READ: HAGGAI
2:1-9
You need to
have proper attitude in other to achieve the divine pan for your life
concerning the subject of prosperity; Haggai 2:8 says: “The silver is Mine, and the gold
is Mine, says the LORD of hosts.” Anybody who makes such a claim cannot
be regarded as poor. Silver and gold are joust two minerals in the bowels of
the earth. There are lots more like coal, diamond, oil and so on. In Psalm
104:24, the Bible says: “O LORD, how manifold are Your works! In
wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions-”
The earth is full of the riches of the Lord. I had a friend who was one of the
richest men ever to live in Nigeria. By the time he died, he had two hundred
and fifty six millions U.S dollars in Australia alone, not to talk of the money
in America, Switzerland, or here in Nigeria. Rich as he was, his wealth did not
fill the whole earth. However, the wealth of God fills the whole earth. God is
not a poor at all, by any standard. It is also clear that the closest friends
of God were wealthy people. When Moses asked for God’s name, the Almighty God
introduced Himself as, “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14). He
went further to say, “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac
and the God of Jacob.” He said “that will be My name forever.” That
means, if they ask of God’s three closest friends, the men are: Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob. Those three people that called His friends were by no means poor.
Genesis 13:2 talks about Abraham: “Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver,
and in gold.” Let us see Isaac in Genesis 26:12-14: “Then Isaac sowed
in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed
him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very
prosperous; for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a
great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.” A whole nation envied
one man!
