In the beginning, God did not create heaven to be inferior to the earth until sin came and turned things upside down. It was in God’s original package that we should live heaven’s lifestyle on earth. But, due to the adverse effect of the fall, Jesus bankrupted Himself so that we could become rich through His poverty. Therefore, you have no reason to be living in poverty, regardless of recession (2 Corinthians 8: 9; 9: 8). There is no recession in heaven; so, there is no reason whatsoever for you as a son of God to be subjected to the whims and caprices of the world economy. So, this message teaches how we can operate and walk in the revelation of all what Christ has accomplished for us, based on the inheritance He bequeathed to us. It also teaches how to understand the mystery of God’s will, how to know the will of God and the purpose of His calling. If you don’t know all these, you will keep on acting like a stranger on earth. In like manner, the message also provides answer to the reason why many Christians are not walking in the fullness of what Christ has provided (Romans 16: 25-27, Ephesians 3: 1-12, Romans 10: 12, 13, Galatians 3: 7-9, 13-18, 26 29).
You must know that Christianity without operating in the revelation of all what Christ accomplished is nothing but religion. You must not settle for less but the best of what God has prepared for you, because you have an inheritance in Him. It is religion that teaches you that God made you poor. (Proverbs 10: 15, Matthews 26: 11). The rich and poor God made them both but He did not make them so (Proverbs 22: 2). There is difference between the “both” and “so”. The key to living heaven’s lifestyle on earth is you having clear knowledge of the mystery of Christ, where you begin to spend from the pocket of Jehovah.
