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).
After you’re born again, poverty becomes completely unacceptable in your
life. I know there’re people who believe Christians ought to be poor, but
that’s due to their lack of understanding of the Scriptures. Poverty is not the
absence of money, or other required necessities of life; it’s actually the
disabling of a man’s mental prowess. It’s that state where a person’s mind
shuts down, and that person believes that he or she can’t do anything to change
his state.
But that’s not the case with the one who’s born again and lives by the
Word; it’s impossible for such a person to walk in penury. 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. Once you accept this truth in your spirit, and
allow it dominate your thinking, it’ll give you a new mind-set. It’ll be impossible
for you to walk in lack.
The Bible says Jesus became poor so that we, through His poverty, might
become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). He took upon Himself, not only the sins of the
world, but also the effects of sin, one of which is poverty. This is the reason
every Christian must reject poverty. Nevertheless, poverty by choice, or
deprivation by persecution is acceptable. A Christian may walk poor, and live
poor because of ignorance, but he’s not poor, for he actually has an
inheritance in Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:21 says, all things are yours. Therefore, refuse and
reject the down life; don’t live as a victim. Get to the Word and become
knowledgeable about your untold wealth in Christ. God said, “My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge… (Hosea 4:6). Refuse to walk in ignorance, but
in the knowledge of your inheritance in Christ.
PRAYER
Dear Father, you’re gracious and kind. I thank you for making me a
joint-heir with Christ; the world belongs to me. All things are mine, and
nothing good is withheld from me. I dwell in the realm of superabundance, where
I’m graciously supplied with every good thing. My life is a manifestation of
your love and grace; thank you, Lord, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: 2 Peter 1:2-3 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you
through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine
power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Psalm 23:1-2 The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me
to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
2 Corinthians 8:9 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.
