LEVEL UP!

Jesus bore our poverty on the cross so that we might be rich and reign on the earth. So what level of prosperity should we be living in? A great number of believers have allowed themselves get so satisfied with their status quo that mentally, they are so used to living in lack and want that they do not want a life of prosperity and blessing, forgetting that Jesus said “You’ll always have the poor with you” John 12:8. God desires that we be a blessing to others and nations around us, but for some reason, Christians have chosen a route that states “I need enough to just get by” meanwhile God wants you to have much more than enough.

2 Cor 9:8 “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; ….” It’s important to take note of words like ‘abound’, ‘abundance’, and ‘all sufficiency’. God wants us to have abundance for every good work. Apostle Paul says we are God’s workmanship created unto good works created in Jesus Christ for the purpose of doing good works (Eph 2:10). What does good works mean? God prepared these good works that we must do much in advance before we knew Him – even before the world was created.

When we get to know Jesus as Lord and Savior, and we build a relationship with Him, He shows us His specific plan and purpose for our life, He tells us the particular good work that He wants us to do, God saved us so we may fulfil His plan. We must level up! We may have a small vision or no vision at all, but when we have a relationship with Jesus, He gives us a big vision, He makes us think big beyond our level of ability.

Confession: My capacity to be a blessing increases daily. I walk into my inheritance according to Deuteronomy 6:10-11. I take over great and flourishing businesses and. I acquire houses fully furnished, wells I did not dig, vineyards and olive trees I did not plant. Significant revenue channels open up to me that I didn’t struggle to create.
