I want to begin this message by reminding you of what God says in Revelation 2: 9 that you are rich: "I know your works, your tribulation and your poverty, but you are rich ...".
If God says that you are rich, it is because you are. It is enough that you have accepted Christ, so that you are heir of the eternal sky, of the city that shines with streets of gold, where we will live for eternity. Do not let the adversary deceive you, confuse you and make fun of you by tormenting you with their lies. Shout to the devil that you are rich, because God is your Father, the owner and creator of the entire universe and what is in it.
God created man, to rule over all creation. God put man in the garden of Eden, as steward; but the devil deceived him and made him covet science. In the end he realized that he had lost everything. He was expelled from Eden and this poor humanity walked like a sheep without a shepherd, until Christ came. The Bible says that being rich, he became poor to enrich many. Those many are you and I, and millions of millions in the whole world, we have taken refuge under the shadow of the highest, in the arms of the Lord Jesus Christ, by faith, washing our sins in his blood.
I sincerely admit that there are many Christians who live as ungodly, complaining about the situation and murmuring about the high cost of living and blaming their rulers for everything. They ignore that the Bible says that this world will go from bad to worse and that believers will go from Glory to Glory, until we see God in Zion. You are rich, very rich, much richer than you imagine.
Those who are only foolish people who waste their time and their patience always telling what they lack, in such a way that they live desperate to reach it ... And when will they reach it?
What we lack is like the horizon that always escapes us at the same speed with which we try to reach it. That's why Paul said that "things that are seen are temporary, but things that are not seen are eternal."
How much are your eyes worth? Would you sell an eye of yours for a million dollars? How much would you ask for your two eyes? Surely those little eyes that God has given you, have no price for you, and you would never sell them for all the gold in the world.
How much would you ask for your ears? Would you like to be deaf if you were offered a million dollars for each ear? Surely you would not sell them. How much are your arms worth? Your feet? Would you be willing to sell your heart for one hundred billion dollars and put on an artificial one to continue living? I do not know ... You're not stupid; You are worth much more than all the big skyscrapers in New York.
You were bought at the price of blood. Christ died for your sins, to free your precious soul, from that terrible hell; For all these things: You are rich. Rejoice and rejoice in the Lord, because being rich became poor, to enrich many; and among those many are you and me. Do not forget. Hallelujah, and let's give thanks to the Lord, for being "so rich".
