Day 1: Overcoming Poverty Mindsets
Reading: Isaiah 48:17-18
“Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: ‘I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. Oh, that you had paid attention to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.’”
Devotional:
God desires to teach us how to prosper in every area of our lives, including finances. Often, our limited thinking and poverty mindsets hold us back from experiencing the abundance God has for us. Today, reflect on areas where you may have a scarcity mentality. Ask God to renew your mind and help you see yourself as He sees you - blessed, prosperous, and capable through Christ. Remember, your life is the result of how you think. Choose to align your thoughts with God’s truth about who you are and what you’re capable of accomplishing with His help.
Day 2: The Power of God’s Word
Reading: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”
Devotional:
Our most powerful weapon against negative thinking and spiritual strongholds is the Word of God. When we fill our minds with Scripture and speak it over our lives, we tear down mental barriers that hold us back. Today, identify an area where you struggle with doubt or negative self-talk. Find a Bible verse that counters that thought pattern. Write it down and speak it out loud several times throughout the day. Let God’s truth reshape your thinking and empower you to walk in greater freedom and faith.
Day 3: Living as the Redeemed
Reading: Galatians 3:13-14
“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
Devotional:
Christ has redeemed us not only from sin, but from every curse - including poverty and lack. As God’s redeemed people, we’re called to live differently than the world around us. Our lives should reflect the abundance and blessing available in Christ. Today, consider how you can better represent Christ’s redemptive work in your daily life. Are there areas where you’re still living “under the curse” rather than in freedom? Ask God to help you fully embrace your identity as His redeemed child and walk in the blessings He’s made available.
Day 4: Fighting the Good Fight of Faith
Reading: 1 Timothy 6:12
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
Devotional:
The good fight of faith isn’t about battling external forces, but about aligning our thoughts and beliefs with God’s truth. It’s a daily choice to reject lies and embrace who God says we are. Today, reflect on an area where you’ve been struggling to believe God. Maybe it’s about His provision, your worth, or His plans for your future. Choose to “fight” by actively replacing doubts with declarations of faith based on Scripture. Speak out loud: “I believe God’s Word is true for me today. I choose faith over fear.”
Day 5: Partnering with God for Kingdom Impact
Reading: 2 Chronicles 20:20
“So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, ‘Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.’”
Devotional:
God calls us to partner with Him in advancing His kingdom. This partnership involves trusting Him with our resources - including finances - and believing He will use them for His glory. When we align our giving with God’s purposes, we position ourselves for blessing and impact beyond what we could achieve on our own. Today, prayerfully consider how you can be more intentional about partnering with God financially. Is there an area where He’s calling you to step out in faith with your giving? Trust that as you honor Him, He will establish you and cause you to prosper in ways that glorify His name.
These notes can be used to guide daily meditation and prayer as you listen to the sermon and reflect on its teachings throughout the week.
