Hosea 4:6 (KJV)

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

One of the saddest laments in the Bible was uttered by God Himself when He said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Notice, it does not say people in general, but My people, specifically. He’s talking about His own Blood-bought, Spirit-filled Christians – heirs of all He has and joint-heirs with Christ - perishing because of what they don't know. The worst part, however, is the reason given: because they reject knowledge.

The Bible contains the Word of God, thereby making it the most knowledgeable book available on Earth. It contains the Wisdom of God that, when applied, saves you from destruction.

You can't afford not to be in the Word. The Word ought to be studied; it ought to be read in your home. Read it to your little ones, and encourage those who are mature enough to read it for themselves. God wants you to collect riches like dust, but that can't happen as long as your Bible collects dust. The Word is your surety. Read it, live long, and prosper!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am a diligent student of the Word, rejecting ignorance and embracing the knowledge that leads to life. As I engage with the Word, I am assured of prosperity, health, and longevity. I declare that the Word is my surety, and I live long and prosper! Amen.

Acts 20:22 (ISV)

And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.

Some things we're requested to do by God are burdens of the Spirit where He gives us the opportunity to respond. Then there are things we are summoned to do. A summons requires an altogether different response. It does not come with options and cannot be silenced; it demands 100% compliance. The problem is that one can be summoned and not know it.

A widow was summoned to feed Prophet Elijah. She was commanded to sustain him (1 Kings 17:9) but had no idea she’d been summoned. She just found herself in the place where summons and opportunity could meet. That’s what is happening for you this year!

God released a compelling ability to make you prosper like never before. He has summoned money to come to you. Just as light had no option but to appear when God commanded, "Light be!" your house, that car, your marriage, your health, and your money are compelled by the Spirit to come to you. So, pay attention to His summons, for they will lead you to where prosperity and opportunity meet.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I’m 100% compliant with God’s summons. I am summoned to prosper and increase like never before. God has placed me at the intersection of prosperity and opportunity. My house, car, marriage, health, and money are compelled by the Spirit to come to me. Amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:19 (KJV)

Quench not the Spirit.

Poverty and lack are proof that someone somewhere quenched the Spirit. The Bible tells us that time and chance happen to us all (Ecclesiastes 9:11), meaning rich and poor alike are given opportunities to prosper. The reality is some are comfortable living with the demon of poverty and laying personal claim to their sickness. They refuse to accept the possibility and reality of God’s desire to prosper them by ignoring the thoughts and ideas the Holy Spirit provides through the Word of God to change their situation.

You see, it's impossible to imagine something that's impossible for you to have. Your desires to have multi-million or billion-dollar businesses, properties all over the world, a garage of luxury cars, perfect health and a happy home are possible.

When those thoughts come to you, do not rebuke them. Instead, understand that the Holy Spirit creates in you the desire for things that are rightfully yours. Anything that falls within the scope of what the Word of God says you can have, you can have! Believe it, and don’t be ashamed or afraid to go after it!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

In the Name of Jesus, I break free from the grip of poverty; I refuse to be comfortable with sickness and lack. I decree and declare perfect health, prosperity, abundance, and a happy home. It’s milk and honey for me! Amen.
