HEALTHY FINANCES
Obeying for Prosperity
Isaac
In the book of Genesis, we see that there was a famine in Gerar and God appeared to Isaac and told him not to go to Egypt to escape the famine. Isaac obeyed God and sowed in famine stricken Gerar. As a result of his obedience, God blessed him and he reaped a hundredfold profit on his investment that one year. (Genesis 26:2-14) Therefore seek God’s guidance and then obey His directives completely because He can bless your efforts mightily and ensure that you get a miraculous hundred percent return on your investment even in a famine or recession year.
Simon
Another example of obeying God and reaping abundantly is found in the book of Mark where Simon and his partners had not caught any fish during the night. But, he obeyed when Jesus advised him to go fishing during the day in the deep waters for he said, “Lord, we have worked hard all night and did not catch anything. But because You say so, I will lower the nets.” (Luke 5:5) As a result of his obedience, Simon caught so much fish that his nets begun to tear. He then called his partners but the catch was so huge that even their boats begun to get overwhelmed. Therefore, regardless of the type of business you may be engaged in, obey God even when His advice does not make sense to your natural human mind. Emulate Simon for he obeyed and went fishing during the day instead of at night as was the tradition and his fishing business prospered. Obey God because He can bless you so much that even your website threatens to crash because of the numerous orders you receive the way Simon’s fishing nets begun to tear.
