Greeting Highly Favored Men and Women of God's Covenant, and all Beloved!
The Lord spoke to me during the 5 am morning prayer at Community Christian Center (CCC) (www.Communitychristiancenter.org) on March 5 that a good church He adores has three ingredients (1) Teach the Bible correctly, (2) Filled and Led by the Holy Spirit, (3) Love one another with Agape Love. Does your church have them? If not, pray for your church or ask God to direct you. He also said that we should seek and love Him like Song of Songs (Solomon), Chapter 3:1-5 "I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him..I will search for the one my heart loves....when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go...Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires." Isaiah 55:6 says "Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near."
Pastor Eric Giorgio at CCC preached two weeks ago using Proverbs 11:11 "Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted..."(I believe Dr. Ben Carson also shared that verse in the prayer breakfast, see video in my last newsletter). And I also shared before that in Jeremiah 29:7 "...seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." Then Pastor Daniel Chan also has one spirit with us and shared his devotion as follows:
"TRANSFER OF WEALTH (BLESSINGS): 3/3/13 - 3/9/13
"Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold." Genesis 13:2.
When God orchestrates a transition for His children, blessings (transfer of wealth) usually follows. After Abram acknowledged his lies to God and the Pharaoh in a confrontation (Genesis 12:18), a transition took place and wealth was transferred. Abram departed from Egypt with many animals, female and male servants given by Pharaoh. When Abram got back on track, God blessed him even more.
Egypt suffered another financial loss to Moses and the Hebrew slaves when Moses led them out of Egyptian bondage toward the Promised Land. Again, this transition, planned by God, would result in a wealth transfer from the Egyptians to the Hebrews as promised by God to Moses (Exodus 3:21-22) before Moses went to Egypt to confront Pharaoh. The fulfillment that the Hebrews plundered the Egyptians took place when the Hebrews left Egypt (Exodus 12:35-36).
The scriptures support the concept that our heavenly Father loves us and He will bless and compensates us when we are wronged by evil people: "Misfortune pursues the sinner, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous, a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous." Prov. 13:21-22. This is a transfer of wealth and blessings to the righteous. Ecclesiastes 2:26 says "To the man who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God." Thank you, Big Daddy. "The faithful will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good man rewarded for his" Proverbs 14:14." By Daniel C. Chan, M.A.,Th.D., www.church4nations.com
Thanks to pastors Eric and Daniel for their words. Today, I do believe that we (true Christians) should be lack of nothing and must prosper spiritually (i.e. eternal life, complete joy and peace and love, and wisdom). The material or physical things (the earthly wealth) can be also given to us if we obey God and ask by faith but these are not important to us once we have spiritual wealth which is far greater. I myself am a witness and the recipient of God's abundant blessings. He has given me both wealth! I am very content! You know what, I am under God's Covenant. Thanks Jesus! Glory to Him!
I just pray for your wealth from heaven! Be blessed!
Esther, your servant
