Kingdom Wealth is Unlimited (Access)
Deuteronomy 8:17-18, “You may say to yourself, ‘My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.’ However, remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability (power) to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant (promise), which He swore to your ancestors, as it is today.”
The reason we have these things in our house or storage is because we’ve used the word “my or mine”
The Lord created heaven and earth. In Psalm 24:1-2, He founded it means He doesn’t own it because somebody gave it to Him. He owns it because He created this, which means the Lord had creative ownership rights. He owns the earth, the world (governing system) and everything in it belongs to Him. Remember, Moses and Pharaoh in the book of Exodus.
The Lord is what makes a king, King. Lord. Therefore, owns everything under His influence. In the kingdom, there’s no private ownership. Throughout the Bible, it says, “Thus says the Lord.” For example, Pharaoh, so that Pharaoh may know that “I am the Lord (owner).” (Exodus 7:5) That’s the reason we give to protect ourselves. We don’t give to get. This is the kingdom way. A benevolent king is loving. He will never harm you or hurt you. He loves the citizens. Lordship is the foundation of commonwealth of a country. Why? There’s no private ownership, but only access.
According to the word of God, God gives us the ability to produce wealth. That means God doesn’t give us money or wealth, He gives us the ability (gifts or talents) to get wealth or money. God gives us ideas. Christian people pray for money. Kingdom people pray for ideas. We are as poor as our ideas. Let’s pray that God gives us divine ideas to produce wealth.
There’s a reason why, God didn’t say, He produces riches because rich people own things. Poor people own nothing. However, the wealthy people have ideas. Poor people spend money. Rich people save money. However, wealthy people invest and grow money. Poor people always talk about money. Rich people always discuss things. My car, my house, my clothes, my land, etc. Wealthy people talk about ideas. That’s why a wealthy person doesn’t keep company with some people. They don’t discuss money, but ideas. This is how we can distinguish the poor, the rich and the wealthy.
God wants to end that spirit of ownership today. We have access, to the kingdom of God. One of the kingdom’s glory (wealth) is called a commonwealth, not common-rich. Kingdom wealth is unlimited (to access). It’s not possessing things, it’s access. Kingdom wealth is access to provision from the source of our assignment. When someone gives us an assignment, they’re supposed to give us the material. That means God is responsible for supplying us the material. We are not under pressure, but make sure we are on the right assignment. He is not responsible for paying for our assignment, only His. We don’t come to God and ask God to pay for our assignment. The proper way is to obtain our assignment and vision from God. He will make sure and take care of every detail. The key to the kingdom’s wealth is citizenship. If we are not a citizen, then we cannot claim or have the rights to what’s in the kingdom. Today, God is handing out passports and His ambassadors (us) are near you. For you give your life to Jesus, our king. Then, you can enter His kingdom and receive the gift of righteousness and everything you need will be provided. God bless you!
Food for thought: Acts 17:24-25, “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And He is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, He himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” In other word saints everything we have comes from Him, and even the ones in our pockets and purses. He doesn’t need anything from us. Giving, tells God, we depend on Him. It reminds Him, we are not a thief in the kingdom. Also, we don’t own anything. Giving is the greatest sign or indication, we are a kingdom citizen. This makes God happy. It’s not what we receive that proves we are a citizen is what we give up. “Apart from Him, we cannot do anything.” Like the vine (gray) and the branches (green). The grapes are attached to the branches. The branches and the leaves are green, but there’s no life in the branch, it’s on the vine (Jesus). The vine (Jesus) feeds the branches (us). (John 15:1-5)
