“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree; That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” (Gal. 3:13-14).
The Bible says that God will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19). Well, why are so many Christians living in lack? If God wants His children to prosper, why are so many of them living in poverty?
God requires three things from us so that He can meet any need you will ever have. The three things God requires are:
1) Faith
2) Obedience
3) Seed
Once you have faithfully done your part in obeying God, and believing Him and sowing your seed, then your days of reaping are sure to come.
First and foremost, we should live a life of obedience to God. We please God when we obey Him. We should obey Him just because He is God and He is our father. The Bible lists not just financial blessings that are available to us when we are obedient to God Almighty.
Galatians 3:13-14 and 29 says we are redeemed from the curse of the Law and we are made heirs according to the promise.
So we are heirs to all the promises God made to Abraham, according to the Word. By our obedience we inherit redemption from poverty, sickness, and spiritual death. If you want to have miracles happen in your life, and if you want God to be able to use you to the fullest extent, then you’re going to have to learn to be obedient. Jesus the Anointed One is the greatest possible example of obedience.
Hebrews 5:5-9 tells us that Jesus was not granted His current position simply because He came into the world as the Son of God. Philippians chapter two tells us that He became obedient unto death and that is why “…God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name….”
In other words, Jesus was given His high position because He was obedient. Jesus wrapped Himself in human flesh and put aside all of His divine privileges. Everything He did while He was on earth and everything He received from the Father was a result of His obedience. And He said that those who would obey God would be blessed too.
If you need a miracle today, it is going to cost you something: obedience.
