Today, let's explore a profound truth that will transform how you view prosperity and your divine calling. God has equipped you with a unique anointing that attracts the resources of this world, not for selfish gain, but to build His kingdom and set the captives free. Prepare to discover how wealth becomes your servant, not your master.
Your Divine Identity and Calling
Just as God changed Abram's name to Abraham, transforming him from "exalted father" to "father of multitudes," He has given you a new identity in Christ. You are no longer defined by your past limitations or circumstances. God knows you intimately, every detail of your life, even the number of hairs on your head.
"No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you." - Genesis 17:5-6
Unlike earthly leaders who know their people only as numbers, God calls each of us by name. He has a specific calling and anointing for your life, uniquely designed for you.
Called by Name for His Purpose
Even when we don't fully recognize God's hand in our lives, He is working on our behalf. Consider how God spoke of King Cyrus, a gentile ruler who would serve His purposes:
"For Jacob My servant's sake, and Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me." - Isaiah 45:4
God declares that He will strengthen you for victory, even when you don't intimately know Him. How much more will He equip those of us who are bought by the precious blood of Jesus Christ? This month, expect to find God's strength and victory manifesting in your life.
"I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me." - Isaiah 45:5
Building Cities and Setting Captives Free
God's calling on your life extends beyond personal blessing. You are anointed to build cities for God, to create communities that reflect His kingdom, and to release those who are in bondage.
"I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways; he shall build My city and let My exiles go free, not for price nor reward," says the Lord of hosts." - Isaiah 45:13
The church exists to solve the problems of the world. You are the solution the world is seeking. You are the light in the darkness, the salt of the earth. When the world looks for answers, are you ready to provide them?
Wealth in Chains Behind You
Here's a revolutionary truth that will change your perspective on prosperity:
"Thus says the Lord: 'The labor of Egypt and merchandise of Cush and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours; they shall walk behind you, they shall come over in chains; and they shall bow down to you. They will make supplication to you, saying, "Surely God is in you, and there is no other; there is no other God."'" - Isaiah 45:14
The wealth of nations, Egypt's riches, Cush's merchandise, the treasures of the world, will be handed over to you. In chains, they will walk behind you, because you are not chasing after money; money is chasing after you.
Money is your slave, not your master. It has to follow you.
Most people get stuck going behind money, but God's design is for money to follow you. You shall not borrow but lend to nations. The government should come to believers asking for help, not the other way around.
Divine Favor and Recognition
When this divine prosperity manifests in your life, people will take notice. Those who knew you before will marvel at the transformation. They'll say, "I know this person—, hey weren't particularly clever or special, but since they've known God, everything has changed."
This isn't about making you look smart in your own strength. God will give you special ideas, show you where to invest, and grant you wisdom that surpasses natural understanding. Through this, you'll bring glory to God and demonstrate that all things are possible through Jesus.
Conclusion
You are called to attract the wealth and treasures of this world—not for selfish purposes, but to set the captives free, build cities for God's glory, and establish His kingdom on earth. When people see the prosperity that follows you, they will declare, "Surely God is with them, and there is no other God."
Walk in this truth today. You are equipped, you are anointed, and you are called by name for such a time as this.
Reflect on This
In what areas of your life do you need to shift from chasing resources to allowing them to follow you as you pursue God's purposes?
How can you use the prosperity God brings into your life to build His kingdom and set others free from bondage?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank You for calling me by name and giving me a new identity in Christ. I declare that I am equipped and anointed to attract the wealth and resources needed to build Your kingdom. Money is my servant, not my master, and it follows me as I follow You. I receive the treasures of Egypt, the merchandise of nations, and all the resources needed to set captives free and build cities for Your glory. People will see You in me and declare that You alone are God. In Jesus' name, Amen.
