You are A Millionaire

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. Colossians 3:16

 

When I was a young adult I joined the Amway Business. We would go to meetings and the people there would get us to thinking and dreaming about what it would be like to be a Millionaire!

 

Needless to say we joined the business and proceeded to give the same dream sessions. Unfortunately it was not a get rich scheme; we had to work hard for the levels we achieved!

 

I loved to listen to people when they fantasized about paying off bills, purchasing a new house, cars, giving huge sums of money to people and organizations, and of course leaving their children and grandchildren the rest. Just think about it for a minute; what your supreme dream would be if you suddenly struck it rich!

 

If you can stretch beyond your most wildest dreams what could life be like? Well I want to tell you that you do not have to fantasize about being rich anymore! If you are a child of God, you have already struck it rich! You have been given a treasure that will make boundless wealth accessible to you for the rest of your life. You are a spiritual millionaire. However, for you to derive benefit from what God has provided, you have to learn how to tap into your Daddy God's treasure chest.

 

If we give the Word of God the right away in our lives and give it a warm reception and make it our own, it will enrich us spiritually. Therefore, the word of God can make us spiritual millionaires. The Word of God will come to us and those things the Father has for us will be drawn to us like a magnet.

 

If you open your heart and mind and let the Word penetrate deep within your soul, the world around you will swing open its doors and greet you with a grand reception. If you let the Word live in you in this manner it will produce much spiritual "fruit" in your life.

 

Colossians 3:6 tells us to allow the Word to dwell richly in wisdom; teaching and admonishing each other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with GRACE in our hearts to the Lord.

 

These words describe people who are so full of the Word of God their entire being is affected. Their hearts are full of joy; their minds are flooded with wisdom and understanding, and their mouths are singing songs to the Lord. They are giving testimony on how "Great Thou Art". They have struck it RICH!

 

When we consume the Word of God in this way, it is at home within us it and producing the wisdom, gifts, and the power, we need for today. You become so rich with God that you automatically find yourself admonishing an encouraging others in their faith. When the Word enriches you, doors of opportunity swing open for you to witness, to prosper, and to easily flow in the things God has for people around you.

 

So if your are tired of striving with no results—if you are tired of feeling spiritually bankrupt and worn out with nothing to offer—stop right where you are. Do not take another step without making the decision to let God's Word play a more important role in your life.

 

As you do, the Word of God will enrich you with His wisdom and insight. It will put victory in your heart and a new message on your tongue. It will turn you into a spiritual millionaire. It will enrich your life so much that you will always have something spiritually to donate, to bequeath or to freely share with someone else!
