Rebuking the Spirit of Poverty

Joshua Henry

“So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance.”
– Matthew 25: 28 - 29a

There is no lack in the Kingdom of God. 

True wealth, ultimate wisdom, and unlimited time are available to you — at any moment.

So, too is favor, discernment, and resources of every kind if you just reach out and grab them. 

How?

Because each of these things are blessings of abundance that our Heavenly Father has in store for you. 

That’s why the second “A” in The King’s Code is Abundance. 

God is beyond time… 

He is the maker and creator of all… 

And His ways are higher than anything we could ever imagine. 

Your cup will overflow if you allow God to have his way in your life. 

The Master of the Universe, who owns the cattle on a thousand hills, will provide for your every need. 

This is why kings act out of the abundance of Heaven rather than poverty of spirit.

It’s tempting to doubt, worry, and stress when things aren’t going your way. We’ve all been there.

This weight can feel particularly heavy when you’re leading a business, as you want to serve your customers well and ensure you’re providing for your loved ones. 

Maybe you’ve experienced a situation where a key vendor drops you, you lose a client, you’re waiting on receivables, or any number of challenges that may arise. 

In those moments, don’t allow the fear of lack to take control. 

Instead, submit to the Lord, ask for His will in your situation, and seek the Abundance He has planned for you. 

Then, take action accordingly. In doing so, you’ll set yourself up to let God overflow your cup.
