DAILY NOURISHMENT (DEVOTION FOR 365 DAYS)
DATE: MAY 3, 2023
TOPIC: GOD WANT YOU TO PROSPER
TEXT: Psalm 35:27
“Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant .”
The two key words here are PLEASURE & SERVANT
NOTE that the word “servant” is singular!
The Lord ☝️ recognizes only one servant and we must us all be the pattern of such in order for prosperity to come.
A servant is the one who does the will of his master.
David became a case study we should all emulate.
What David is simply saying here is that the quick way to become prosperous divinely is to find out what the master want you do and do it.
God sent Moses to tell Pharoah
“Let my people go that they may serve me”
Immediately after, the Egyptians gave them their gold.
They already received the gold before their service commenced.
Wilderness was where they received the training on how the service would look like by the time they get to the cannan land where God was taking them.
Read how the training looks like:
“Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.”
Some may be reading this and say it ended in their days. Let me read how the new testament made reference to that.
“I don’t want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters,a about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago…… These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did, or worship idols as some of them did”
1 Corinthians 10:1-6

The Lord humbled them to make them hungry and then fed them. They soon forgot the training.
God was training them to know that He took pleasure in their prosperity but that the reason is that they might also know that, He created his people for His own pleasure.
It does means, if God Almighty is not getting pleasure from what He gave them, then they are not they true servant.
Many believers presently are going through training and they keep repeating the same exam in the wilderness of their life.
Do you know that, all the gold was later to be used to build the temple of Solomon.
Do you know that, there are Christians who do not give God a portion out of the money they receive, except offering.
Even an offering to them is simply donations
These people had started showing their true colors even before getting to cannan.
Am closer to 50. So, I saw both the old and the new generation. We were trained at home very well in those day. Infact, till today, whenever I want to go visit someone at home, i would quickly buy one or two things to take along. It is called home training.
You see this new generation, some(not all) they go empty. Not even buy bread or biscuits for children in the house they will stay for days.
When they get to the house, they go to kitchen and refrigerator, and say “what do you have in this house”
Imagine Jesus stood before the offering box and a woman gave her all. Just little coins. It is called home training. It is not how much but the attitude.
The worst part are people who ask men of God to pray for them and after ask for money. Haaaa!
Nothing wrong is wrong if a man of God blesses you with prayers and then food or money. Jesus did the same. But remember Jesus later said “the poor you will always have in among you.”
If you always receive from them and you don’t give back, it may not be the best for you.
Cultivate the habit of giving to men of God. Give to admin members. It may be data. Give to your Coordinators. Give to those who minister to you spiritual things. It is an attitude.
Saul and his servants were looking for donkey and at the same time searching their pockets to give Prophet Samuel something when they meet.
I don’t receive money from people. Whatever anyone ever gave to me, it was given to those in charge of financial dept. and they in turn give back to the needy.
I work with my hands and I give to my pastors around the world.
Whenever God conclude a person to be a selfish person in during his or her wilderness exam, such person don’t get to cannan(prosperity)
You have to be a servant for the pleasure of God to prosper in your life.
If you have been blessed, send this to at least 5 or more on your contact list.
