What are the physical approach to God’s Prosperity Plan for Us?
I). Desire work – Work is good. Laziness is the mother of poverty. Find something to do – even if it is small. Jesus hates idleness.
When He went out in the third hour & saw some people standing idle at the market place, likewise in the sixth and ninth hour. In the eleventh hour when He met them still standing idle, He questioned them. That tells us that He hates idleness.
Matthew 20:3-6 KJV
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, [4] And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. [5] Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. [6] And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
2). Don’t despise little – Every great success’ story started small. Coming to God’s presence without a job is like coming to receive a blessing without a container. Your work is a blessing in disguise
Psalm 92:12 KJV
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
It’s my prayer that little business of yours will boom at the instance of the light in the word of God. Your crawling business will crawl no more. In the name of Jesus
3). Build capacity – Understand this: God can’t entrust to you beyond your capacity level. Get yourself equipped with skills, trade and apprenticeship. Educate yourself and improve on a daily basis. The truth is that you even need skills to do the work of righteousness
Hebrews 5:13 KJV
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
4). Be discipline – Hear this: There are no record breakers in their comfort zones – breaking records require stretching out of your comfortable arena. Until you bear the scars don’t expect to be stars.
As a business man having a TV box in your office will cause a lot of distractions and might end you up in a business failure due to lack of focus. As a student you can’t have exams the following day and watch Aljazeera, BBC and Africa Magic on the eve. If you do so you might be writing a letter to a failure. The subject discipline is very vital in all fields of life
Hebrews 12:12 KJV
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
4). Think Big – Get this straight: you’re what you think.
Proverbs 23:7 KJV
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
Don’t limit God. Move out of the box. With God there is nothing that is impossible.
Give up the poverty mentality – don’t mistake your condition for your portion. Your condition is not your portion. Think like true sons/daughters of your father. As long as ‘like’ beget ‘like’ sons and daughters of God are gods.
3 John 1:2 KJV
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord , thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

5). Avoid negative habits as oversleeping, overfeeding, ‘overgisting,’ ‘overphoning’ ‘overbrowsing’ etc
Ever since mobile phone came many have run into madness. Since then we have been seen people using many phones with many sim cards at the same time. They carelessly get involved in unnecessary calls and chats all day long. Many destinies have been
rubbed off as a result of this. Not as if using a mobile device is bad. But, we must control the way we use them.
It is noteworthy that spirituality is the backbone of life. Every natural happening has it’s supernatural antecedent. This teaching might not be completed if I don’t discuss the place of spirituality
Get yourself equipped with knowledge of God’s word by reading books like the bible spiritual books on financial prosperity, listen to tapes of God’s anointed men. Daniel understood by books, Paul was a strong advocate of knowledge, Jesus had reading culture during His earthly ministry. Knowledge is priceless. It’s the key to liberty and dominion
Daniel 9:2 KJV
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
Luke 4:16 KJV
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
