2 Chro 26:4, 5
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: *and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper*.

Glory to God Almighty!
Well-being is part of what we usually call the universal aspirations of mankind. Everyone seeks to do well, physically, financially and emotionally. The key thing in our endeavor to win is to understand the source of all these. God the giver of life, is also the liberal giver of all the prosperity we can ever imagine.
But does it come just out of the blue when needed?
From the beginning of days and throughout God's interactions with men, He shows favour and mercy for all who obey Him, - Abraham, King David and many other examples.
Here we see that, King Uzziah prospered [his reign,, Agricultural business] as long as He drew close to God and walked in obedience [to the word of God].
I bring to your remembrance that, when we keep God closer, His Countenance and Strong Arm will always make a way for us. He will preserve our lives and the power to get wealth will be bestowed upon us [Deut 8:18]

May God help us to keep the way and may He bless the work of your hands.

God bless you.

Apostle G. O. Boateng

THE ISSUE OF CHURCH OFFERINGS

2 Cor 9:7 [KJV]

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

There are 3 things that can be deduced from this verse

1. You give to God as you 'deciced' to. [value doesn't matter, God records what you made in your mind when you were heading to church]

2. No preacher or MC should force you to give anything you didn't purpose to give. If you do so out of 'shame' or for glory seeking it is of no value in the books in heaven.

3. You're required to give offerings [not necessarily money] to God and it is deemed a high thing in the commandments of God. And this should be be done out of a good heart and personal judgment.

There's a new wind blowing in both orthodox and the Charismatic denominations.
It is witnessed how many are forced to give absurd and mind boggling monies and other stuff all in the name of miracles and church well-being.
Personally, I have had people complain about this.
Some give 3 and 4 different types of offerings and others too as high as 6 offering types.

People are out of church, others don't attend regularly and the saddest part, - people have vowed NEVER to attend church!

On the issue of "seed sowing", the giver should also purpose to give according as he or she has vowed to God and should not be done under any oath [except personal] forced on them by third parties!
[good examples: Hannah {1sam 2}, Jephthah {Judges 11}
Remember "seeds" are given in anticipation of receiving something from God and it is in the form of an oath or pledge.

God does not take anything before doing wonders or showing favour. He has a liberal Spirit! [James 1:5]

DEAR CHURCH LEADERS BEWARE!
Jesus said, "whosoever does not gather with me, scatters"

God Bless
