O Jehovah, do save, we pray! O Jehovah, do send prosperity, we pray! Psalms 118:25
"Do save," in Hebrew means Hoshiah-na, the source for hosanna in the New Testament. Its an aptly rhema word the Lord spoke to me. I indeed need this very much and I believe every believer needs too. Salvation from eternal perdition is settled once for all on the day of regeneration. However, since then, every saved believer needs daily salvation. As Paul said in Philipians 2:12 b "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." We need to work out our daily salvation by taking Christ as our living, experience and enjoyment. To be saved from the world, Satan, self and sin. To be save from anything other than Christ himself. To be saved even from good things emanating from the soul. To be saved from not living according to the spirit. O how much I need this daily salvation by the divine life supply of God, the Father, in Christ, the Son, as the Spirit as grace! O Jehovah, do save me, I pray!
"Prosperity," is a very deceptive word among many charismatic and prosperity gospel preacher and believers today, fully twisting it to mean physical prosperity of becoming rich or buying new land or house or car or what not. This is the fallen application of the word among many. When God blesses, no doubt, there are many physical blessings involved too. Only He decides what and when and where is best for such prosperity. That's up to Him. But our understanding rightly should be that of heavenly, spiritual and divine blessings given to us by the Triune God as in Ephesian 1:3 and the following verses concerning His divine economy. These blessings are heavenly in nature, state, characteristic and atmosphere. These are the prosperity every believers need today and should long for. This prosperity is to prosper in the work of the Lord for the fulfillment of His divine purpose through us today. O Jehovah, so send prosperity to me, I pray!
