Reverend Ike's affirmation "I AM money" was confusing me for many months, until I realized that our financial status and abilities are proportional to our consciousness.
"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." Proverbs 23:7
That means we must see ourselves as we wish to be, for we must be as we see ourselves. The money hardly ever falls into someone's hands from the sky. Usually, it is the mind that attracted it, however, many people have minds that repel all blessings of life 'cause they've grown up believing the success, prosperity (including money) are evil and "Satanic". I assure you, there is nothing noble about poverty, in fact, Christ cursed the unfruitful fig tree, which is a great metaphor for a person that has God-given talents and ability, yet, refuses to transmute them into success.
When Peter and his crew were unable to catch any fish, Jesus appeared on the shore, and said: "Cast your net on the other side". They did, and caught so many fish, that the boat was unable to carry all of them back! When everyone took their share, there were 13 full baskets of fish left as surplus. That's another allegory that God wants us to prosper and be abundant.
We are the source, but we must become aware of that, otherwise, our blessings will keep getting repelled away from us. "What difference does it make?" is a common and logical question. It makes all the difference, 'cause once we discover who we are and what was given to us, becoming abundant in all aspects of life becomes as easy as breathing.
There is God in you! He is the real source of your finances! Not the job, or the boss!
In this lesson, Reverend Ike mentioned "losing on a material level to have a greater experience", which I described in detail by sharing my story: https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@emstone/it-is-a-small-world
Do not despair, get frightened or discouraged if you experience a drastic, seemingly heartbreaking change in your life right after becoming aware of your true self! It's a part of the process you must wholeheartedly embrace and trust.
May all of your cups start running over! God bless you!
