Deut 8:18 18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. (KJV)
This Scripture was written to and for the Abrahamic Seed Group. When a Gentile accepts Christ as his/her Personal Savior, he/she is immediately grafted into this Abrahamic Seed Group.
Consequently, Gentile Christians are included in the great prosperity promise above. They are now Abraham’s Seed by grafting and are entitled to participate in this Abrahamic wealth promise.
Consider the reason given above why God gave us the power to get wealth. He did it in order to establish the Abrahamic Covenant with us also. The word translated “establish” here should have been translated by our English word “continue.”
This supernatural power to get wealth is God’s sign that we are now supernaturally included in the Covenant with Abraham. Furthermore, this power to get wealth is neither intelligence, ability nor talent.
It is the ability to plant financial seed and reap a financial harvest from it. This is how Abraham amassed wealth. He planted. Then he reaped. This is God’s universal Law of Wealth accumulation. We sow. We reap. This is the power to get the wealth in the above Scripture.
Look at the word “strength” in the Scripture below.
Acts 3:6-7 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength. (KJV)
The word “strength” above translates a Greek word that is a dead ringer for our English word “steroid.” In other words, when Peter commanded healing into this man, it was equivalent to a massive injection of Holy Ghost steroids.
He received strength. He leaped up. He shouted. He walked. He was whole and strong. This belongs to us today also.
Furthermore, this can also be administered the same way today that Peter administered it then. He spoke a command and it was so. The man received Holy Ghost Steroids and was healed. Christians today are also authorized to do this.
Finally, Peter declared that the healing of this man had nothing to do with his holiness or power. In other words, Peter let the World know that he, himself, had nothing to do with this healing. It was all of God, through the use of Jesus’ name.
Acts 3:11-13 11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering. 12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? 13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. (KJV)
In verse 11 above, when the people saw that the lame man was healed, they wondered greatly what had caused it.
In verse 12 above, Peter asked them why they were looking as him and John as though Their own power and holiness had anything to do with healing the man. His meaning Was that neither their power not holiness had anything to do with the man’s healing.
In verse 13 above, Peter attributed the healing to the God of the covenant with Abraham. This covenant, of course, included Abraham’s Seed Group, beginning with Isaac and Jacob. Christians today are still included in the Abrahamic Seed Group.
Our inclusion into this group is the reason Christians are still authorized to do the same thing today that Peter did and for the same reason. We are included, both in the Abrahamic Seed Group, and in the healing and prosperity aspect of it.
Finally, we see that Peter called upon no committees, held no prayer meetings, asked no man for permission. He just spoke the healing command using Jesus’ name and it was done. He was healed. Christians today are also authorized to do this.
