TODAYS DEVOTION. OVERFLOW STOPPERS.
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "The more they increased and multiplied [in prosperity and power], the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame”. (Hosea 4:7 AMP)
The grace for overflowing kingdom wealth will always decrease when sin or iniquity abounds. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and proper prosperity in Christ. God cannot stand evil! The way godliness will make prosperity increase is the way sin will bring it down. In the scripture above, the multiplication of Israel in prosperity and power brought about the increase of their sins. Therefore God said “I will change their glory into shame,”that means I will stop their overflow.
There is a glory that goes with prosperity and shame follows poverty. Every act of disobedience to the word of God will bring poverty eventually. Maintaining the overflow of heavenly provision on anything requires holiness."Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord”. (Hebrews 12:14 KJV)
In order to see the God of prosperity and overflow in action, you must be holy and live as God has commanded in His word. The glory of God in a man’s life is the manifestation of kingdom prosperity and where sin abounds the glory will be cut short."All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory,” (Romans 3:23 CEB)
The more you dwell in sin, the more the shame of poverty increases. Sin causes a reduction of redemption provision! No wonder the Bible says, “WHAT SHALL we say [to all this]? Are we to remain in sin in order that God’s grace (favor and mercy) may multiply and overflow”? (Romans 6:1 AMP)
Christianity is a progressive life into godliness. Even though you are not perfect, heaven expects you to work towards perfection. In other to experience the grace of multiplication and overflow, you must grow into responsibility and maturity. You cannot just do anything you desire."A person without self-control is like a house with its door and windows knocked out”. (Proverbs 25:28 MSG).
This means without self control you are vulnerable and susceptible to the attack of the enemy. However, when you are self controlled and refuse to allow sin have dominion over you, your overflow becomes unstoppable.
Develop godliness in every area of your life and exercise yourself in holiness!“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness”. (Psalm 29:2 KJV).Uncleanliness stops your overflow. The Christian who is holy is protected and gives no room to the devil. He does not do just anything because he feels like. He has God’s word as his defence and standard. His spirit has gained mastery over his mind and body.
TODAY'S RESPONSE.
Take control of your life today and do only those things that bring glory to the Name of Jesus and your overflow will be unstoppable.
