GOD'S KINGDOM SPREADS THROUGH THE PROSPERITY OF HIS PEOPLE  (Part 2) 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

"Believe in the LORD your God... believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper." — 2 Chronicles 20:20 (KJV)

Bible Reading

Isaiah 45:1-3; 2 Chronicles 20:1-25; Matthew 17:21; Ezra 8:21-23; Joshua 1:8.

   Kingdom prosperity is spiritual warfare. Isaiah 45 reveals that before hidden treasures are released, God first breaks gates of brass, cuts bars of iron, and removes obstacles. Prosperity often follows spiritual victory.

   Jehoshaphat understood this principle. When Judah faced overwhelming enemies, he did not depend solely on military strength. He proclaimed a national fast, sought the Lord in prayer, and received prophetic direction. Their victory came because they trusted both God's Word and His prophetic instruction.

   Prayer invites heaven's intervention. Fasting weakens the influence of the flesh and strengthens spiritual sensitivity. The prophetic anointing releases divine direction and confidence. These three remain powerful kingdom weapons today.

The enemy fights prosperity because every financial breakthrough in the hands of righteous believers becomes a weapon for evangelism, discipleship, church planting, missions, Christian education, and compassionate ministry.

  Isaac prospered during famine because God blessed him (Genesis 26:12-14). Joseph prospered after seasons of suffering because God was with him (Genesis 39:2-3). Daniel prospered under hostile governments because he remained faithful to God (Daniel 6:28).

Your prosperity is not accidental; it is part of God's kingdom strategy.

DAILY CONFESSION

+The Lord goes before me to break every gate of limitation. Hidden treasures are released into my life. +Through prayer, fasting, and obedience to God's Word, I walk in supernatural prosperity for His glory.

REFLECTION

+Have I made prayer and fasting part of my pursuit of God's purpose?

+Do I seek God's direction before major financial decisions?

+Am I preparing to use increase for kingdom expansion?

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to get wealth

Father, go before me and destroy every gate resisting my increase. As I seek You through prayer and fasting, release divine wisdom, favour, and supernatural opportunities. Let every hidden treasure assigned to my destiny be revealed. Prosper me for the sake of Your kingdom, in Jesus' name. Amen.

GOD'S KINGDOM SPREADS THROUGH THE PROSPERITY OF HIS PEOPLE (Part 1)

 The anointing of God's favour is opening up new opportunities for your  financial breakthroughs 

Good Life Daily Devotional : 

GOD'S KINGDOM SPREADS THROUGH THE PROSPERITY OF HIS PEOPLE (Part 1)

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

"Again proclaim, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad..." — Zechariah 1:17 (KJV)

Bible Reading

Zechariah 1:17-21; 1 Corinthians 16:9; 1 Thessalonians 2:18; Deuteronomy 8:18; 2 Corinthians 9:8-11.

   Many Christians view prosperity as merely the acquisition of wealth. Scripture presents a higher purpose. God declared through Zechariah that His cities would spread through prosperity. This reveals that kingdom prosperity is designed to advance God's redemptive agenda. When God's people prosper, churches are built, missionaries are sent, Bibles are printed, the poor are cared for, and the Gospel reaches new territories.

    The four horns in Zechariah 1:18-19 symbolize satanic powers and earthly systems that scatter God's people through war, oppression, bad governance , poverty, economic collapse, persecution, and fear. Satan understands that if believers remain financially crippled, many kingdom assignments will remain unfinished.

   This explains why Paul said, "A great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries" (1 Corinthians 16:9). Every genuine opportunity for kingdom expansion attracts spiritual opposition. Paul also confessed that "Satan hindered us" (1 Thessalonians 2:18). Satan not only attacks people but also attacks opportunities, resources, and strategic partnerships.

   The encouraging truth is that God also prepared four craftsmen (Zechariah 1:20-21) to cast down every horn. God always has greater power than the forces opposing His Church. No satanic agenda can permanently frustrate God's covenant.

   God still gives His people power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18), not merely for personal luxury but to establish His covenant throughout the earth.

DAILY CONFESSION

  I receive divine power to prosper. Every horn assigned to scatter my family, business, ministry, and destiny is broken in Jesus' name. I am a kingdom financier, and through my prosperity the Gospel shall spread to many nations.

REFLECTION

+Am I viewing prosperity as God's kingdom resource rather than personal gain?

+What ministry can I support more effectively as God prospers me?

+Which "horn" must I confront through faith and prayer?

PRAYER Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome poverty. 

Father, thank You for ordaining that Your kingdom should spread through the prosperity of Your people. Every power assigned to scatter my finances, business, family, ministry, and health, be destroyed in Jesus' name. Raise divine craftsmen to overthrow every satanic opposition against my destiny. Empower me to prosper for the advancement of Your kingdom. Amen.

GOD GIVES SEED TO THE SOWER

 Unexpected financial breakthroughs shall locate you because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: GOD GIVES SEED TO THE SOWER

 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   "Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness." — 2 Corinthians 9:10 (KJV)

     God's pattern has never changed: He prospers His people so they may become channels of blessing. Prosperity is not merely for personal enjoyment but for advancing the Kingdom of God ( Zechariah 1;17)    After bringing Israel through fire and water, God led them into a wealthy place (Psalm 66:12). Their first response was not self-indulgence but worship, thanksgiving and the fulfilment of vows (Psalm 66:13-17).

    Throughout Scripture, God entrusted resources to those committed to His purposes. Abraham became a blessing to the nations (Genesis 12:2-3). Solomon received extraordinary wealth, and rulers from every nation honoured him with gifts annually (1 Kings 10:22-25). David, while in distress, received support from loyal men whom God stirred to strengthen him until he became king (1 Chronicles 12:22). Likewise, the Philippian church repeatedly supported Paul's missionary work, and God promised to supply all their needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:15-19).

    Paul taught that "God is able to make all grace abound toward you" (2 Corinthians 9:8). He supplies seed to those willing to sow, multiplying their generosity and increasing the fruits of righteousness. Spiritual indebtedness is therefore not a burden but a privilege. It reflects gratitude, faith and partnership with God's redemptive work. 

    Neglecting covenant commitments weakens spiritual growth, but faithful giving positions believers for greater stewardship (Luke 16:10-12).

If God has rescued you, prospered your business, opened doors of employment or granted increase, remember your vows. Honour Him with your substance (Proverbs 3:9-10). The Lord delights in blessing those who use His provision to expand His Kingdom and proclaim the Gospel to every nation.

    In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's Word and a heart that  delights in Kingdom oriented giving . 

PRAYER : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive Him  as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to break the yoke of poverty in my family and community.

ABOUND IN THIS GRACE ALSO

 

The anointing of God's favour upon you  shall give the persons concerned with your promotion no rest until they do the needful 
Good -Life Devotional: ABOUND IN THIS GRACE ALSO

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Text: "Therefore, as ye abound in every thing... see that ye abound in this grace also." — 2 Corinthians 8:7 (KJV)
    The New Testament continues the principle of spiritual indebtedness. After Jesus cleansed the leper, He commanded him, "Go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded" (Matthew 8:4). The miracle did not cancel covenant responsibility; rather, God's blessing called for grateful obedience.
    The Apostle Paul appealed to the Corinthians to imitate the Macedonian churches (2 Corinthians 8:1-7). Though enduring deep poverty and severe trials, the Macedonians gave generously because they first gave themselves to the Lord. Paul therefore urged the Corinthians to "abound in this grace also." The church at Philippi likewise partnered consistently with Paul's ministry, sending support more than once for his necessities (Philippians 4:15-19). Their generosity became "an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God," and Paul declared, "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
    Neglecting spiritual indebtedness is counterproductive to faith because faith expresses itself through obedience and grateful stewardship. Malachi 3:10 declares that honouring God opens the windows of heaven. Proverbs 3:9-10 teaches that honouring the Lord with our substance brings increase. God gives seed to the sower and multiplies what is sown (2 Corinthians 9:8-11).
    Whenever God rescues you from         distress, remember your vows. Let His blessing upon your business, profession and opportunities become a testimony of thanksgiving. The Lord delights in prospering His servants, not merely for personal comfort, but so His kingdom advances, His Gospel spreads, and His name is glorified through faithful and joyful giving.
  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and prosperity and a giving spirit to promote the gospel .
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive Him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome poverty and stagnation.

GOD WILL PROSPER YOU TO CLEAR YOUR SPIRITUAL INDEBTEDNESS

 

The anointing of God's favour is bringing you to a bigger and better platform for your prosperity.

GOD WILL PROSPER YOU TO CLEAR YOUR SPIRITUAL INDEBTEDNESS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
   Text: "Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place... I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows." — Psalm 66:12-13 (KJV)
   Every believer may pass through seasons of fire and water—times of affliction, financial hardship, disappointment and persecution. Yet God's purpose is not to leave His children in lack but to bring them into "a wealthy place." The Hebrew expression is revayah (רְוָיָה), meaning abundance, saturation, overflowing satisfaction, prosperity and a place of refreshment. God's prosperity is covenantal; it equips His people to honour Him and fulfil their spiritual obligations.
   Notice that immediately after entering the wealthy place, the psalmist declared, "I will pay thee my vows." Prosperity was connected to worship, thanksgiving and covenant commitment. During distress, many believers make vows to God, promising to support His work if He grants deliverance. When God answers, those vows should be remembered and fulfilled. Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 warns that it is better not to vow than to vow and fail to pay.
    God prospered Solomon so that silver became plentiful, and kings from every nation brought him gifts year after year (1 Kings 10:22-25). Likewise, while David was in distress, God raised faithful men who strengthened and supplied him until he became a mighty king (1 Chronicles 12:22). The Lord can bless your business, your employment, your investments and your ideas. He can move people to show you goodwill and favour.
Psalm 40:14-15 reminds us that those who oppose God's purposes are put to shame, but the faithful rejoice in His salvation. Therefore, let prosperity become an opportunity to honour God rather than forget Him. The God who brings you into abundance expects grateful hearts that fulfil their covenant commitments.
   May the Lord prosper the work of your hands and make you faithful in every vow you have made to Him.
PRAYER : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive Him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to prosper and be in good health.

SPIRITUAL INDEBTEDNESS – PART 2

You shall soon forget about your losses because of an extraordinary recovery because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional:
SPIRITUAL INDEBTEDNESS – PART 2
-The Blessing of Gospel Partnership-
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Text: 2 Corinthians 9:8
   God never overlooks those who invest in His kingdom. After commending the generosity of the Macedonian and Philippian churches, Paul assured believers that "God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work" (2 Corinthians 9:8).    Kingdom generosity never impoverishes God's people; it positions them to experience His abundant provision (Proverbs 3:9–10; Luke 6:38; Malachi 3:10).
    Conversely, neglecting our spiritual indebtedness has serious consequences. When faithful ministers are unsupported, missionary work declines, churches remain spiritually immature, and fewer people hear the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. The result is exactly what Isaiah lamented: "Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge" (Isaiah 5:13). Hosea echoed the same truth: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). A society deprived of sound biblical teaching inevitably experiences moral confusion, corruption, oppression, and spiritual bondage.
    The spread of the gospel depends upon believers who willingly partner with those whom God has called to preach. Through prayer, generous giving, and practical support, Christians become fellow workers in God's mission (3 John 5–8). Paul reminded the Corinthians that "he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully" (2 Corinthians 9:6), while the Philippians received God's promise: "My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19).
    Let us never forget our spiritual indebtedness. By faithfully supporting the preaching of the gospel, we help set captives free, strengthen Christ's Church, and extend God's kingdom to future generations.
  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and grace for creativity and productivity .
PRAYER . Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive Him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome poverty .
