Unrighteous Prosperity

Activity: Bible Exploration Anchor Scripture: Psalm 73 Memory Verse: “. . . man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” (Deut. 8:3) Introduction Our world has been tilted by the plethora of lies of Satan emanating from the pit of hell, such that people now flagrantly believe and practice, even in churches, things that are abominable to our faith. The mindless crazy race towards the worldly ‘finish line’ is faith-threatening. This has engendered an abominable practice in the Christendom, in which, even believers are often tempted to celebrate the story without the slightest bother to trace the story.

When God created man and woman and gave them dominion (Gen. 1:28), did He meant only in terms of their material needs? And before the fall of man, could a snake bite man? Is it only the financially buoyant man that is living the dominion lifestyle designed for man by God? When does a man truly has the dominion created by God? What are the dichotomies between the God's dominion and that created by man. It is instructive for us as children of God to examine these questions in relation to the lifestyle of the slain One and His Triumphant entry into Jerusalem which we remember and celebrate today. After all , He was sent to fo
