POWER TO GET WEALTH (PART 4)
By Rev.
Michael Benson Ajayi
1 Peter
2:9KJV " But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who
hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
The word 'marvelous' as used in this scripture is the Greek word
'thaumazo' meaning 'to have in admiration' and the word darkness is a word
which means 'shadiness'. God's plan is for you to experience prosperity in a
world bedeviled with economic woes and confusion caused by shady dealings .Your
prosperity will make you become the center of attraction wherever you
are. 1Peter 2:9 says God wants to show you off to the world as trophies of
grace, signs of His benevolence.
Jacob experienced this in the hands of a treacherous
master Laban who did everything possible to undo Jacob but instead he thrived,
flourished and made gainful progress in adversity. The scriptures says in Gen
30:43KJV "And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and
maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses"he thrived in the midst
of economic inflation and was envied by Laban's sons . The world can’t
stand prosperous Christians because they threaten their way of life. Rich
Christians have the capacity to buy up estates that were criminal hideouts and
turned them into useful community development centers.
Similarly, Isaac was in a country that experienced extreme
lack and economic downturn, and instead of immigrating to a better place, God told
him to remain in that community and caused him to flourish (Gen:26) .Prosperity
isn’t a function of geographical location but covenant relationship with God. The
period of scarcity brings about fear, hopelessness and uncertainty to those
without an understanding of the covenant of prosperity that exists between God
and His people through Jesus Christ.
Instead of panic in times of adversity,
we should turn to God's word for directions. He is behind the shaking of the
world’s economy and it is for our common good( Hag.2:6-8). He promises to
rescue you and make you a sign and a wonder to other nations.Scriptures says in Zechariah
8:13 (NLT): "Among the other nations,… Now, I will rescue you and make you
both a symbol and a source of blessing. So don't be afraid. Be strong, and get
on with rebuilding the temple!" You shall be a source of financial help to
others by reason of covenant prosperity as long as you remain committed to
spreading the gospel.
Daily declare your immunity to the economic
inflation because He says in Job 5:20, 22 (NLT): " He will save you from
death in time of famine…” because of your faith in Him, He also promises in
Psalm 33:18-19: to deliver your souls from death, and to keep you alive in
famine." Your future is bright child of God, Psalm 37:18-19 says : you
will have more than enough [ more than is needed] during famine. You will
thrive [ advance and grow vigorously, Prosper,
flourish, succeed, breakthrough] in Jesus name.
