THEME: I AM RICH (2 Cor 8:9)

DAY 17
SERIES: I AM CHRISTLIKE
TOPIC: Living Like Christ (1)
TEXT: 1 John 2:6 NIV
6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

God did not create man because He needed a servant. He created man because He wanted someone who would manifest His character and His nature. If we forget this truth, it is easy to get sidetracked into imagining that service for God is the primary purpose of our salvation in Christ. This is the mistake that many believers have made.

Our Father in heaven and the Holy Spirit in our hearts are both working towards one goal - that we might become like Jesus. The more we become like our Lord in character, the more we will live on earth as He lived. What is this Character of Jesus Christ? How did He live his life on earth? Briefly let us examine the character of our Lord Jesus Christ while on earth as Man:

1. He had love and was passionate to all. His love was greater than anything. As Christians, we are called to do the same.
John 15:9 (NKJV) “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. “
John 15:3 “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
John 13:34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”

Love covers a multitude of sins. When we love people and love God, we are obeying Him.

PRAYER: Father may your love envelop and radiate through me to the world in Jesus name.

2. He showed Empathy. When the woman who committed, adultery was brought to Jesus, He showed empathy by understanding this woman and sharing in her pain, hurt, shame and humiliation. Instead of judging her harshly, He extended love and mercy instead.

PRAYER: Oh God, help me not to be judgmental and may I not turn a blind eye to any form of evil in Jesus name.

3. He lived a life of obedience; obedience to God and authority and demonstrated it to us. Jesus did not claim relationship to the Father. He gave us the reason why His Father loved Him. John 15:10.
When you love, you obey. And obedience was in Jesus’ character.

PRAYER: Father, obedience is key to my success and riches, I am willing and determine to live a life of obedience, help me in Jesus name.

4. He was a good listener. John 8:26 “I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17

PRAYER: Father may I not be preoccupied to the point of not listening to others in Jesus name.

5. He was a humble man and announced it Himself. “I am gentle and humble in heart.” Matthew 11:29. What a truly great leader. God honors the humble because they don’t seek their honor.

“And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.”
John 8:50

“Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.”
John 8:54
PRAYER: Oh Lord, you are my perfect example of Humility, help me to stoop willingly and joyfully low in life in Jesus name.

6. He was the light of men, which is the example how men should live. Let holiness and righteousness be features of your daily life and let your good characters preach Jesus among men. Hebrews 12:14.

PRAYER: King of Glory, You set me apart to be a light in the world of darkness, help me to live as such in the name of Jesus.

7. He showed Grace and Forgiveness (John 8:7), On the cross of calvary he still forgive his killers. He submitted to abuses of men without fighting back. He accepted ill-treatment and suffered wrongfully. Your case isn’t between you and your oppressors but between you and God and thus He will fight for you. He is the righteous Judge. 1 Peter 2:19-23.

PRAYER: Father, Forgiveness is one of my greatest weapon of victory, success, and riches, help me constantly forgive anyone that wrongs me in Jesus name.

8. He was holy and undefiled. He never committed sin nor told a lie, as those whose mouths are full of lies in the name of protecting self. He committed Himself to Him who judges righteously. 1 Peter 1:15-16.
PRAYER: Father, I know that without holiness I cannot see you. Help me as I fight this battle in Jesus name.

9. He was Focus to His Goal. Jesus was not a noisemaker or storyteller. He was in the business of His Father. He had to accomplish His assignment and thus nothing outside the assignment took His time. As a Christian, mind what is taking your time, and stick to the Word of God.

PRAYER: I am determined to remain focus to all you had set before me, help me to walk on this path of success in Jesus name.

10. Colossians 3:12
As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord * has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

DAY 15
SERIES: I AM CHRISTLIKE
TOPIC: Saved to Be Like Christ
TEXT: Romans 8:29

We are not saved only to escape hell and go to heaven.
We are not saved to bear the nickname – Christians.
We are not saved to go around shouting Jesus or the blood of Jesus.
We are not saved only to go to church on Sundays then leave to and melt into the world.
We are saved to become like Christ. Remember, it is for that he became poor so that we will be rich. He divinely exchanged our poverty with his riches.

Romans 8:29 reads that God has predestined His people to conform to the image of His Son: that is, to become like Jesus. We all know that when Adam fell, he lost much—though not all—of the divine image in which he had been created. But God has restored it in Christ. Conformity to the image of God means to become like Jesus:
1. To become a participant in the divine nature (2 Pt 1:4)
2. To be holy and blameless in His sight (Eph 1:4, 4:24)
3. To have one’s body transformed just like His glorious Body (Ph 3:21)
4. To be changed into the same likeness of the Lord (2 Cor 3:18)
5. To be recreated just like Him (1 John 3:2-3)
Christlikeness is the eternal predestinating purpose of God. And a proper understanding of our divine essence and purpose repositions our minds towards issues of riches.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, thank you for the grace of strength and perseverance to keep waiting on you, be exalted above all in my Life in Jesus' name.
2. Oh Lord, forgive me of all sins that I might have committed in every way in Jesus' name.
3. Heavenly Father, I pray for a deeper understanding of the purpose of my salvation. Help to know more as I continue this journey of faith in Jesus' name.
4. Oh God, I want to know you more and more, to be like Christ in thoughts, words, and deeds in the mighty name of Jesus.
5. Father, I stand against any form of lukewarmness or lackadaisical attitude, breaking every yoke of complacency in the name of Jesus Christ.
6. I break every altar of weary mind, distraction, confusion, and stagnation in my life in Jesus' name.
7. Father, cause me to hunger and thirst after you, just as the deer pants for streams of water, let my soul pants for you, O God. Let my soul thirst for You the living God. (Ps 42:1)May the urge never to always be in your presence consumes me.

DAY 14
SERIES: I AM INGENIOUS
TOPIC: Developing Your Potential
TEXT: 1 Tim 4:14-15
14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.
15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.

The second word of our acronym for RICH is Ingenious which means: gifts, talents, abilities, and potentials we are all endowed with. It is very important we understand that our unique endowments are our God-given resources for wealth. Paul admonished Timothy not to neglect his gift but must diligently grow at it. We all have the capacity to grow and produce more than we are producing right now. We all can do more for God because you have been empowered.

Today we focus briefly on how to develop our potentials. Two key things that will enable us to achieve this are discipline and self-control. “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls (Proverbs 25:28)”

A lot of people have the right talent, but indiscipline will not allow them manifest. They are not disciplined enough to read books and make research on that very field of interest they have, thereby making them amateur.

If you must dominate this year and rule your world, get busy in the things that will be of value to your life. A man once said there is no time to waste time. the world has no room for men and women who have nothing to offer. Just follow the few steps below:
Step 1: Define Your Goals and Vision. ...
Step 2: Identify Your Strengths and Weaknesses. ...
Step 3: Continuous Learning and Skill Development. ...
Step 4: Build a Strong Professional Network. ...
Step 5: Embrace Challenges and Take Calculated Risks.

SCRIPTURES: PHIL 4:13, EPH 3:20, 1 PET. 2:9-10

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father thank you for every gift, potential and abilities you have endowed me. May your name be praise forever in Jesus name.
2. Oh Lord, according to Proverbs 21:1, I put my life into your hands, nurture and use it to your glory in Jesus name.
3. O Lord, I pray unto you today. Connect me to people and places where my potentials can be developed in Jesus name.
4. O Lord, let doors of opportunities be opened now for my potentials in the name of Jesus.
5. Father, I know I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me, help to stand firm tapping into this great ocean of resources in Jesus name.
6. Eph 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”, Father, thank you because you are able and willing to do more with me. Cause me to hunger for more of You in the mighty name of Jesus.
7. O Lord, by your fire I destroy every veil covering my potential and gifts in the name of Jesus.

DAY 12
SERIES: I AM INGENIOUS
TOPIC: Richly Endowed (1)
TEXT: Psalms 139:13-14
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”

The journey we embarked on eleven days ago on the theme “I Am Rich,” had provided us with understanding, support, and freedom we need to live a successfully here on earth. The acronym: R – redeemed, I – ingenious, C – Christlike and H – Heavenly bound gave us an insight and shade light on the path we need to walk on this year (2024). Haven discussed about the first word (redeemed) we shall look at the second one – Ingenious.

God in his wisdom and loving kindness created us uniquely. He did this ultimately for us to glorify Him and contribute immensely to making and leaving the world a better place. Though sin marred God’s creation at the fall, but Jesus death restored us to his original plan and gave us an unprecedented access to this awesome ability to create.

According to the Bible, creativity is using your imagination to make something new. It is using your God-given talents to bless others and bring glory to God. And it is taking the resources you have been given and making something beautiful out of them.

Man’s creativity is endless, boundless, and impossibly unpredictable. It sets us apart from everything else in the Universe! We’re in a category of our own. It’s our greatest gift because it allows us to not only surprise ourselves, but surprise and inspire our Heavenly Parent, God, as well. Therefore, never accepts the enemies lies that you are a nonentity. The Psalmist awesomely affirmed that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Whatever it takes to succeed in this life resides in you. All you need do is to discover, develop and deploy your potentials and sky will your steppingstone. Proverbs 22:29 stated that “Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.”

PRAYER POINTS
1. Oh God, I am overwhelmed because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Thank you for this grace you had lavished on me.
2. Father, have mercy on me for allowing my ability and potentials to lie dormant. I repent of this callous attitude in Jesus name.
3. Heavenly Father, open my eyes to discover all that you had deposited in me in the Mighty name of Jesus.
4. Father, remove every doubt that hinders me of discovering this great wealth of creativity in me.
5. Baba! help me to stay focused and on track in unlocking my potentials in Jesus name.
6. Oh Lord, I ask for the wisdom I need making decision this year in Jesus name.
7. Father, create in me a hunger to succeed this year. Help me to work hard to exceed or break my past records in Christ.
8. Father let the pursuit of discovering and unleashing my potential be about you alone. May I not focus on my own personal gain or recognition, rather about bringing glory to You in service to others.

TOPIC: Redeemed to Freedom (2) 2 Cor 10:3-5
SUB-TOPIC: Fortifying My Mind
TEXT: 2 Cor 10:3-5
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Breaking stronghold of the mind amount to nothing if we are not ready to fortify it. The battles fought to destroy enemy’s footholds is just half of the journey to complete victory. That is why today we focuses on fortifying our minds, so that the enemy finds it difficult to pe*****te.
The book of Romans 12:2 stated that “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” We are saddle here with daily responsibility of constantly checking, expunging, filling and protecting our minds. We can achieve that by doing the followings:
1. To love the Lord with all our minds (Matt 22:37)
2. To keep our minds upon spiritual things instead of carnal things (Rom 8:5-6).
3. To cast down imaginations and every pretension that interrupts the knowledge of God in us and to captivate every thought for Christ. (2 Cor 10:3-5)
4. To disallow our minds going astray. (2 Cor 11:3)
5. To stop gratifying the cravings of the sinful nature (Eph 2:3)
6. To avoid living as the world lives, in the futility of their thinking (Eph 4:17)
7. To be made new in the attitude of our minds (Eph 4:23)
8. To let the mind of Christ be in us by walking humbly before God and Men (Phil 2:5)
9. To think only upon things that are excellent or praiseworthy (Phil 4:8)
10. To live by the laws of God which God has put into mind (Heb 8:10).
11. To arm ourselves with the same mind of Christ in bearing suffering. (1 Pet 4:1)

PRAYER POINTS
1. Father thank you the grace you gave me to fight this battle of the mind, thank you the power available in the name of Jesus to break every stronghold.
2. Father, at the cause of this battle, I might have wronged you, please forgive me in Jesus name.
3. Oh God, help me to cultivate humility and love in my heart. I humbly come before You, recognizing the stronghold of pride that has distorted my thinking and hindered my relationships. I confess any arrogance or self-centeredness in my heart. Help me to humble myself before You and before others. Fill me with Your love, so that I may genuinely care for and serve those around me in Jesus name.
4. Loving Father, I come before You, recognizing the stronghold of negative self-image and self-condemnation that has affected my thoughts.
5. I confess the lies I have believed about myself and the way I have judged and criticized myself.
6. Help me to see myself through Your eyes of love and acceptance. Fill me with the understanding of my worth and identity in Christ.
7. Let me embrace the truth that I am fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image.
8. Heavenly Father, I desire to break free from the stronghold of mediocrity and pursue excellence in all that I do. Fill me with a spirit of diligence, discipline, and determination. Help me to rise above complacency and to give my best efforts in every aspect of my life. Renew my passion and purpose,so that I may use the gifts and talents You have given me to glorify You. Empower me to make a positive impact on the world around me, striving for excellence in all things, for Your honor and glory in Jesus name.
9. Father, I surrender my mind and thoughts to You, inviting Your Holy Spirit to transform and renew them. Help me to fix my thoughts on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy. Guard me against negative influences and help me to surrender my imagination to align with Your will. In Jesus’ name, I pray.
10. Heavenly Father, I humbly come before You, seeking a renewed and transformed mind. I desire to think and perceive the way You do, to see myself and others through Your eyes. Fill me with Your wisdom, discernment, and understanding. Help me to align my thoughts with Your truth and to resist the lies and deceptions of the world in Jesus name.

TOPIC: Redeemed to Freedom (1)
TEXT: 2 Cor 10:3-5
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

One of the great riches of Christ gotten from redemption is the freedom and the ability to be freed that we enjoy as believers. It is a great asset that people out there are seeking for. Do you know that the freedom God offers throughout Scripture is freedom from the enslaving power of sin in our lives? The Enemy uses sin to obstruct our relationship with God, keeping us from experiencing abundant life in God.

Today we shall focus on how to break stronghold of the mind. The text in consideration pointed out the power, the grace, and the limitless opportunity to deal with every form of negative thoughts in our minds. The tone of the text is an emphatical statement about the right and position we occupied. That is a fantastic blessing!

There are four central stronghold of the mind which are follows:
1. FEAR – The debilitating sense of anxiety that restricts.
2. CONFUSION – That causes double mindless and restlessness.
3. ANGER – Producing frustration, agitation and harm in your life.
4. DESPAIR – Making you believe that life is not worth living.
Satan on daily basis uses these to deter us from enjoying the riches of God. We must pull down every stronghold of the enemy in the mighty name of Jesus. To do so we must use the word of and command every demonic activity against our mind to be shut or expunged.
Against fear study and apply these verses: Ps 46:1-3, 1 John 4:18, Isaiah 41:13, Ps 23:4, Php 4:6, Rom 8:38-39,
Against confusion study and apply these verses: Pro 3:5. Ps 143:8, 3. James 1: 2–5 -, 1 John 4:1, 1 Cor 14:33 , 2 Cor 10:5 , 2 Timothy 1:7 -
Against anger study and apply these verses: Proverbs 14:17, 29, Gal 5:19-21, Jas 1:19-20, Matthew 5:21-26, Eph 4:26-27, John 13:35
Against Despair study and apply verses: Jas 1:2-4, Ps 34:19, Php 4:6, Joshua 1:9, 2 Cor 4:8-9

PRAYER POINTS
1. Heavenly Father, I humbly come before You, acknowledging that You are the source of all strength and deliverance. I surrender my mind to You, knowing that You have the power to break every stronghold that hinders my spiritual growth and mental well-being. Help me to release control and trust in Your divine intervention. I invite Your Holy Spirit to work in me, purging my mind of all negative thoughts and beliefs. Fill me with Your truth and align my thinking with Your perfect will.

2. Gracious God, I confess and repent for allowing negative thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes to take root in my mind. I ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Wash away every impurity and renew my mind with Your truth. Help me to align my thoughts with Your Word and to focus on things that are noble, just, pure, and praiseworthy.

3. Mighty God, I declare that You are the One who casts out all fear. I surrender my fears to You and ask for Your strength and courage to overcome them. Break the stronghold of fear that has gripped my mind, causing anxiety and worry. Replace my fears with a deep trust in Your promises and Your protective care. Fill me with Your perfect love that casts out all fear. Grant me the peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding my mind and heart in Christ Jesus.

4. Loving Father, I bring before You the stronghold of anxiety and worry that has consumed my thoughts. I release all my burdens and concerns to You, knowing that You care for me. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guard my mind and heart, replacing anxious thoughts with trust in Your providence and faithfulness. Help me to focus on Your promises and to cast all my cares upon You, for You sustain me.

5. Faithful God, I come before You, acknowledging the stronghold of doubt and unbelief that has hindered my faith. I confess my doubts and ask for Your forgiveness. Strengthen my faith, O Lord. Help me to trust in Your power, goodness, and faithfulness, even when circumstances seem overwhelming. Renew my mind with Your truth and help me to stand firm on Your promises. I choose to believe and declare that nothing is impossible with You.

6. Compassionate Father, I come before You, acknowledging the stronghold of depression and despair that has clouded my mind. I feel overwhelmed and helpless, but I know that nothing is impossible for You. I ask for Your healing touch to pe*****te the darkest corners of my thoughts and emotions. Fill me with Your light and hope. Lift the weight of sadness and replace it with Your joy. Help me to cling to Your promises, knowing that You are with me and will never leave me.

DAY 8
SERIES: I AM REDEEMED
TOPIC: Redeemed Into Glorious Riches (2)
TEXT: Joel 2:32
And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.

We shall continue to explore our position as the redeemed, understanding that our walk with God need to change. We should see ourselves in a brand-new light. We should know God that has placed such great value on us because He purchased us through the precious blood of His dear Son. Redemption repositions us for a greater and continuous deliverance.

The text above is one of the ancient promises of God to Israel. It was a promise of deliverance from the enemy. We must ask God to search our hearts and bring to our knowledge areas that needs to be freed from the control of the enemy. This is very important because the enemy do prefer to operate stealthily. And such slows or stagnate us of living a life of abundance in Christ Jesus.
Understand that deliverance:
1. Is the expulsion of a bad spirit from a place, person or thing.
2. Is to break the chains of wickedness.
3. The destruction of satanic yokes. A yoke is something that ties two animals together and the movement one depends on the cooperation the other. If one animal decides to be slow or sluggish, it means that the other one cannot move ahead. Yoke retards ones progress.
4. Is removal of curses and spells.
5. Is the spiritual cleansing of an environment or territory.
6. Is removing witchcraft load from the heads of people. Witches put loads on people’s heads, and they do not know.
7. Is uprooting evil seeds planted by the enemy. The enemy is an expert in planting evil seeds in the life a person.
8. Is the removal of any satanic embargo. When there is, an embargo stopping a person from moving forward, deliverance is needed.
9. Is release from evil attachment. Many people are being controlled from afar.

We all need this thorough cleansing to enjoy the fullness of His riches. There are Biblical characters whom God had delivered from oppression, suppression, and several attacks of the enemy.
Examples: David defeated Goliath against all odds, and even after being not the run for his life from King Saul cried out to You in faith to deliver Him. Even after he made terrible mistakes, but God delivered and love still. Paul, who tortured and had other Christians killed, God never left him even in his own jail cell. What we don’t understand is how much God love us regardless of our faults and fears. Below we shall pray using scripture for a part of our deliverance.

PRAYER POINTS WITH BIBLE VERSES
1. Father, bring my hearts to focus on Your Truth at the start of each day, expecting a battle, but also deliverance. Thank you because, even when the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; You have come that they I may have life and have it to the full.” (John 10:10-11).

2. Father, in this overwhelming moment help me to recall the truth of Psalm 32:7, “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Remind me of the greats of faith that have gone before us in bravery, with courageous faith in Your protective hand of deliverance.
3. Father, help us to understand that “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. That we should Stand firm, then, and do not let ourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” (Galatians 5:1).

4. Father, help us turn from shame, make a way for kindness, and rise up for those who cannot speak for themselves and find a way to make sure those who are burdened by distorted thoughts of who they are. Equip us, through the lessons of our own deliverance, to become ambassadors for Your love. For You assure us when we seek You, we will find You, when we seek You with all of our hearts. (Jeremiah 29:13).

5. Father we are grateful that You hear us and care for us beyond our understanding. “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.” Psalm 34:17 We prayerfully proclaim deliverance in our own lives, and in the lives of those suffering next door to us, and around the world. We cry out to You in faith that You will deliver us from our physical pain and mental anguish. “Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.” Psalm 107:6

6. Father, help us to let go of our timeline and embrace Your process and Your perfect timing. Give us the faith and patience to embrace Your process and purpose for our lives, remembering Isaiah 43:18-19, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

7. Oh God, when others mislabel us, give us the grace to pray for and empathize with them, but maintain the truth of what You say about us, and who You say we are. May we always remember to love others above all else (1 Peter 4:8) but have the inner strength to discount and discern lies from Your Truth.

8. Father, help us to shield our hearts from shame and separate our mistakes and missteps from our magnificent purpose in life.

9. Father, grant us the courage to be brave and courageous as Jesus was when we walked this earth, yet kind and compassionate at the same time. Make the impossible possible in our lives as we seek Your will in our lives over our own vindication and defense mechanisms. Help us to remember this powerful truth: “Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray.” James 5:13

10. Deliver us, Father, from the everyday attacks on our conscious, health, relationships, and beyond. From what can see coming and would never expect, protect and deliver us from anything that threatens to throw us off Your course for our lives. Give us strength to love people that are seemingly unlovable without compromising our character as Christians. Build a confidence in us that is unstoppable and immovable but guard our hearts from pride. Deliver us from our distorted thoughts, sickness, debt, sadness, struggles, hunger, pain, fear, oppression, conflict, and unbelief, for we proclaim Your Peace over our lives through prayer, today. “Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” Ephesians 6:10 Help us to put on Your armor, daily, Father. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

DAY 7
SERIES: I AM REDEEMED
TOPIC: Redeemed Into Glorious Riches (1)
TEXT: Eph 1:7 NIV
7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, by the riches of God’s grace.

The bold declaration – I am rich, which is our focus for this year’s prayer and fasting, is not a psychological exercise, but a display and affirmation of our true position in Christ. He came and died to exchange our poverty for His riches (2 Cor 8:9). Remember, to be rich means to be wealthy, affluent, and opulent - having goods, property, and money in abundance. Hence as we explore this theme, may we understand and access the source of our resources as Christians. May we boldly emphasize and apply it to enable us to reposition ourselves for greater glory. In the acronym, RICH means Redeemed, Ingenious, Christlike, and Heavenly Bound.

Access to the riches of Christ began with His death on the cross for our redemption. Man had long been under captivity of the forces of sin (Ro 3:23, 7:14), corruption and death (Ro 8:21, 1 Cor 15:42, Gal 6:8) and Satanic powers (1 Jn 5:19). Man must be liberated from these forces. Unfortunately, he could not, because he had no energy, no power, no ability to free himself. God had redeemed Man through the blood of His Son- Jesus Christ. He paid it all (tetelestai) to free mankind from this dark dungeon of death. God redeems man because of the riches of His grace (read Ephesians 2:8-9). He loves man with an unbelievable love – a love so great that it spurs Him to do whatever is necessary to save man.

Friends it is factual that the forgiveness of man's sins is an unquantified blessing. It has placed man into the realm of glory, abundance riches of God, and enablement to live above and beyond reproaches of life. The key to a rich life starts with your soul, out of which flows whatever is being attested physically. This is exactly what Jesus did for mankind.
