Psalm 35:27 *Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant*.

*GOD'S PROSPERITY SYSTEMS* (D)

Sometime ago, I visited a city in Nigeria. A brother drove me through an industrial area that was newly developed. Then, he told me that a plot of land sold in that area for three hundred thousand naira about five years before that time.

However, because of industrial development in that axis, a plot sold for four hundred million naira. I was surprised. I could have doubted him If he was someone given to careless talk but I have known him to be truthful and honest. That leads us to the next system

*3#. Investment*

God can prosper his own through investment in legal businesses or ventures not in ponzi schemes. Investing in things that yields gradually is one of the ways God prospers his own.

If you get good counsel from financial experts, they can put you through. I may not know much about this as a preacher but I know real estate investment is profitable all over the world. The woods today might become a city a tomorrow. Just ensure you get expert advice on how to go about it.

God doesn't rain money down from heaven like Manna no matter how long you pray. He is not into magic neither is he into money doubling schemes as some preachers make him look. True wealth is verifiable.  He has systems for increase all his children must key into.

In the parable of the talent(a unit of money), we can draw a lesson in investment from that parable. The man given five talent invested and it yielded double, the man given two invested and got double while the man given a talent buried it (Matthew 25:14-30).

God expects you to invest the little you have while you trust him to multiply it. Don't wait till you have it big before you invest. Investing money is like planting, after a while, it will yield a mighty harvest. That parable is also a lesson in stewardship of money.

The system of wealth is the same all over the world even in harsh economies. Some unbelievers understand this system and they have taken advantage of it because God gave every human a level playing ground in matters of wealth creation.

God's children must enter that system and operate by the rules while trusting him to send his blessings. God blesses work, provision of value and investments. You must engage any of these three systems.

 

Action point

Father, give me wealth creation ideas and bless it in the name of Jesus Christ.
