THE REWARD OF
PROPHECY
With
great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all. – Acts 4:33
“Remember that it is the Lord your God who gives You the power to
acquire wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18),” I reminded our group that was
meeting to set up a new business. We were all excited at the prospects
and the opportunities ahead.
Success was not yet in our hands but we were predicting our future by
claiming God’s promises. Additionally, the Spirit led me to 2
Chronicles15:7 that says, “Be strong and do not relax, for your work
shall be rewarded.” That made our spirits rise even higher and
strengthened our resolve to work harder so that God could make good on
His promises.
We also imagined ourselves 10 years down the road, already successful
in the business. We would ascribe our successes to God before all our
employees and other stakeholders of the business.
These exercises are part of enjoying the Holy Spirit’s gift of prophecy. With this gift and God’s promises, we know that “toward the faithful, You are faithful” (Psalm 18:25). Even now we know our business will flourish, and we claim it in Jesus’ name. Donna España (donna@homeliving.com.ph)
Reflection: “The word of God is like a two-edged sword, which is living and effective.” (Hebrews 4:12)
I trust in You, Lord, to guide my plans with Your word. Amen.
Blessed Peter Gonzalez, pray for us.
