In Church you find many who are poor and their blaming God. You find many who wants to begin a business or something and it’s not happening and they are blaming God.
Mathew 6:33 “seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness and all other things shall be given unto you”
When you come into Christ there are three main gifts you receive. The first is the gift of eternal life. The second is the gift of the Holy Spirit and the last is the gift of righteousness. Out of this all other things emanate.

Today there are some things that are being preached such as the gospel of prosperity and the gospel of Grace. Christ did not die on the cross that you receive grace. Today people are pastors because they want to be rich and people are in church because they want to be rich. They have missed the mark. There is a scripture that makes it easier for them to preach this and that is 2 Corinthians 8:9. If you are not spiritually inclined you can’t discern this scripture. People will think the cross was to fulfill our prosperity. What kind of riches did Christ possess and why did He become poor? Philippians 2:5-7 Christ was rich because He was in the form with the father but counts it nothing and took on humanity and became poor. The bible is not talking about cars. Jesus did not die that you marry or buy a car. He died that you will be saved. Jesus was slayed on the cross and the glory that he receives belonged to us.

What is the glory that Jesus received? Revelation 5:12 makes it clear that the first thing you receive when you become born again is power and the next is wealth. When Jesus was transformed from a divine nature to a natural man He became a servant. After resurrection He left Humanity back into divinity so once you die with Him on the cross through salvation you are transformed into divinity. Once you receive these things, His honor is with you and His glory is with you. Proverbs 10:22 says that the blessings you receive from the Lord makes you rich.

When you receive eternal life, the blessings will come and the blessings will make you rich. In Christ you live a life after Christ not after man so as He is so are you. In the Garden of Eden where were originally placed we lost it so He came to restore us into the garden. In the garden God blessed Adam. Adam never farmed in the garden until He sinned. He had nothing to do until He sinned. What brought this calamity to us is our sin. Adam sinned and was sacked from the household of God and became a servant. He Jesus then on the form of a servant though He was a son. So Jesus came torestore us in full into our son nature. You walk in power and authority and dominion when you receive Christ. God came to restore us through Christ Jesus. How does He do this?

He redeems us unto his nature and causes us to walk in a righteous way when we accept our sinful change and receive Him. Out of the righteous walk will come power, dominion and authority.
To find favor in the sight of men love God and keep His commandment. God did not create money He created silver and gold which are heavier and precious than gold. Proverbs 3:1-9, God’s blessings bring to you riches. Today people are sowing dangerous seeds and many of this seeds are useless. For example when you sow a seed to marry a lady and you are still fornicating with the lady you will not receive the blessings of God. God’s blessings will not come through Human deeds, it emanate through eternal life.

The gift of righteousness is what makes grace function in your life. But today people think grace will make righteousness function in your life. Grace is a component of righteousness. Grace redeems you to become like Christ and in Christ you a son of righteousness. Isaiah 3:10, the fruit is the result of your righteousness. The fruit you enjoy is as a result of your righteousness. Your righteousness now produces grace.
When do I need grace? It is when I fall and when I am weak. From 2 Corinthians 12:9, as long as you stand firm in holiness you do not require grace. Jesus Christ did not function in grace. He knew no sin. When Moses entered the presence of God for forty days and forty nights he did not require grace. When you enter the presence of God you lose yourself. In forty days Moses never sinned so He did not require grace. Righteousness has been given to you as a gift to prepare you unto holiness. A righteous man is a blameless man but a Holy man is a perfect man.
If you demand God’s blessings you must put aside your own understanding. If you come honoring God with all that you have and you are not righteous you remain the same.
Your giving alone will not push heaven. You give and obey. If you do not keep the commandment you will remain poor. The commandment is first.

Proverbs 10:1-3, tells us that your prosperity lies in your righteousness. When you are righteous and you pronounce blessings on your life it comes to pass. God has blessed the righteous. Your righteousness will produce grace. Once you are righteous, grace abounds in all things. Your freedom to put away poverty forever is in the knowing that righteousness will produce. Righteousness is a gift given unto you but to retain it is not a gift. Your deeds will maintain it. In that state of good deeds you are assured of permanent grace. What is keeping you away from walking in the supernatural is your flesh. The key to getting to the supernatural level is your righteousness.

Psalm 23:3-4, makes us understand that out of your righteousness, you are delivered, and you have fellowship with the Lord. When you feed on the word of God, your enemies become useless. And in the verse 6 of Psalm 23, David says good and mercies which is prosperity will follow Him. As you dwell in the house of God forever and ever you shall prosper. Those who dwell in the house of God are sons not servants.

Who do you think will read all these nonsense?
