Birth of Christ Is the Answer to Your Challenge

Hurray! It's Christmas time and celebration of the hope of glory. Everything is subject to Christ's authority. So, an understanding of this will put a smile on you. This post encourages you to see the birth of Christ as the answer to your challenge.

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace - Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV).

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins - Matthew 1:21 (NKJV).

Jesus is the reason for the season. The birth of Christ is for the rise and fall of many things in your life; fall of everything that is not of God and the rise of everything ordained of God for you. Therefore, the Lord's birth is basically for your good if you can receive it.

Christ came for a purpose

God is a God of purpose, everything He does is for a purpose and so, the birth of Christ is equally for a purpose. As such, He came to save us from our sins (Matthew 1:21), do wondrous works, and give us peace and life in abundance (John 10:10). Also, He came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), heal us by His stripes (1 Peter 2:24) and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage (Hebrews 2:15). Furthermore, as many as will take Christ's yoke upon them, will He give rest unto their souls (Matthew 11:29).

Everything is subject to Christ

All creation, including the devil and his agents, is subject to Jesus (Hebrews 2:8). This is because He made everything, through Him and for Him (Colossians 1:16); without Him nothing was made that was made (John 1:3) and He heads principalities and powers (Colossians 2:10). So, everything (including the dead, John 5:25) hears His voice and does as He commands. Read more...

It's Time To Celebrate Excitedly The Goodness Of God

Are you in anyway feeling sad and unfulfilled at this time of the year? You shouldn't be and give the enemy room to rejoice over you. The greater one has done greater things for you. Therefore, this is the time to rejoice and celebrate the goodness of God. This post charges you to let go of all that wants to bring you down and celebrate the Lord who has done great things for you this year.

But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion - Ecclesiastes 9:4 (NKJV).

Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls— Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills - Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NKJV).

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! -Philippians 4:4 (NKJV).

You may not feel like praising God now because things didn't work out the way you desired this year. However, this is actually when to celebrate Him excitedly. This is the time to engage your spirit, soul and body to glorify Him for what He has done for you from the beginning of the year till now. The enemy wants you to believe you lost, I charge you not to give him that satisfaction because he is lying. God says that all things are working together for your good (Romans 8:28).

Displeased with God?

Many people are angry, displeased with God because according to them, He didn't do all that they asked of Him. I have a question for them, "Did they do all that the Lord asked of them?" Certainly, nobody should be angry with God because He did mighty things for us in-spite of our shortcomings.

Reasons to celebrate the goodness of God

1. You are alive

There is hope for the living, for a living dog is better than a dead lion (Ecclesiastes 9:4). Many people started the year with you but they are no more. Some people achieved what you desire to achieve but they are no more to enjoy the success. Read more....

Count Your Blessings Now Put Enemy On The Run

Are you still challenged in any way , but has some earlier testimonies? If so, this is the time to engage the weapon of testimonies to put the enemy on the run. Every arrow of testimony sends the devil farther away from you. This post encourages you to launch an attack against the enemy by counting your blessings and also shows you how.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death – Revelations 12:11 (NKJV).

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s – Psalm 103:1-5 (NKJV).

No matter the challenges confronting you, you can turn it around in your favour by counting your blessings. This is because your catalogue of testimonies has the power to generate more testimonies, silence and overcome the devil (Revelations 12:11).

Why Count Your Blessings

1. It wells up a heart full of thanksgiving.

Recounting what the Lord has done for you opens your mind to God’s faithfulness, love, mercy and power. This provokes thanksgiving and glorification unto God from the depth of your heart. And a heart full of thanksgiving grants you access to the Lord’s presence (Psalm 100:4), resulting in answered prayers (Psalm 16:11).

2. It commonizes the challenge

Recounting your testimonies enlarges God before you and decreases the challenge. This builds your confidence in the Lord and makes you to see Him as being bigger than your problems. Also, it dissolves any form of anxiety, fear or doubt, thereby making you see that challenge as what God will solve like other times. Read more...

How To Finish Strong In Faith And Not Stagger Now

Is it still possible to undoubtedly receive your miracle? The God of all possibilities is able to do the impossible even when you least expect it. But will He find faith of the heart in you when He comes? This post shows you how to hold onto your faith even if your chances of receiving your desired answer seem very slim.

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God - Romans 4:20 (KJV).

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding - Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV).

You may have done all you can now and you are empty of what else to do for your answered prayers, however, don't be despaired. It's time to stand strong in faith, nothing wavering. It's time to trust God and not lean on your own understanding.

How To Finish Strong

1. Don’t stagger at the promises of God

God's word is purified seven times (Psalm 12:6) and settled forever (Psalm 119:89). It is very reliable and never fails. What the Lord says is what He does. So, you need to put your eyes focused on the word of God and not on the raging storms. Unfortunately Peter missed it here. He was walking on water until he ceased to focus on Christ and focused on the storm, and then he started sinking (Matthew 14:28-31).

These storms, which represent the challenges before you, stop at the sound of God's word. Therefore, standing firm on the word of the Lord and not wavering no matter what is happening will empower your answer to come speedily.

2. Stand in faith

It is impossible to please God without faith of the heart (Hebrews 11:6). You must believe that He will do what He had promised. Choose to be moved by God's word and not by what people are saying or the circumstances around you. Also, believe the report of the Lord in spite of all odds. For instance, Abraham stood in faith, believing that God would indeed make him a father of nations, despite the deadness of his body and Sarah's body (Romans 4:19-20). Read more...

Engage Desperate Cry To The Eleventh Hour God

What else can you do to effect change at this eleventh-hour of the year? The days are rolling by and the year is almost gone, with your expectations yet to materialize. Furthermore, your hope is dwindling away faster than you can build it. So, it’s time to give it another push. This post encourages you to engage a desperate cry to God, who specializes in doing wonders even in the dying minutes.

And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested– 1 Chronicles 4:9 (NKJV).

And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!” – Genesis 32:26 (NKJV).

Truly, the year is fast approaching its end and you feel frustrated that you can’t slow it down or pause it for a while. All your steps seem not to add up, and you’re feeling like giving up and sitting down to watch the year roll by. I have additional step for you to take. This is engaging a desperate cry to the eleventh-hour God for a change.

What is a cry of desperation?

This is a cry from the heart, an action in despair when every other thing seems to have failed. Furthermore, it is a call for an urgent intervention from a person who is capable of rendering it. It’s not a mere loud outburst of words or shedding of tears and mourning, but a hopeful cry for change.

Cry to the Almighty God

Effective desperate cry is one directed to God. This is because human beings are grossly limited and satan never gives you anything with your good in mind. On the other hand, the Lord is the creator of the whole universe, and has the manual for successful life in it. So, He is the best authority to cry to. His thoughts towards man are for his good (Jeremiah 29:11) and His instructions are not grievous words (1 John 5:3). Read more...

How To End Still And Easily This Year In Success

Is it possible to still end this year in success? Many people may have given up on the year but you shouldn’t be part of them. Anything can still happen in the eleventh hour. This post tells you how you can still end the year successfully and with ease.

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” – Matthew 19:26 (NKJV).

Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? – Jeremiah 32:27 (NKJV).

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever – Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV).

The year is obviously coming to the end; this is the eleventh month. Many things are yet to be accomplished, the success goals seem impossible now and you’re at the verge of breaking down. All year long, you had struggled to be successful. People are even wondering what you have been doing from the beginning of the year to date. You have come to the end of the road. I have good news for you – The God of eleventh hour miracle is here.

God makes it possible

Your issue is not an issue with God. You can easily still end the year in success. All things are possible with God. What is impossible with man is possible with God.  There is nothing hard or difficult for your Lord to do. Before you think or say anything, remember that He created the whole world in SIX DAYS only. Your issue is a walkover for Him.

Scriptural Examples

Elijah and Widow of Zarephath

1 Kings 17:8-15 gives account of Elijah’s encounter with the widow of Zarephath. She had only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar just for one more meal for her and her son. They were to eat and then wait for death. But God through Elijah caused those food items not to finish till the drought ended. They met the end of the drought alive and in good health.

Elisha and the famine in Samaria

Furthermore, the act of the God of eleventh hour miracle can be seen in 2 Kings Chapters 2 and 3. There was a grievous famine in the land of Samaria to the point that women were eating their children. Elisha prophesied that the Lord will intervene and cause overnight surplus of food in the land. One of the king’s officers doubted its possibility; however, it came to pass but he didn’t live to partake of it. Read more...

Fight Discouragement With A Spark Of Joyous Hope

Are you discouraged with the state of things around you now, especially your progress at this time of the year? The year is drawing close to the end, many people are still struggling to have a better life than what they had at the beginning of the year. It is truly disheartening and energy draining, but there is still hope; the year is not over yet. Discouragement and God don’t go together. This post encourages you to take hold of hope coupled with joy against the discouraging circumstances to emerge triumphant.

“For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant – Job 14:7-9 (NKJV).

But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion – Ecclesiastes 9: 4 (NKJV).

Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation – Isaiah 12:3 (NKJV).

You may have started the year with excitement, enthusiasm and with great plans for a better year, and you have put in more effort in your work; however, right now you’re seeing nothing close to your earlier expectations. You are discouraged, sad and tired. I have good news for you – as long as you are alive, you still have a chance to end this year in a grand style.

The situation around you notwithstanding, there is still hope for a change. Everything may look gloomy and impossible, everyone may say this year is over and your case is closed, don’t allow them to discourage you. That may be their opinion but it’s not God’s verdict for you! Read more...

What You Have Is Enough, Don’t Belittle It

How often do you belittle what you have? Many people desire great things but they are ever quick to belittle what they currently have in their possession. They don’t see those things as keys to accessing what they desire. What you need for a change of story in your life is not far, it’s very much with you. This post stresses the need not to look down on what you have in your quest for greater things in life.

There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many? – John 6:9 (NKJV).

So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” – 2 Kings 4:2 (NKJV).

For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him – Matthew 13:12 (NKJV).

People are quick to look outside for solutions to their challenges, however, most of the time, their solution is inside. Belittling what you have leads to waste of time, energy and resources, and it delays the Lord’s intervention in your life. Sometimes, these persons end up not achieving their dreams because they belittled what they already had.

God works with and multiplies what you already have. Claiming not to have anything hinders the help of God towards you. More will be given to whoever has; but he who hasn’t, even that which he has will be taken from him (Matthew 13:12). Therefore, don’t be quick to say you don’t have. Look inwards and you will see what you have that will help you solve your challenge or get what you want.

In 2 Kings 4:1-7, a widow was in need of cash to pay up her husband’s debt so as to save her sons. When she was asked by Elisha what she had, she said, “nothing”, before adding that she had a jar of oil. At the end, it was this jar of oil that she considered not enough or as nothing that saved her and her sons. Read more...

My Declaration: I Am Healthy Wealthy And Wise

What are your declarations? Do you want to be healthy, wealthy and wise? It is a perfect combination to have if you are to enjoy your life in this world. Health is wealth and is wisdom to maintain a good health at all times. The question is” how do you get to this most desired state?” This article gives you the secret to health wealth and wisdom.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. – 3 John 2 (KJV)

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says – Mark 11:23 (NKJV)

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts – Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV)

People’s desire and I believe that includes yours too, is to have long life and prosperity and good health to enjoy them all. However many people have one of them and lack the others or two of them and lack the other. But God wants you to have them all.

God wishes above all things that you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers. He wants you to enjoy the life that He has given you to the best you can. And like every manufacturer, God has a manual on how to achieve this. One of the instructions given to us is that WE SHOULD ONLY SAY WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE IN LIFE. Our declarations are very important.

The scriptures say in Mark 11:23 that if you say anything and not doubt in your heart but believe that those things you said will be done, you will have whatever you say. That means also that what you say in your heart is what you will have. So your heart and your mouth must be in agreement. However, your mouth must speak out what you want for you to have it. This is because with your mouth salvation (freedom from the effects of the fall of man) comes to you – Romans 10:10

Now, does it sound foolish to you? Are you wondering how speaking out your desire can make you get it? Surely, to human reasoning it makes no sense but it is the creator’s manual. God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. If you can imagine how higher the heavens are from you, so also are His ways and thoughts higher than your ways and thoughts – Isaiah 55:8-9. Read more...

12 Ingredients For Success In Spite Of All Odds

Are you struggling with what you are doing and feel like quitting? Life is full of challenges. Learning to get through them is a major key to being successful. Without trials, there will be no triumph and without tests,there will be no testimonies. This post is aimed at showing you the ingredients you need for success in spite of all odds.

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. – John 16:33 (NKJV).

 

For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant – Job 14:7-9 (NKJV).

Many people are tired of living; they have struggled for a long time with no tangible result to show for all the efforts. Some have attributed their situations to their family background, illiteracy and poverty, and so have resolved to take it as their fate. However, the truth is that there are many people who have gone through worse situations and emerged successful.

Let’s consider some examples to inspire you:

A) From the scriptures

1. Daniel (Daniel 1-6)

He was a noble Jewish youth of Jerusalem who was taken into captivity by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. However, he rose to be a major leader in Babylon who served under three or four rulers. He was highly preferred of other leaders. He prospered in a foreign land where he was supposed to be a slave. Surely, he succeeded against all odds.

2. Joseph (Genesis 37-50)

He went from the pit, where his brothers first put him, to Potiphar’s house as a slave; then from Potiphar’s house to the prison for committing no crime, except for refusing to lie with his master’s wife. Finally, he got to the palace as the second in command in Egypt. He went through trying periods before his success even though God showed him earlier that he was going to be above his brethren and that they would bow to him. Read more...

It Doesn’t Have To Happen The Way You Want It

Do you think that your faith is not working or God is not answering your prayers because your prayers have not yet been answered? Don’t be dismayed, the Lord is watching His word to fulfil it in your life (Jeremiah 1:12). However, you must know that it doesn’t have to happen the way you want it. This post explains more on this truth.

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts – Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV).

For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise – Hebrews 10:36 (KJV).

Many times Christians expect their lives to be 1 + 1 = 2. They expect that when they have followed the instructions of God that God will answer them immediately as they want. However, it doesn’t always work like that. God knows the best things for you and will always do or give them to you if you will trust Him. You need to exercise patience when you have done the will of God to receive your heart desire (Hebrews 10:36).

God’s thoughts and ways are higher than your thoughts and ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). He is the Alpha and the Omega and so knows the end from the very beginning (Isaiah 46:10). He knows your future and the things you need and when you need them to be able to fulfill your destiny. Trust the Almighty Father. Waiting on Him will always culminate in higher glory.

In Daniel 3, the three Hebrew boys trusted God to save them but they didn’t know how He was going to do it. They still held on to their faith and declaration even when they were carried to be thrown into the fire. However, God was waiting for them in the furnace. At the end, the name of God was highly glorified and the three Hebrews boys were promoted.

The Lord will not give you what will not be beneficial to you or what will derail your path from your destiny. Silver is a precious stone, but Gold is more valuable than it. God would prefer to give you gold at the appropriate time than to give you silver now and then you miss the gold later. Read more...

One Thing To Be Mindful Of As You Mind Other Things

What is the most important thing in your life? This determines what you do daily and what you mind daily in life. Many people mind more what profits them more. However, there is one thing to be mindful of as you mind other things. This post is aimed at revealing this one thing, which gives the highest profit ever.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels - Mark 8:36-38 (NKJV).

While on earth, we need to mind so many things: our families, jobs, businesses, health, friends, etc. These are all very important. However, what we value most determines what we mind more. We tend to spend more time on this thing compared to others. Many people spend more time trying to make themselves comfortable on earth. This is good but it shouldn’t be at the detriment of our comfort after this life.

Surely there is life after this life (Matthew 25:46), and this second life is forever. Therefore, being mindful of only things that pertain to life on earth is not wisdom. This is because the number of years you may live on earth is merely like a drop of water compared to eternity wherever you end up after death, heaven or hell. You prepare for where you will be after now while on earth.

So, as you mind the things that will enable you to enjoy your life here on earth, ensure you also mind this one important thing: your relationship with Christ. Every other thing is secondary. Your relationship with Christ determines what comes to you now and after death. Surely, we will all leave this earth one day. It is wisdom to be more mindful of the life after now. Read more...

Understanding The Wisdom Of Joy

Are you always joyful or is your joy determined by your mood or what you possess per time? Joy is an important virtue every Christian should have if you want to be on top of all circumstances and enjoy the blessings of the Lord. This post aims to give you better understanding of the wisdom that lies in acquiring and maintaining your joy.

Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation – Isaiah 12:3 (NKJV).             

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! – Philippians 4:4 (NKJV).

Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls—yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation – Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NKJV).

Many people have reasons to give for not being joyful and they are ever eager to tell them to you. The enemy has so bombarded people with challenges and in the process succeeded in stealing their joy, which is a vital weapon in overcoming the enemy and his attacks. If devil can’t steal your joy, he can’t continue to keep what belongs to you.

When the enemy first attacks you, his major target is your joy. Once he takes your joy then he has power to keep stealing from you. However, if you refuse to let go of your joy he would be forced to restore whatever he had earlier taken from you. Therefore, it is great wisdom to guard your joy at all times. Choose to retain your joy no matter the circumstances around you. Put action to your joy by rejoicing evermore. Rejoice in the Lord always.

Reasons To Guard Your Joy

1. Joy is the bucket you use to draw water out of the well of salvation (Isaiah 12:3).

When your joy is in-tact it becomes easy for you to locate your escape route from any oppression of the devil, no matter how hidden it may be. Without joy you will be so engulfed in that challenge that you won’t be able to see the helps God had stationed around you or be able to reach out to God to save you. Read more...

Wisdom For Overcoming Temptation

Do you find yourself doing things you desire not to be doing? Do you fall into temptations? Good news, there is wisdom for overcoming temptation! This post explains how you can overcome temptations and do the right things at the right times.

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak – Matthew 26:41 (NKJV).

That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man – Ephesians 3:16 (NKJV).

Living ‘The Faith’ should not be a struggle for Christian believers. However, many Christians say it’s difficult to live as Christians on earth and so are always in despair each time they fall into sin or temptation. They truly desire to always do the right thing, but their flesh will always compel them to do the wrong thing. The temptation to say, think or do the wrong things will surely come, but you don’t have to enter into it. God has made provisions for you not to fall into temptation. It’s left for you to take hold of the wisdom given and access these provisions.

Jesus and Peter

In Matthew 26:31-46, 69-75, Peter was too confident that he would not stumble because of Christ; even when Jesus told him that he would deny Him thrice, he still declared that though others deny Christ that he wouldn’t do so. However, when it was time to back up his bold declarations with prayers, sleep didn’t allow him to pray. The temptation to deny Christ came and Peter succumbed to it woefully. Peter’s spirit was willing but his flesh was weak. Read more...

Holy Communion-The Wisdom Of God For Total Health Spirit, Soul And Body

What is Holy Communion to you? Your understanding of what it is and its benefits will determine the place you will give it in your life. It is more than small bread and drink taken in the churches. It is the wisdom of God for your total health spirit, soul and body. This post gives you a better understanding of the importance of Holy Communion to a believer.

Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him – (John 6:53-56 NKJV).

For it is the life of all flesh. Its blood sustains its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off’ – Leviticus 17:14 (NKJV).

The Holy Communion is a spiritual mystery that, when taken with understanding and faith, causes one to live above the natural realm.

What is Holy Communion?

It is bread and drink taken as the flesh and the blood of Jesus respectively. It was instituted by Jesus Christ Himself and was also encouraged by Him to be taken in remembrance of Him (Luke 22:19, I Corinthians 11:24-25). It is the new covenant in Christ’s blood, which was shed for all (Luke 22:20). It is the life of Jesus, the life of all flesh is its blood (Leviticus 17:14). It is fellowship with Christ in His flesh and blood. It is the wisdom of God through which we enjoy the life of Jesus in us. It can be taken as often as you want, the disciples were taking it daily (Acts 2:46). Read more...

Prosper In All Things As Your Soul Prospers

Do you desire to prosper in all things? It is the will of God that you prosper in all things and He has given us the wisdom on how to actualize this in our lives, which is to prosper first in our souls. This post aims at emphasizing the need to prosper in your soul if you desire to be prosperous in all things.

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers – 3 John 2 (NKJV).

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you – Matthew 6:33 (NKJV).

God has no problem prospering His children; all He wants is for their souls to prosper. This is because the prosperity of your soul not only guarantees your blessings on earth but also eternal life in heaven, which is more important to God. What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his soul? Furthermore, where your treasure is determines where your heart will be. What do you treasure most in life?

The level of our prosperity in all things is dependent on the level to which our souls prosper. You determine the speed and the extent to which you prosper in all things, including your health. Therefore, your prosperity is not determined in reality on the circumstances around you.

What does it mean for your soul to prosper?

Your soul prospers as you walk in the truth and in the love of God, as you walk in the knowledge of God’s word. The word of God is the lamp unto your feet and light unto your path (Psalm 119:105). It shows you where to step on and gives you a bright and clear view of the path you are treading on. You can’t miss it following the word of God. Your soul comprises your will, intellect and emotions; how much these align with the word of God determine the extent to which your soul prospers.

How to prosper your soul and how it affects your all round prosperity

1. Study the word of God (2 Timothy 2:15)

The bible (word of God) is the manual for a successful living on earth. Studying the word of God gives you the wisdom keys for success in life. It gives you access to the creator’s mindset that helps you not to tow the wrong path. It reveals your own success path and teaches you how to maintain and increase your success stories.

Seed time And Harvest

Are you weary of waiting for your harvest? Harvest always follows seedtime and every seed is sown with an expectation of a harvest. Seed time and harvest is a spiritual law that has been in operation since creation. This article states the reason why this law can never falter.

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 (KJV)

As long as the earth is still here, harvest is sure. Whatever you sow, you will reap, whether good or bad.  Therefore, always sow what you desire to harvest. You may tell me that you sowed good seeds but you are yet to receive your harvest. Be perfectly assured that it is still coming.

The God of the harvest, creator of the universe and the enactor of this spiritual law watches over His word to ensure that it is fulfilled. Seed time and harvest is a potent force that works either for good or bad, even if it is delayed. God is the reason why this law can never falter.

God never fails nor changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He does what He says. He says what He means and means what He says. He is the one that converts the seeds to harvest over a period of time. God is faithful. Furthermore, He showed us an example when He gave His Son Jesus for the world, and reaped and is still reaping a multitude of saints. What a potent force! Seed time and harvest shall not cease.
