INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYERS OF THE DAY

God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His children. He wants us to live in abundance. He wants us to eat bread without scarceness. God does not want us to lack the good things of life. He wants us to have dominion over poverty. Poverty is not a sin but it is a great sickness. Poverty is destructive. It destroys and diminishes. It is a forerunner of disgrace and shame. It ruins destiny. It makes one to sin against God … “Lest I be poor and steal and take the name of my God in vain” (Prov. 30:8).

It has been rightly said that “A poor Church cannot help a poor generation. A poor Church cannot help a lost generation” This is why every believer must obtain dominion over poverty. There are many good projects and programmes that are abandoned due to lack of fund. Where there is poverty; there is lack, pressure, tension and affection.

When there is poverty in a Church that Church will be so limited and beset with multiple collections. When there is poverty in a family, there will be frustration, embarrassment, borrowing, affliction and limitation.

God wants both the believers and the local Church to enjoy financial overflow so that we can serve Him without distraction. He wants us to operate from the realm of more than enough. God wants to bless us in abundance (beyond measure) so that we can become comfortable enough in pursuing our heavenly race and also have enough money to do the work of evangelism/Church planting.

Today, the Mission needs massive resources to ensure that the gospel of the kingdom reaches every nation of the earth, using all possible means- satellite, internet etc. Indeed, our Mission needs financial overflow to propagate the preaching of the total gospel to the dying world.

Similarly, every family needs financial overflow to enjoy the good things of life in season and out of season.

Truly, we need financial prosperity. Believers and local Church can do more good with money than without money. Poverty hinders rapid physical development both in the Church and family. You must overcome poverty. This is a serious battle. Jesus became poor so that we might become rich both spiritually and materially.
