Prosperity_vs_Poverty
Some may feel uncertain or conflicted about prosperity. They quote, "the love of money is the root of all evil. Beware of the deceitfulness of riches." And some say, "The rich can't get into heaven," but what does God say? Let's explore His truth together.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6
Not understanding Scriptures can keep you in the grip of poverty.
If you're thinking, "I don't have to worry about the love of money, cause I don't have any", that isn't always true. It doesn't matter whether you have money or not; it's not about money. It's about the "LOVE" of money. That is the root of all evil. God wants us to prosper, YES, but to LOVE Him.
Greater Blessings
There are greater blessings in life than monetary wealth, highlighting the biblical view that spiritual riches surpass material possessions.
Revelation 2:9 I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich;)
There are more ways than one to prosper. And wealthy people can be considered poor if they are poor in the greater things than gold. But God's will is that we prosper in all things.
In the book of Acts 3:25-26, it is written... You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. God, having raised his servant Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."
Prosperity includes blessings of all sorts, but the greatest of blessings is Jesus. If you have Jesus in your life, that is the foundation of prosperity. And the Holy Spirit can lead you into all truth.
In the Kingdom of God
is a Hundredfold Return
God's will is that you become rich in all things, including monetarily. You can choose to follow God's plan.
Genesis 26:12,13 then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;
Genesis 30:43 thus the man (Jacob) became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks, female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
These are just a few scriptures showing that God's will regarding prosperity vs. poverty is for you to prosper in all things.
Prosperity is a Blessings
Poverty, a Curse
Jesus said it was hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. It's hard for a rich man not to trust in his wealth. Riches deceitfully promise security.
Focusing only on getting rich distracts you from trusting the Word of God. Mark 13:22 says the deceitfulness of riches chokes the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
If you keep your focus on God, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all of these things will be added unto you. They will come with blessings and not curses.
Poverty is part of the curse that Jesus came and redeemed us from by the Blood of His cross. He became poor that you might become rich. God wants you to prosper.
Jesus redeemed us from the curses of the law. Deuteronomy 29:21 ”The curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law.”
Was Jesus a Rich Man?
2 Corinthians 8:9 "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich."
Jesus left the riches of Heaven to become a human child born in a stable. He indeed became poor for us. And ended up at the cross where they even cast lots for His clothing. Psalms 22:18 (NKJV) "They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots."
Jesus became poor in terms of heaven but Jesus trusted His Father to provide for Him while He grew up on the Earth and financed His ministry. As a baby, three wise men were sent to Him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Our Father in Heaven set Jesus up for life financially.
Jesus was a man of means contrary to popular belief.
Jesus had enough money that He needed a treasurer to take care of the finances of the ministry, his name was Judas who held the bag. John 13:29. And He had a tunic made without a seam so valuable that the soldiers at the cross cast lots for it. "Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece."John 19:23
The day Jesus went to the cross Jesus took our sins and our sicknesses, but also, if that weren't enough, He also took our poverty. Poverty is one of the curses that Jesus suffered for our sake. They stripped Him down, cast lots for His clothes and left Him to die on the cross with nothing left.
We, as children of God, must not let Jesus sufferings be in vain. We must seek the things that He died to provide for us. Learn from the Word of God how to be good stewards and use your God-given blessings to serve the needs of others, be faithful, trustworthy, diligent, accountable, and have humility. And receive and enjoy our salvation from all the curses of sin.
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper
in all things and be in health,
just as your soul prospers.
3rd John 1; 2
God proved that you are welcome to come to Him when He spread His arms on the cross for you. There is no sin greater than the love of God.
I repeat, there is no sin greater than the love of God. The Blood of Jesus is strong enough to pay for all your sins. Believe it and receive your forgiveness today.
The only unforgivable sin is not believing in Jesus, the conviction of the Holy Spirit, called blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. John 16:8-11
Jesus said, "And He (the Holy Spirit) when He is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not in me;" John 16:8-9 (ASV)
Would you like to renew your commitment to Jesus today or receive Him with your whole heart for the first time?
Choose to believe in the Name of Jesus. Receive Him as your Lord and Savior. Decide to give your life to Him as He gave His life for you.
Ask Him to transform you, and begin living fully for Him now.
Hear the call from Heaven—respond now by openly confessing Jesus as Lord with your own words and a sincere heart.
Believe He died and rose for you. Decide today to accept Him and be 'Born Again' to receive eternal life.
Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Isaiah 55:6,7 (NKJV)
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
'But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”Romans 5:8 9KJV)
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”John 3:16 (NKJV)“
Don't delay; ask Him to come into your heart right now and experience His love.
It is written: if you openly confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 (NKJV)
Believe and receive Jesus today for eternal salvation.
