True Prosperity Begins With Knowing Whose You Are
For years, I believed God loved me.
But if I'm honest, I often lived as though I had to earn His approval.
I worked hard, tried to do the right things, and wanted to please God, yet underneath it all was a subtle belief that I wasn't quite enough.
Looking back, I can see that some of those feelings started early.
I remember going back-to-school shopping with my family each year. I was grateful for the two new outfits I received, but when I got to school, some of my friends had a new outfit for every day of the first two weeks.
As a child, I didn't understand finances or family budgets. I simply drew a conclusion: maybe they were somehow more valuable than I was.
Of course, that wasn't true. My parents loved me deeply. But the lie planted a seed.
Moving From Performance to Acceptance
Many of us carry similar beliefs into adulthood.
- Not enough.
- Less than.
- Overlooked.
- Unworthy.
And if we're not careful, we carry those same beliefs into our relationship with God.
The truth is that Jesus didn't come so we could spend our lives trying to prove ourselves worthy.
He came because we never could.
Through His life, death, and resurrection, He made a way for us to be fully accepted, fully loved, and fully welcomed into the family of God.
Our worth isn't found in what we've accomplished.
It's found in what Christ accomplished.
That's why identity matters so much.
When we don't know who we are in Christ, we live from performance. We strive. We compare. We worry about whether we're enough.
But when we begin to understand our identity as sons and daughters of God, everything starts to change.
- We stop working for acceptance and begin living from acceptance.
- We stop chasing worth and begin walking in the worth Jesus already secured for us.
- We stop viewing God as someone who must be pleased and begin seeing Him as a loving Father who delights in His children.
A Lesson From Wealth With God
This has been one of the most powerful lessons I've learned through Wealth With God.
At its core, the program isn't just about finances
It's about understanding that our identity is rooted in Him, not in our performance, our income, our achievements, or our circumstances.
A strong foundation of identity prepares us to steward well whatever God places in our hands.
Whether it's influence, opportunities, resources, or finances, we handle them differently when we know who we are.
We stop striving and start trusting.
We stop living from scarcity and begin living from God's abundance.
I'm still learning this myself.
I'm still uncovering old beliefs that don't align with God's truth.
But I've come to realize that true prosperity begins long before money enters the picture.
It begins with knowing whose you are.
Because when your identity is secure in Christ, trust grows.
And when trust grows, you're able to walk more confidently into the life God has prepared for you.
