"Rich people have something in their DNA that my family lacks."
How it sounds in your head: Some people are just born with the wealth gene - the drive, the connections, the intelligence. My family doesn't have it. We're wired for poverty.
"But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are."
-- 1 Corinthians 1:27-28World: Creates false biological determinism that denies the supernatural nature of covenant blessing.
Observing successful people who seem naturally gifted at wealth-building while his family has consistently struggled creates the illusion of genetic advantage. The differences seem hardwired.
Gideon called himself the least in his family, from the weakest clan in his tribe - triple disadvantage. God made him mighty warrior and delivered an entire nation through the most unlikely candidate with the worst natural qualifications.
I REFUSE the lie that wealth requires superior genetics. IT IS WRITTEN that God chose the weak and foolish to shame the mighty - He doesn't need good DNA, He needs willing vessels. Gideon was least of the least and God made him mighty. I am not limited by my family's natural capabilities. IT IS WRITTEN that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. The BLESSING of Abraham isn't passed through genetics but through COVENANT. I have the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead living in me - that's infinitely more powerful than any 'wealth gene.'
Your Father delights in taking the 'nothings' and making them somethings - not to prove your worth but to display His glory. He didn't choose you because of your DNA; He chose you to showcase what His DNA in you can do.
