It's nearly impossible to convince a person living in poverty that they already have wealth stored in their belly. In the natural, all they see is lack. They have allowed the enemy to arrest their overflow, because they refuse to utilize God's resources. The best way to tap into your inheritance is to ask God to renew your mind.
How do you renew your mind?
Face it. (Don't ignore your feelings. They won't disappear. Intentionally, cast down "stinking thinking").
Faith it. (Belief for God's best to manifest).
Romans 12:2 is not overrated. It says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Recently, I stumbled across 2 Corinthians 9:10-11, "Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God."
This scripture sent conviction and grieved my spirit. Here, I was sitting in the middle of an overflow nursing selfishness and complaining about lack. God faithfully supplied all my needs. He gives seeds to sowers and bread to eaters. God gives extra to the sowers to bless others but supplies the basic to the eaters.
Which one are you? A sower or an eater!
"The seed will grow well, the vine will yield it's fruit, the ground will produce its crops, and the heavens will drop their dew. I will give all these things as an inheritance to the remnant of this people." Zechariah 8:12
