*Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional* _Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Tuesday June 3rd 2025_ *GOD’S IDEA FOR YOUR PROSPERITY* _And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work_ *(2 Corinthians 9:8)* When you align your life with God’s instructions, for example, in the area of finances, one of the immediate blessings you’re likely to observe is that your expenditure keeps getting lower. It’s another facet of God’s blessing. He doesn’t just bless you by increasing your income, He also blesses you by reducing your expenditure. Why is that so? It’s part of the result of the grace of God at work in your life; recall what we read in our opening scripture. Furthermore, He also made provision to keep the devourer away from you: *“...I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts"* (Malachi 3:11). The devourer is Satan or whatever he uses to consume or eat away your resources and your finances. Examples are damages, repairs and losses leading to high cost of maintenance. The Bible says, *“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it”* (Proverbs 10:22). God won’t bless you and then have you toil, struggle and spend so much to keep or maintain what He’s given you. His idea for your prosperity is addition or multiplication and abundance, not replacements. But you must act on His Word. He instructs you to bring your tithes, offeringsand oblations and challenges you to prove Him. He says not only will you receive an abundance, the devourer will have no access to what belongs to you. In other words, you won’t have a car that constantly needs repairs. You’ll suffer no damage or losses requiring costly fixes. Consider yourself so blessed that everything that comes to you works perfectly, lasts long and serves its purpose. Just as you’re God’s excellent handiwork, fashioned for good works, He has also ordained for your possessions to last, your resources to be preserved, and your finances to be supernaturally sustained. This is yourreality in Christ. The key is speaking and doing His Word. *CONFESSION* _The devourer has no place in my life, my finances, or my possessions, because I’m a doer of the Word. I walk in supernatural prosperity, where my income increases and my expenditure is divinely reduced. I live in perpetual abundance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._ *FURTHER STUDY:* *Proverbs 3:9-10* Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: *10* So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. *Luke 6:38* Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. *2 Corinthians 9:6-10* But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. *7* Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. *8* And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: *9* (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. *10* Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) *1 Year Bible Reading Plan :* John 18:1-27 & 1 Chronicles 11-13 *2 Year Bible Reading Plan :* Mark 14:53-65 & Deuteronomy 1
