Day 4 12 PILLARS OF BESTLIFE- PROSPERITY
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9
Main text: Job 22: 21- 30
At Bestlife we believe that the redemption plan guaranteed a wealthy life for us. “Christ became poor so that you can become rich”. In redemption, the ransom must be paid before an exchange can take place. So Christ took our place; first he became sin, so we can become righteous. Secondly, he took our sickness and disease so we can enjoy divine health and healing. Here, he became poor so that we can become rich. So how can you be saved and not be rich; it’s is complete package. The new creation has no business with poverty. Psalm 105: 37 say “He also brought them out with silver and gold, and there was none feeble among His tribes”. Note the phrase ‘he also’- meaning, it is part of the package.
Suppose you are very poor before you became a Christian, you will not remain so. Colosians 1: 12 say ‘Christ has qualified you as a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light’. The Christian is an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ. All the wealth in this world belongs to you if you’re born again. You’ve inherited all the blessings of Abraham. Righteousness, prosperity, healing and health, success, progress and spiritual advancement are all yours now. Once you accept this truth in your spirit, and allow it dominate your thinking it’ll be impossible for you to walk in lack. Christ took upon Himself, not only the sins of the world, but also the effects of sin, one of which is poverty. You must reject it.
There are three causes of poverty of a believer- Ignorance, fear and laziness. Get into the word to understand the untold wealth available to you in Christ. Stop living in fear and start believing that God wants you to be rich. Whatever your hand find to do, do it with all your might for ‘the diligent hand make rich”. Be conscious of your prosperity not lack. Christ has made you rich already. Christ already paid the price for your prosperity; you must reject debt or lack. Put your angels to work, they are sent by God to help you prosper. Whether he is rich or poor, each believer has a mansion in heaven. If you believe you will make heaven why don’t you believe you will make it on earth. Say ‘Christ has made me rich; I refuse to be poor’.
Prayer for today
I am redeemed from poverty, lack and debt. I am qualified in Christ to partake of the inheritance of the saint in life. I am abundantly supplied. I released angels to gather my wealth and glory from all corners of the earth to me. I will lay up gold and silver as dust in Jesus name.
