Devotional Message
Meditate On The Message
God, in this passage, highlights the things that must happen for someone to "possess anything". If you pay attention to the four things mentioned, God did not promise causing those things to happen, but rather moved that responsibility to their respective sources. For instance: the seed should be prosperous, an allusion to the fact that the prosperity of the seed should be the responsibility of the seed; the ground should give her increase, an allusion to the fact that the ground should be responsible for the harvest. God shifted the responsibility to those four sources to show that things can prosper by themselves without an external interference. A business, someone's finances, a ministry, a relationship, a marriage, and everything can by themselves prosper. But how? God made it clear that these things would happen only when His people get to possess all "these" things. This means that they had to possess every single one of those things if they were to be favoured by them. Your business struggles because it's not yet spiritually possessed by you. This is the principle applied by agents of darkness. An agent of darkness possesses the finances of a man or woman and the person notices that no matter what he or she does, he or she always struggles. This is a spiritual program. Anything that doesn't work effortlessly for you hasn't yet been possessed by you. The fact that you have natural documentations to prove your ownership of that thing doesn't show that it's been spiritually owned by you. Raise your voice and begin to demand spiritual ownership of everything that physically belongs to you!
