UNUSUAL PROSPERITY

“And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.”
1 Kings 3:13
Main Text: Main Text: 3 John 2

God’s ways are unchanging; He has always wanted His people blessed and honored in life. This exemplifies some of the redemptive treasures Jesus bore for us when He died on the cross. Revelation 5:12 says, "Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing." One of the benefits we enjoy from the death of our Lord Jesus is wealth and riches. God desires that man be wealthy, reflecting His blessings and favor in our lives. Embrace the fullness of these redemptive treasures, knowing that God’s desire is for you to prosper and be honored.

Psalm 112:3 declares, "Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever." We are the righteousness of God in Christ, therefore, wealth and riches must be in our house because God’s Word commands it. God added wealth to King Solomon, and he used it to finance kingdom projects. Jesus said, "A greater than Solomon is here," which means God desires to bless you with wealth beyond what He gave Solomon. This implies that we are blessed twice as much as Solomon and must engage in twice as many kingdom projects. Jesus wants you blessed abundantly!

Rest in God, for you are an heir of His blessings. He wants you rich, not just to take care of your family but to possess the nations and make the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our God! Embrace His provision and use it to further His kingdom, knowing that His desire is for you to prosper and impact the world for His glory.

Confession:

In the Name of Jesus, I boldly declare that I am blessed, I prosper in all I do, and I am blessed in my body, my finances, and all that pertains to me. I am blessed by the Lord, and His favor surrounds me like a shield. I experience His blessings in every area of my life. I prosper in all that I do. Everything I put my hands to is blessed and succeeds. I walk in the abundance and prosperity that God has promised me.

Deuteronomy 28:3-6 "You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out."

Psalm 1:3 "That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers."
