POVERTY IS NOT FOR YOU BY REV. (DR.) CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
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 youβre born again, poverty becomes completely unacceptable in your life. I know thereβre people who believe Christians ought to be poor, but thatβs due to their lack of understanding of the Scriptures. Poverty is not the absence of money, or other required necessities of life; itβs actually the disabling of a manβs mental prowess. Itβs that state where a personβs mind shuts down, and that person believes that he or she canβt do anything to change his state.
But thatβs not the case with the one whoβs born again and lives by the Word; itβs 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 youβre born again. Once you accept this truth in your spirit, and allow it dominate your thinking, itβll give you a new mind-set. Itβll 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 heβs not poor, for he actually has an inheritance in Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:21 says, ββ¦all things are yours.β Therefore, refuse and reject the down life; donβt live as a victim. Get to the Word and become knowledgeable about your untold wealth in Christ. God said, βMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledgeβ¦β (Hosea 4:6). Refuse to walk in ignorance, but in the knowledge of your inheritance in Christ.
