My God is not Poor II

Text: Ecc.5:19 More
Lessons: I Chro.1:11-17

In these times, God is revealing to as many who will hear that it is His good pleasure to release wealth and riches into the hands of the righteous. 3Jn.1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. The arch bishop referred to yesterday believed that since the God who made all things out of the bounty of his riches was his Father, then someday, somehow he too will be wealthy and prosperous. God cares for our every need. He wants us to prosper and become exceedingly great.

I have never known a patriarch or matriarch in scriptures that walked with God and didn't lead the financial market of their day! From Job, Abraham, Moses to Jesus; none of them lacked. The other day, Jesus paid tax by commanding money from the mouth of a fish. There is supernatural provision for you in Christ. Eph1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. The blueprint for our prosperity is in God's hands and He is not holding it back from us. The child of a king always has this royal mindset that whatever he needs in the kingdom, his father the king can and will do it for him. Ever seen the level of confidence that little children have in their fathers? I think I do because I remember asking my dad to buy me an aero plane when I was a little child. How much more we who have the King of all the earth as our Father? Poverty is not righteousness; in fact, it is anti-covenant. Where ever poverty is found in scriptures, it is usually connected to a curse or punishment from the Lord for evil deeds.
There is no verse in all of scriptures that admonishes us to embrace wretchedness as humility and holiness. Rather, we are instructed not to forget that it is the Lord that empowers us to make wealth; meaning that it is a normal Christian life to be successful. Nobody partners with the King and remains a pauper. Psa.67:7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. Your present situation does not define your true reality; it is God's word about your finances, health, projects and career that has the final say! If you cannot say it, you will not see it. Like the Arch Bishop, it is time to declare into your own life that your God is not poor. You will never lack anything good in Jesus’ name, amen

Prayer / Action.
* Pray that you will never be poor.
* Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to godly prosperity.
* Pray that God will bless the works of your hand greatly.
Imbibe the mentality that you were not made to be poor.
