We know that someone has a poverty mindset when they don’t have any food, and they are pretending to eat a bologna sandwich. If we’re going to pretend to eat something, let’s pretend to eat steak. We cannot have a poverty mindset when we serve an abundant, excessive God. The two ways of thinking contradict each other. God wants the church so blessed and empowered that they live in the world but are not of the world. We have to get into agreement with him first.
Abram Was Very Rich In Livestock, In Silver, And In Gold (Genesis 13:2)
If we want to be like Abraham, then having total wealth and health means never saying, “I don’t know what God is going to do.” We need to get into agreement with what he says about us and stop thinking with a poverty mindset.
Say This With Me
Lord, I know that you give me the ability to produce wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18) and that you do not show favoritism (Romans 2:11). If you did it for Abraham then you’ll do it for me. I believe you when you say that you have plans to prosper me (Jeremiah 29:11)), that you want me to prosper in all things (3 John 1:2) and that you are can do exceedingly abundantly more than I ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). I know that what I bind on earth (by what I say) is bound in heaven and what I loose on earth is loosed in heaven (Matthew 18:18), so I am in agreement with YOU. In Jesus name, Amen.
