THE CROSS AND PROSPERITY

BIBLE READING: ‭‭II CORINTHIANS ‬ ‭8:9‬

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.” 2 Cor. 8:9

Jesus' death on the cross of Calvary did more than purchase freedom from sin for us. His death also redeemed us from the curse of poverty. Jesus as the Son of God and the Word of God who created all things, dwelt in eternity with the riches and wealth of heaven, at His every beck and call. He had many crowns on His head and yet He left it all behind to come to earth, to save mankind.

As He went to the cross, He exchanged the crown of glory for a crown of thorns, thereby redeeming man from poverty and from the curse of fruitless labor without productivity. Our scripture for today emphasizes it; Jesus left all his wealth behind and became poor exchanging our poverty for his wealth. Hallelujah.

In the book of John 18:8... Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way..." ‭When the soldiers came for Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus struck a deal with the devil. He told the devil that he had to let us go if he was going to arrest and kill Jesus. He said, “let these ones go if you have come for Me.” Meaning if you put death on me, you can’t put death on these ones, if you put sickness on me, you can’t put it on these ones and in the same way if you out poverty on Me, you can’t put it on them. The devil agreed to the deal and killed Jesus, as a result with His death, Jesus purchased for us prosperity and abundance.

So, every time you see yourself in lack and want, remember that your prosperity has been paid for and poverty is illegal in your life. Hallelujah.

PRAYER:
Lord I know, that I am not the poor trying to be rich, I am the wealthy manifesting and maintaining my wealth. Thank you Lord for this gift as I live in Dominion, in Jesus name, Amen.
