The truth is God's children are not always immediately restored in abundance in finances or anything else, (except on the day the Holy Spirit come upon them). God is dealing with this issue, how the enemy is roaming around seeking whom he can devour by deceit. Convincing them into giving up their faith and diving deep into depression or worse "the Anti-Christian Spirit". There are times when we all spent time wallowing in and draining our efforts feeling as the “inadequate Child of God” because we are abundant in some area of life.
This is not biblical, we walk in a place that has been chosen and steps that have been ordered/ordained by God especially for each one of us. Everything abundant is ours and we shall have it, at the appointed time and according to God’s will and purpose.
The social pressures, the closet pressures (secret feelings we share with God) to be this or that. This is not God's leading it is of behavior deriving from the secular world's guidance to keep your eyes off Jesus and on the stereotype Christian. God knows where you are, when you are there, why you are there, and when you are coming out, TRUST GOD. Lean not unto your own understanding but in all things acknowledge God and his ways and he shall direct your path.
If you are a child of the King, you are always in abundance, maybe not always overflowing abundance manifested in material and/or spiritual but it is there constantly working to change you into the restored creation of the Father. Sometimes we are not always overflowing in finances, or always overflowing in love, or always overflowing in wisdom, or always overflowing in miracles, signs and wonders, or always overflowing in our Christian nature. But you get the point here right.
Christians walk in the valleys, on the mountain top, and every inch in-between. We are not to beat ourselves up or (allow the devil to do it for us) because we are not at one place or another. We are to be content in whatever state we are in whenever we are in it. Whether you are walking through in the fire, in the battle field, in the ever changing in restoration to God’s image. We are all in different places at different times according to his purpose, our obedience and willingness to change but are always to Be CONTENT IN WHATEVER STATE WE ARE IN. Remember we are just passing through, we are not staying, we move season to season, precept to precept, faith to faith.
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, a time to refrain;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace." (Ecclesiastes 3)
