MEMORISE: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.Joshua 1:8
READ: Luke 13:6-9
MESSAGE The first lesson l want us to learn in today’s devotional reading is that God delighted in our prosperity and this is why He gave us His commandments
As we progress in this second half of the year, we should take note of the factors that will aid our all-round prosperity. Some people misinterpret or do not know why the rich man in Luke 12:16-21 died the way he did at the peak of his prosperity. It was simply because he did not acknowledge God as the source of his wealth. He was also so engrossed in acquiring wealth that he did not know when his time was up; hence he did not prepare for eternity (Luke 16:21). His error was not that he became rich because as a matter of fact, God is interested in the prosperity of His children.
The Bible says in 3 John 2: Beloved, l wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. The Bible says further that God gives the power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18).
