The Bible says, “For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” (Romans. 5:17 KJV).
God wants every Christian to walk in abundance. Abundance is God’s plan and will for your life. You have to embrace abundance. Not only should you think abundance but walk in abundance. Let your actions and ways show that ‘this is a man who believes in abundance.’
One of the golden rules of wealth and prosperity is to believe in abundance. Not only to believe but to embrace abundance. A lot of people live their lives with the idea that abundance is not good. That you can not serve God and live in abundance. Yet the scriptures say with good things will I satisfy you always.
With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. Proverbs 8:18. Here we see that it is possible to be rich and righteous at the same time. It is possible to have wealth and success and yet still be righteous. Never ever accept a low life. Never allow your thoughts to bring you down. Replace little thoughts with thoughts of abundance.
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. If you think that you merit little things, you will get only little things. If you think that you merit big things then you will get big things. It is more profitable to think bigger thoughts than to think small thoughts. It is more profitable to think of thoughts of abundance than thoughts of lack.
One of the ways to show that you have embraced abundance is to receive things or gifts when someone gives you. When someone gives you a gift, don’t refuse it. But accept it with an open mind. When you refuse to take gifts from others you are just telling God you are not ready for abundance.
No matter how small the gift is always take it with a smile on your face. At times people will test you with small things to see if you are grateful. If they see a sincere person and a warm person receiving their gift, believe me, they will do more for you. Don’t reject a gift because it’s small. Small things eventually become bigger things sooner or later.
The second most important way to know if a man has embraced abundance is when he himself becomes a giver. Some people are just good at collecting from people. They never give to others. When you ask them why are they not charitable? they will tell you they don’t have enough. If you can’t bless people with the little you presently have, you won’t be able to do more even when you will have it in abundance.
Learn to be charitable. Let people feel your love. You may not have enough today but that should not stop you from doing what is good. When you start doing the smaller things, only then will you open the door for bigger things.
