Casino or Covenant— What's Your Ticket Out?

I remember having an eye-opening conversation one time with a nice, young Christian man about his hopes for the future. This is what he had to say:

"I know there's more for me in life... and I like nice things. But every now and then, when I don't have enough money, I go to the casino. Sure, I lose sometimes. But I take a chance."

Now, there's a believer who knows little-to-nothing about his covenant.

When he told me this, he looked at me because he knew that I knew — I knew my covenant. He had never seen me at any of those casinos, and yet he knew I had the goods... I had all the nice things flowing through my life

and ministry. He also knew that I knew some things he didn't know.

What about you? Are you betting on the casino or are you trusting in your covenant to get you out of financial debt and over into abundance?

The owners of those casinos certainly are not richer than God. Sadly, however, whole generations of believers are being raised up to think—and live—just the opposite. Children of God are walking out the church doors and into the world without any hope for a happy and prosperous future.

There are only two types of people in this world-the lender and the borrower. We call them the haves and the have nots.

From Have-Nots to Haves

It hasn't been all that long ago that the Lord said something that really made me mad.

The world has been ruling the church by wealth, He told me. Sinners have been ruling over Christians by their wealth, and the Church has not taken her rightful place of reigning and ruling.

Certainly, it's no secret that this problem of God's people not ruling and reigning in the earth as they should have has been around a long time. It started back in the Garden of Eden the moment Adam sinned. Adam was God's man, but through his disobedience, in effect, he handed everything -over to the devil—and it's been a nagging problem ever since.

Still, I got angry when the Lord brought all that up, but then He took me to about six passages of scripture, the first of which was Proverbs 22:7...

"The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."

Now, let me give you a real deep revelation about this scripture. There are only two types of people in this world —the lender and the borrower. We call them the haves and the have nots. The haves rule because they have all the money. The have nots are servants because they don't have any money. In the world system whoever has the money, rules. It's that simple.

In our case, the reason the world has been ruling over the Church all these years is because the world has had all the money, and the Church has had nothing. That's because, over the years, the devil has done a good job of talking us into being real spiritual over our lack—"Yes, we're just poor, humble servants of God.
