Made Rich Through Christ | Ps Mensa Otabil at TREM Kingdom Life World Conference 2024

What does the Bible really say about wealth, prosperity, and hard work? In this deeply biblical and Christ-centered teaching, Pastor Mensa Otabil delivers a powerful message titled “Made Rich Through Christ” at the Kingdom Life World Conference 2024, hosted by Bishop Mike Okonkwo at The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM) International Headquarters, Lagos, Nigeria. Rooted in 2 Corinthians 8:9, this teaching explains how Jesus Christ—rich in glory—became poor by choice, so believers can access abundant life through faith, diligence, and redemption. Ps Mensa Otabil corrects common misconceptions about the prosperity message and presents a balanced, theologically sound understanding of wealth anchored in Christ’s finished work. This message addresses: • Why Jesus’ poverty was substitutionary and sacrificial • Why hard work is redemption, not a curse • How Christ frees believers from poverty mindsets and false doctrines • Why no ancestral or generational curse is greater than Christ’s sacrifice • How faith + labour unlock material prosperity God’s way 📍 Recorded – November 2024 📌 Venue: TREM International Headquarters, Lagos – Nigeria 🎤 Host: Bishop Mike Okonkwo 🎙 Minister: Pastor Mensa Otabil #MensaOtabil #MadeRichThroughChrist #KingdomLifeConference2024 #TREMChurch #BiblicalProsperity #AbundantLife #ChristianTeaching #FaithAndWork #JesusChrist #ChristianLeadership #yawfrimpongtenkorang #icgc ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Why Everything in Christianity Must Be Centered on Christ 01:50 – Prophets, Apostles & the True Foundation of the Church 06:30 – The Shocking Truth About the Old & New Testaments 13:54 – What “Made Rich Through Christ” Really Means 16:55 – Was Jesus Actually Rich?
