PROSPERITY: GOD'S WAY - By Carlos R.W, Kirimbai

Carlos R.W. Kirimbai
I believe this brief message will challenge and encourage each one of us to step out boldly and DO what the Lord has laid on our hearts to do as we take practical steps to walk into the prosperity that God has for us. God feeds the birds of the air but doesn't put food in their nests, we are many times much more precious than the birds to Him and He has promised to meet all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  

It is my prayer that you will be uplifted by this message from my brother and good friend Carlos R.W. Kirimbai, of Manna Tabernacle Bible Church, Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.
************************************************************************


1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
    Nor stands in the path of sinners,
    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

    And in His law he meditates day and night.
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.Psalm 1:1 – 3 NKJV

If you are in Christ, you are blessed already, and as you live by the Spirit, you will not walk in the counsel of the ungodly , nor will you stand in the path of sinners, and you certainly won’t sit in the seat of the scornful, but you will be meditating on the Word of God and as you do you will make your way prosperous and have good success.

You will notice that the last part of Psalms 1: 3 states, "…whatever he does shall prosper."

Saints, there is what to DO to prosper.

Prosperity is not a just a result of prayer or of being prayed for.

There is what to do to prosper.

God doesn't just bless the prayers of the saints, He blesses the works of their hands.

He commands his blessing over the works of your hands.

I understand prayer but just as the Lord taught us, prayer only releases the daily bread level of prosperity. You just get by.

It's like the children of Israel when travelling in the wilderness. They received daily provisions from God. They did not lack but they did not walk in abundance either, they had enough.

The land of promise they were headed to was a land of abundance, a land of more than enough; they were promised a land that flowed with milk and honey.

It would have been a tragedy if the children of Israel would have thought that they would find literal rivers of milk and honey in the promised land.

It was a land with an abundance of cows that they needed to milk and an abundance of bees and bee hives whose honey they needed to harvest.

God will give you the power to get wealth not wealth. Wealth is gotten and He graciously empowers you to get it.

Saints of the Most High get a working by applying Kingdom principles in the doing of the work and the faithful stewardship of the fruit of that work and you are on your way up.

Blessings!
