The Key to Prosperity

And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered."  2 Chronicles 31:21

     There is is a way to ensure that you prosper in what you do: serve the Lord with all your heart! Hezekiah king of Judah, lived in dangerous and tumultous time. He faced powerful enemies. Idolatry was the popular religion of the day. His parents had rejected God and encouraged people to worship other gods (2 Chron.28) Hezekiah had the opportunity to reject God as well, yet he chose to serve God will all of his heart. He did everything in his power to promote worship of the true God. He diligently followed God's commandments. As a result of Hezekiah's determination to serve God. God blessed him. Hezekiah thrived in an unsettled time because he resolved to follow God despite popular opinion.

     God will honor the heart that commits to follow Him (2 Chron. 26:5). In times when worshiping God is not vogue and when the forces of the day oppose Him, it takes courage and resolve to seek after God. God is pleased to prosper those who strive to please Him rather than to seek the approval of people. (1 Sam. 2:30). Hezekiah stands in stark contrast to Rehoboam, an earlier king of Judah. It is said of Rehoboam that "he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord" (2 Chro. 12:14). When you do not set your heart to seek the Lord, calamity is the inevitable result. The surest way to prosper in your endeavors is to diligently pursue the will of God."

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (Matt. 24:6,7,8,14)
