2 Corinthians 8:9 (NET) For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you by his poverty could become rich.
If the Lord Jesus was rich but became poor so that through His poverty we might be made rich, the kind of riches He gives is the kind of riches that He has.
There are riches that the devil can give, but this is different from that that Jesus gives. You see, the blessing of the Lord, makes rich, and He adds no sorrow(see Prov 10:22). The empowerment from the devil may make one rich, but he would add much sorrow. A spirit cannot give you something without leaving its fingerprint in your life. Every spirit apart from the Holy Spirit that enriches people leaves its fingerprint of sorrow and destruction in their lives.
The man the Lord blesses is the man who focuses on Him and not on riches. One way to know such a man is by checking how he responds to God’s word. Such a person delights in the word of God (see Psalm 1:1-3).
Go into today knowing that the type of riches Jesus gives is eternal, nothing of this realm can affect it; it manifests in this realm and yet cannot be affected by the forces in this realm.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, please empower me to walk in the riches of Christ, in Jesus’ name. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi
