TOPIC: *DIVINE SECRETS TO PROSPERITY*
Text: Hebrew 1:8; Psalm 106:3
*MEMORY VERSE*Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people (Prov.14:34)
*MESSAGE:*The world of God in Psalm 35:27 says God has passionate pleasure in the prosperity of His people. Prosperity is good. It's one of the greatest desires of all men. Even the mad persons on the streets like it. They like acquiring properties. Haven't you seen them going around gathering any rubbish they see on their ways to themselves. To them, the mad folks, they believe they are acquiring properties. Prosperity simply means, the state of being successful and having a lot of money and properties. Sometimes ago on this devotional, I released a topic titiled 'You Can Prosper While Living Righteous.' I was moved to speak against some persons wrong notion that, if one is righteous, faithful, truthful he or she cannot prosper like others who play pranks and cut corners in the society. From the word of God, the best secret to easily slip into everlasting and peaceful prosperity is padded in walking with God, and in meeting up with Biblical instructions or standard for mankind.
Heb.1:9, one of our today text says, loving righteousness gives the righteous upper hands above others. Disappointingly, we have even heard some Christian said, as long as you don't steal in the office or in business, you cannot be more than an average persons in financial prosperity. That's lie anyway. See God's stance on prosperity to His children in these scriptures: Zech.1:17, "..Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad;" My cities in this scripture means, God's temple. Hope you know whoever is a true Christian is a temple of God. And God's mind for them is to spread and establish abroad through divine orchestrated prosperity. Psalm 35:27 says, whoever is on the side of righteous cause of God shall have reasons to shout for joy; shall be glad continually. The last part of this Psalms also revealed to us that God has pleasure in the prosperity of His people. But, this prosperity can only come if that Christian who desires prosperity is among God's people that stand on the Lord's side of: [i]. Righteousness. Proverb 14:34a says, "Righteousness exalteth a nation." Again, according to Job 36:11, other secrets to prosperity of a Christian are: [ii]. Obedience to God, to His servants and to His word (2nd Chr.20:20)
[iii]. And rendering service to Him (Deut.10:12; 13:14; 15:5). Do you want to prosper as a Christian without doing what the corrupt world does? Just adictedly adopt and practice these above stated secrets. Then you are on your way to thriving in kingdom wealth. Lastly, remember, the 'b' part of our memory scripture says, "but sin is a reproach to any people." If you don't want reproach in any form, stay off all sins completely.
*PRAYERS:*
1. Thank God for abundant prosperity in Christ.
2. Lord, deliver me from negative mindset.
3. Father, give me the kind of prosperity that will shame the world.
4. Lord, help me to keep on obeying kingdom principles.
*GOOD NIGHT REST IN JESUS CHRIST NAME*

SPIRITUAL MEAL FOR GROWTH

TOPIC: WHAT CAN MAKE A MAN TO BE A SUCCESS TO SELF AND TO OTHERS [Part I]
TEXT: Daniel 8:1-16
*MEMORY VERSE:*And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none [Ezekiel 22:30].
*MESSAGE:*As voiced out by today's memory verse, God said He is in need of persons to use for His divine purposes, but found none. He found none doesn't mean there are no people available to pick. I bet you, all over the world, within the churches and outside, if the heart of many are searched, it will shock you that many folks, even the ones that fight and criticize churches, pastors aspire to be one of the popularly known [genuine] men of God in the society. They like to be used also. Really God would've loved to use them, but the hitch is that, there are impediments in their lives that disqualify them for God's use. And, the faithful and righteous God I know, can never compromise His stance to use unclean vessel just because He is in need of who to use. Unless there's a proactive positive change. What is that God stance for everything in life? Holiness is. Holiness, purity is His standard in every of His assignment/mission. And this His stance is uncompromising and unshakable. Our anchor scripture says, while Daniel was trouble to know what to do when he was in a confusing, complicating situation, God answered him at a place called Ulai. The name Ulai means "pure waters." And that's where God spoke to Daniel from. I want to say this, God can only speak through a person, a place that's pure. He can't speak or reach out through 'a dirty water'. I mean, God wouldn't conduct through a dirty place or person. And it's profitable to be used of God. Beloved, know this, if God found a person or place qualifies for His divine purpose, that fellow or location wouldn't only be a blessings to others, but would be stupendously blessed [check it out in Romans 8:28]. That is what 2nd Timothy 2: 21 mean by saying, "If a man therefore purge himself from these, He shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work." Prepare unto every good work means, all things, including personal endeavors, project would work for good. Why? Because God would deposit chips to be multi purposely useful in that [vessel of honour], useful fellow. Mainly because God found him/her worthy. A blessed man is a man that's useful to, for God in his acquired success. Among others I know, there's an uncle, an aunty and friends of mine I know that are successful and are still tirelessly useful for God. Some persons are successful, but not useful. Do you want to be usefully successful in life to yourself and to others? Then, enroll into the class of sanctified and useful ones. By God's grace, we shall continue from here tomorrow. Shalom!
*PRAYERS:*

2. Talk to God say, O God my Creator, purify me and set me aside for Your use from today.
*SWEET WEEKEND!*
