Psalm 66:12 “Thou hast caused men to RIDE OVER OUR HEADS; we went through FIRE and through WATER: but thou broughtest us out INTO A WEALTHY PLACE”. Philippians 4:19 “But my GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED according to His riches in Glory by CHRIST JESUS”.

From our recent research and studies, we discovered the three levels of poverty that the believer must reject, resist and annul. God’s Word is the final authority on any doctrine, concerning the Christian faith. God wants His people to prosper. The LORD delights greatly in the prosperity of His people. 3John: 2 “Beloved, I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS that thou MAYEST PROSPER and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”. One of the irrevocable products of our redemption through the Holy sacrifice of JESUS on earth is our prosperity.

2 Corinthians 8: 9 “For ye KNOW THE GRACE of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, that, though He was rich, yet FOR YOUR SAKES HE BECAME POOR, that ye through HIS POVERTY might BE RICH”. JESUS became exceedingly poor, so that through His exceeding poverty, we would become exceedingly rich. However, there is a warfare going on globally and this warfare is spiritual but basically, very economic. The devil goes about to make people poor, so that they will not fulfil their destiny, as they are kept perpetually in a limited form of existence and retrogression.

Proverbs 10: 15 “The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, THE DESTRUCTION OF THE POOR IS THEIR POVERTY”. Poverty is very destructive, as it keeps people wallowing in penury and wretchedness. Poverty is spiritual and must be dealt with spiritually with prayer, strategic warfare and investments. You must hate poverty and uproot its root and viruses in every form of manifestation. From Psalm 66: 12, the believer is expected to MIGRATE to the FOURTH REALM OF OPULENCE, abundance and RICH FULFILMENT called the WEALTHY PLACE. Globally, people live at these four levels of economic space.

(1) STATE OF ABJECT POVERTY – “Men have ruled over our heads”. This is a state of economic oppression, where the rich rules oppressively over the poor. Proverbs 22: 7 “THE RICH RULETH OVER THE POOR, and the borrower is servant to the lender”.

(2) STATE OF TERMINAL POVERTY – “We have gone through fire”. This is a state of spiritual poverty, where the fire of poverty ravages individuals’ lives. They live without basic necessities of life. Men and women would go for days without food; not because they are fasting, but because they have no food to eat. This state is prevalent in some developing nations, where whole families are being ravaged and wiped out by the fire of poverty.

(3) STATE OF TEMPORAL POVERTY – “We have gone through water”. This third stage is the state of temporal poverty and marginal prosperity, where although there is an income, but expenditure is always greater than the income.

(4) STATE OF OPULENCE AND PROSPERITY – “Thou broughtest us into a wealthy place”. This is the state that God purchased for all His children through the Blood of JESUS. This is the STATE OF MORE THAN ENOUGH, where God supplies all our needs according to His riches in Glory by CHRIST JESUS. It is a state, where God is our SOURCE, our SHEPHERD and we do not lack for any good thing. Through SEED FAITH and strategic prayer, you can migrate to your wealthy place. The Grace of God is able to take you and make you a SOMEBODY, where you have been a NOBODY.

The Power of God, with the favour of God and the Wisdom of God in your life, will break the backbone of poverty in every area of your life. As you sow SEED of faith, Supernatural doors will open for you. Your Gifts and Seeds of faith will make room for you and bring you before Great men and Institutions, who will empower you to prosper. Today, release the BLOOD of JESUS against every force of poverty operating around you. You have been redeemed from poverty, lack and wretchedness through the Sacrifice of JESUS CHRIST. Now, move and live permanently in your WEALTHY PLACE.

Prayer: Father God, I thank you for the redemption, which I have in Christ JESUS. Christ, the Anointed One, has redeemed me with His Anointed BLOOD from the curse of the law, from the curse of sin, poverty, wretchedness and spiritual death. I plead the BLOOD of JESUS against poverty and wretchedness. Through the BLOOD of JESUS, I move to my wealthy place.
Amen.
