PROSPERITY IS YOUR PORTION

TEXT: JEREMIAH 17:5-8

MEMORY VERSE: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 JOHN 1: 2).

It is very common to see young people in the rat race to ‘make it’ to a point that they are ready to do and give anything to achieve their desires. But, as a child of God, it is pertinent to have a holistic grasp of God’s mind concerning prosperity.

First, prosperity goes beyond having money. It is wealth mixed with health and achievement of set goals. Also, prosperity is only an instrument to be used, not a deity to be worshipped as Calvin Coolidge said.

You do not have to chase after what is yours. In fact, Jesus told us what to pursue. He said: “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

As children of God, it is His desire that we have all round prosperity. Follow His precepts, trust Him firmly, be hardworking, generous, prayerful and resolve never to compromise, and prosperity shall be your portion in Jesus’ name.

QUOTE: Trust Him firmly.

CHALLENGE: Be determined to have all-round prosperity.

PRAYER: O Lord, cause me to prosper in all that I do today.
