PROSPERITY IS YOURS

2 Corinthians 8:9; “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.”
Wow! I’m ever so thrilled when I read this portion of Scripture. This is our guarantee for a life of supernatural abundance. We’re so rich, it’s impossible to quantify our wealth.
“But, Pastor Chris, is that really possible?” you ask Well,” (Job 22:24); the Bible says, “Then shalt thou layup gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks” 
(2 Corinthians 8:9); 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”

What’s most amazing is the fact that when we start talking like this, the religious folks are the first to raise their eyebrows. In Luke 7:33:35, Jesus rebuking the Pharisees and Sadducees, said,” For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! Even at that time, the religious folks were the foremost critics of the Master’s lifestyle. It’s still the same today! One thing religious folks can’t stand is prosperity. It unsettles them and makes them restless: (Isaiah 57:20); “But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest whose waters cast up mire and dirt.” But thank God the Bible says (Psalm 107:42); “The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.” When you talk big and things start looking up for you in life, you’ll discover that those who grumble are the religious people in our midst. If they spend more time with their Bibles and believe what they read and hear, they’ll know.

Psalm 35:27; “Let them shout for joy and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant”
Prosperity is yours in Christ Jesus, so don’t let anybody deceive you. There’s nothing too good for you because you’re the king’s kid! Don’t mind those who say otherwise, just keep talking and living happy. When you see a fellow brother or sister prospering, be happy and rejoice with him or her. Hallelujah
