The Key to Multi-Dimensional Prosperity
The Key to Multi-dimensional Prosperity
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isaiah 55 v 11
The Word of God comes from the mouth of God and that is what makes it powerful and effective. It is the living Word that grows organically from deep within us. Like an egg when it is broken from inside, grows into a new life but an egg that is broken from outside dies, the Word grows from within us. It will not fail in fulfilling the purpose of God in our lives. As long as the Word occupies a central place in our hearts and minds, our lives will not be futile or vain or empty. The Word is irrevocable and authoritative. When we speak the Word of God, we become the mouthpiece of spokespersons of the Lord. The Word is the index of the will of God in our lives. We are called to conform to the Word and not to the world. Our lives are transformed when we conform to the Word. When a leech is stuck to the human body, it falls off the moment salt is applied around it. Similarly, the Word is the salt that makes our lives tasty and worthwhile. It is also the salt that when applied around the leech of the world’s desires, the leech will be repulsed and fall off.
Jesus said that the Word of God is like seed. He also said that faith in the Word is like a mustard seed, the smallest of seeds. When we store the Word in our hearts and minds, these become the spiritual granary of the Lord. If and when we have a particular need, we should plant the seed of the Word in our hearts and minds. Like a seed grows and sprouts, the Word will grow, sprout and bear fruit in our lives. The Word has an embryonic nature. As it impregnates and saturates our minds, it will send forth a shoot. It will then develop branches and leaves, nodes, buds, flowers and fruits. It will certainly accomplish the pleasing will of God in our lives. Since the Word is invincible or it is impossible to annul it or cancel its power or to withdraw it, it is a most powerful weapon to defeat every weapon of darkness. When we store the Word, we become a quiver of God, an armoury of God.
The Lord needs to send a specific Word to specific people in specific situations. He will cause it to prosper in the situation to which He sends it. He causes the Word to prosper in the soul in which it is implanted. The Word is a source of strength in times of adversity. It is also the key to multi-dimensional growth and prosperity. The prosperity that the Word blesses us with is a multi-dimensional holistic growth and development. The Lord desires that we grow or prosper in the fruit of the Spirit- the nine attributes that develop in each of us as we intake the Word and obey it. He desires that we also grow and prosper in the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. Prosperity in the external resources, manifestations and blessings of this life that follows incidentally should not distance us from the Lord or make us dependent or focussed on these. The Word not only induces hope and faith in our lives but it becomes the very means for fulfilment of that hope and faith.
