sow my seed, I have every right to expect a harvest from it. The Scripture says seedtime and harvest and not seedtime and harvest time. Meaning that there is a specific time to sow in order to activate Gods anointing on your behalf for a multiplied and sustained harvest. Isaac dwelt in the land of Gerar (Genesis 26:6); a land already ravaged by famine. When everyone left town for Egypt- the land of corn and wine, Isaac was moved to do the same; he had forgotten that Abraham, his father, prospered wherever he went, irrespective of the prevailing economic conditions. Just when he was about to leave Gerar, God spoke to him: do as I say

Through Prosperity shall my City Be Built. and stay in this land. If you do, I will be with you and bless you just as I promised Abraham your father (Genesis 26:3 TLB). Then Isaac sowed in the land and received in the same year an hundredfold (Genesis 26:12-13). He recognized the seed time and thus he prospered the rest of his days. When the city of Zarephath experienced a severe famine because there hadnt been rainfall, a poor widow came to the city gates and gathered sticks to prepare her last meal. As she was doing that, Prophet Elijah showed up and demanded for the same meal she had hoped to prepare for herself and her son. When she sowed her seed (the meal), she lived the rest of her days in plenty. Imagine if she had refused to give the meal to the prophet, she would have missed her seed time and would have starved to death with her son. Train yourself to respond promptly to Gods instruction to sow. Recognize that you are in partnership with God and get it working by faith.

Learn to Give!
04Sep/120 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again (Luke 6:38).

Through Prosperity shall my City Be Built.

The Scripture above proves that each one of Gods children could and should live in abundance every day of their lives. While some would read this Scripture with excitement at the thought of being able to give and ready to do what it says, others read it and become sad thinking, but I dont have anything to give. Refuse to be ignorant. Never say you have nothing to give! The Lord Jesus wasnt specific on what to give according to the above Scripture. He simply instructed us to give! You think you have nothing to give when you are thinking in one direction only, but how about love? What about help? Irrespective of how low you may be in life, you must always have something to give. If you want men to give to you, you must learn to give. Gods Word has the potency to produce what it talks about. So when you give as the Lord Jesus instructed above, the power will come upon others, causing them to do for you as the Word of God had said. Remember the Word says in Isaiah 55:11, my Wordthat goeth forth out of my mouthshall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereunto I sent it. It is impossible for Gods Word to fail. Do what th e Word says and your life will produce Word-based results.

Through Prosperity shall my City Be Built.

Give And It Shall Be Given Unto You!


27Jul/121 In Luke 6:38, the scripture proves that every one of Gods Children could and should live in abundance every day of their lives. When the Lord Jesus said, Give and it shall be given unto you He wasnt specific on what to give. He just instructed us to give! When we talk of giving, people immediately think we are referring to giving of our substance, though thats part of it. And they think, I dont have anything to give; but thinking this way is thinking in one direction. How about love? What about help? You can give these. It doesnt matter how low you are in life, you always have something to give. If you want men to give you, you must first learn to give. It is impossible for the Word of God to fail; make up your mind to do what the Word says and your life will produce Word-based results.

Prove your commitment by your giving


12Jul/1214 God told Abraham to give Him his only son as a burnt sacrifice. When he was about to do it, God stopped him, saying, lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything upon him: for now I know that thou

Through Prosperity shall my City Be Built. feareth God, Seeing thou hast not with held thy Son, thine only Son from me (Genesis 22:12). Can you see that Abrahams action was a proof of his faith? Though he had been walking with the Lord, he had to prove his commitment through his giving. God told him what to give and he gave it. His action was a proof of his commitment to God. The quality of your seed will always determine your level of commitment. There is no other way. You are not committed to something you dont give into; it is self deception to think otherwise. This is the reason the Lord Jesus said in Luke 12:34, For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Prove your commitment today through you

Prosperity In the Word


04Jul/122 Gods desire is for every one of His children to prosper. He wants everyone to see your progress. He wants them to take notice of what He is doing in your life. Some people think that its just okay to get by in life from day-to-day, but God thinks otherwise. He loves to boast of you! He wants His blessing in your life to spread until nobody can deny it. The Bible had this to say concerning Isaac, the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: for he had possession of flocks, and possessions of herds and

Through Prosperity shall my City Be Built. great store of servants: and the philistines envied him (Genesis26:13-14). Paul the Apostle gave Timothy the secret to evident progress. He said, Meditate on these things (the Word of God); give yourself wholly entirely to th em. You may ask is it that simple? emphatically yes! He is saying that if you meditate on the Word and give yourself to it, your progress will spread abroad. If you do as the Lord says, that little business of yours can become an international cooperation! Your life will become a topic of discussion in distant lands. Keep meditating on the Word and remember that the power is in speaking the Word.

A Life of Glory and Virtue!


Everything required for your success has already been provided by God. His works were finished from the foundation of the world, and this means you dont have to struggle in life. Everything concerning your health and prosperity has been taken care of; you have entered into His rest now. The Bible says in 1 Peter 1:3,according as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue We have been called to a life of glory and virtue, and we have as our present hour possession, all that we need to live a glorious life in Christ. Hallelujah!

Through Prosperity shall my City Be Built. This should put some springs in your steps! Refuse for suffer because suffering is absolutely unnecessary for a child of God. If you would pay attention to Gods Word and make certain to do what He says, you would live a fulfilled life. Receive this truth today with faith. You have been fixed on the path of success and victory; God did it ever before you came on the scene. He made you a success and ordained your prosperity before you were born. Nothing in this life is too good for you, for you are the seed of Abraham, and youre called to a life of power, glory and virtue

Count Your Blessings.


In the book of Luke 17:11-18, the Bible records that Jesus healed ten lepers. However, it was the only one, having realised that he had been healed, who came back to Jesus, to give thanks. And Jesus said to him thy faith hath made thee whole. You see, all ten were healed, but the one who returned to give thanks, received a greater miracle in his life he was made whole. In the same manner you must learn to count your blessings and be grateful for all the Lord does for you. Learn to look out for the blessings and express gratitude, regardless of how small they may seem. Remember the song which says,

Through Prosperity shall my City Be Built. Count your blessings name them one by one, Count your blessings; see what God has done, Count your blessings; name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done. How true this is! Sometimes we may not know how good the Lord has been to us, until we take stock of His goodness in our lives. When you are grateful for the little things, it wont be long before greater miracles will be manifested in your life. The Lord is compassionate and His mercies are new every morning; He daily loads us with benefits. This means, with each passing day, we experience and enjoy new blessings from the Lord. So, give Him thanks! Look out for any change in your present circumstance and give God praise for it. Look through your life and count your blessings! As you do so, Hell do much more for you. Can you practice that today?
