The first
mandate God gave man was to be fruitful. Poverty was not part of God’s plan for
man. Everything man will ever need was created in abundance by God before he
made man. God looked at everything he created and they were very good.
Satan
tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and they fell. They fell from their
throne as the ruler of the earthly realm. They swapped their authority for
captivity. Satan became the god of the world. As a result of their disobedience,
sickness, disease, poverty, death etc. came in to the world and impacted the life
of mankind. God is not the author of poverty. Poverty is evil. Satan is the
author.
Poverty is a
condition of life where one is not able to help himself.It's a condition of life where one is scrapping through life. Poverty is more than a
mind-set. There is a spirit behind it. It’s called the spirit of poverty. It maneuvers
people’s thinking and enforces lack and wants in their lives. It keeps people
destitute and bound them to a life of lack. It blinds people’s mind to their prosperity
in God.
Listen, if
you are a child of God, and you are living in poverty, get up and rebuke the
spirit of poverty in the name of Jesus. You are not supposed to be poor
anymore. Jesus had crushed sin and its effects. Jesus had conquered poverty for
you. You have been made a victor over this world. Don’t accept poverty. It is
not for you.
For you know the grace
of our lord Jesus Christ, for though he was rich, yet for your sake he became
poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich .2 Corinthians 8:9{NIV}
You are now
blessed in Christ Jesus. Jesus has made you rich. Let the reality of who you
are in Christ Jesus dominate your consciousness at all time. Start thinking and
talking like a rich and blessed man because that is who you are. Declare the
word boldly. Declare who you are and what belongs to you in Christ. Refuse to
be small. Refuse to be contained. Refuse to be limited. There is an abundant
life ordained for you in Christ.
Beloved, i wish above
all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 John 2{KJV}
Forget about your circumstances; agree with
the word of God. The word will pull you out and cause you to walk in the
blessings that God has already given to you.
