The underlain part of our theme verse reveals that God takes pleasure in our well-being or prosperity. Psalms 104:24 declares that the earth is full of God's riches. The Lord put the riches there because of man. From Genesis it is clear that poverty is not God's plan for man. These riches are an expression of God's goodness towards man. Genesis 1:31 attest, "And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good". Gen 2:10-12 gives some inventory of precious stones in the earth, "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone". God did not put these precious minerals for himself but for man's use. 2 Corinthians 8:9 declares "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". God wants you to financially and materially prosper just as you prosper spiritually. Financial prosperity is God's plan and heritage for His children. If you accept poverty it means you are not grateful to the Lord for what He did both in the original creation and in the new creation in Christ. Embrace financial prosperity as God's kind gift to you in His heritage package. Categorically refuse to be poor because you are not.
