Message: Financial prosperity is for all who are willing to obey the terms of the covenant. It is not just for a reserved few but available to as many that ill obey God’s instruction.
Isaiah 1:19 – If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
It is your obedience that will provoke the prosperity. Money is a principal requirement for a successful pursuit of a life’s goal.
Eccl.10:19 -A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
It is the love of money that is the root of all evil; not money itself. Jesus used money and lived in comfort. According to Mark 4:36, Jesus moved in convoy as other boats accompany him wherever He goes. Jesus rode on an ass nobody had ever used. People casted lot for His garment. This means that He never wore a cheap clothe. They could not differentiate between Him and His disciples; meaning that His disciples dressed well too.

Serving God does not lead to poverty; you cannot be the child of the most high and be low in life. If God is your father, then you must go farther in life. You cannot be connected to the Alpha and not go far in life.
To provoke the hand of God for prosperity, you must learn to invest into God’s kingdom but you cannot invest in His kingdom when you don’t have the love of God in you.
Matt.22:37-40 -Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
To be blessed financially, the first thing you must do is to love God first and not money.

1 Kings 3:3, 13 -And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. 13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.
It is your depth of your love for God that determines the level of your access to His resources. To love God means to be naturally excited and committed to whatever that involves God. Everything about God ought to move you if you truly love Him.
When you start loving what God loves which is soul winning and going after souls with all your resources, you place yourself on eternal payroll of God. Before any need will arise, you will see the answer waiting for you because God will be interested in your affairs. As you begin to express your love to God from today, I see your life turn around for good in the name of Jesus-Amen.
God bless you
