Proverbs 22:7 KJV
This does not sound good when one is poor but do you really want to remain poor and have abundant life? So many times Christians have been held back by religious myth that to be rich is a sin and not of God. I have once had people who told me that poverty is good and that God did not call us to be rich. Yet the same people are trying to be financially free. Poverty is not God’s instrument of dealing with us because if it were true then there is no freedom at all. The poor will always be slaves to the rich as long as the saying that the rich rule over the poor is true. You can’t argue otherwise and win. Some Christians have been misled to think that the moment they are rich then God is not with them or that they are not holy. Money or riches do not change who you are instead it reveals who you truly are.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. (Ephesians 3:20 KJV) tells us that God wants us to live in abundance.
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10 KJV) also speaks of God’s promise of abundance to his people.
Abundance is good and it is God’s blessing to his people. You simply have to embrace the abundant mindset with which the rich operate and leave the scarcity mindset with which the poor have held themselves bondage to the rich.
If you are a borrower, you will always live in bondage to the lender. Let no debt remain outstanding except the continuing debt to love. If you owe find ways to quickly
offset your debt and become a lender if possible. You need a balanced view of life which means you have to learn to be content at all times and not allow greed to overtake you. For the love of money is the root of all evil. If you are poor accept your position at that time and keep working to get out of poverty because no condition is permanent.
