What’s Included in the Covenant:

Overabundance and Increase
Pastor Ben Diaz

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.” — 2 Corinthians 8:9

This Sunday, Pastor Ben concluded the series on what is included in our covenant, what Jesus paid for and now freely offers us by His grace.

At the center is a powerful truth: the great exchange includes provision. Jesus became poor so that we could step into the fullness of life God intended, not just spiritually, but in every area.

Through Scripture, we were reminded that God’s nature is not lack, but abundance, fruitfulness, and increase. Yet many believers have unknowingly embraced the idea that poverty is holy. The Bible is clear, money is not the problem, the love of money is (1 Timothy 6:10).

Pastor pointed us back to God’s original design in the Garden of Eden, a place of delight, beauty, and provision. A river flowed through it, carrying resources meant to be discovered. The names of the rivers reveal God’s heart: increase, overflow, swift movement, and fruitfulness (Genesis 2).

Where God is, there is flow. And that flow is meant to move through us, not stop with us.

We also saw that Jesus’ poverty was not His lifestyle, but His sacrifice at the cross. His life demonstrated provision, but His death secured it for us. Through Him, we are invited into a life that reflects heaven’s reality.

God’s desire, as seen in 3 John 2, is that we would prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers. As we remain rooted in His presence, He not only provides, He gives us wisdom, ideas, and direction to walk in it.

The call is simple: renew our minds and align with God’s value system. As we do, we position ourselves to live in His abundance, not for self, but to advance His Kingdom.

Because what God provides is not meant to be hoarded, it’s meant to flow.
