In 2019, I had become so focused on spiritual warfare that I totally neglected prosperity. I believe the Lord wants us to be balanced in our doctrines. To be solely focused on warfare can help build our spiritual muscles while we starve in other areas, just like being so focused on earthly prosperity can increase material wealth as well as increase our greed. True prosperity is not about amassing wealth or hoarding material possession but it's about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit - God meeting us at the point of our very need. God will not give us what will destroy or condemn our souls. He'll bless us according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. He'll set us free from lack and poverty.
In the course of being busy destroying the works of the devil, we must also learn to take our stuffs, claim territories and accomplish new things. The Lord wants us to prosper and be in health even as our soul prospers. Everyday, we eat to stay fit. Not eating a balanced meal may affect our health. In the same way, not being balanced in our spiritual walk can affect our spiritual health. The devil likes to take advantage of our ignorance. God's people are being destroyed for lack of knowledge. (Hos 4:6)
God wants to bless us. We must understand our seasons so that we will not be fighting when we ought to be relaxing and sleeping when we ought to be fighting. This is why the Lord calls us to understand our times and seasons. When we are busy doing the right thing at the wrong time, we prevent God from expressing His love to us. Sometimes God is saying FIGHT... Other times He's saying "STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD."
After many months of warfare, I decided to begin a study on prosperity, faith and blessings. In my spirit I was hearing the angels converse:
Angel A: The miracles of thinking big
Angel B: Bigger than me?
Then I heard laughter.
The Lord sometimes calls us to a spiritual vacation. He wants us in his haven of rest. Unfortunately, some Christians are so lost in vacation that they forget to return to warring. As a result, they do not gain new grounds but instead fall into the mire of lukewarmness and coldness, hence losing their first love.
Bottom line? There's a need to know the times and seasons and maintain a balance.
