“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18)
God is progressive, and He detests stagnation—let alone regression. That’s why, when Moses pleaded for the Israelites to remain calm (when they were to march forward), God commanded them to move forward (Exodus 14:14-15)
Brethren, life is divinely designed for God’s children to experience continuous progress against all odds. Are you advancing in every area of your life? If not, that should concern you. Think about a three-year-old child unable to walk or talk—wouldn’t you be bothered? Likewise, if your life isn’t reflecting the scripture that says you must continue to shine, it’s crucial to identify the cause. Instead of experiencing progress in your business, marriage or finances, are you facing setbacks? If so, you need to trace the root of the issue.
Beloved, setbacks have no place in your life—so long as you are just. But who is a just man? The Apostle Paul declares, “A man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law” (Romans 3:28). Furthermore, “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). Simply put, a child of God, justified through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, is entitled to the prosperity covenant with God.
According to the opening scripture, divine prosperity means making steady and satisfactory progress. This is God’s plan for you. Like a shining light that grows brighter each day, prosperity is the heritage of the just. This means that if you are committed to righteous living, your today will always surpass your yesterday, and your tomorrow will surely be glorious.
Believe me honestly, as long as you refuse to look back, there will be no room for setbacks in your life (Luke 9:62). It’s time for you to shine my brother and sister—and you will shine continuously in Jesus name!
Shalom!
