NO REDUCTION

“And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.” (1 Kings 21: 2)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

When Ahab requested to be given the vineyard that belonged to Naboth, his goal was to convert the vineyard into a garden of herbs (vegetables). In bible times, owning a vineyard was a sign of wealth and prosperity. The same could not be said about a vegetable garden. So, Naboth had a vineyard that was symbolic of wealth, but Ahab wanted to reduce same to a vegetable garden. Ahab wanted to reduce Naboth’s possession.

Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: what you have in your hands will not be reduced. Your destiny will not be reduced. Your wealth will not be reduced. Your greatness will not be reduced. Your opportunities will not be reduced. Your relevance will not be reduced. Your importance will not be reduced. Your glory will not be reduced. Your shining will not be reduced. Your capacity will not be reduced. Your finances will not be reduced.

Naboth got his vineyard as an inheritance. Vineyards could stand the test of time and could even be handed down to the next generation. The same could not be said of a vegetable garden. So, Ahab wanted to take something that could stand the test of time, and replace same with something that could not stand the test of time. Every plan of the enemy to replace what is valuable in your life with something less valuable, let fire answer.

Reducing the vineyard of Naboth to a vegetable garden, meant that years spent in making the vineyard valuable had been lost. It was an arrangement that would make a mess of time and efforts of both past, present and future generations. Hear me as I hear the Lord: every demonic reduction that wants to rob you of progress made over a period of time, I decree, the enemy will not prevail. No demonic reduction will steal your years.

Every Ahab that wants to reduce what the Lord has put in your hands, will not prevail. Every Ahab that wants your vineyard to become a vegetable garden, will not succeed.

Isaiah 60: 20 says: “Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.”

Declare With Me: What is important to me will not be reduced to nothing, in Jesus’ name!
