In no way is the Apostle John declaring that poverty and lack is God's will for His people. Nor is he communicating that God is against us being wealthy, successful and prosperous. What the Apostle John is revealing is the spirit of idolatry. He is warning us to steer clear of idolatry and its ability to consume us with the desires to have more at any costs. Idolatry is carnality, secularism, worldliness, idol worship or the proclivity to exalt the flesh or creation above the existence of God. God wants us to be prosperous and to be successful (Joshua 1:8), but He does not want us to crave these things to the point of harming ourselves or others or defrauding or deceiving others and abandoning our relationship with God to get these things. When we do violate these boundaries it becomes idolatry.

Jesus I renounce the spirit of idolatry over our lives, households, families, friendships, churches, communities, schools, workplaces, governments, the media, the arts, the music genre, and the medical and science industries. I renounce the spirit of of the anti-Christ. Help us not to love the world neither the things in the world. I renounce the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. Thank you for Kingdom economics and global and social wealth building, management and stewardship. I renounce the spirits of famine, poverty, lack and inferiority. I decree and declare that we are the head and not the tail, the lender and not broke or the borrower. We are ABOVE ONLY. Help us to worship and to serve You with our whole hearts. Help us not to place ourselves, other people or things above You. Give us the mind of Christ that rejects the practices of idolatry. Cleanse us from the spirit of idolatry. Lord, help us to daily put on the full armor of God, withstanding every tactic and onslaught of the kingdom of darkness. Help us to live by faith, through our spirit, as the Holy Spirit guides us. I renounce the spirit of jealousy and idol worship in Your church. Let not idol worship be named among us who love You. Help us to teach our children and others to worship and to serve You, as we ourselves serve You first. Help us to daily pull down every debase and high thought or thing that exalts itself above the intellect of God. Thank You for a personal relationship with God by grace through faith in Jesus, in Jesus name. Amen.
