Topic:
Prosperity Mind Set
Text: Haggai 2:1-9
You
need to have proper attitude in other to achieve the divine plan
for your life concerning the subject of prosperity Haggai 2:8
says: “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the
Lord of host.” Anybody who makes such a claim cannot be
regarded as poor. Silver and gold are just two minerals in the
bowers of the earth. There are lots more like coal, diamond, oil
and so on.
In
Psalms 104:24, the Bible says: “O Lord, how manifold are
thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full
of thy riches.” The earth is full of the riches of the Lord.
I had a friend who as one of the riches men ever to live in this
country. By the time he died, he had two hundred and fifty six
million U.S. dollars in Australia alone, not to talk of the money
in America, or Switzerland, or here in Nigeria. Rich as he was,
his wealth did not fill the whole earth.
However,
the wealth of God fills the whole earth. God is not poor at all,
by all, by any standard. It is also clear that the closest friends
of God were wealthy people. When Moses asked for God’s name,
the Almighty God introduced Himself as. “I AM THAT I AM”
(Exodus 3:14). He went further to say, “I am the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” He said
“that will be my Name forever.” That means, if they
ask of God’s three closest friends, the men are: Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. Those three people that God called His friends
were by no means poor. Genesis 13:2 talks about Abraham: “And
Abraham was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.”
Let us see Isaac in Genesis 26:12-14: “Then Isaac sowed
in that land, and received in the same year an hundred fold: and
the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward,
and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of
flocks and possession of herds, and great store of servants; and
the Philistines envied him.” A whole nation envied one man!
Memory Verse: Psalms 104:24, the Bible says: “O Lord, how
manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the
earth is full of thy riches.”
