WIRED TO PROSPER(6) THE ABRAHAMIC LINK.

The seed, in the hand of a farmer, brings forth a hundred fold. However, in the hand of a novice, it suffers a great deal. And if you want to be a doctor you go to the medical school. If you want to be a lawyer, you go to a law school, and of course if you want to be a Pilot you have to go to a flying school. Can you perform surgery having not qualified as a Surgeon, nor appear in court, without being a lawyer/advocate or fly without a licence.

So how do you think you can be prosperous without being schooled in the book of life and prosperity. 2 Peter 1: 3  'according to his divine power has given unto us all things that pertains to life and godliness...'He owns everything Psalm 50:10; 'For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills' Haggai 2:8; 'The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the Lord of Hosts' also see Ecc 5:19; and 2Cor 8:9. That book is the Bible. If you want to prosper you ought to look in it. He gave us power to get wealth. Deuteronomy 8:18 'But thou shall remember the Lord thy God for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers'

'Thy fathers' mentioned in that scripture refers to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is a generational inheritance. We have a connection with them when we gave our life. The Bible tells us in Galatians 3:13-14 'The blessings of Abraham might come upon us'. It meant being born again is a guarantee to being blessed. However, we know that being born again alone is not sufficient. You have to understand why God so blessed Abraham, what did he do to be so prosperous, up to Jacob the 3rd generation. I think that should be our starting point.

In Isaiah 51:1-2...look unto Abraham...What does God want us to see in Abraham.

In the University of Prosperity:

Module 1
1. Obedience.
Obedience is a gateway and pathway  to abundance, and to prosperity. God called Abram, only once and he answered and left his family, even at his age. It's not an easy thing to shift your base at age 75.

Genesis 12:4. So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

Obedience and heeding the call of God is paramount. God loves those who believe, seek and trust in Him.  Ps 34:10 He says they will not lack anything good.
In Job 36:11.. this fundamental truth is evident...If they obey and serve Him,
They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.
Are you obeying Him. Total obedience. If you obey Him, you will serve Him.
Obedience and service come before prosperity and pleasures.

Is 1:19,
If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
Obedience comes before eating. Obey Him and the land will be subdued before you.

Ps 112:1-3
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.
His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.

So not only you, but your descendants. A man's obedience can open the doors of blessings to generations yet unborn. No wonder, Isaac, Jacob and we, the spiritual children of Abraham are still being blessed.

Module 1 to be continued.
