Tuesday daily devotional by Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Word Diet, 3rd July 2018) – BE PROSPEROUS! (3)

Remember that GOD, your God, gave you the strength to produce all this wealth so as to confirm the covenant that he promised to your ancestors – as it is today. Deuteronomy 8:18 (MSG).

There are certain principles that one must inculcate in life for hat individual to experience the God designed prosperity. Before we go into these principles, it is important to know that not all prosperity comes from God.

For this reason, Joshua 1:8 says,

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

This good success is the God–designed success. Your ability to prosper the God–kind of way is dependent on how you hold on to the Word.

Understand this; the principles of success would make you prosperous. But, when a man adds these principles to the Word of God, he would be super prosperous; such a man would prosper the God kind of way.

The God-kind of success goes beyond a man’s finances. It stretches forth into his health, his state of mind, and his family. The difference between the prosperity of a believer and an unbeliever is the introduction of the word.

The very first principle of prosperity is accountability. Accountability is synonymous with faithfulness. Take a look at what God’s Word has to say about accountability.

Luke 19:17 says,

And he said unto him, well, thou good servant because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
