FOCUS
Today we are looking at another reason for prosperity and it is for the kingdom sake. God has a kingdom and He has the interest of His kingdom at heart. The reason Christ was born, went to the cross crucified, rose up on the third day, ascended and gave gift to men, was for His kingdom. So that the excellency of glory might be of Him. It is not of him that willeth or runneth but of the Lord that showeth mercy. So that we that are gentiles can come into the kingdom of God and be a partaker of divine grace.
The kingdom of God has always been the priority of God and God’s will for His people is prosperity. So when He blesses you, it is so you can use it for His kingdom. Even though you come to the kingdom poor, you are not permitted to remain poor in the kingdom. The kingdom of God is the only thing that comes with supernatural increase.
Go and check everyone that use their money to finance the kingdom, they always excel, there’s a grace of prosperity that comes on them that you cannot understand. People that use their resources to finance the gospel, maybe they printed devotionals free, sponsored tracks, started missionary schools, they keep prospering even in the midst of challenges. God wants you to prosper because of His kingdom. Just like they way every natural father wants their children to do well, so that when they are old their children can take care of them.
You cannot be outside the kingdom and expect kingdom prosperity. The primary purpose of the wealth God gives to you is for you to be a blessing to His kingdom; sponsor crusades, produce tracks, go for world wide evangelism. I pray that may the Lord give us the resources to take care of His kingdom in Jesus Name. Amen
LESSON
Zechariah 1:17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
The Kingdom of God is what Christ came to establish on earth. How can you be a blessing to the kingdom? Sponsoring crusade, taking care of servants of God, building churches, sending missionaries to field and catering for their needs, providing sound instruments for the church, these are ways you can be a blessing to the kingdom.
The kingdom of God is not in meat and drink but in power and demonstration of the love of God to man kind. God has already given us His son as a sacrifice, so we need to give our money to service the kingdom because the kingdom of God operates by wealth. There’s an avenue that without prosperity, the gospel cannot be spread abroad. If it is not spread then it is not the gospel.
God wants to spread the gospel but only on the wings of prosperity but if you don’t understand, you may think God is blessing you for personal consumption, No. When you are blessed and you return to become a blessing to the kingdom, then you are living to become a kingdom seed but if you are blessed and you don’t extend it, you will be like the rich fool whom God took his soul in an unexpected manner.
So, I want you to please note that the avenue for spreading the gospel is through prosperity. I see God putting money in our hands in this season, I see God lifting us. Prosperity brings comfort to the kingdom. Stay Blessed!
