RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL
GOD’S IDEA FOR YOUR PROSPERITY

And 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).
When you align your life with God’s instructions, for example, in the area of finances, one of the immediate blessings you’re likely to observe is that your expenditure keeps getting lower. It’s another facet of God’s blessing. He doesn’t just bless you by increasing your income, He also blesses you by reducing your expenditure. Why is that so?
It’s part of the result of the grace of God at work in your life; recall what we read in our opening scripture. Furthermore, He also made provision to keep the devourer away from you: “…I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts” (Malachi 3:11).
The devourer is Satan or whatever he uses to consume or eat away your resources and your finances. Examples are damages, repairs and losses leading to high cost of maintenance. The Bible says, “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” (Proverbs 10:22).
God won’t bless you and then have you toil, struggle and spend so much to keep or maintain what He’s given you. His idea for your prosperity is addition or multiplication and abundance, not replacements. But you must act on His Word. He instructs you to bring your tithes, offerings and oblations and challenges you to prove Him. He says not only will you receive an abundance, the devourer will have no access to what belongs to you. In other words, you won’t have a car that constantly needs repairs. You’ll suffer no damage or losses requiring costly fixes.
Consider yourself so blessed that everything that comes to you works perfectly, lasts long and serves its purpose. Just as you’re God’s excellent handiwork, fashioned for good works, He has also ordained for your possessions to last, your resources to be preserved, and your finances to be supernaturally sustained. This is your reality in Christ. The key is speaking and doing His Word.
CONFESSION
The devourer has no place in my life, my finances, or my possessions, because I’m a doer of the Word. I walk in supernatural prosperity, where my income increases and my expenditure is divinely reduced. I live in perpetual abundance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
