It is an overflow of the promises of God which abides in you, that causes you to prosper. The overflow of God’s word brings you the power to prosper Righteous living gives you the boldness before God in getting access into your blessing (Hebrews 4:16). Don’t ever underestimate the power of God’s faith, working through you in righteous living. Your ability to live by faith before God gives you access into the blessing of God in this way. “ God made him (Christ) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
Your covenant by the blood of Christ Jesus, is what positions you before God like them. And you are not different from them today before God. God could not do anything within their sphere of influences, without first giving them inside information about it. These two men (Abraham and Job) were successful and prosperous, because of their righteous living. God on the other hand was bond by the promise to Abraham, of saving the righteous from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham had to continue believing what the Lord told him about Sodom and Gomorrah, by meditating on it until the morning of the next day. God and Abraham were both in covenant with one another. He was watching to see the effect of God’s judgement on the ungodly. So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.” – Genesis 19:27-29 NIVĪfter the Lord spoke to him about the plan to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham still continued in the presence of the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace. “Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord.
Even after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Bible says: God could not hide His judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah from Abraham (Genesis 18:16-33 and 19:27-29). In the case of Job the Devil could not touch his prosperity, without first getting the permission from God (Job 1:1-11 and 2:1-7). In fact the Devil could not touch anything that belonged to both of them. The people around them saw them prospering, in everything that they did. They were both prosperous in their world. The scriptures gave us a good example of this in the lives of both Job and Abraham. He knows that as long as he is a doer of the commands of God, he will always prosper. He will never listen to what his friends, or the world around him are saying. His prosperity may not be seen by those around him yet but as long as he keeps on doing what he is doing, by meditating on God’s word day and night, it will eventually begin to manifest.Ī man like that longs always, to listen and to hear God’s voice at all times. His righteous lifestyle as a doer of the word of God, brings him the goodness of God to be blessed. The celestial beings are all aware of the plan of the Lord to prosper him. But in the real world of the spirit, God’s hand is there to prosper him. His prosperity may not be physically visible, to the world around him initially. The believer who meditates on God’s word day and night is prosperous. 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.” “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
