21 Reasons Why No Believer or Pastor Should Be Poor or Remain Poor: Behind Everything Outstanding Is Understanding

By Michael Hutton-Wood

You were not born again to live an average life or a life of mediocrity or to suffer again but to reign again. You were not born to make a living but to make a difference. You were not born again to live from pay- cheque to pay-Cheque or to maintain the status quo but to walk in financial dominion, dominating in every field. (Genesis 1:26-28) You belong to the most prosperous family on earth. Redemption forbids and exempts you from being a beggar. A needy mentality will keep you in poverty; you can’t think poverty and taste prosperity. You won’t stop thinking poverty until you’ve caught the light from God’s word. It is poverty mentality that makes one poor. The cheapest way to be anointed for poverty is to think poor. Lack is not synonymous with black. You are not in need because you are black, you are in need because you are blind. What you can’t see, you can’t touch. You must come to a place where you say with conviction ‘I can never be poor.’ It comes by what you know and practice. (John 8:32) Prosperity does not answer to prayer; it answers to covenant practice. Prosperity is not a promise, so, you can‘t claim it. It is a covenant leaving you with a huge responsibility to be diligent and engage in covenant practice to see the required results. There is always what to do to walk in or experience prosperity as stated categorically in Joshua 1:8.
POVERTY GIVES YOU NO OPTIONS BUT PROSPERITY DOES.

If we are going to change the world, we need to have resources; we need to have options. One definition of poverty that instructs me is that ‘poverty is the absence or lack of options.’ We cannot make waves and make major moves if we do not have options. Prosperity, abundance, increase, wealth in material and financial terms provides a major avenue for option-creation. These teachings in this book are dedicated to the realization, maximization and actualization of the abundance that exists within our internal and external universes.

THERE IS NO SHORTAGE ANYWHERE; THE SHORTAGE IS BETWEEN OUR EARS. We live in an abundant and benevolent universe. This Book Contains:
* How to break out from a state of poverty into prosperity
* Reasons Why No Believer Should Be Poor
* Overcoming Financial Adversity
* The Cure For Hard Times or POVERTY
* The Grace to Create, Manifest, and Distribute Wealth
* Understanding Your Financial Heritage
* The Place of Skill and Talents in Creating Wealth

Introduction

My assignment in life is to set in order the things that are out of order, (Titus 1:5) fill the earth with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea, (Habakkuk 2:14) Eradicate ignorance, (John 8:32; Isaiah 60:1) eliminate poverty, (John 10:10; 3 John 2) and raise generational leaders in every city to impact nations (Isaiah 55:4-5).

You were not born again to live an average life or a life of mediocrity.

You were not born again to suffer again but to reign again.

You were not born to make a living but to make a difference.

You were not born again to live from pay-cheque to pay-Cheque.

You were not born again to maintain the status quo but to leave a mark that cannot be erased.

You were born again to walk in financial dominion, dominating in every field. (Genesis 1:26-28)

You were born again to live in the raw evidence, be the raw exhibition and manifestation of the following scriptures:

2 Corinthians 9:8

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work

Matthew 5:13-16

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Psalms 112:1-3

Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

POVERTY GIVES YOU NO OPTIONS BUT PROSPERITY DOES

If we are going to change the world, we need to have resources; we need to have options. One definition of poverty which instructs me is that ‘poverty is the absence or lack of options.’ We cannot make waves and make major moves if we do not have options. Prosperity, abundance, increase, wealth in material and financial terms provides a major avenue for option-creation. These teachings in this book are dedicated to the realization, maximization and actualization of the abundance that exists within our internal and external universes.

1 Timothy 6:17

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

DID YOU READ THAT? …HATH GIVEN US FREELY ALL THINGS TO ENJOY …

THE ESSENCE AND PURPOSE FOR RICHES:

1 Timothy 6:17-19

‘Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.’

Romans 8:32-35 (NIV)

‘He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?’

THERE IS NO SHORTAGE ANYWHERE; THE SHORTAGE IS BETWEEN OUR EARS. We live in an abundant and benevolent universe. Abundance is our heritage. Prosperity is our destiny. It is our right to be able to answer the questions that money can answer and the covenant of work, tithing and offerings is what it takes to actualize your prosperity heritage. There is a positioning that delivers your portion; there is nothing mystical or magical or diabolical about prosperity; prosperity answers to practical covenant principles.

Ephesians 3:20

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Philippians 4:19

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 4:28

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Contrary to what some believe, the truth is: Not all winners sweat to win; sweating is a curse.

World-shakers carry a unique lifestyle of SWEATLESSNESS AND BEING STRUGGLE-FREE IN ATTAINING HIGHER HEIGHTS by maintaining an unusual schedule.

You belong to the most prosperous family on earth. Redemption forbids you from being a beggar; it exempts you from being a beggar. A needy mentality will keep you in poverty; you can’t think poverty and taste prosperity. You won’t stop thinking poverty until you’ve caught the light from God’s word. (Isaiah 60:1). This is the only cure for the thoughts of poverty. It is poverty mentality that makes poor. The cheapest way to be anointed for poverty is to think poor. Lack is not synonymous with black. You are not in need because you are black; you are in need because you are blind. What you can’t see, you can’t touch. You must come to a place where
