PRAY AND PROSPER
TEXT: 2 CHRONICLES 26:3-7
MEMORY VERSE: “And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper” (2 CHRONICLES 26:5).
What we do for the Lord is entirely dependent upon what we receive from the Lord, and what we receive from the Lord is entirely dependent upon what we are in the Lord, and what we are in the Lord is entirely dependent upon the time we spend alone with the Lord in prayer.
The key to real success in life is staying in tune with God and His will for our lives through prayer. Then will He bless all we do and make us prosperous like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and King Uzziah, as seen in our text today. God prospered him when he sought God. When we become proud and arrogant, His hand of blessing ceases in our lives as was also the case of Uzziah.
Seeking God is more than just praying; it entails knowing God’s will and obeying it. Through prayer, hearing God’s Word and guidance by men of God like Zechariah, we know God’s will. It helps us to depart from sin and sinful associations. Knowing Christ is the gateway to seeking God.
QUOTE: Seeking God is more than just praying.
CHALLENGE: Turn to God if you want real prosperity.
PRAYER: Take authority over my life and prosper me O God.
