Rhapsody of Realities 12 May 2025: Grow Faster Than Inflation
Scripture: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).
Inflation has been a topic of discourse for a long time. Despite fluctuating economic conditions, the conversation surrounding its impact on daily life remains prevalent. Many individuals express concern over rising prices and the increasing cost of living. But my response to these complaints has always been the same: “Have you ever heard the government make an announcement saying, ‘Everything is cheaper now than ever before’?”
Thus, the narrative has never changed. Prices will always rise, and challenges will escalate, but as a child of God, you’re the blessed seed of Abraham. You weren’t called to inherit or be a part of the hardship or curse of the land; rather, you were called to inherit the blessing (1 Peter 3:9).
What God’s people need is to know the Word, for in it, you’ll discover that we grow faster than inflation. Take a look at the story of Isaac in Genesis 26; the Bible records that there was a severe famine in the land, similar to the famine that had occurred during Abraham’s time.
Isaac initially intended to move to Egypt to escape the famine; however, God instructed him to stay in Gerar. Instead of succumbing to fear or despair, Isaac obeyed God and remained in the land. While in Gerar, Isaac sowed and reaped a hundredfold harvest in the same year, because the Lord blessed him.
Isaac became very wealthy. He amassed flocks, herds and servants (Genesis 26:12-14). His prosperity was so notable that the Philistines envied him. This is your heritage; you’re to live above and beyond inflation, recession and poverty, walking in your inheritance as the seed of Abraham.

Never be overwhelmed by economic downturns or meltdowns; rather, always declare that your prosperity is of God. You’re not subject to the same limitations as the people of the world; the Lord has set you apart, and as you act on His Word, you’ll live in the reality of His blessings. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
Dear Father, thank you for choosing me to inherit a blessing and for empowering me to rise above the challenges of this world. I grow faster than inflation and every limitation in the natural world. Through your Word, I live in abundance and walk in the full blessing of the Gospel of Christ. My life is a testimony of your divine provisions and grace, and I shine as a beacon of hope in my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
Genesis 26:12-14
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. 13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; 14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.
