“Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart…. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver” (Job 22:22-25).
The key to living in supernatural prosperity is studying the Word, laying it up in your heart and speaking it forth. Our opening scripture lets us know the result of receiving God’s Word and letting it get into your heart—your spirit: you’ll lay up gold as dust and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks; God will be your defence and you’ll have plenty of silver.
The vital connection between our success in life and meditating on the Word can never be overemphasized. In Joshua 1:8, the Bible says, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” By putting this scripture to work in your life, you make your way prosperous, and have good and permanent success—success and prosperity without sweat!
You’ve been called to a life of prosperity, progress and success; therefore don’t settle for the average life. God wouldn’t have said you’d lay up gold as dust if His plan was for you to live an average life. Don’t settle for a beggarly life or allow anyone make you believe it’s God’s will for you to be poor or average. The Bible says Christ became poor so you might become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). Now you don’t have any business being poor anymore.
Confession
The Lord has given me the power to get wealth, therefore, I cannot be poor and it’s impossible for me to fail. I refuse to be average, for I’m richly blessed in all things. I’ve been called to a life of prosperity, victory and success. All things are mine for the Lord has blessed me with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
