COVENANT PROSPERITY
“But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.”
Deuteronomy 8:18(WEB)
Main Text: Deuteronomy 29:9
What is God’s reason for prospering His people? Is it so we can buy bigger TVs? Or so we can buy finer houses and more luxurious cars? Establishing God’s covenant on the earth and giving to those in need: Those are God’s purpose for prosperity! You might be saying to yourself, Jesus’ ministry was poor and got along fine — that’s ridiculous! All through the Old Testament, God promised material blessings to anyone who would walk uprightly and perfectly before Him. If God had failed to bless Jesus financially, He would have been breaking His own Word.
Jesus never built a worldly empire for Himself, but that doesn’t mean He was poor. It means He was the greatest giver who ever walked the face of the earth. What do you think will happen to the hearts of starving nations when you bring in a bag full of food, clothes, and medical supplies to them in the name of Jesus and His love? The hearts of those people will soften! They’re going to want to hear about your Jesus.
Forget your own little needs. Raise your vision and set your mind on giving to meet someone else’s need, thereby, establishing God’s covenant on the earth.
Confession:
Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law. Christ has redeemed me from poverty. Christ has redeemed me from sickness. Jesus has delivered me from poverty and given me wealth – I sow bountifully, I give cheerfully, and God is able to make all grace come to me in abundance. I am blessed.
