KNOWING THE BASIS OF PROSPERITY


KNOW HIM AND DO EXPLOITS:

Your prosperity can become real, if only you know God who is the source of all wealth. Until you know God, you cannot do exploits. A man who does exploits is a man that has discovered God. It is your divine discovery that brings about spiritual, financial and material exploits that are recognizable in your life.

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt with flatteries; but the people who know their God shall be strong and do exploits” Daniel 11:32

Daniel was exposed to the revelation that if he could only know God, he would attain lofty achievements. He was a slave in Babylon. To all intents and purposes, he was destined for a life of servitude and obscurity. Though he was not the only Hebrew child, there were thousands, but he knew something more than others-he knew his God. He had heard of what God had done in times past-how He parted the Red Sea and brought water out of the rock and as such he identified with Him.

“They that do know their God shall be strong…”

When you have knowledge, you cease from being poor, when you have knowledge, you stand at an advantage to overcome. When you have knowledge, you will be head far above your peers.

How much of God do you know?

The extent of God’s knowledge you grasp will determine the level of your freedom. By the knowledge of God, keys will be delivered into your hands. Daniel had a personal and vibrant relationship with God. The source of prosperity and breakthrough in life lie with God. And as long as you refuse to get connected to him on a one to one basis, you will continue to experience struggle.

One miracle is all you need to catapult your life from obscurity to renown; from abject poverty to unfailing prosperity and it comes through knowing him.

Daniel discovered his God early and as such, he discovered the formula to breakthrough and the pathway to life by simply knowing God, he got connected to an unending source of prosperity. He discovered that the hearts of kings, the thrones of kingdoms and the scepters of dominions are laid in the hands of God and he decided to get in contact with the highest of all. As long as you seek God you will prosper.

IS RHEMA RELEVANT TO YOUR PROSPERITY?


On November 23, 1988, I was on my way from Ikoyi in Lagos State, Nigeria, where I had gone to source for funds for the ministry. As I drove along at a quarter to one in the morning, broken and disappointed because my expectations had not been realized. I heard His voice clearly; (Rhema, the spoken word of God) “son the day you stop chasing men I will magnify my glory.” From that day onward I stopped looking up to men.

Stand on the promises of God for that is the only way you can shine. Discover the word that is connected to your situation and shine thereby. Every exploit in life is as a result of knowledge. No man ever got to the top without knowing what it takes to get there.

It is your turn.

Everything that connotes begging in your life must cease and die off. You must begin to shine in Jesus name.

“The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy: I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10: 10 [RSV]

You can only connect to abundant life when you know the source. In the midst of captivity, Daniel sat on the throne of abundance because he knew the king of kings. Discover the abundant life in Christ. Become an inspiration to those around you. Align yourself with him so that men will be forced to ask you what the secret of your success is.

No one is interested in identifying with a failure. Discover the keys that are able to open the doors of abundance to you through His ‘word’

When you walk in the knowledge of the mysteries of God, you will flourish. The bible has an answer to every question pertaining to this life in between its pages. This is the ‘logos’ or the written word.

When you receive revelational insight into the word of God it becomes ‘Rhema’ it takes up life, light and understanding dawn on you concerning the decision, that problem or that question. The solution you need can be determined by the word of God.

The difference between the ‘logos’ and the ‘rhema’ is results. So sit down with the word of God to make your life count. The man who can only stay on the word will be prosperous

“This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth…

For then shall make thy way prosperous and then shall thou have good success” Joshua 1:8

Prosperity, good health, long life peace and all those things that are essential for good life are all located in the word of God.
