2023/2024 OPERATION 18-18 – (COVENANT OF INFINITE GRACE V)

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” 

Psalm 23:6, KJV

Confess this scripture –

• Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me. Everywhere I go this year and beyond, let the angels of goodness and mercy follow me. Let the goodness and mercy of God follow me in all my undertakings this year and beyond in the name of Jesus.
• Let the glory of God be revealed in my life and let the name of the Lord be magnified. Thank you ancient of days, in Jesus name.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” 

Ephesians 2:8-9, KJV

It is by grace and by grace alone. May you experience the saving grace and download the blessings that follow it in the name of Jesus Christ. As you download the blessings, may you fall in love over and over again with God. That is the right prescription. God wants to bless his people. God wants to prosper you, there is nothing wrong with prosperity, it is an addition, it is part of the things that accompany salvation. However, that is not the only message. Many times, error is in emphasis. Sometimes, error is in priority – what should take precedence over the other?

If you make prosperity the only message, you will produce idolaters. That is the greatest problem today. If you make money the bottom line, you cannot produce a true disciple; you produce idolaters who even when they give, give to get. There is something seriously wrong with that. That is why the world is full of idolaters. You can only be above only if you come from above otherwise you will produce earthbound people who will not fly at the sound of the trumpet. The ministries that propagate this error also use earthbound metaphors. They have thrown away the cross and preach about it only on Good Friday.

The slippery part of that message is that you don’t need to be a believer in order to reap when you sow. People who don’t even believe in God sow and reap because the law of sowing and reaping is a universal law. The fact that you are sowing a large sum of money and reaping big does not guarantee that you will make the rapture. God has a comprehensive all round package for his children. May God help us to put everything in their proper perspective in Jesus name.

Worship is – being so fanatically in love with God that the idea of substituting that love for anything else does not even remotely exist. You need not teach a worshipper to give. The motive of a worshipper is different from that of an idolater. You give because you love God. You give because it is part of your worship and that is what God celebrates. You are seeking the face of God and not his hand like every other miracle seeker. Your meat is to do the will of the Father. That is how to be a true disciple.
