“The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke” (Proverbs 13:8)
The material and financial riches the Lord blesses you with aren’t just for you and your family to enjoy and spend, they are also to provide you with the seeds to sow in order to ransom your life from evil. Besides your general offerings and tithes, you also should be smart to give special seed-offerings from time to time. This is a vital aspect of the teaching on prosperity that some folks neglect.
You need to realize that though he is defeated, satan is a rebel and he continuously seeks to snare God’s people, hence the reason you must not give him a foothold in your life. Sowing special seed-offerings is one sure way to silence him and obliterate every hindrance he places in your way. The money and material wealth in your hand could sometimes be your weapon of war in the realm of the spirit! I’ve seen and heard testimonies of folks with terminal and medically hopeless ailments healed only after the one involved gave a special seed-offering. That offering became the ransom for his life!
With your riches, you can secure your future and those of your loved ones. If you’re in a situation right now where the walls seem to be closing in on you, it’s time to take a seed-offering; something precious to you—speak over it in faith and offer it to the Lord. That seed should be to you a representation of the value you place on your life, and surely, the Lord will move on your behalf.
When you operate with this wisdom, evil will be far from you. God Himself will become your security for the future. Your life will keep moving from glory to glory and from victory to victory.
Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for this word you’ve given me today. I understand now the reason for my prosperity and the impact my giving has on my life and future. As I put this to work today, I declare that every snare of the enemy is destroyed from my path! My health, well-being and future are secured in you in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.
