SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY

God bless you brethren. May we look into the Word on the subject of Spiritual Prosperity, trusting that the Holy Ghost break the Word for us and enlighten us along the way. Now, to start with, you may have noticed that many people in our world today are conversant with prosperity in terms of material well being of an individual and so quest for it. They think and perceive prosperity as to what eyes can see at present. The world knows nothing about Spiritual Prosperity. They are blind to it. Many Churches are blind to it, and carnality is responsible for such blindness, according to Scriptures. A carnal man can’t understand the things of the Spirit. “…the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God.” He can neither understand Spiritual Prosperity nor be Spiritually prosperous; yet in his carnality he thinks he is Spiritually prosperous, mistaking it for material acquisition or successfulness of life endeavours. The carnal lukewarm Church of this age does so. Blind! And the Spirit warns: Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. Rev.3:17-18. Oh, how it’s so appalling to see the bad condition of the Church today as stated in the above Scripture. She doesn’t know She is in such a mess; the worst thing that can happen to a person. Wretched, miserable and poor, blind and naked, not knowing it; what a shame. How people can’t see they’re lost without Christ! And they go on chasing after the wind, accumulating wealth and trying to find comfort without the Blood of Jesus Christ. Deceived like Eve and blinded like Cain, they go on with religion of wisdom against faith and thinking God is with them. Cain never knew God wasn’t with him. He thought he pleased Him with his religious sacrifice of no blood revelation. Cain never understood why God rejected his giant sacrifice. Big business investments, good jobs, big salaries, big offerings, good houses, fine Church buildings, good choir, well polished ministers, big membership, Church business programs, Church schools and hospitals, it’s all good; but where is the Blood of Jesus Christ? “God is with us” they say, or who else is giving us these blessings? He is with us! His miracles, signs and wonders in our midst bear witness. Oh, how they came so close to deceive the very elect if it were possible. You are doomed without the Blood! Or how can you lock the door of your hearts, the door of your Churches against Jesus and dinning with Satan in falsehood of adulterated Word and saying you’re a message Church or that you believe the message, covering up with religion like Adam and Eve did after the fall. There’s certainly no way for you to kicking against the Token Life of the Bloody Word and be the Word Bride. You need the Eye Salve! That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, Eph.1:17-18. Brethren! Until we open our hearts and let Jesus come in by the Holy Ghost in true Spirit baptism and we in Him (quickened to the full Word of the hour) shall we no longer be naked but clothed with Christ. Until we come to that stature, shall we no longer be blinded by Satan’s Laodecia spirit of temporal material prosperity in place of eternal inheritance... For there is an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, that doesn’t fade away, reserved in heaven for us. 1Pt.1:4. That is the true prosperity. All that God gave to Adam! The Title Deed to Eternal Life and possession of the earth; how Adam forfeited it to Satan, even his dominion thereof. But thank God the Book went back to the Hand of the original Owner. Rev.5:1. Glory be to God! How the Kinsman Redeemer came and took the Book, redeeming us by His Blood and sent back His Spirit into our hearts for a guarantee to the inheritance - making us holders of the Abstract Title Deed Book of Redemption. All that belong to Him belong to us: all the promises thereof in the Book! “In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.” Amen. That’s Mark 16:17-18; 10:28-30. We have passed from death into life. All the gracious and wonderful promises of the Bible belong to us, given to us by our Redeemer, the Great and Mighty King who is prosperous in righteousness. We shall be like Him. We shall see Him as He is and dine with Him in glorious splendour of His Kingdom. We shall rule with Him in the Millennium. His Kingdom belongs to us. The new heaven and new earth belong to us. The New Jerusalem belongs to us: the City whose builder and maker is God! Won’t you be there? The City and its streets thereof are of pure gold. Its wall is of Jasper. The foundations of the wall of the City are garnished with all manner of precious stones. The gates thereof are of twelve pearls, and many more! Think about that. There shall be no night there. What a Prosperous Kingdom! Oh! My father is rich in houses and lands He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands! Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold; His coffers are full, He has riches untold I’m a child of the King! A child of the King! With Jesus my Saviour, I’m a child of the King! “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Shalom
