UV 213/10,000 God's Maths

Uni-verse 213/10,000 For better through verse Hebrews 6 v 14

Heb 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee

The blessing of the Lord is sure and certain. God's maths is multiplication and addition. The Devil's maths is division and substraction. The Lord wants to add unto His Kingdom of light. He delights in blessing us. He multiplies us in number and prospers us in what we do. Prosperity for the Lord is not merely financial- it is holistic, affecting our health, our family, our children, our past, present and future, our ministry, our legacy and contribution.

Satan also by demonic gifting can make a person prosperous in financial terms. But, he will extract a huge price for it by adding many sorrows. It was sad to read how Steve Jobs who did a good job building the Apple brand with many innovative products, earned billions died of pancreatic cancer in the middle of his days. Another doctor who has won the Nobel Prize for medicine for discovering treatment for pancreatic cancer died of the same disease three days before he was awarded the prize. I was interviewing a well known English writer some time back. By writing crime fiction, he had amassed a sizeable fortune but he had many sorrows in his life. When God makes a person prosperous, He adds no sorrows to it. The plagues that God sent upon Egypt could be numbered and counted but His blessings, known and unknown, visible and invisible are not numbered or counted for these come as a flood. The Blood of Jesus releases a flood of blessings in our lives.

Though He prospers us, our mind, our focus or our priority should not be not on what is given to us but on the Giver of life, eternal life, peace and abundant joy. We must not be number-driven but Word-driven. Instead of locking up all the blessings for ourselves, we must allow it to flow into the lives of others. He wants us to be a river and not a reservoir. As Nehemiah said, " The hand of the Lord is upon me for good." It is upon us for good( to do good to us) for good( for ever). Recently, in a time of prayer, the Lord said, " I have blessed you in large measure and small measure." As the Psalmist says, " the lines of our inheritance have fallen in pleasant places." So praise and exalt the Lord in our lives.
