Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.” Joel 2:21-27
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” 2Cor.9:8
As you travel from nation to nation, you would observe one common thread weaving through all the nations of the world and that is the fact that these are perilous times indeed. This situation presents in wars, violence, terrorism, economic hardships and the like. About four years ago, I was led to take the gospel to another nation. When I got to that nation, the currency of that nation competed so well with the USD then that it posed a little challenge to me financially. However, recently, I employed a staff there and placed him on an income that I calculated against my national currency and I discovered that in a period of less than nine months, their currency which was almost at par with mine, had dropped by about one hundred and thirty percent. I could immediately recognize an economic hazard and decided to pay the staff in my local currency instead to enable him match up to the inflation that follows things of this nature.
The gist of what I am talking about here is that the harsh conditions of the world in these times are real; however, the good news is that the plan of God for us now is even more real. This explains why the Lord has sent this word to us in this season. The truth is that in spite of all that is going on around us, God is saying we shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and bless the name of the Lord our God who has dealt wondrously with us and we shall not be ashamed. The reason for this is that God has the ability to make abundant provision available to us in spite of contrary circumstances. When Elijah declared a three and a half year famine against Israel for their idolatry in 1Kings 17, he was excluded from the harsh conditions by divine provision. In the same way, God has excluded us from the economic hardship of the present times by sending us this word of abundance. This is why the month of September has been prophetically given to us by God as our month of plenty. The word plenty means full or adequate supply; enough to spare; sufficiency, abundant productiveness of the earth; ample supply of human wants; abundance etc. It also means a full supply, as much as necessary, a large amount or extent etc.
Someone is reading this article now and asking how this can be when they are actually experiencing the biting effects of the harsh conditions on earth. I must quickly let you understand that whereas God has put in place every resource required for this word to be fulfilled in our lives, plenty is governed by laws. If these laws are obeyed, you will experience the word otherwise, it would be a mere story to you. One truth about laws is that they are effective whether we know of them and act on them or not. This is why it is said that ignorance of the law is no excuse. If you know the laws governing plenty and apply them in your life, you shall not lack; the present global economic crises notwithstanding. On the other hand, whether you know the laws or not, if you do not apply them, you will lack. This is how laws work.
To this end, this month, we shall be looking at the laws regulating provision so that the keys to unlocking the plenty that God is telling us about this season would be delivered to us and as we engage those keys in our individual lives, plenty would attend to us.
In summation, I must quickly say here that the catalyst that makes these laws work is acquaintance with God. In Job 22:21-28, we are made to understand that we must first reconcile with God from our sinful ways and then embrace a covenant walk with God for us to pray to be heard by God and then as we walk in obedience to Him, we shall be enlightened and be enriched with plenty and even begin to reign with him as we can now make decrees that would be established and enjoy constant divine guidance. If you are yet to make this acquaintance, you are only a prayer away from doing so; you can do so now by saying the prayer below and you will become born again and be entitled to access to the keys that can unlock plenty to you beginning from now:
HEAVENLY FATHER,
HAVE MERCY ON ME A SINNER. I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR ME ON CALVARY’S CROSS AND THAT YOU RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD FOR MY JUSTIFICATION. I HEREBY DECLARE JESUS CHRIST TO BE THE SAVIOUR AND LORD OF MY LIFE FROM THIS DAY ON AND FOREVER. THANK YOU FATHER FOR HEARING ME AND INCLUDING MY NAME IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!
AMEN!!!
