Jesus Became Poor So You Could Be Rich
I realize that many have been taught—often through religion—that to be rich is somehow unholy or incompatible with devotion to God. Yet this mindset does not come from Jesus; it comes from misunderstanding His mission. If the Last Days harvest is to be reached, it will not be funded by human effort or religious limitation, but by God’s original design for provision flowing through surrendered, purpose-driven lives. The Church must experience a paradigm shift—from suspicion of provision to stewardship of it—so that the work of God in the Last Days is resourced by Heaven’s plan, not restrained by man’s traditions.
Throughout the New Testament, God repeatedly used people of means to fund and advance the mission of Jesus, revealing that provision has always been part of Heaven’s strategy. From the very beginning, the wise men brought gold, frankincense, and myrrh—resources that not only honored Jesus but very likely funded His family’s survival and protection during their flight to Egypt. During Jesus’ ministry, Scripture records that wealthy women such as Joanna, Susanna, and others supported Him and the disciples “out of their own means” (Luke 8:1–3), ensuring the gospel could be preached freely without compromise. At the end of Jesus’ earthly life, it was Joseph of Arimathea, a rich and influential man, who used his wealth and position to boldly secure Jesus’ body and place it in his own unused tomb—fulfilling prophecy and honoring the Son of God. These examples make one truth unmistakably clear: God has always called and used people with resources to underwrite redemptive moments. Wealth in the hands of the righteous has never been an obstacle to the gospel—it has been a divine instrument to advance it.
Biblical wealth is not about indulgence; it is about assignment. Jesus removed poverty’s authority so Kingdom provision could flow freely through God’s people. Being poor was never God’s plan for Adam, nor for any generation that would come after him. Poverty entered through the fall, and Jesus addressed it through redemption. Satan’s strategy has always been to steal, kill, and destroy—but God’s plan has always been life, abundance, and restoration.

In the last days, this truth becomes even more critical. God is positioning His people to carry Kingdom supply for Kingdom purpose. The final harvest will require supernatural provision, and that provision must flow through redeemed people who understand both the command and the calling attached to wealth. You were created for Kingdom supply, not survival. Open your heart to God’s plan and purpose for the Last Days Great Awakening. What Jesus redeemed, you are commanded to receive. What He paid for, you are called to steward.
Today, allow this revelation to transform how you see provision. Wealth is not a reward for holiness—it is a resource for obedience. Jesus paid the price not merely to forgive you, but to restore Heaven’s flow through your life. Rise up and take your place. Let God’s abundance move through you to fund His purposes on the earth and fulfill the destiny He has entrusted to you.
Declaration
I declare that Jesus has redeemed me from poverty and lack. Because He became poor for my sake, I am commanded to receive Kingdom provision and called to steward it for God’s purposes. I reject survival thinking and receive Kingdom supply. I am a vessel through which Heaven’s resources flow for the Last Days Great Awakening.
Prayer
Father, I thank You for the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ who willingly became poor so that I could walk in Kingdom provision. I receive what He redeemed and accept the calling to steward it faithfully. Purify my motives, align my heart, and make me a trustworthy vessel for Kingdom resources. Use my life to fund Your purposes and advance Your harvest in these last days. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Application
1. Read 2 Corinthians 8:9 slowly and reflect on the exchange Jesus made on your behalf.
2. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any belief you hold that contradicts redemption and provision.
3. Write down areas where you have lived in survival rather than Kingdom supply.
4. Pray for wisdom to steward what God places in your hands with faith and obedience.
5. Prayerfully consider how Kingdom resources are meant to flow through your life to advance God’s purposes in this generation—through your local church and Kingdom works such as Ignite Evangelism, Child Evangelism Fellowship, and other ministries committed to the Great Harvest.
