Meditate on: Proverbs 28:8 NIV
« Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor, amasses it for another who will be kind to the poor. »
Read: Isaiah 61:1-6GNT
1 The Sovereign Lord has filled me with his Spirit. He has chosen me and sent me to bring good news to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to announce release to captives, and freedom to those in prison.
2 He has sent me to proclaim that the time has come when the Lord will save his people and defeat their enemies. He has sent me to comfort all who mourn,
3 To give to those who mourn in Zion, Joy and gladness instead of grief, a song of praise instead of sorrow. They will be like trees that the Lord himself has planted. They will all do what is right, And God will be praised for what he has done. 4 They will rebuild cities that have long been in ruins.
5 My people, foreigners will serve you. They will take care of your flocks and farm your land and tend your vineyards.
6 And you will be known as the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God. You will enjoy the wealth of the nations and be proud that it is yours.
Understand:
Every time I make a pronouncement that wealth will change hands, my children in the Lord usually shout “Amen”, but I believe they don’t fully understand what I am saying.
If they really understood, they would not need to say “Amen”, because I am only echoing the word of God that is already settled in heaven for ever (Psalm 119:89).
Rather than say “Amen’, I would prefer that they act on the conditions that will bring this prophetic word of God to pass in their lives.
If you are a child of God, I announce (not pray) that wealth will change hands for your favor, and your songs of “not enough” shall change to “more than enough” in Jesus’ Name. I am declaring this to you for your information and necessary action.
In Isaiah 61:4-5 NKJV the Holy Spirit declares:
“And they will rebuild the ancient ruins, and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruin cities, that have been devastated for generations. Strangers will stand and feed your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards”.
For this to happen, we must pay close attention to the mistakes of those from whose hands wealth will come into ours.
Our memory verse reveals some of their mistakes. Because they increase and gather their wealth unjustly, God is saying that their wealth shall be taken away from them and be given to those who will pity the poor.
If you are awaiting the transfer of wealth that is to come, are you ready to consider the poor and reach out to them with this wealth?
If your answer is yes, I congratulate you because God’s word will be fulfilled in your life.
Those who will receive the wealth of the wicked are those ready and willing to redistribute the commonwealth of the populace, stolen by greedy treasury looters and lying fallow in both local and foreign accounts.
Isaiah 61:6 GWT is food for thought for those who want to partake of the divine wealth transfer that is to come. It says:
« You will be called the priests of the LORD. You will be called the servants of our God. You will consume the wealth of the nations. You will boast in their splendor. »
In other words, to qualify for the fulfillment of God’s prophetic word on wealth transfer, your lifestyle must be in tandem with what He requires of His priests and ministers.
Some of these requirements are that His ministers and priests should not indulge in strong drink (Titus 1:7, Proverbs 31:4-5, Isaiah 28:7), nor should they be married to more than one spouse (1 Timothy 3:2).
Do you measure up to His standards?
With the little God has blessed you with, do you remember the poor? These are the pertinent questions you need to ask today.
God bless you.
Prayer point: Father, I open my hands this day to receive the wealth of the ungodly for the purpose of expanding Your Kingdom.
