Is this the secret to your prosperity?

The Scriptures reveal that God desires that we prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers. In Deuteronomy 8:18 He declares: “And you shall remember the Lord 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 this day”. Psalms 1:3 declares: man that delights in the Lord and meditates on His word day and night will prosper in whatever he does. The key here is the consistent application of God’s word and principles in ones life. There is a grace to prosper in your life if you choose to receive it and walk in it. The analogy of a tree planted by the rivers of water give the picture of one remaining close to God and His word. Because of this practice, you will always have all the wisdom, provision, strength and health that you need to accomplish all the He calls you to do. If you haven’t yet, begin now to plant yourself right next to the rivers of God’s word and wisdom.

Psalms 1:3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.

The right time and season!

The Proverbist once wrote: “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). There are correct times and seasons to sow, to be born, to invest, to speak, to remain quiet, etc. We have the God-given authority to make our own decisions and live the way we choose. And in doing so, many times we make decisions outside of the correct timing or season. Due to this, some of the things we do will not succeed. 1 Peter 5:6 says: “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time.” The word “appropriate” in this verse contains a powerful principle. It means “due season,  proper time, time of visitation, appointed time, His own good time, the right time, His timing.” God has a perfect time in His will to exalt, promote or prosper you in the place of His service. This includes everything you need to accomplish His purpose in your life. So instead of praying for God to prosper you, may I suggest that you pray to God to give you discernment regarding His timing as you serve Him. This way, you won’t get ahead of His timing, and you won’t miss your time of visitation. After all, to everything there is a correct and and accurate time and season!
