I have a rich inheritance in Christ!

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:19

The bible says my God shall supply. Oh, what a personal provider my God is! The word says my God will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. O! How rich my Lord Jesus is will be measure of the riches and abundance of the providence I have in this world. For as Christ is, so am I in this world! I have Jesus Christ in my life!

Material riches is not the only blessing that I have received from Christ Jesus. But make no mistake about the truth that God wants me to be financially prospered. He wants us to be blessed in every aspect of our lives. He wants our souls to be prosperous and be in good health as our souls prosper. He wants us to be so blessed that we become a blessing to those around us.

We are blessed with the blessings of Abraham. Abraham was healthy and wealthy. He lived to a good old age one hundred and seventy five. Abraham also had lots of livestock and gold and silver. That was financial prosperity.

God wants us to be blessed in every area of our lives. He wants us to be in the pink of health. It will not be glorifying to God if His people are sick and poor and broken. It is His covenant at stake when Christians are sick and poor for He is rich God. However, when things happen, what are we believing at that time? Are we having a wrong belief about God or the right belief about God when things happen?

The doctrine that we receive determines our belief system. Are we seeing God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit as a loving God who is ever ready to help us and to lift us up or are we perceiving a demanding God who is always on a sin hunt? For how we see God will drastically determine our belief system which will dictate our corresponding actions.

If we think God is a miser and always demanding from men, then we will always be working for our blessings. We will always be doing things to please God. We will probably be self-centered for that's how God is been perceived. We may be even working hard at our salvation. Nothing can be further from the truth!

God is a loving God! For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us at the cross so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but has everlasting life. God wants us to reign in this life and not the eternal life that follows when we meet Jesus face to face. He wants us to put our trust in Him even when situations are heading southward. He wants to deliver us out of every pit that we put ourselves in. He wants to prosper and bless us beyond our wildest dream! For He will give exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can ask or think of. So ask big and God has to top it. Dream big and God will still supply with more than we can dream of.

It is better to put our trust in God than to put our trust in men. Keep believing God and His word and see His wondrous working power manifesting in our lives. Hallelujah!
