YOU SHALL FLOURISH IN THE MIDST OF STRONG OPPOSITION AND ADVERSITY


 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'   in this scripture is the Greek word 'thaumazo' it means 'to have in admiration' and '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 .You  shall  set the standard in business ethics for others to follow . You are a trophy of God's grace and 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 adversity  A prosperous Christians is a threat to the world's corrupt system , the prosperity of the righteous frustrates the works of evil men. 
       Similarly, Isaac was in a country that experienced extreme lack and instead of fleeing , God told him to remain and caused him to flourish (Gen:26) .Prosperity isn’t a function of geographical location but our covenant relationship with God. The period of scarcity brings about fear,misery, 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. Some of the most extraordinary scientific discoveries will emerge from the church during the time of scarcity.I am a living witness to this , God gave me an idea to manufacture ( Mafito multipurpose super clean - Google Search) one of the most advanced cleaning compound the world has ever seen .He will do something great through you too. 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.
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me for my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation, I receive him as lord and saviour and receive grace  to  advance and grow vigorously, Prosper, flourish, succeed and breakthrough in Jesus name.
