Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional January 27th – Kick Poverty Out Of Your Life

(God’s Prosperity Is Yours To Enjoy)

TO THE BIBLE: 2 Corinthians 8:9 TLB
“You know how full of love and kindness our Lord Jesus was: though he was so very rich, yet to help you he became so very poor, so that by being poor he could make you rich.”

LET’S TALK
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 to dominate your thinking, it’ll give you a new mindset. 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.

Pray:
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.
