COVENANT OF PROSPERITY

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the LORD be magnified, Who has PLEASURE in the PROSPERITY of His servant – Psalm 35:27

Although the Message on Prosperity has been abused by some preachers and often received with suspicion, this does not negate the truth that God is desirous of the overall wellbeing of His people, including their financial prosperity. Whatever the aversions may be, PROSPERITY IS IN THE COVENANT. God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servants (Ps.35:27). Moreover, “the blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it” (Pro.10:22).

Prosperity isn't just an appendage in God’s Word, but a core and integral part of it. The promises of prosperity and the link with keeping the Covenant constantly recur in the scriptures. Ponder on these:

• IF YOU walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them, then I WILL give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit (Lev.26:3-4). Notice: “If you…then I will”!
• Therefore keep the WORDS of this COVENANT, and do them, that you may PROSPER IN ALL that you do (Dt.29:9).
• 2 Chronicles 31:21 testified of Hezekiah: “And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. SO HE PROSPERED.”

The reality of the Christian experience is that God has bequeathed to us an inheritance of inestimable value. This is not just a promise to be awaited in the “sweet by and by”, but an experience that is available to us here and now, sealed by covenant, and ratified by the blood of God’s dear Son. Abundant provision is our covenant-privilege: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich”

When you are grounded in the revelation of Covenant Prosperity, rather than embrace poverty as piety, you’ll always expect the attendant blessings of the covenant. You will engage in your daily activities conscious of your privileges in the covenant. The LORD is your Shepherd; you will not lack (Ps.23:1). God wants you to prosper in all that you do. In the words of 3John 2: “Beloved, I pray that you may PROSPER IN ALL THINGS and be in health, just as your SOUL PROSPERS”!
