Godly leadership always fosters prosperity in a
land. Please read 2nd Kings Chapters 18 to 20, 2nd
Chronicles Chapters 29 to 32, Isaiah Chapters 36 to 38, 39 verse 2. Hezekiah’s
godly leadership brought about spiritual and economic prosperity in Judah.
Trust in God brings the Presence of God into a
person’s life and when the Presence of God is in anyone’s life, the prosperity
of God manifested in abundance in every area of life surrounds the person. King
Hezekiah of Judah is a classic example. The Presence of God in his life
occasioned by his trust in God brought prosperity in his life. The Bible
records that he prospered wherever he went – God gave him resounding victory
over supposedly militarily stronger nations such as Assyria, Philistia,. He
enjoyed divine healing from a supposedly terminal ailment and was wealthy – he
owned great material resources and money, he also prayed for His people and the
Bible records that God listened to Hezekiah and healed the people. Please read
2nd Chronicles Chapter 30 verses 17 to 19.
Hezekiah loved God and always did what was right in the
sight of God. He opened the doors of the house of the Lord that were closed and
repaired them. He repented of the sins of their fathers and restored the true
worship of God in Israel. Please read 2nd Chronicles Chapters 29 to
30. Tithes were paid, all kinds of offerings were given and the people of Judah
gathered to worship the Lord. Please read 2nd Chronicles Chapter 31
verses 4 to 12.
