To raise governors
of wealth in the nations is to raise men and women who fear God and will deploy
their God given wealth for the healing of the nations by redistributing whatever
abundance God blesses them with because abundance should always be
redistributed. The case of the four lepers who suddenly realized that what they
were doing by feeding fat alone on the loot from the Syrian army was not right
is a good example of redistributing abundance. Please read 2nd Kings
Chapter 7, note verses 8 to 10. The four lepers had eaten to their full, had
taken enough silver and gold as well as clothing for themselves and then it occurred
to them that several people were hungry and had no food to eat. Quickly, they
ran back to Samaria to proclaim the good news of abundance so that everyone
could partake in the abundance.
For years,
Bishop David Oyedepo taught on abundance and prosperity, reaching out to
millions of people on the power of God to make people; irrespective of their
backgrounds, academic, economic, social; to prosper. It is also significant to
note that at the time God blessed and empowered him with this great revelation
with which millions of people were transformed from dirt poor poverty to
abounding wealth, Bishop Oyedepo himself was not financially wealthy. But he
was already spiritually, mentally and physically wealthy; and was only
patiently awaiting the physical manifestation of his divinely given stupendous wealth.
Beloved, great wealth resides in you. Ask God for the wisdom to unlock the wealth.
It’s in there, in you, latent but impatiently or patiently waiting for
activation, significantly by you.
The four lepers unlocked
the latent wealth in them by taking a quality decision to walk away from
famine, hunger, lack and imminent death from hunger. The moment they took the decision,
heaven backed them first in response to the prophetic word of prophet Elisha that there would be
abundance of economic, food and material resources in Samaria and their own
decision to walk away from lack, to say an eternal goodbye to lack and hunger. It
is not a surprise that they became the first partakers of the abundance. They were
the first to see the abundance because they were the first set of people who
took a decision to walk away from the famine and lack ravaging the city of
Samaria. Their decision alongside its implementation took them to overflowing
abundance. They ate to their fill, collected enough silver and gold as well as
clothing to their fill before announcing the abundance to other people who also
came to partake of the abundance.
