Finances Creflo A. Dollar Your Inheritance of Wealth and Riches Poverty is not the will of God for any believer. Despite this truth, some people have taken a vow of poverty. Some Christians believe that poverty is part of being holy and righteous. This is far from the truth. Poverty has nothing to do with godliness. To be poor or impoverished means, to be without; in lack; deprived. You and I dont serve a God of lack and insufficiency. Hes the God of the exceeding and abundant Who wants to lavish you with His goodness (Ephesians 3:20). From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible proves that poverty goes against everything God desires for believers. Poverty is a spirit designed to keep believers in financial bondage. The devil uses this spirit to hinder Christians from prospering and ultimately fulfilling their destiny of being a blessing to the entire world (Genesis 12:2-3). God favors prosperity. According to Psalm 35:27 and 3 John 2, He is pleased when you prosper in your spirit, soul and body. His desire is that you prosper economically, socially, emotionally, mentally and physically. Thats total life prosperity. If you truly want to live holy and righteous before God, renew your mind by studying Gods Word concerning true prosperity. Claim Your Spiritual Birthright Although Gods perfect will is for you to succeed in all aspects of life, lets concentrate on your financial prosperity. Finances are a major dilemma for most people. Debt and insufficiency are common causes for divorce, depression, suicide and murder. As a believer, you are a member of Gods family and have a royal, spiritual birthright (John 1:12; Galatians 4:4-6; 1 Peter 2:9). Romans 8:17 in The Amplified Bible says, .if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him].. Not only does the universe, earth and everything in them belong to Jesus, they also belong to you as part of your inheritance (Psalm 24:1; Psalm 115:16)! You were made wealthy and rich before you came into existence. Youve been predestined to prosper financially. According to Ephesians 1:4-5, God chose to bless you before the foundation of the world as evidence of the holiness and righteousness made available to you through Jesus death and resurrection (2 Corinthians 5:21). As the righteousness of God, your inheritance of wealth and riches is included in the spiritual blessings (or spiritual things) the Apostle Paul spoke of in Ephesians 1:5. Based on Psalm 112:3, righteousness, wealth and riches go hand in hand. You have every right to live wealthy and possess material riches-clothes, jewelry, houses, cars and money-in abundance. The Bible says that wealth is stored up for the righteous (Proverbs 13:22, New American Standard). However, it will remain stored up until you claim it. Therefore, claim it NOW! You possess the blessing to seize and command wealth and riches to come to you (Deuteronomy 8:18). Exercise that power by speaking faith-filled words daily and taking practical steps to eradicate debt. Like God, you can speak spiritual blessings into existence (Romans 4:17). Remember, doubt keeps silent, but faith speaks!
