From Revelation 21:10, “And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and
high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending
out of heaven from God.”
Heaven is a place of unfathomable wealth. It is a place of unthinkable
prosperity. That is why we are told that the foundation of the walls was laid
with the most precious stones and even the walls themselves were made of choice
precious stones. Then the streets were paved with gold.
So, how does it look like in Heaven? It is a place of unusual splendour, a
place of unimaginable wealth. Heaven is a place of supernatural dimensions of
wealth.
I was walking on the streets of Oral Roberts University someday in August 1987.
And looking at what God has done there, I knew that God is in command of
wealth. Then after one of those meetings, as the worship session ended, the
Lord spoke to me clearly, “My son, get down home and make my people rich.” That
is why I know that I am a messenger of God’s kind of prosperity and I am going
to show you how to connect this dimension of wealth.
As was mentioned earlier, you and I were in earthly places before Jesus came.
And as long as you are on this earth you are a candidate for the poverty that
indwells the earth. For it is written, “…..the poor shall never cease out of
the land….” (Deut. 15:11). So this earth is the dwelling place of the poor. But
when Jesus came, He said, “This is not where you belong originally, come with
Me to your actual place. “Then He took you from the earthly places and sat you
down in the heavenly places where poverty cannot come.
What is obtainable in Heaven? The Bible describes it as pleasures forever more
not pressures. Meaning that God has no plan for pressures for you rather He has
concluded all arrangements for you to enter into unending pleasure.
God’s word says in 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.”
That is God’s programme. Wealth is part and parcel of redemption. Jesus came
down here, suffered lack that we through His poverty might be made rich. That
lack we are talking about is of course in comparison to His heavenly glory,
because of the dimension of wealth. The dimension of wealth Jesus operated even
while on earth is still a great deal more than what some Christians may ever
live to have.
Font you know that He never begged for money from anyone all through His
earthly ministry – not even once? When they were going to crucify Him, they
could not distinguish between Him and His disciples, because they were all
gorgeously arrayed.
He always moved about in a convoy – He had a ship and other little ships with
Him. When He needed to spend time alone with His disciples, it was the upper
room that was prepared for Him. He had everything, yet the Bible says it was
poverty compared to His riches in glory. As soon as He started ministry, He had
a treasurer who was even a thief, yet there was no lack. That is a dimension of
wealth that no earthly circumstance can have a hold on. That is where God is
bringing you.
You are now in Heavenly places, why must you be a victim of earthly sufferings?
YOU NEED KNOWLEDGE
There is a prophetic parable narrated in Isaiah 5:1-13. We are told that the
Lord God planted a vineyard on a most fruitful hill, He fenced it, took care of
it and planted in it the choicest vine. Then He waited for it to bring forth
fruits and instead of good fruits it brought forth negative fruits. And in
exasperation He asked:
“And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you,
betwixt me and my vineyard. What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?
Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth
wild grapes?”
- Isaiah 5:3-4
That’s redemption in a picture, just as God planted the vineyard, cleared it
for all debris, planted the choicest vine in it and fenced it to ward of
trespassers, redeption covers your soul, your body, your social life, etc That
is, your soul is saved, your body is free from sickness, you’re protected and
provided for. It’s all in one package (Psalm 103:1-5). Even though you are planted on a most fruitful hill, you still need a working
knowledge of the truth to enjoy that comprehensive redemption package.
“Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge:
and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with
thirst.”- Isaiah 5:13
The destiny of His people is most colourful, their heritage is most enviable,
but they’ve gone into captivity because they lack knowledge. That is the case
with many believers today. They do not understand God’s provision for their
enrichment. But by strength shall no man prevail.
Human effort can provide some dimension of wealth, but true explosive wealth
cannot be accessed by human effort. Look at Solomon for instance, God blessed
him with a dimension of wealth that could only be described as Heavenly. Yet
Jesus said he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than Solomon.
So, potentially you are to command great dimensions of wealth than even
Solomon. Yet the potentials you carry are not enough, you have to make a
conscious discovery and begin to walk in the consciousness of that discovery.
You won’t carry your redemptive potentials to the grave.
WHY WILL GOD PROSPER YOU?
Three reasons stand out clearly as the reason God has programmed to prosper
you:
• He wants you to enjoy living (I Tim 6:17)
• Your prosperity is a tool for the accomplishment of the Great Commission
(Haggai 2:6-8)
• Wealth is a major sickle in bringing in the endtime harvest (Zech. 8:16-23).
THE ALL-TIME ACCESS
There is no amount of human effort that can attain to the order of wealth we
are talking about. It takes supernatural empowerment to walk in this dimension
of heavenly wealth. And it is walking in the covenant that empowers you for
heavenly wealth.
“But thou shall remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power
to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy
fathers, as it is this day.”
- Deuteronomy 8:18
God blesses people to make them a blessing. Until you are prepared to be a
blessing, you are not a candidate for blessings. Giving is no gimmicks, it is
covenant walk. And when you’re walking in that covenant, you’re committing God
to bless you. This is how to enjoy heavenly wealth. This is your time!
