SO SHALL YE PROSPER
MEMORY VERSE: - 2Ch 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
BIBLE READING: - Psalm 1: 1 – 6
MESSAGE
Jehoshaphat, king of Judah had the right attitude during troublous times; when the Moabites, Amorites and Mount Seir come against Judah to battle, he set himself to seek help from God and he proclaimed prayer and fasting. While they were in the presence of God with their little ones, the word of prophecy came:
2Ch 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
When Jehoshaphat heard this, he worshipped the Lord and inspiringly told the people to believe in God for stability and strength and believe also God’s prophets for their prosperity.
He believed the word spoken by Jahaziel the son of Zachariah, the Levite as the word of God and encouraged the people to do likewise and at the end the enemies were conquered through the help of God.
They enemies were unable to take their possessions from them because they believed the words spoken by the prophet. Bible is the word of God whenever you read it, believe it, act it out and you will prosper in all your endeavours.
The scripture says if you are not a forgetful hearer of the word, but a doer of the word, you will prosper in all you do.
Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Jesus declared that if any man loves him he will do his word; himself and father will love that person and will make their abode with him [John 14:23]. God was with Joseph and he prospered everywhere he turned; this God had not changed, he will prosper you if you diligently hearken to his word and do it. If God is truly with you, you cannot beg for bread, he will bless you.
Therefore, believe your pastors as they preach the undiluted words of God to you, act out the words and you shall prosper.
Paying of tithe and offering is another good way of receiving blessings from the Lord, but obedience to every jot or tittle of the word of God is better. Joseph in Egypt sowed only obedience and it was possible for God who delights in the prosperity of his children to be with him.
Believe the word of God from your pastors, teachers, leaders and evangelists; and shall be prospered by God.
Confession of the Day
Prosperity in all ramifications are mine as I live according to his words of prophecy.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved the

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they

SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS

May 3 SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — PHILIPPIANS 4:19 It is God’s will that our needs be met. All of them! Philippians 4:19 includes all of your needs (all means all!), whether spiritual, physical, material, or financial. Believe that! Lest someone think that God is not concerned about our financial needs, this verse is set in a context which discusses material and financial affairs. Read it and you will see that the Philippians had taken up an offering of money and goods to send to other Christians. Paul was telling them, “Because you have given to others and have helped them, my God shall supply all your need.” So Paul was talking about material and financial matters. With what boldness, then, we can pray for finances to meet our obligations! Having all of our needs met is according to God’s will! Confession: When I pray concerning finances, I pray according to God’s Word — His will. Therefore, I am confid
