Think Differently

The economic situation in the world today may have left many

hopeless and terrified, but as a Christian, you must think differently, because

you’re not of this world. You’re from another plane, a higher realm, where you

live above the elements and rudiments of this world. Colossians 2:20 lets us

know that you’re dead with Christ to the rudiments of the world. The world’s economic

systems can’t work against you.

Understand that everything in this world is an instrument

for your use. They shouldn’t rule over you; the economy shouldn’t dominate you,

or dictate the circumstances of your existence. You’re greater than inflation

and the economy. You’re bigger than this world! 1 John 5:4 says, “For

whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that

overcometh the world, even our faith.” The world is yours and everything in it;

therefore, think and function differently. Live from the mountain-top.

Job 22:29 says, “When men are cast down, then thou shalt

say, There is lifting up...” And in Jeremiah 17:7-8, the Spirit says, “Blessed

is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall

be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the

river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and

shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding

fruit.” This is the reality about you, because you’re the seed of Abraham. Your

success, progress, and prosperity are guaranteed, even in austere times.

Hallelujah!

Economic problems aren’t new; they happened in Bible days.
