Prosperity in a Corrupt World

Scripture Reading:
Philippians 2:15 — “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.”

🔹 Devotional Thought
We live in a world where corruption, compromise, greed, and crooked systems try to dictate how people survive and succeed.
But God has ordained that His people prosper without bowing to corruption.
Kingdom prosperity is not dependent on the integrity of the world, it is dependent on the integrity of God.

While others cheat to rise, God lifts His own by favour.
While others manipulate doors, God opens doors supernaturally.
While others bribe to advance, God connects His people through destiny helpers.

You are called to prosper in spite of:
dishonest systems,
unfair policies,
corrupt workplaces,
wicked structures,
and ungodly cultures.

Joseph prospered in corrupt Egypt.
Daniel prospered in Babylon.
Mordecai prospered under a wicked Haman.
Isaac prospered in a hostile Philistine territory.

The covenant makes you unkillable, unshakable, unstoppable — even in a corrupt environment.
