Genesis 22:14
So Abraham had an encounter with God, God told him to sacrifice his only son (Isaac) and God said no, don’t do it again and he replaced the child with a lamp; and after that encounter he named the place Jehovah the supplier or the source or our sustainer.
Supernatural supply just like any other redemptive benefits; is not something that you beg for, it is not something you have to kneel down in his presence, no, it is something you have to be convinced about; before you asked for it, he has given you and if he has given it already; how do I connect with it?.
- When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
- Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
- Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
- And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
- Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
- Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
- Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
- And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
- But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Deut 8:10-18.
Beware (careful, take heed) this was the time the children of Israel wanted to settle in the promise land and God told them; to be careful, that this fertile land, that you want to settle down; don’t forget your source. If you forget and turn your back on that source it will dry. God led them through the desert where there were dangerous scorpions, snakes, and just physical snake (we are talking about the devil, the manifestation of the wicked spirit) that would have cut them down. God said yes, I led you through the land and deactivated the ability of those snakes and scorpions to harm you, he did not also allow drought (what is drought: it means scarcity) to affect them. So God was telling them to be careful; that the land he has taken them to, it is a land where they will enjoy plenty and the best of everything. So, when you settle down there; don’t “ever” allow it to cross your mind that you did it with your power, because the race is not for the swift. If you look at the world today, there are people that are better than you that have been buried, there are people who have connection with people at the government level or high people in the society who are now in the psychiatry hospital; so there is nothing you have that you didn’t receive, so you should be grateful. God was telling them; don’t let this blessing come into your head; because this is the danger and the reason why some people religiously don’t want to hear about prosperity message. Some will even say I don’t want to be rich, so that I won’t sin against you (God). That is satanic deception; because it is not the riches or success that will make you to sin, but it is when you chose to turn your back on God; because God from the foundation of the world never created you to beg or lack any good thing. We need to understand it; that when you’re not convinced about it, the devil can’t take the advantage of your ignorance and manipulate you.
God said, I am the one that giveth thee power to get wealth (this word get wealth it doesn’t means to receive wealth, it means to create wealth). God said he his the one that gives you ability to create wealth; to take steps to discover supernatural ideas that will make you to become successful, because if something is not working; it means there is something that needs to be fixed there. When anything is not working in your life; don’t say that it’s my fate or this is my lot, no! If something is not working; then something is wrong, rather analyse the system; what is making it to be in this state, what is it that am suppose to do that I have not done. You analyse the situation and use the mind of Christ that he has given unto you to discover why the situation is not working. And God said I am the one that giveth you power to get wealth (so wealth is to be created and it will involve the use of your brain and mind) . Every where you see success or good that you desire; it means the brain is at work. So why did God give power to get wealth? It is so that he may establish the covenant which he sworn to your fore fathers. We need to understand that supernatural supply, just like any other redemptive benefit has been given to us “Freely” through the price that Jesus paid; his death, burial, resurrection purchased this for us. So the qualification is not because we are Africans, Asians, Americans… the qualification is for you to be a human being and be in covenant. Since the gift of God is without repentance; we can’t undo what God has done (some will say God gave me money and he took it back) God doesn’t do that, maybe religiously we have been programmed to believe that God gives and take ( that’s a lie) the bible says the gift of God are without repentance (without repentance: means he doesn’t change his mind) because before you asked for it, he has given you. Before you’re created, like (Genesis 1:1-31) everything that the man will need was already created, and so man was the last thing that he created, why? Because he wants to make sure that everything the man will need to be able to fulfill his purpose has been created.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
