INTRODUCTION;
People who camp around prophets don't suffer,three million people camped around prophet Moses and for forty years they did not lack without doing any work, there was no oppurtunity to farm because God was moving them from one place to the other.
It is not the means of your income that makes you prosperous, they did not work for forty years yet they did not suffer any hunger in the wilderness, God's prosperity comes via HIS blessings on the work of your hands, God's blessings will come through the work of your hands, but it is not limited to the work of your hands, HE blesses according to HIS riches and glory in CHRIST JESUS.
The work of your hands can never be compared to riches and glory, the work of your hands can make you rich, only God can bless you.It is the blessings of God that secures the earning of the work of your hands.
Your means of income is too narrow a channel to contain the blessings God has in stock for you.
MAIN BODY;
One widow camped around a prophet during the famine, she was to her last meal and die and the prophet said "don't you worry!, am here!, the only thing that will kill you is the only thing that succeeds in killing me".
God gives us information about what may happen to us, but HE gives us assurance about our exemption (mat 24-6; mal 3-17). God exempts you because you serve HIM.
HE is interested in what you are saying, because what you say to HIS ears is what HE confirms in your life. WHAT YOU SAY GOD CONFIRMS.
Where fear comes, failure follows, the cure to fear is faith, fear comes by hearing or seeing negative things, faith comes by hearing positive things like God's word which gives us assurance.God's word is the greater light that melts down every darkness.
Settle with the settled word in order to be settled in this world, whatever God settles is settles forever, when you contact the settled word , it settles you. God's word brings you to settled position.
Don't watch and fold your hands if your life is on the floor. BE HOPEFUL! Don't look up to man, the man you are looking up to needs help too, you will be disappointed, LOOK UP TO GOD!
One day there was famine in Samaria and women met the king and said "oh king help us"! and the king replied " me, i need help too"! They called a prophet and he said "there will be food in abundance in the next twenty four hours" God honoured HIS word in the mouth of the prophet.
There is a magnet between your "look" and God's blessings.Nobody look up to HIM and get disappointed, you have looked around and people have failed you, LOOK UP! HE can arrange help for you from anywhere, HE can drive a host of army for you to take charge and take your possessions.
Most children of Isreal in Baylon were known to be jews, but only Daniel and friends knew God and only Daniel and his friends could stand before the king and said "we will not bow down to the idols". If you don't know God you will be compelled to bow.
God's word can never be broken, HE has already said that you shall not beg. HE has taught us to work only as a channel to show that we are dilligent and hardworking people, HE never said that HE is going to bless you according to your salary, HE said HE will bless you according to HIS riches and glory.
In acts of the apostles, by reason of the twelve aapostles the bible said "none among them lacked anything" (acts 4-34).
There is no freedom without economic freedom, the only way the church can make "noise" without intimidation and fear is by her economic power, if you are poor nobody will listen to you, nobody wants to camp around poor people.
God's house is the only place for security in these times of uncertainties, it is the place where God has commanded HIS blessings at this hour, it is the only place where food will never finish. You have a guarantee of exemption (john16-33). When there is thick darkness it is an indication that the brightness of your rising has finally come.
HE WILL SPARE YOU;
God said HE will spare you, HE will distinguish you, HE will exempt you, HE will count you out, HE will place a mark on you, HE will count you out, HE will seperate you, that is; HE will put you aside as untouchable, HE will put you aside as a man spares his own child who serve him. No matter what is happening there is a programme of exemption for you.................
