Prosperity from Austerity

Prosperity from Austerity
Out of Austerity Prosperity can come
I know God can make a way for the righteous
However, we all have to seek first His Kingdom
And He will cause his face to shine, our barns plenteous.

Great grace awaits those who put Him First in business
They will rise and bring forth water out of a rock
Wilderness and barrenness will turn to fruitfulness
They will laugh at situations that now mock.

It is God who owns the whole earth in all its fullness
In His economy there's no boom and bust
He can work miracles in any dryness
For those who look to him, obey and trust.

M't:6:19: Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

M't:6:21: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
M't:6:33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

1Ki:17:8: And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
1Ki:17:9: Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
1Ki:17:10: So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
1Ki:17:11: And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
1Ki:17:12: And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
1Ki:17:13: And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
1Ki:17:14: For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
1Ki:17:15: And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
1Ki:17:16: And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

Ps23

Lord, I thank You for Your word which is settled in heaven. Heaven and earth shall pass away but Your word shall not pass away. You are not a man that you should lie, neither the son of man that you should repent. Your word is true. It can be relied on.

I hold on to it and pray it back to you. Lord, make a difference between your people and the world according to Your word.

Cause Your people to obey you in their finances and see Your blessing come and overtake them according to your word. For those who have obeyed You and still suffering financial hardships. Grant them the grace to persevere and understand the seasons of life, assured that in due time their time will come and that You have not forgotten them.
Lord., as we tithe and give offering according to Your word, rebuke he devourer on our behalf. Show us things to do that we may prosper in Jesus name. You said '
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.'
For those who have opened the door for the devourer, open their eyes to see the door they have opened and show them the way back- repentance and obedience, in Jesus' name.

Show us fertile land to invest in to extend your kingdom. Teach us to praise You even in the little mercies we see, in the protection you give, peace you provide, health you give which money cannot buy.
We pray that our investment will yield a great return to your glory and your praise. May we treasure godliness and our relationship with you above every form of gain, in Jesus' name.
