If, in spite of all the Bible's
promises about prosperity...in spite of all the prayers you've
prayed...you are still struggling financially, consider this question: Where do you think God is going to get the resources to meet your needs?
Many
believers limit God without even realizing it by training their eyes on
the limited resources of this world rather than the unlimited riches of
God's kingdom. Their faith fails when they think of the troubled
economy on the earth, of the shortages and scarcity that surround them.
They wonder, How is God going to bless me in the middle of all this?
If that's what you've been thinking, here's some news that will turn those thoughts around!
The
Bible says God has "delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son." To be translated means
"to be taken out of one place and put into another." In other words,
your citizenship is not primarily of this earth. You are not primarily
American or Canadian or Australian—you are first and foremost a citizen
of the kingdom of God.
That means this planet doesn't have any
right to dictate to you whether your needs are met or not. The Bible
says God will meet your needs according to His riches in glory
(Philippians 4:19)! You can live by heaven's economy, not earth's
economy—and in heaven there is always more than enough.
Wake up to
the abundance of heaven that's been made yours through Jesus. Wake up
to the fact that you've been translated out of a world of poverty into a
kingdom of abundance. Rejoice. Heaven's unlimited resources have been
made available to you!
