Believe In What He’s Done for You
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).
This verse of scripture is quite instructive; it says
although Jesus was rich, He made Himself
poor, so that you, through His poverty might be made
rich. Someone may say, “Oh yes! He became poor for
us spiritually”; no. Paul wasn’t talking about spiritual
riches and spiritual poverty, because Jesus never
became any less the Son of God in His physical body
than He was in the bosom of the Father. When you
study the entire chapter in context, you’d understand
that He was talking about financial and material
prosperity.
For our sake, He laid down His reputation, His
riches, His wealth; He laid down everything and
identified Himself with us, and took our place. He
became us. Everything He did was for your sake. He
wasn’t poor, but He became poor for your sake. In
the same way, you weren’t rich, but now through Him,
you’ve been made rich, just as in Him you’ve been
made righteous. Until you understand this revelation,
you’ll never enter into your wealthy place in God.
Your trust shouldn’t be in the government, the
society or in the job that you do. Your trust shouldn’t
be in any banking reform. Your trust has to be in the
Word; in whom and what Christ has made you. He’s
fulfilled His part. He said, “...Lo, I come (in the volume
of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O
God” (Hebrews 10:7). He already became poor so
that you, through His poverty, might become rich.
Now, you’re to step into what He’s done for you and
made you. Believe in what He’s done for you, and
take advantage of it.
Prayer
Dear Father, I’m forever grateful for my glorious inheritance in
Christ! As an heir of prosperity, I live to bless others and lift
them out of the thraldom of lack through the power of your
Spirit that’s at work in me. I walk in super-abundance, and
experience undeniable success in all that I do, in Jesus’Name.Amen.
