Kenneth Copeland — End-Time Transfer of Wealth Scriptures

February 11th, 2011 No comments

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Here are some promises that you, as a child of God, can stand on regarding the transfer of wealth in these last days.

Job 27:13-17

KJV—This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty….Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

Amp—This [I am about to tell] is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage which oppressors shall receive from the Almighty…. Though he heaps up silver like dust, and piles up clothing like clay; He may prepare it, but the just will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver.

NIV—Here is the fate God allots to the wicked, the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty…. Though he heaps up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay, what he lays up the righteous will wear, and the innocent will divide his silver.

Psalm 37:7-11, 28-29

KJV—Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass….

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace….

For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

Amp—Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him, and patiently stay yourself upon Him;fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass….

For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait and hope and look for the Lord, [in the end] shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while and the evildoer will be no more; though you look with care where he used to be, he will not be found. But the meek [in the end] shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace….

For the Lord delights in justice and forsakes not His saints; they are preserved for ever, but the offspring of the wicked [in time] shall be cut off. [Then] the [consistently] righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell upon it for ever.

Moffatt—Leave it to the Eternal and be patient; fret not over the successful man, who aims to slay the upright, and carries out his wicked plan….

Evildoers shall indeed be rooted out, and the land left to those who wait for the Eternal. A little longer, and the godless will be gone; look in his haunts, and he is there no more! The land will be left to the humble, to enjoy plenteous prosperity…for the Eternal, who loves honesty, never forsakes his faithful band. The lawless shall be utterly destroyed…the land is the possession of the good, and all their days they shall dwell there.

The Honorable Life by Kenneth Copeland

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus
Christ, to them that have obtained like precious
faith with us through the righteousness of God
and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be
multiplied unto you through the knowledge of

God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine
power hath given unto us all things that pertain
unto life and godliness, through the knowledge
of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

whereby are given unto us exceeding great and
precious promises: that by these ye might be
partakers of the divine nature, having escaped
the corruption that is in the world through lust

The Bible teaches honor all the way through even
though the word honor isn’t always used, as in this
passage from 2 Peter, which speaks of God’s divine
nature and His precious promises.

What is honor? The world defines it in many ways,
but we will define honor as “a keen sense of ethical
conduct.” Honor is often used to refer to one’s word
being given as a guarantee. It is personal integrity.
Honor and honest are related. They are often used
to refer to those who fear the Lord.

We fear, or reverence, or highly honor God by living
life as He directs. God has promised that if we will do
that, if we will honor Him and act on His Word, He
will honor us (1 Samuel 2:30). A common problem
is that many of us have not believed His Word or
believed for the blessings promised in His Word.

For instance, we have not understood what Jesus
meant when He said for us to turn the other cheek
(Matthew 5:39). He was not talking about weakness;
He was talking about meekness.

Such scriptures are not referring to our being weak.
They are referring to our being submitted to God and
committed to doing what He says, whether it looks
good to us or not. That is doing the honorable thing.
We must learn to put aside our own feelings
and human reasonings and just be obedient to the
Lord. Jesus was telling us if we will turn the other
cheek in meekness and in the power of the honor
of God, we cannot be hit again.

Even though a person turns his other cheek, if
he stands on the Word and in the Word, the devil
will have a hard time getting through to hit him
the second time. In order to do this, however, an
individual has to know in whom he has believed.
He has to have faith and trust in the honor of God
and in His divine integrity.

If you and I know how to walk in honor before
God, we don’t have to be afraid of anyone. We don’t
have to fear what men can do to us. The Lord has
promised that if we will honor Him and be obedient
to His Word, He will honor us and protect us
from all our enemies.
