1.0 INTRODUCTION

Welcome Speech from the Zonal Pastors Lagos Zone 5 and ministration from the beautiful choir in Praise. Pastor Chris enters the auditorium the whole arena is full of excitement. Pastor holds the microphone ;"Sing that song: title (Thank u father)" and leads the congregation in worship. Second song: Sweet Jesus Greet five 5 people and welcome them, tell them you are so glad that you are here. Say its my year of favor and my month of Progress.
1.2 TESTIMONY
May I see those who were hear last year please stand up and those who have testimonies wave your hand. I am taking testimonies so make sure its a real testimony because the whole world would be watching you. Sister Angelina CEC Zone 5 Financial convention has change my financial status, I received money in my account which I didn't know where it came from. I phoned the person who deposited it that it was a mistake but insisted that I should have the money. The cash I sawed it as a seed because I knew where I was coming from. Today people can give testimonies of where I am coming from. Pastor Chris comments; "wow what an inspiring testimony please take your seat"
2.0 THE SUBJECT OF FAITH

Abraham and Us Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. This means He is a faith God, let's go to Hebrews 11v1 Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is the evidence of the unseen being certain of what u hope for and calling real what u are yet to see. To God there is nothing that is too late, even the dead he quickeneth, the God whom we serve gives life to the dead. Amen An example was Abraham and it matters what kind of God you believe.
2.1 It is a Personal responsibility.

It will depend on me and everyone will be wondering why things are bad and not changing. Even if I say God doesn't exist, he is not offended because he is too big for that. If I want to take advantage of his blessings he is ready
There are Professors with three PhDs but are broke and poor. They went to the best school and they will say, Education doesn't work, but others who have done the same thing and prospered will disagree and say school helps. The same thing some were here last year for the conference but never experienced an financial miracle. The fact that your car is broken and other cars are moving doesn't make manufacturers thieves, it might be that you are not taking proper care of it.
3.0 WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY CHRISTIANITY?

The Question is what did I do with what I learned, with my Christianity? Even when Jesus went to his home town to perform miracles and nothing happened Mar 6:1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. Mar 6:2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Mar 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Mar 6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Mar 6:5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. Mighty works means the blind seeing, lamb walk, deaf hear. Teaching is the cure of unbelief that's what you do when you want to help those who don't believe. Believe with expectancy! Jesus didn't have 100% results; he had them only on those who had faith. Some were healed by just touching him because God put his power in him
4.0 CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD

1. He quickeneth the dead 2. Calls things which were not as though they were.

He believed that he might become and stayed on the word of God cause God never fails. Abraham knew that he was to be held responsible for not letting the promise come to pass. When prophesy is spoken you have a responsibility to make it come to pass. Anything is possible is the higher way, it doesn't matter who is against it Rom 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
Rom 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; An unbelief person staggers, strong faith gives glory to God Rom 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Until you are fully persuaded you can't have strong Faith. Weak faith considers circumstances. Strong faith gives glory to God. Nothing is impossible, because anything is possible. When you have faith in God challenges come and you might begin to question but the Spirit of God will tell you to be quiet, when unbelief strikes turn your face to the wall and speak in tongues and don't let unbelief come from your mouth. Remember the walls of Jericho how they fall. God is a miracle God
6.0 DEALING WITH EXISTING CHALLENGES.

What do you say to the things which are already there? 1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1Co 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: for example when we were still 200 I told the church that we will distribute bibles around the world and we are doing it today. Its because I was fully persuaded. in Verse28 comes from the Greek word which means things which are inexistent You can bring things which exists that we don't like to nothing Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Aions means worlds Things came into existence through the spoken word of God. #rhema Eph 5:1 THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]. Eph 5:2 And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. [Ezek. 20:41.] Eph 5:3 But immorality (sexual vice) and all impurity [of lustful, rich, wasteful living] or greediness must not even be named among you, as is fitting and proper among saints (God's consecrated people). Eph 5:4 Let there be no filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish and sinful (silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness [to God]. AMP. Imitators meaning copiers, copy God. God wants us to copy him. How did God frame the world? It was through faith hence we can do the same thing with our worlds. Praise the Lord
7.0 THE MIND OF CHRIST.

What mind did Christ have? When the storm come the mind of Christ was we are going to the other side nothing to stop him. The same mind should be in me, the faith mind. He had no sense of lack. No consciousness of need. We don't fail, when you are a baby you say I can't fail but grown-ups say I don't fail because its not in our nature. As we prophesy, we put things in place. Speak to the situation, don't let things just happen! You have the mind of a victor, of oneness with Christ - the faith mind. Zec 1:17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. Zec 1:18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw , and behold four horns. Zec 1:19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. Zec 1:20 And the LORD shewed me four carpenters. Zec 1:21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it. God didn't say through faith but prosperity. For example the Queen of Sheba saw the riches and said half of it was only told. When she heard the wisdom was amazed, went away and testified 1Ch 29:9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. 1Ch 29:10 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 1Ch 29:11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 1Ch 29:12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Exo 25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. God wanted his sanctuary to be built but the condition was to only take from those with a willing heart Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
We build God a habitation by winning souls. If you are going to build God a house, you should be a soul winner. When we win souls we are building God a house through the Spirit. Nobody can prevail against the kingdom of God which is the church, governments have come and gone but the church is still there. We belong to the greatest family on earth.
8.0 BEING BORN AGAIN

It means I was born rich, in favor and glory. In the house of God I am taught these realities. This is phase 1 and I am glad for you, said Pastor Chris. In healing meetings when I enter people get healed and in the second part its only money. In these meetings, you are not being taught how to become rich because you were born rich. These meetings shall have two parts: The doctrine part The money part.
9.0 HASTENING AFTER MONEY

Psa 16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. Those who hasten after money multiply their sorrows. 1Ti 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. The language is talking about the will of man who lust to be rich Speak in other tongues, pray in the Holy Ghost....... Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. When coming to a meeting that will catapult you like this carry money seeds, it means the results will be long lasting. As I leave the harvest in my heart will be greater and these are seeds which have been sown on my heart which is the fertile ground. When you are giving to God in expectation, give willingly and in faith. You receive what you prepare for!
9.1 WHAT IS TRUTH?

Truth is revelation. Truth is the word of God in my life. What I will receive is what I have opened my Spirit to receive. Give anything you have got to get a hold of truth.
Money is a defense, wisdom is also a defense. I should not put my faith on money but on the word of God which has made that money a defense. FINANCE CONVENTION DAY 2 21 FEBRUARY 2013

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The whole arena in worship as the choir led by sister Sinach singing Lord I worship you
Sinach leads the congregation in worship as she ministers ( song title; I worship greater I am) , Joe Praise ministers the second song; you are the great and mighty God. Preparing the hearts of the Global congregation to receive from God. Pastor Chris enters the auditorium full of the anointing and says; "Halleluiah just worship him there is none like him. Singing : when the roll is called up yonder x4. I will be there.
1.2 A word of reminder:

I would like to remind you, All these things we are not doing them for nothing, there is a reason of what we do. One man once said the world is a stage and man are like actors they have an entrance and an exit While we have that opportunity do what you should do, because one day we will translate into eternity were time will not count on and everything will be put on screen of what you did.
1.3 Word of knowledge:

There is a gentle man who participated in murder and you want God to forgive you. Come quickly that I may pray for you. Then Pastor Prays for the man who came on stage.
1.4 PURPOSE OF MEETING

Praise the lord, are we ready? What are we here for? In prayer meetings we assemble and pray, in healing services healing takes place. Our focus in this conference is finance, this kind of conference is special it is held once a year. Ecc 7:12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. Money cannot give life, but money is a defense. What it is telling you. Ecc 10:7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. is that a good thing? No let's go back to chapter 7v11 Ecc 7:11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
When you are very wise it is good, but without an inheritance is not good. What does that suggest to you. We have some people who are very wise, who know what should be done and nobody is listening
Wisdom without an inheritance nobody listens. Let's go to Ecc 9:14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: Ecc 9:15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. He had wisdom without inheritance. Some people say my father told me this but he left you no inheritance, it shows that his wisdom didn't work for him so it will not work for you too. Ecc 9:16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. Can you see why they are not listening? Because he is a poor man. That's the same thing that is happening to the gospel of Jesus, without inheritance you can't effect a change.
2.0 MINISTRY GROWTH

Recall of the time Christ Embassy church history. We started distributing Rhapsody about 11 years ago just distributed to few individuals, then to most part of the city, now we are in different nations. We started beaming on TV the messages which I preached then is still the same message. Without the finances we could still be having the life changing message to ourselves. So it is not the power of your message, refuse to be broke.
Confession: I refuse to be broke, because I have an important message. The gospel is already powerful, but without money u can't do much. Say I refuse to be broke because we have an important message. If the bible was never printed the message would have remained the same but I could not have heard it Critics never move the gospel forward. The critics never do anything; if the gospel was left to them we could still be in the village. While we are here a lot is happening around the world while we prepare for tomorrow. I refuse to be broke.
3.0 VOWING TO GOD.

A) Vowing - a Spiritual integrity
Psa 76:11 Vow , and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
Vowing to God is very important its something of a spiritual integrity, he respects your vows and he is challenged to bring it to pass. Its like a contractual agreement before God. The problem is when you don't pay, so never vow if you dont intend to pay. Satan hates people who give because the principle of prosperity is given, take that away Gods word promises poverty. Look at the verse again, it says, Vow , and pay unto the LORD your God When someone criticize the message of giving, ask them that did you give if not you made a mistake.
Jesus was just excellent, look at his attitude, he told them to listen to the Pharisees because they are sitting on Moses seat.
B) Paying Vows
Ecc 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. Ecc 5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow , than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Ecc 5:6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? When you have made a vow defers not to pay it. A man made a vow and Couldn't pay, he couldn't couldn't couldn't couldn't pay meaning his condition worsened financial because he did not pay his vows. There is an angel called wealth learn to walk with him I told you last year. But he is a stranger to many men. That is why I tell a lot of Gods children around the world. When man is angry at you, you have someone to cry to but when God is angry who will you call?
4.0 WHO CALLS FOR THE OFFERING

Exo 25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. God is talking here, and He is talking to Moses. Offering is not a collection, it is God that calls for offering, it was not Moses who wanted it. He asks from his own people and from his people he asks from those who are willing to give. Exo 35:21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. Exo 35:22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD. Exo 35:23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them. Exo 35:24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD'S offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it. Exo 35:25 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
Exo 35:26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair. Exo 35:27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; Exo 35:28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. Exo 35:29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, WHOSE HEART MADE THEM WILLING to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
Did you see that? What a beautiful portion of the Bible.
1chronicles 29v1-9 This is at the end of King Davids reign. David was one King who crowned his own successor. He is getting ready to make his sone King, and remember his son was the one to build the temple. 1Ch 29:1 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God. 1Ch 29:2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance. 1Ch 29:3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, 1Ch 29:4 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal: 1Ch 29:5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? 1Ch 29:6 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly, 1Ch 29:7 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. 1Ch 29:8 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. 1Ch 29:9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, BECAUSE WITH PERFECT HEART THEY OFFERED WILLINGLY TO THE LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
5.0 HOW GOD CARRIES HIS WORK

Ezr 2:68 And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in his place: God carries out his work through his people Ezr 7:11 Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel. Ezr 7:12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time. Ezr 7:13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee. Ezr 7:14 Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand; Ezr 7:15 And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, Ezr 7:16 And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem: Ezr 7:17 That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. Ezr 7:18 And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God. Ezr 7:19 The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem. Ezr 7:20 And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow , bestow it out of the king's treasure house. Ezr 7:21 And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily, Ezr 7:22 Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much. Ezr 7:23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? This man was not an Israelite but understood offering and wanted favor from God of Isarael. He recognized God as God of heaven. Halleluyah This is remarkable. Tell me whether you like this.
6.0 WHAT IS GIVING?

Giving is a grace and God's people should be acquainted with it. A lot of God's people think that its a disruption but that's the devil blinding them. Giving should be limited to church offering. Learn to give beyond that. There are others services that need you to give. Let me you something. 2Ch 1:1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. 2Ch 1:2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. 2Ch 1:3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. 2Ch 1:4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 2Ch 1:5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it. 2Ch 1:6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. A lot of people when they become bigger, they make God smaller. They now have less time to serve God. The bigger you become the more attention you should give God. We are spending more than 1 million us dollars per month on media work. So during the PRC, I asked the brethren to contribute towards the program, it was amazing, within 5 minutes we managed to raise more than 11 million. We are now talking about global work. Oral Roberts, Terry Osborne, they are all gone, now the ball is in our court.
7.0 CASE STUDY: KING SOLOMON.

Solomon ascends the throne and offered a thousand burnt offerings. You can be taught the word, but until you connect with your seed the revelation will not stay permanent. God knew what costed Solomon to offer that sacrifice yet he didn't ask for anything. God had to ask him personal what he wanted. Listen one burnt offering was usually enough. Now look at what happened. 2Ch 1:7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 2Ch 1:8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. Solomon knew that he was not his father's first son, he had brothers who wanted to take the throne away and had supporters the same thing you know that you have several enemies and you don't know the power of your seed. Connect with your seed to God. The fact that you love your enemies it doesn't mean they will love u back. Love them and pray for them, then so your seed 2Ch 1:9 Now , O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast
made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 2Ch 1:10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? 2Ch 1:11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: 2Ch 1:12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. 2Ch 1:13 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel. God spoke the word and it was done, he is God. Solomon received wisdom by the command of God, God granted him and it was so. There was no need for God to open his heard because he is God. Did you like that? S
Lets move one, 2Ch 5:6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude. They sacrificed which could not be numbered, they had learned from the King. 2Ch 7:5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. Between chapter one and seven the man was so mightly blessed. The first time it was 1000 and then he has made some tremendous increase in his offerings to God. What is going on through your spirit.
Speak in Tongues, Pray in the Holy Ghosr. OFFERING Song: hallelua
8.0 CONCLUSION
Through this Conference, you will experience SUDDEN PROMOTION!
THERE'S NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD BECAUSE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Pack your bags and we are going to shout 3 halleluas!! Shouting hallelua hallelua hallelua!!
Pastor Chris leaves the auditorium and Rev Tom calls for an alter call.

1.2 BECOME A DOER

Hearing the word of God, is a great blessing, but until you do the word it will not make a difference to you. There are some who hear the word of God, and its just nice. But the fact that you have heard it, it does not mean you have done it. Until you do the word, it cannot have effect on you. in the old testament there told to obey, but not in the new. There's a difference between doing the word and obeying the word Doing the word: is living out the word (the word is a mirror....it shows you who you are and the life you should live.) you are the reproduction of the word and that's why it doesn't tell you to obey the word in the New Testament. The bible says you are the offspring of the word of God; born not of the corruptible seed, but of the incorruptible. And the bible says, we have Gods nature, as he is so are we. He even tells us that He is the vine and we are the branches, I think thats awesome.
The bible says we have his nature. He gave us His life. Then he tells us "I am the vine, ye are the branches" remarkable! Paul calls us "living epistles. He is the word made fresh and we are the word born anew. This will give you a new mentality. To us the scriptures come as our revelation, that we may know him. Where do you see yourself and who are you? Where do you come from? Hey you are looking too serious now, loosen up a bit. Until you do the word you will not understand its power and its glory.
James 1:22-25 Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Jas 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: Jas 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
It means that those who are hearers only are deceiving themselves. The word shows you the quality of your personality. We are a kind of first fruit. Remember they were asking each other what kind of man is this? that is us. If you know who you are there are just some things that you would not do and something's that you would do....because of who you are!
2.0 LIFE IS SPIRITUAL

Are spiritual things important to you? Life is spiritual! This material world is controlled from the realm of the spirit.....only ignorant men don't know it. The world is control from the realm of the spirit by good and bad forces....and we function in it this world by whom we yield ourselves to. Spiritual things control this world.
Only the fool says there is no God. Imagine you go to a village, and then all the villagers gather around your car since they have not seen or heard of one. So there are there arguing with you that the car just happened to appear, nobody made it. There is no manufacturer, so imagine they are arguing with you. Because some people believe that the world was made by the "BIG BANG." How can chaos do all this creation of a beautiful world with the balance? God is boss! You can command him to come out and show himself then I will believe you, he will not come out, he is boss.
2.2 GET SERIOUS ABOUT TITHING.

How can you say you're doing the word and keep eating your Tithe? Until and unless you Tithe, you are programming yourself for financial strangulation. The Tithing is Gods security system; it is not Gods way of maintaining his kingdom. Remember when Jesus had to give out his tax, he did not call for Judas who was keeping the money, he sent Peter to go and take out coins from a fish The tithing system is for the benefits of those called (the Christian). When you Tithe, you're doing it for yourself and for your future. God will always have people to do His work. So when you say, no I am not tithing, someone else will. Believing is of the Spirit not with your mind. Your heart believes and your mind reasons.
2.3 WE HAVE TO PREACH THIS OUT

Your mind is the doorway to your spirit. You cannot be saved until you believe You cannot believe until you hear You cannot hear until are willing
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! The bible says you must confess, dont run away from confessing. Look the bible says we shall be ashamed if we believe in Jesus Christ. The bible is saying anybody, whosoever calls upon his name shall be saved. Look at verse 15 again. Doing Gods word is so important. I know there are some things that we have the liberty to assume but that does not mean that is what God thinks so.
1Jn 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
It says let us not just love in word, it is easy to write a letter of love, it is easy to say I love you, but God wats us to do it. Believing in speaking in tongues and arguing in defense of speaking in tongues doesn't mean you're speaking in tongues.
You can say you love your wife, but now you are not in speaking terms. Is that love?
If you have any problem at home, the responsibility is primarily on the man to solve it. I understand this. You have to solve it; not solving it, and keeping malice with your wife is cruel and unacceptable. If your wife is not talking to you, you have to make her talk to you LOVINGLY .
Trying to win by subduing your wife is the biggest shame you bring to yourself in the presence of the angels. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Anything you do to yourself...you do to yourself. So if you are blessing your wife, then you are blessing yourself. The bible says for the man to love his wife. No one should wait for the other to act Gods word before them. How can two people, believers living in the same house be quarrelling every day involving uncles every time? Do you think angels are clapping for you? If there are any amongst us who are having problems in their marriages, I am asking you to start the reconciliation process. If you have come to the point of separation, then I want to have the meeting with you, to let you know the implications of your thought, I will tell you what the bible says.
Why am I sharing this with you? If you do not do these simple things, you will miss a lot, even if I can prophesy to you. It doesnt matter even if you talk in tongues, but if you cannot love those next to you, then there is a problem.

We are very special to God. The Bible says we are the Temple of the living God but we have responsibilities as His temple. Matthew 23:16-21 Mat 23:16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! Mat 23:17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
If you understand how Jesus used the word, you will understand this. Every dollar/euro, everything that comes to you I s sanctified by you. The temple sanctifies the gold, you are the temple. Now when you tithe, you circumcise your money. Listen the world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, because the creation is waiting for you to free them. What we tough is blessed. If God has blessed you with a car, go and tithe in it. You might not tithe with the exact amount of the car, but how much you value it. Remember, Abrahams wife could not be touched; it was not just because Abraham loved God, love is not enough, Abraham was a tither, and everything of him was circumcised.
David had confident because he knew he was circumcised. The same thing with the first fruit, it is for your continuous expansion. Those who tithe with understanding don't lose....because they know the battle is the Lords
Exo 23:19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. Did you see that? He knew that they would think that they should quicken up the process so that they should produce again, but God asked them not to do it. Because it is God who is your true supply

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Do you know there are people busy listening to unbelievers giving them counsel, how do you expect to be blessed. Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Psa 1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. Psa 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
The system of the ungodly might look attractive but it shall fail. In life you have people with a glowing spirit and others with a failing spirit. If you're doing the word you have a glowing spirit. What do you want to be like? To remain aglow you have to be in the word. Know the word first. Begin with your tithe. You don't give your tithe to the poor, even though you are asked to give to the poor but not your tithe. You give your tithe in the house just as the first fruit...Splitting your tithe and giving it in 2 places is carrying out the administration of your tithe. You can't give instructions on your tithe. In many churches it is very tempting if they start thinking ah my tithe is too big. I cant give to this church but the blessing came from there. Or maybe you dont understand what the church. So dont think of dividing you tithe to be giving in small bits. Do you know what God would do when you are doing that? Remember God told Samuel to find another man to be made king when Saul made his own instructions. When the Holy Spirit comes into your life, He comes in with noise and people begin to notice you but when He is angry He goes quietly. Make things easy for yourself by yielding to the Holy Spirit. Just do what God says.
6.0 CASE STUDY: JOB - THE RICHEST MAN IN THE EAST.
Job was the richest man in the entire east.
Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. Job 1:2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. Job 1:3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. KJV
Job 1:1 THERE WAS a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who [reverently] feared God and abstained from and shunned evil [because it was wrong]. Job 1:2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. Job 1:3 He possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and a very great body of servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the East . AMP
The bible says, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the East. So what kind of friends do you think Job had? Big shots right? I wanted to show you his mentality when he was in a bad condition later.
Job 30:1 BUT NOW they who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock. Can you see that? Who were his friends? They were Kings and godly men. Okay lets see his friends.
Job 2:11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.KJV Listen these 3 men were kings, and they knew God. They told Job beasutiful things, though they kept to tell Job that he must have sinned. Of course later on they blamed Job, but God did not want them to lame Job. Okay read what one of them said.
6.1 KING ELIPAZS PREACHING TO JOB
Job 22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Job 22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. Job 22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Job 22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. Job 22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. Job 22:26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. Job 22:27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. Job 22:29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
Halleluyah! Praise the Lord.
7.0 FELLOWSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
Until you are introduced to the Holy Spirit, your life will never take up the reason you were born. There is no greatness if you dont know the Holy Spirit, otherwise life will be meaningless. Until you know the Holy Spirit you will function in religion. Christianity is not a religion. It is not about doing the outward things that Christians do, and you think that that is Christianity there is more to Christianity. Only the Holy Spirit can lead to that place. Let me show you something
Exo 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Exo 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. Exo 23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. You will see this is no ordinary angel, this Is the Holy ghost, in the OT he was revealed as the Angel
of the Lord. We keep calling him the Holy Spirit, but is his name. The Holy Spirit answers to the name of Jesus. Failure will attend a man who doesn't know the Holy Spirit. There a lot of people who are struggling, you may have tried, maybe you work so much, but you see life is Spiritual. I know someone who can bring you in. Job said the spirit of God had made me. Hey do you know him? There are men whose lives are just at a standstill, even those helping them are tired.
Confession: i will always be a success...because i am in fellowship with the Holy Ghost one who knows all things.
Are you listening to him? Let me read you some scriptures
7.1 THE HOLY SPIRIT: THE BEST COMFORTER

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Listen to the words of the master. He is talking about a comforter here. he knew that there are times where no man can comfort you. You dont even know who to talk to.
Psa 69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
When Job was in his predicament, even when his friends came, there was a problem, lets see. Job 16:1 THEN JOB answered, Job 16:2 I have heard many such things; wearisome and miserable comforters are you all! You know they are times, they are all advising you the things you already know.
Jesus said I will send you another comforter....Gloryyyyy! THIS ONE WORKS.... The holy Spirit brings us the presence of the father, the presence of Jesus. If you know him, there is hope. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.
Nothing that he cannot teach you. He will even bring to your remembrance
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
The Holy Ghost bears in my spirit that I am a child of God. He bears testimony through me. You don't need to struggle, all you need is fellowship.
Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: Isa 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
God knows where the money is? Gloryyyyy! No gate shall be successfully shut against me.
What words in your dialect/ language can you use to communicate with God...That's why when you get born again, He gives you a new language to be able to communicate with Him. This why I encourage you to talk in tongues. Some of the words people use there is full of bitterness. Christianity is no religion its a super natural life. You I started this journey while I was a very young person. But what I did, I wanted to have results. This is more than the wisdom of men. Life is spiritual. Jesus talked to fish, storms, blind eyes, lame limbs. Etc.
Halleluyah. And the bible says, as he is so are we. Thats why the bible says count it all joy when you are going through divers tests. A thousand shall fall on your side and ten thousand on your right hand. When you speak in tongues to speak off his words, you are realizing to angels the secrets of the Holy Ghost and instrusting them what to do. Most people are ignorant of Gods word, the knowledge from God. So they worry, Oh God why did you let this thing happen to me, God is saying, hy did you let this happen?
Confess: I refuse to fail.
Speak in tongues and change things. You will know what to do after speaking in tongues.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRAISE AND WORSHIP.
Praise the lord. Pastor prays a prayer of thanksgiving for the word God has made available for us, and the presence of the Holy Ghost. He prays that our spirits are open to receive more of Gods word.
Tell 3 people that this is my year of Favour.
2.0 HAVE THE RIGHT FRIENDS

It's very important to have the right friends, the right company; ones that would inspire you and motivate you around you. Remember I talked about Job yesterday, he was a great man. Remember godly men came to see him. What was beautiful ws the communication, even though they blamed him for his troubles and were trying to defend God Elihu: was the youngest of jobs friends. He was unhappy with them for not being to convict Job that he was wrong. Job agreed with them but the problem was that they did not know the real problem, they did not know what had caused the trouble. Sometimes you might be facing challenges in life but not necessarily that you have done something wrong.
Pastor Said: I wasn't too happy with Elihu and I will tell you why?
2.1 ELIHUS WORDS TO JOB

Job 33:1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. Job 33:2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. Job 33:3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 33:5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
Ah ah! This is that young man talking. Okay let me show you something else.
Job 34:7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? Job 34:8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
Look who is talking about now? Look at the way he is talking about Job.
Job 42:7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
Job 42:8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job. Job 42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job. Job 42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42:11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. Job 42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. Job 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters
3.0 TITHING IS NOT OF THE LAW

When we talk about finance in the kingdom, we are dealing with stewardship Gods best is not for you to have financial miracle but for you to have a good financial life. Recap Last year: money seed - pastor wanted us to have a great financial life. Remember giving your tithe you are circumcising your money. You give it all not in bits, and you dont put instructions on it. There got to be a token of stewardship.
Gen 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Genesis to Malachi is called the Old Testament section of the book and then Matthew to Revelation is called the New Testament section of the book. When we talk about Old Testament, we are not talking about the book, we are referring to the covenant. Every major truth in the word of God, you Trace back to Genesis. Some people say Tithing is for the Old Testament folks. The Abrahamic covenant is not called old; its for the new creation. The Mosaic covenant is the old covenant. The bible says those who are called ante blessed with faithful Abraham. Tithe and the First fruit came before the old covenant. Tithing is not of the law; it was there before the law, the same as the first fruit.
4.0 DOING THINGS GODS WAY ALWAYS PAYS.

When you do it in another way, you will be paying a heavey price. Lets look at an example 1Ch 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 1Ch 21:2 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. 1Ch 21:3 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel? 1Ch 21:4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
What David was about to do here was not something very nice, he was to number the men. So he didnt send the priests, but he sent the captain of the hosts. But Joab is asking why would the king bring a curse on Israel. God gave 3 options, he told him to choose one.
If you love God and you are humble and you love people, the Holy Spirit will guide you. There are many things you will do rightly that he will show you in the scriptures.
David was measuring his strength by his numbers but fail to do what God says to do. When you check your finances, you ought to give to God.
Exo 30:12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
(This was what David didn't do)
The reason for doing this is for your heart not to rest on uncertain riches. So when you check your strength give an offering. This is Phronesis (the wisdom of the just). Do not be dependent on the financial power, be dependent on the power of God. Never be tempted to depend on human ability.
5.0 STEWARDSHIP IN GODS RICHES
God wants administrators who understands; There is a difference between giving to God and giving for God. God has appointed you as a steward of his riches; you know how to give for God. You are a administrator of Gods riches. Even when you make investments, you are using Gods money. This is not so because He owns the world but the money you are using is sanctified money. God is looking for men and women he can count on.
Rom 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. The rest of it belongs to God if it is sanctified. He will multiply the rest. God doesn't take over just because you're born again. He's committed to you as you are to Him.
We may never be able to explain why some people are in a situation but we can show how to come out of it. God can be depended upon. You can bet your life on Him. Man may value your seed and sacrifice but you see God is a judge. So how do you understand by seed and sacrifice.
Psa 126:1 A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Psa 126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. Psa 126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. Psa 126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. Psa 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Psa 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Husband and wife who have issues and takes it to people instead of sowing precious seed. Why can't the 2 of you agree together? It's PRIDE! Why are you messing up? Talking about your wife saying, dont mind her. The problem here is pride. We only fight people we know, and that's madness! It doesnt matter how many times you hold a bible. If a man kicks away his wife, he has himself to blame. Because I cant tell a lady to move into a house of a mad man. If you're violent or you seem like you might be violent then something is wrong
If you have issues with your wife, there's nothing wrong in going to plead with your wife to forgive you. Humble yourself to God. No man can easily love a woman that is disrespectful, and has a tongue like a serpent.
6.1 HUSBAND MEANS MASTER

To the woman humble yourself....husband means master. When you chose to get married, you chose to have a master. Husband is not your colleague. Little things like this can help. Before your problem is too far...both of you can talk. It's better for those that are quarrelling than those that are not even talking. At least those quarrelling are airing their views but try doing it with a lower voice though. Just make sure you resolve the issues at hand. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psa 127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
7.0 YOU ARE GODS ADMINISTRATOR

Are you still here? Okay, moving along. Giving to the poor is very important, but it is a different type of giving. I am not talking about giving exactly, but since you are Gods administrators, you have to understand these things. All God is looking for is faithfulness with what He has committed to our hands...then He can commit bigger things. What have you done with what God has committed to your trust? How have you managed with what you have been given. Is there anybody who is not wearing anything? Of course not, it means you have something. No one has nothing....it doesn't matter where you begin....where you are just do it well, manage it well. Some are just looking for one big break, but they failed to manage the other opportunities. Someone working in a company and messed up and says he wants to start his own...he is a joker!
7.1 GOD IS NOT A STUPID INVESTOR.
Luk 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Luk 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? Luk 16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? Luk 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Mammon: the Syrian God of money "Mammona" If you carry financial transactions in Gods way then you are not favoring Mammona Every child of God should give his or her "first fruit" and then the "Tithe". Many child of God are not giving out of abundance but as an act of faith and as they give God increases them.
7.2 GIVING TO THE POOR IS NOT SOWING A SEED OR TITHING.

Giving to the poor is just part of what he tells us to do. It is not tithing or first fruit. Christians in America have been so responsible for so many around the world. But it is important to get to understand the spiritual law.
God can open doors for you: door lead to rooms God can open gates for you: gates lead to cities
Liberality can cause your soul to prosper but that's not enough....it's just one of the blessing and one of the expectations of God from you.
Deu 15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
Some people are poor just because they didn't hear the right thing and many will go to hell because they didn't hear the gospel.
Mar 14:1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. Mar 14:2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
Mar 14:3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. Mar 14:4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? Mar 14:5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. Mar 14:6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. Mar 14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. Mar 14:8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Mar 14:9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Worship God above giving to the poor. Dont let God be the last, give him first.
7.3 LESSON FROM CAIN AND ABEL:

Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. Abel did it on time and gave his firstling to God and Cain delayed meaning he already started eating from it. Do not delay in giving to God.
Psa 20:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Psa 20:2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; Psa 20:3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
So many things happen in our world that many dont understand. Sometimes looks like too many are still in bondage to these satanic forces. Satan cannot force himself on you but if he has you, you cannot free yourself. As a born again, as Gods children Satan cannot touch you, your life. If Satan cannot touch you, he tries to touch things around you to frustrate you, because he cannot tough your life. But God;s desire is to perfect all that is around you.
8.0 UNDERSTANDING THE HOLY SPIRIT.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. But it is not a name but it is who he is, it is like calling you man. We are not giving any name for the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of God. We are given the name of Jesus to use. You are the spirit who has a soul and lives in a body Your spirit and your soul form the inward man and no man can see it but God. In the realm of the Spirit, God is a Spirit but he is so great beyond our imagination, thinking or beyond any image we make of Him. We can't fathom His greatness. This great God does all He does by His Spirit and can be everywhere and doesn't have to move. The one that does the working is called the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit can be in everyone in His totality. This Holy Spirit is the one who actually made us. He is that who proceeds from the father.
Walking with the Holy Spirit: Makes you wise Makes you successful in any and everything The Holy Spirit passionately loves us...that's why i tells you to speak in tongues It helps you activate your spirit. You become spirit conscious. You receive guidance, instructions from the Holy Spirit. One of the things we need to understand about the Holy Spirit is he makes giants out of little men. He makes you a success. The Holy Spirit knows and understands everything, so we can trust him.
8.1 THE HOLY SPIRIT.- THE MASTER ARCHITECT

Pro 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: Pro 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: Pro 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Pro 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; [you must read the book seven spirits of God by Pastor Chris]
He was there as one brought up with him: as the Architect and Master workman Check it in AMP Pro 8:27 When He prepared the heavens, I [Wisdom] was there; when He drew a circle upon the face of the deep and stretched out the firmament over it, It was designed by the Holy Ghost. Those who went to space, they have seen how marvelous it is, but they are afraid to accept the truth that there is a God, because they know that if they accept, it is too dangerous, because that God must be too great. But I tell you, it is better to believe that there is God.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. The Holy Spirit needs you to work for you. The Holy Spirit does not have his own name nor does he have a body and that's why he needs us to be able to function. The Holy Spirit lives in your body, he has to move in you, when Jesus was here, he lived in Him. He cannot intercede except through you or somebody else. So when you are told to open your mouth and pray, you might never know what is to come, but HE does. People are having trouble every time, they need this Master Architect, and they need the Holy Spirit.
With the Holy Spirit you will never be disadvantaged. Speak in tongues now.
9.0 CONCLUSION
The reason we give our offering is not because we came to church. We are not like the rest, you have to understand this. If you were not in a service, give your offering still when you come the church the next time. The reason we give offerings is not because we come to church. Your life in Christ is important. Act like a conscious Christian, one that does things consciously towards God. He has a consciousness that he is responsible to someone.
Proverbs 13:8 ...The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
A man cannot deliver himself. You cant depend on material goods for your life, yet he tells you that The ransom of a man's life are his riches. That's your sacrifice. What God has given to you is for your sake. If you're in trouble to come out of it....from one level of success to another.
9.1 CASE STUDY: MY MOTHERS SEED.

I remember I bought a car for my other some years ago, then later when we were discussing I asked her, where is that car, she was like, I used it for something. Then I was like what did you used it for. She had tears in her eyes. So one of my sisters told me she gave out that car as a seed so that one of my sisters should have a child. And the following year, my sister had a baby. After that she then told me, now I want a car, so I told her, Ah every time you look at that child you should see your car inside him, anyway I bought her a car again. But I hope you have seen what your seed can do.
9.2 USE WHAT GOD GAVE YOU : SEE WITH THE SPIRIT.
You have to see that miracle, you have to see that miracle. Getting ready to give our offerings...Pastor said he wants to help us aright. He asked us how many of us have seen someone wearing a red jacket
Your eyes can only see the things that are only existing. The one you used to see the one with the red jacket are the eyes of your soul: (imagination) You didnt see R.E.D. J.A.C.K.E..T. as in words, but you had an imaginative picture in your head. Those two eyes can only see the things that are existing. So what you used to see just now when I asked you about the Jacket were the eyes of the soul, which you used to pick up a picture that you saw someone some time back wearing a red jacket. And Your spirit has eyes and only sees what God wants them to see Use your imaginative power: you can see something that does not exist. if you see something you don't like....stop! Change it and see what you want you see. When you begin to see what you want to see, hold it...or you can write it down. Make up what you want to see, if you want you can write down what you are seeing. Everyday look at it.
If you do what I have just told you, it will take you where God always wants you to be. Prayer helps our soul eyes to see Visions. Create and use your Rhema. Practice this.

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 WORSHIP AND PRAISE

The whole arena is worshipping and Praising God with a worship song led by Sister Sinach Singing: Lord I trust in you. Pastor Chris comes on stage, the whole arena is shouting with joy. Praise the lord Prayer by Pastor Chris Let us pray. Father, in the name of our lord Jesus Christ, thank you for your grace and for the Holy Spirit. Thank you for the word that you give us. We thank you for your presence. Now our hearts are open to receive your word. And the whole congregation says, AMEN We have been here on this since Wednesday. So who is coming for the first time? If you have not been here since the beginning, that would mean you have missed too much. You see we can't afford to go back and pick you up. If there is anything you cannot understand, just keep quiet and keep listening. Do you have your bible with you? Its really new days, in the old we used to raise our big bibles in the air. But now I see people are raising their phones and iPads. Anyway just raise them up and let's sing.
Singing: I have a wonderful treasure.
2.0 POWER [FROM GOD] OF WEALTH

Deu 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. The bible did not say God gave you skills get wealth. As much as God gives you talents and skill but you see wealth is spiritual. There a lot of people that work hard every day but never get wealth and it does not come by skill or experience or where you were born. Here it says wealth comes from power from God.
Remember when Jesus told the fishermen to go and cast their nets. The man spoke and caused to catch multitude of fish. It was not a skill; it was the power of God. Even remember when he fed the multitudes. When he rose up the dead, it was no skill but power of God. It is God that gives you the power. Listen let's get back to the verse..that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day Means that Gods people having wealth, is proving the Abrahamic covenant. It is proof of the Abrahamic covenant when this verse is fulfilled. So it gives me a better perspective of who I really am. Gen 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: The Lord had said to Abraham [then Abram] to get out of his country. If you look at the New Testament, you will see that Abraham was looking for a city founded by God, operating by the very principles of God. So even though he was moving out physically but the main point was to have a new mentality; to get into a spiritual city. Thats where the blessings were for Abraham. Listen the bible says, we are the seed of Abraham. What does that mean for you? Gen 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Gen 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. Can you see, at what age did Abram depart from his home? 75 right. So how old are you? Imagine God asking you to start a new life at the age of 75. Would you believe him? You are never too old to receive a vision. Praise the LORD.
3.0 NATURAL SEED VS SPIRITUAL SEED.

A natural seed will have a circumcision of the body; the spiritual seed will have the circumcision of the heart, of the spirit. We are not that of the natural seed. God said, for the natural seed, everyone had to be circumcised to be numbered with the people; to
become a member. Now for a spiritual seed for you to become a member you have to be born with the circumcision of the heart. Now you begin to live in the new family. If you got born again, you went through circumcision of the heart and you have been given the Abrahamic blessing. You got it. You dont need to seek this blessing. You have the power to get wealth. The mentality of the dull seed is let me do something that I should please God to be blessed. While the star seed knows he is blessed and he is now operating in that blessing.
4.0 DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE.

Listen, in Christianity, we are not trying to get something. Dont try to be something, for whatever you want you already are. Did you discover you are more human as the days goes by? You never became more human; you already a human. The same with a Christian; you are a child of God, that's all, you don't become more of God's child. You are an heir to the promise; you ought to operate from that mentality. The problem is, a lot of God's children are ignorant. They just don't know. Don't be a victim and blame the circumstances. The day you discover, you will come out of it. Do you know the wealth which is available now is more than enough for all of us; If we divide it equally it would be enough. The problem is, men are controlled by the mentality of lack. Listen; there is no lack in the world, as long as you walk in the mentality of the Word. Let me pick the American dollar for example, did you know there are more 100 US dollar bills than they are 1 dollar bills? People are just having a poor mentality. They are always thinking, what I am going to be left with
5.0 THE LESSONS FROM THE STORY OF THE RICH YOUNG RULER.
Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Mat 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Why do you call me good, only God is. Its like when he asked the disciples, and when Peter answered Jesus said, no flesh and blood has revealed this to you.
Now let's read up to verse 21 Jesus did not tempt this man at all. This man was thinking he was doing everything in the word of God. Jesus knew that he was not doing it with faith.
Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. Mat 19:22 but when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Listen, this man was acquainted with the prophets, they sang davids psalms. So jesus didnt tell him something new.
5.1 GIVE TO THE POOR BUT NOT YOUR TITHE.

Pro_19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. Now lets look at Pro 28:27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. Always give to the poor, but don't give your tithe or first fruit to the poor. Put things in the right place. So if you observe, abundance is not by giving to the poor, there is something else.
5.1 YOUR MENTALITY MATTERS.

You see your mentality matters. Who are do you think you are. This young man became sad and ran away. He had a mentality of lack. How many times have you thought of how much you are giving God. Your offering should not just be that small change that you can squeeze in your pocket. Let me say something about my dad. When I was growing up, I never saw my father and mother quarreling. The day I thought I would see them quarrelling, I heard my mother talking angrily, but then my father did not respond he just stood there. Then he turned and walked away, and I was wondering how could he take that? Some minutes later, I found them sitting together in the living room. Listen, don't just be arguing, shouting. Somebody has to shut up, somebody has to be wise. Listen, if you grew up in that kind of environment, you will have the same mentality. When going to church, my dad had to be giving us offering when we were children. So we grew up in that way. We knew we had to be giving whenever we go to church.
Some pastors are afraid of sharing thoughts about money because they dont want to be criticized. You will always be criticized for anything you do, so what do you do? Just tell the truth. You must have a growing faith. Always work on outdoing your past. Push yourself, how much more can I do.
6.0 CASE STUDY: KING SOLOMON WHO LOVED GOD

1Ki 3:1 And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. 1Ki 3:2 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days. 1Ki 3:3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. Look at verse 3 again Did Solomon loved a lot of things? The bible says, Solomon loved the Lord, He loved God. Do you lve God. Listen, every time you demonstrate the love for God there is something that follows. 2Ch 1:15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance. 2Ch 9:20 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon. He made silver and gold to be in abundance like stones. Now God says you can do better than that, you can make Gold as dust. Hey how often do you find dust? That should be your mentality. We should have the mentality of supply not lack. Don't sit down after giving your offering and you say, I have given all, and when another offering comes you say, I have given everything, no don't limit yourself. Listen I left that mentality long time ago. I said, if I can travel without a visa, then I can travel without money. You see, money follows me where I am. You have to remove the limitation, especially when it comes to giving to God. If the devil tries to tempt you when you are giving, tell him that "devil, say it again and I will double it." You are the King's kid, you are the blessed. Can I show you some more? We are dealing with kingdom finance here right.
If you continue looking down the verses from that 1 Kings 3:3 you will see that Solomon went ahead to go and give to the Lord. You will see that the same night God visited him. But I know God is not that limited, He is able to do more. You see Solomon had the passion for God. He built the house for God. So when I was pondering on this, I started crying, I was saying, the house that Solomon built was destroyed, anyway God does not live in temples anymore. So I said, God I want to build you a spiritual house. We are the temple
of the Holy Ghost now. I remember when we were looking for a new venue, God told me anything you want is made available for you. Have the passion for God. Solomon loved the Lord, do you Love God.
7.0 DEMONSTRATING REPENTANCE

The first way to demonstrate your repentance, it is in your tithes and offerings. How do you prove to yourself that you have changed? Talking is not enough; you must act your faith. Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. You see this very interesting because this verse is very similar to Gen 1:1-2. Because one verse carries information of one part's history to another part. Look at the verse again; the messenger here is John the baptist. And then the bible is talking about the end time church, that is going to face the second coming of Jesus. We know it because he is talking about the day of Judgment here; for the first coming of Jesus was not judgment. Look at verse 3-7 Mal 3:3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Mal 3:4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. Mal 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow , and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Mal 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? So the people were wondering, how are we going to return to the Lord? Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a cursed. It doesn't mean God will begin to swear at you, but it means that there shall be obstacles hindering you. Mal 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Why is it that we are talking about this, and some Christians still don't tithe or give their offering?
8.0 THE SAME MEASURE

Remember Paul said something about sowing bountifully reaping bountifully. 2Co 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Luk 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Most people just stop at the word bosombut there is more. Listen, what's the size you are using to measure your rice? Maybe its that kind of a cup where you put candle wax to cheat the customers. Listen the same way, the thing you are using to measure that thing you are giving to God, the same will be used to measure for you. If you were using a spoon, the same will be measured to you. When we minister to you, I mean the Holy Ghost. How much we are able to bring is dependent on how much you are able to take. I remember a certain mother came to see me, with a 9 year old son, who was disturbing her in church as I was ministering. The kid kept on asking the mother, why is that man wearing the white clothes following pastor everywhere. The mother said, there is no one there its just pastor. But the kid insisted to say, mum, look at him, he is going wherever pastor is going." When Pastor Chris started praying, the son said to the mother again, mum, now the man is praying with Pastor. Listen that was an angel, you see, we have the Holy Ghost inside us, and we have angels at our service. That angel of blessing is here today. Amen. Now, when we are sharing these things, I know some are asking, is pastor saying everybody must be rich? Listen I want to remove that mentality. How do you know if somebody is rich or not? Is it by checking the way how is dressed? No. You are really rich, when you are rich towards God. Imagine if your house is where God lives. Angels meet in your house. You should take the time to observe the activities of angels. You have to encourage yourself in responding to God. If God is ministering to you about your offering, then go ahead and respond. Go ahead and Give it. Sometimes God makes you to do something, not because what you have, but what you don't have. He wants to channel it to you. It matters what your expectation is. Somebody shout GlooooRrryyyy!!!
9.0 THE ANOINTING IS GREATER THAN THE
YOKE
Isa 10:27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. Listen, the yoke is an obstacle to progress. The anointing is stronger than the yoke. Let look at chapter 48 and see what the anointing would do. Isa 48:21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. Are you going to let the Holy Spirit lead you. If he tells you to give something, will you do it. On Thursday, I heard the Spirit telling me, I have to give a million dollars, so I said, I will give a million dollars. The following morning, a man came and gave me 1.2 million dollars. This is what happens to me. I have never spent that much money myself. In the last 2 weeks I have given 3 million dollars. But I am very happy Some would say, you gave it because you had it. Listen, I had it first before I knew myself. I only became aware. That is what am I doing to you now. Why do I GIVE? I give because I cannot affirm not to give. I don't want to have finacnial problems. I give because I don't want to be dependent on any situation. 2Co 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: V8 God is able to make all grace come towards you. KJV 2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be selfsufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].AMP Why is it that some people always have testimonies while others dont? It is in the application of these spiritual principles. If you lost your job, but you used to give big, but now you are failing because there is no more business. You were supposed to look beyond your business. It means you were letting your business limit you, it means you were giving because your business was working. Don't let something good happen to you; don't let something bad happen to you. You must be the one to make things happen. So your foundation should not be your business or your job, your supply ought to be God. That's the best foundation.
Confession: I am being prepared. Nothing moves me. I am greater than my job. I am greater than my business or my house. This is why some Christians are restless, they are afraid of losing their businesses, or their positions at work. You are bigger than your job. Let your foundation be God. Jer 17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. Jer 17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Did you see that, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man Did you hear that; Did you know human beings are the ones running that business/job? He shall not see when good cometh. It means he will begin to miss opportunities. He used to have people calling him giving him opportunities, but not any more. He used to have great ideas, but no more. Jer 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. Not trusting in the government, or the economy or the relationship with the managing director. Look at verse 8 Jer 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Some people say, because business went down. No, look at the bible here, it says, he shall not see when heat cometh. Listen you are not a child of God when things are on the right track. You are always a child of God, whether winter or summer season. Confession: My prosperity aint gonna end. My prosperity is eternal. Speak in other tongues and prophesy about your life.

Sister Angelina CEC Zone 5 Financial convention has change my financial status, I received money in my account which I didn't know where it came from. I phoned the person who deposited it that it was a mistake but insisted that I should have the money. The cash I sawed it as a seed because I knew where I was coming from. Today people can give testimonies of where I am coming from. Pastor Chris comments; "wow what an inspiring testimony please take your seat"
2.0 THE SUBJECT OF FAITH

Abraham and Us Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. This means He is a faith God, let's go to Hebrews 11v1 Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is the evidence of the unseen being certain of what u hope for and calling real what u are yet to see. To God there is nothing that is too late, even the dead he quickeneth, the God whom we serve gives life to the dead. Amen An example was Abraham and it matters what kind of God you believe.
2.1 It is a Personal responsibility.

It will depend on me and everyone will be wondering why things are bad and not changing. Even if I say God doesn't exist, he is not offended because he is too big for that. If I want to take advantage of his blessings he is ready There are Professors with three PhDs but are broke and poor. They went to the best school and they will say, Education doesn't work, but others who have done the same thing and prospered will disagree and say school helps.
The same thing some were here last year for the conference but never experienced an financial miracle. The fact that your car is broken and other cars are moving doesn't make manufacturers thieves, it might be that you are not taking proper care of it.
3.0 WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY CHRISTIANITY?

The Question is what did I do with what I learned, with my Christianity? Even when Jesus went to his home town to perform miracles and nothing happened Mar 6:1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. Mar 6:2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Mar 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Mar 6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Mar 6:5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. Mighty works means the blind seeing, lamb walk, deaf hear. Teaching is the cure of unbelief that's what you do when you want to help those who don't believe. Believe with expectancy! Jesus didn't have 100% results; he had them only on those who had faith. Some were healed by just touching him because God put his power in him
4.0 CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD

1. He quickeneth the dead 2. Calls things which were not as though they were.

He believed that he might become and stayed on the word of God cause God never fails. Abraham knew that he was to be held responsible for not letting the promise come to pass. When prophesy is spoken you have a responsibility to make it come to pass. Anything is possible is the higher way, it doesn't matter who is against it Rom 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: Rom 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; An unbelief person staggers, strong faith gives glory to God Rom 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Until you are fully persuaded you can't have strong Faith. Weak faith considers circumstances. Strong faith gives glory to God. Nothing is impossible, because anything is possible. When you have faith in God challenges come and you might begin to question but the Spirit of God will tell you to be quiet, when unbelief strikes turn your face to the wall and speak in tongues and don't let unbelief come from your mouth. Remember the walls of Jericho how they fall. God is a miracle God
6.0 DEALING WITH EXISTING CHALLENGES.

What do you say to the things which are already there? 1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1Co 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: for example when we were still 200 I told the church that we will distribute bibles around the world and we are doing it today. Its because I was fully persuaded. in Verse28 comes from the Greek word which means things which are inexistent You can bring things which exists that we don't like to nothing Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Aions means worlds Things came into existence through the spoken word of God. #rhema Eph 5:1 THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]. Eph 5:2 And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. [Ezek. 20:41.] Eph 5:3 But immorality (sexual vice) and all impurity [of lustful, rich, wasteful living] or greediness must not even be named among you, as is fitting and proper among saints (God's consecrated people). Eph 5:4 Let there be no filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish and sinful (silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness [to God]. AMP. Imitators meaning copiers, copy God. God wants us to copy him. How did God frame the world? It was through faith hence we can do the same thing with our worlds. Praise the Lord
7.0 THE MIND OF CHRIST.
What mind did Christ have? When the storm come the mind of Christ was we are going to the other side nothing to stop him. The same mind should be in me, the faith mind. He had no sense of lack. No consciousness of need. We don't fail, when you are a baby you say I can't fail but grown-ups say I don't fail because its not in our nature. As we prophesy, we put things in place. Speak to the situation, don't let things just happen! You have the mind of a victor, of oneness with Christ - the faith mind. Zec 1:17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. Zec 1:18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw , and behold four horns. Zec 1:19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. Zec 1:20 And the LORD shewed me four carpenters. Zec 1:21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it. God didn't say through faith but prosperity. For example the Queen of Sheba saw the riches and said half of it was only told. When she heard the wisdom was amazed, went away and testified 1Ch 29:9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. 1Ch 29:10 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 1Ch 29:11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 1Ch 29:12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Exo 25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. God wanted his sanctuary to be built but the condition was to only take from those with a willing heart Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. We build God a habitation by winning souls. If you are going to build God a house, you should be a soul winner.
When we win souls we are building God a house through the Spirit. Nobody can prevail against the kingdom of God which is the church, governments have come and gone but the church is still there. We belong to the greatest family on earth.
8.0 BEING BORN AGAIN

It means I was born rich, in favor and glory. In the house of God I am taught these realities. This is phase 1 and I am glad for you, said Pastor Chris. In healing meetings when I enter people get healed and in the second part its only money. In these meetings, you are not being taught how to become rich because you were born rich. These meetings shall have two parts: The doctrine part The money part.
9.0 HASTENING AFTER MONEY

Psa 16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. Those who hasten after money multiply their sorrows. 1Ti 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. The language is talking about the will of man who lust to be rich Speak in other tongues, pray in the Holy Ghost....... Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. When coming to a meeting that will catapult you like this carry money seeds, it means the results will be long lasting. As I leave the harvest in my heart will be greater and these are seeds which have been sown on my heart which is the fertile ground. When you are giving to God in expectation, give willingly and in faith. You receive what you prepare for!
9.1 WHAT IS TRUTH?

Truth is revelation. Truth is the word of God in my life. What I will receive is what I have opened my Spirit to receive. Give anything you have got to get a hold of truth. Money is a defense, wisdom is also a defense. I should not put my faith on money but on the word of God which has made that money a defense.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The whole arena in worship as the choir led by sister Sinach singing Lord I worship you Sinach leads the congregation in worship as she ministers ( song title; I worship greater I am) , Joe Praise ministers the second song; you are the great and mighty God. Preparing the hearts of the
Global congregation to receive from God. Pastor Chris enters the auditorium full of the anointing and says; "Halleluiah just worship him there is none like him. Singing : when the roll is called up yonder x4. I will be there.
1.2 A word of reminder:

I would like to remind you, All these things we are not doing them for nothing, there is a reason of what we do. One man once said the world is a stage and man are like actors they have an entrance and an exit While we have that opportunity do what you should do, because one day we will translate into eternity were time will not count on and everything will be put on screen of what you did.
1.3 Word of knowledge:

There is a gentle man who participated in murder and you want God to forgive you. Come quickly that I may pray for you. Then Pastor Prays for the man who came on stage.
1.4 PURPOSE OF MEETING

Praise the lord, are we ready? What are we here for? In prayer meetings we assemble and pray, in healing services healing takes place. Our focus in this conference is finance, this kind of conference is special it is held once a year. Ecc 7:12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. Money cannot give life, but money is a defense. What it is telling you. Ecc 10:7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. is that a good thing? No let's go back to chapter 7v11 Ecc 7:11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
When you are very wise it is good, but without an inheritance is not good. What does that suggest to you. We have some people who are very wise, who know what should be done and nobody is listening Wisdom without an inheritance nobody listens. Let's go to Ecc 9:14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
Ecc 9:15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. He had wisdom without inheritance. Some people say my father told me this but he left you no inheritance, it shows that his wisdom didn't work for him so it will not work for you too. Ecc 9:16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. Can you see why they are not listening? Because he is a poor man. That's the same thing that is happening to the gospel of Jesus, without inheritance you can't effect a change.
2.0 MINISTRY GROWTH

Recall of the time Christ Embassy church history. We started distributing Rhapsody about 11 years ago just distributed to few individuals, then to most part of the city, now we are in different nations. We started beaming on TV the messages which I preached then is still the same message. Without the finances we could still be having the life changing message to ourselves. So it is not the power of your message, refuse to be broke.
Confession: I refuse to be broke, because I have an important message. The gospel is already powerful, but without money u can't do much. Say I refuse to be broke because we have an important message. If the bible was never printed the message would have remained the same but I could not have heard it Critics never move the gospel forward. The critics never do anything; if the gospel was left to them we could still be in the village. While we are here a lot is happening around the world while we prepare for tomorrow. I refuse to be broke.
3.0 VOWING TO GOD.

A) Vowing - a Spiritual integrity
Psa 76:11 Vow , and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. Vowing to God is very important its something of a spiritual integrity, he respects your vows and he is challenged to bring it to pass. Its like a contractual agreement before God. The problem is when you don't pay, so never vow if you dont intend to pay. Satan hates people who give because the
principle of prosperity is given, take that away Gods word promises poverty. Look at the verse again, it says, Vow , and pay unto the LORD your God When someone criticize the message of giving, ask them that did you give if not you made a mistake.
Jesus was just excellent, look at his attitude, he told them to listen to the Pharisees because they are sitting on Moses seat.
B) Paying Vows
Ecc 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. Ecc 5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow , than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Ecc 5:6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? When you have made a vow defers not to pay it. A man made a vow and Couldn't pay, he couldn't couldn't couldn't couldn't pay meaning his condition worsened financial because he did not pay his vows. There is an angel called wealth learn to walk with him I told you last year. But he is a stranger to many men. That is why I tell a lot of Gods children around the world. When man is angry at you, you have someone to cry to but when God is angry who will you call?
4.0 WHO CALLS FOR THE OFFERING

Exo 25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. God is talking here, and He is talking to Moses. Offering is not a collection, it is God that calls for offering, it was not Moses who wanted it. He asks from his own people and from his people he asks from those who are willing to give. Exo 35:21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. Exo 35:22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD. Exo 35:23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them. Exo 35:24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD'S offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it. Exo 35:25 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen. Exo 35:26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
Exo 35:27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; Exo 35:28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. Exo 35:29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, WHOSE HEART MADE THEM WILLING to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
Did you see that? What a beautiful portion of the Bible.
1chronicles 29v1-9 This is at the end of King Davids reign. David was one King who crowned his own successor. He is getting ready to make his sone King, and remember his son was the one to build the temple. 1Ch 29:1 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God. 1Ch 29:2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance. 1Ch 29:3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, 1Ch 29:4 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal: 1Ch 29:5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? 1Ch 29:6 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly, 1Ch 29:7 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. 1Ch 29:8 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. 1Ch 29:9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, BECAUSE WITH PERFECT HEART THEY OFFERED WILLINGLY TO THE LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
5.0 HOW GOD CARRIES HIS WORK
Ezr 2:68 And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in his place: God carries out his work through his people Ezr 7:11 Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel. Ezr 7:12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time. Ezr 7:13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee. Ezr 7:14 Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand; Ezr 7:15 And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, Ezr 7:16 And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem: Ezr 7:17 That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. Ezr 7:18 And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God. Ezr 7:19 The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem. Ezr 7:20 And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow , bestow it out of the king's treasure house. Ezr 7:21 And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily, Ezr 7:22 Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much. Ezr 7:23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? This man was not an Israelite but understood offering and wanted favor from God of Isarael. He recognized God as God of heaven. Halleluyah This is remarkable. Tell me whether you like this.
6.0 WHAT IS GIVING?
Giving is a grace and God's people should be acquainted with it. A lot of God's people think that its a disruption but that's the devil blinding them. Giving should be limited to church offering. Learn to give beyond that. There are others services that need you to give. Let me you something. 2Ch 1:1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. 2Ch 1:2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. 2Ch 1:3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. 2Ch 1:4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 2Ch 1:5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it. 2Ch 1:6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. A lot of people when they become bigger, they make God smaller. They now have less time to serve God. The bigger you become the more attention you should give God. We are spending more than 1 million us dollars per month on media work. So during the PRC, I asked the brethren to contribute towards the program, it was amazing, within 5 minutes we managed to raise more than 11 million. We are now talking about global work. Oral Roberts, Terry Osborne, they are all gone, now the ball is in our court.
7.0 CASE STUDY: KING SOLOMON.

Solomon ascends the throne and offered a thousand burnt offerings. You can be taught the word, but until you connect with your seed the revelation will not stay permanent. God knew what costed Solomon to offer that sacrifice yet he didn't ask for anything. God had to ask him personal what he wanted. Listen one burnt offering was usually enough. Now look at what happened. 2Ch 1:7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 2Ch 1:8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. Solomon knew that he was not his father's first son, he had brothers who wanted to take the throne away and had supporters the same thing you know that you have several enemies and you don't know the power of your seed. Connect with your seed to God. The fact that you love your enemies it doesn't mean they will love u back. Love them and pray for them, then so your seed 2Ch 1:9 Now , O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 2Ch 1:10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this
people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? 2Ch 1:11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: 2Ch 1:12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. 2Ch 1:13 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel. God spoke the word and it was done, he is God. Solomon received wisdom by the command of God, God granted him and it was so. There was no need for God to open his heard because he is God. Did you like that? S
Lets move one, 2Ch 5:6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude. They sacrificed which could not be numbered, they had learned from the King. 2Ch 7:5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. Between chapter one and seven the man was so mightly blessed. The first time it was 1000 and then he has made some tremendous increase in his offerings to God. What is going on through your spirit.
Speak in Tongues, Pray in the Holy Ghosr. OFFERING Song: hallelua
8.0 CONCLUSION
Through this Conference, you will experience SUDDEN PROMOTION!
THERE'S NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD BECAUSE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Pack your bags and we are going to shout 3 halleluas!! Shouting hallelua hallelua hallelua!! Pastor Chris leaves the auditorium and Rev Tom calls for an alter call.

Pastor Chris enters the stage and starts singing and dancing. There is an atmosphere of Joy in the Arena. How many of you are born again? So what does it mean to you? Tell someone next to you what It means to you.
Pastor singing: I am a new creation, Im brand new man All things are passed away, Am born again More than a conqueror, thats who I am I am New creation, Im a brand new man.
Tell 3 people around you, thats its our year of favour.
1.2 BECOME A DOER

Hearing the word of God, is a great blessing, but until you do the word it will not make a difference to you. There are some who hear the word of God, and its just nice. But the fact that you have heard it, it does not mean you have done it. Until you do the word, it cannot have effect on you. in the old testament there told to obey, but not in the new. There's a difference between doing the word and obeying the word Doing the word: is living out the word (the word is a mirror....it shows you who you are and the life you should live.) you are the reproduction of the word and that's why it doesn't tell you to obey the word in the New Testament. The bible says you are the offspring of the word of God; born not of the corruptible seed, but of the incorruptible. And the bible says, we have Gods nature, as he is so are we. He even tells us that He is the vine and we are the branches, I think thats awesome.
The bible says we have his nature. He gave us His life. Then he tells us "I am the vine, ye are the branches" remarkable! Paul calls us "living epistles. He is the word made fresh and we are the word born anew. This will give you a new mentality. To us the scriptures come as our revelation, that we may know him. Where do you see yourself and who are you? Where do you come from? Hey you are looking too serious now, loosen up a bit. Until you do the word you will not understand its power and its glory.
James 1:22-25 Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Jas 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: Jas 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
It means that those who are hearers only are deceiving themselves. The word shows you the quality of your personality. We are a kind of first fruit. Remember they were asking each other what kind of man is this? that is us. If you know who you are there are just some things that you would not do and something's that you would do....because of who you are!
2.0 LIFE IS SPIRITUAL

Are spiritual things important to you? Life is spiritual! This material world is controlled from the realm of the spirit.....only ignorant men don't know it. The world is control from the realm of the spirit by good and bad forces....and we function in it this world by whom we yield ourselves to. Spiritual things control this world.
Only the fool says there is no God. Imagine you go to a village, and then all the villagers gather around your car since they have not seen or heard of one. So there are there arguing with you that the car just happened to appear, nobody made it. There is no manufacturer, so imagine they are arguing with you. Because some people believe that the world was made by the "BIG BANG." How can chaos do all this creation of a beautiful world with the balance? God is boss! You can command him to come out and show himself then I will believe you, he will not come out, he is boss.
2.2 GET SERIOUS ABOUT TITHING.

How can you say you're doing the word and keep eating your Tithe? Until and unless you Tithe, you are programming yourself for financial strangulation. The Tithing is Gods security system; it is not Gods way of maintaining his kingdom. Remember when Jesus had to give out his tax, he did not call for Judas who was keeping the money, he sent Peter to go and take out coins from a fish The tithing system is for the benefits of those called (the Christian). When you Tithe, you're doing it for yourself and for your future. God will always have people to do His work. So when you say, no I am not tithing, someone else will. Believing is of the Spirit not with your mind. Your heart believes and your mind reasons.
2.3 WE HAVE TO PREACH THIS OUT

Your mind is the doorway to your spirit. You cannot be saved until you believe You cannot believe until you hear You cannot hear until are willing
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! The bible says you must confess, dont run away from confessing. Look the bible says we shall be ashamed if we believe in Jesus Christ. The bible is saying anybody, whosoever calls upon his name shall be saved. Look at verse 15 again. Doing Gods word is so important. I know there are some things that we have the liberty to assume but that does not mean that is what God thinks so.
1Jn 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
It says let us not just love in word, it is easy to write a letter of love, it is easy to say I love you, but God wats us to do it. Believing in speaking in tongues and arguing in defense of speaking in tongues doesn't mean you're speaking in tongues.
You can say you love your wife, but now you are not in speaking terms. Is that love?
If you have any problem at home, the responsibility is primarily on the man to solve it. I understand this. You have to solve it; not solving it, and keeping malice with your wife is cruel and unacceptable. If your wife is not talking to you, you have to make her talk to you LOVINGLY .
Trying to win by subduing your wife is the biggest shame you bring to yourself in the presence of the angels. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Anything you do to
yourself...you do to yourself. So if you are blessing your wife, then you are blessing yourself. The bible says for the man to love his wife. No one should wait for the other to act Gods word before them. How can two people, believers living in the same house be quarrelling every day involving uncles every time? Do you think angels are clapping for you? If there are any amongst us who are having problems in their marriages, I am asking you to start the reconciliation process. If you have come to the point of separation, then I want to have the meeting with you, to let you know the implications of your thought, I will tell you what the bible says.
Why am I sharing this with you? If you do not do these simple things, you will miss a lot, even if I can prophesy to you. It doesnt matter even if you talk in tongues, but if you cannot love those next to you, then there is a problem.

We are very special to God. The Bible says we are the Temple of the living God but we have responsibilities as His temple. Matthew 23:16-21 Mat 23:16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! Mat 23:17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
If you understand how Jesus used the word, you will understand this. Every dollar/euro, everything that comes to you I s sanctified by you. The temple sanctifies the gold, you are the temple. Now when you tithe, you circumcise your money. Listen the world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, because the creation is waiting for you to free them. What we tough is blessed. If God has blessed you with a car, go and tithe in it. You might not tithe with the exact amount of the car, but how much you value it. Remember, Abrahams wife could not be touched; it was not just because Abraham loved God, love is not enough, Abraham was a tither, and everything of him was circumcised.
David had confident because he knew he was circumcised. The same thing with the first fruit, it is for your continuous expansion. Those who tithe with understanding don't lose....because they know the battle is the Lords Exo 23:19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy
God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. Did you see that? He knew that they would think that they should quicken up the process so that they should produce again, but God asked them not to do it. Because it is God who is your true supply

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Do you know there are people busy listening to unbelievers giving them counsel, how do you expect to be blessed. Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Psa 1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. Psa 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
The system of the ungodly might look attractive but it shall fail. In life you have people with a glowing spirit and others with a failing spirit. If you're doing the word you have a glowing spirit. What do you want to be like? To remain aglow you have to be in the word. Know the word first. Begin with your tithe. You don't give your tithe to the poor, even though you are asked to give to the poor but not your tithe. You give your tithe in the house just as the first fruit...Splitting your tithe and giving it in 2 places is carrying out the administration of your tithe. You can't give instructions on your tithe. In many churches it is very tempting if they start thinking ah my tithe is too big. I cant give to this church but the blessing came from there. Or maybe you dont understand what the church. So dont think of dividing you tithe to be giving in small bits. Do you know what God would do when you are doing that? Remember God told Samuel to find another man to be made king when Saul made his own instructions. When the Holy Spirit comes into your life, He comes in with noise and people begin to notice you but when He is angry He goes quietly. Make things easy for yourself by yielding to the Holy Spirit. Just do what God says.
6.0 CASE STUDY: JOB - THE RICHEST MAN IN THE EAST.
Job was the richest man in the entire east.
Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. Job 1:2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. Job 1:3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. KJV
Job 1:1 THERE WAS a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who [reverently] feared God and abstained from and shunned evil [because it was wrong]. Job 1:2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. Job 1:3 He possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and a very great body of servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the East . AMP
The bible says, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the East. So what kind of friends do you think Job had? Big shots right? I wanted to show you his mentality when he was in a bad condition later.
Job 30:1 BUT NOW they who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock. Can you see that? Who were his friends? They were Kings and godly men. Okay lets see his friends.
Job 2:11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.KJV Listen these 3 men were kings, and they knew God. They told Job beasutiful things, though they kept to tell Job that he must have sinned. Of course later on they blamed Job, but God did not want them to lame Job. Okay read what one of them said.
6.1 KING ELIPAZS PREACHING TO JOB
Job 22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Job 22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. Job 22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Job 22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. Job 22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. Job 22:26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. Job 22:27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. Job 22:29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
Halleluyah! Praise the Lord.
7.0 FELLOWSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
Until you are introduced to the Holy Spirit, your life will never take up the reason you were born. There is no greatness if you dont know the Holy Spirit, otherwise life will be meaningless. Until you know the Holy Spirit you will function in religion. Christianity is not a religion. It is not about doing the outward things that Christians do, and you think that that is Christianity there is more to Christianity. Only the Holy Spirit can lead to that place. Let me show you something
Exo 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Exo 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. Exo 23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. You will see this is no ordinary angel, this Is the Holy ghost, in the OT he was revealed as the Angel of the Lord. We keep calling him the Holy Spirit, but is his name. The Holy Spirit answers to the
name of Jesus. Failure will attend a man who doesn't know the Holy Spirit. There a lot of people who are struggling, you may have tried, maybe you work so much, but you see life is Spiritual. I know someone who can bring you in. Job said the spirit of God had made me. Hey do you know him? There are men whose lives are just at a standstill, even those helping them are tired.
Confession: i will always be a success...because i am in fellowship with the Holy Ghost one who knows all things.
Are you listening to him? Let me read you some scriptures
7.1 THE HOLY SPIRIT: THE BEST COMFORTER

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Listen to the words of the master. He is talking about a comforter here. he knew that there are times where no man can comfort you. You dont even know who to talk to.
Psa 69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
When Job was in his predicament, even when his friends came, there was a problem, lets see. Job 16:1 THEN JOB answered, Job 16:2 I have heard many such things; wearisome and miserable comforters are you all! You know they are times, they are all advising you the things you already know.
Jesus said I will send you another comforter....Gloryyyyy! THIS ONE WORKS.... The holy Spirit brings us the presence of the father, the presence of Jesus. If you know him, there is hope. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. Nothing that he cannot teach you. He will even bring to your remembrance
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
The Holy Ghost bears in my spirit that I am a child of God. He bears testimony through me. You don't need to struggle, all you need is fellowship.
Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: Isa 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
God knows where the money is? Gloryyyyy! No gate shall be successfully shut against me.
What words in your dialect/ language can you use to communicate with God...That's why when you get born again, He gives you a new language to be able to communicate with Him. This why I encourage you to talk in tongues. Some of the words people use there is full of bitterness. Christianity is no religion its a super natural life. You I started this journey while I was a very young person. But what I did, I wanted to have results. This is more than the wisdom of men. Life is spiritual. Jesus talked to fish, storms, blind eyes, lame limbs. Etc.
Halleluyah. And the bible says, as he is so are we. Thats why the bible says count it all joy when you are going through divers tests. A thousand shall fall on your side and ten thousand on your right hand. When you speak in tongues to speak off his words, you are realizing to angels the secrets of the Holy Ghost and instrusting them what to do. Most people are ignorant of Gods word, the knowledge from God. So they worry, Oh God why did you let this thing happen to me, God is saying, hy did you let this happen?
Confess: I refuse to fail.
Speak in tongues and change things. You will know what to do after speaking in tongues.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRAISE AND WORSHIP.
Praise the lord. Pastor prays a prayer of thanksgiving for the word God has made available for us, and the presence of the Holy Ghost. He prays that our spirits are open to receive more of Gods word.
Tell 3 people that this is my year of Favour.
2.0 HAVE THE RIGHT FRIENDS

It's very important to have the right friends, the right company; ones that would inspire you and motivate you around you. Remember I talked about Job yesterday, he was a great man. Remember godly men came to see him. What was beautiful ws the communication, even though they blamed him for his troubles and were trying to defend God Elihu: was the youngest of jobs friends. He was unhappy with them for not being to convict Job that he was wrong. Job agreed with them but the problem was that they did not know the real problem, they did not know what had caused the trouble. Sometimes you might be facing challenges in life but not necessarily that you have done something wrong.
Pastor Said: I wasn't too happy with Elihu and I will tell you why?
2.1 ELIHUS WORDS TO JOB

Job 33:1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. Job 33:2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. Job 33:3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 33:5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
Ah ah! This is that young man talking. Okay let me show you something else.
Job 34:7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? Job 34:8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
Look who is talking about now? Look at the way he is talking about Job.
Job 42:7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath. Job 42:8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant
Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job. Job 42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job. Job 42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42:11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. Job 42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. Job 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters
3.0 TITHING IS NOT OF THE LAW

When we talk about finance in the kingdom, we are dealing with stewardship Gods best is not for you to have financial miracle but for you to have a good financial life. Recap Last year: money seed - pastor wanted us to have a great financial life. Remember giving your tithe you are circumcising your money. You give it all not in bits, and you dont put instructions on it. There got to be a token of stewardship.
Gen 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Genesis to Malachi is called the Old Testament section of the book and then Matthew to Revelation is called the New Testament section of the book. When we talk about Old Testament, we are not talking about the book, we are referring to the covenant. Every major truth in the word of God, you Trace back to Genesis. Some people say Tithing is for the Old Testament folks. The Abrahamic covenant is not called old; its for the new creation. The Mosaic covenant is the old covenant. The bible says those who are called ante blessed with faithful Abraham. Tithe and the First fruit came before the old covenant. Tithing is not of the law; it was there before the law, the same as the first fruit.
4.0 DOING THINGS GODS WAY ALWAYS
PAYS.
When you do it in another way, you will be paying a heavey price. Lets look at an example 1Ch 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 1Ch 21:2 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. 1Ch 21:3 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel? 1Ch 21:4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
What David was about to do here was not something very nice, he was to number the men. So he didnt send the priests, but he sent the captain of the hosts. But Joab is asking why would the king bring a curse on Israel. God gave 3 options, he told him to choose one.
If you love God and you are humble and you love people, the Holy Spirit will guide you. There are many things you will do rightly that he will show you in the scriptures.
David was measuring his strength by his numbers but fail to do what God says to do. When you check your finances, you ought to give to God.
Exo 30:12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
(This was what David didn't do)
The reason for doing this is for your heart not to rest on uncertain riches. So when you check your strength give an offering. This is Phronesis (the wisdom of the just). Do not be dependent on the financial power, be dependent on the power of God. Never be tempted to depend on human ability.
5.0 STEWARDSHIP IN GODS RICHES

God wants administrators who understands; There is a difference between giving to God and giving for God.
God has appointed you as a steward of his riches; you know how to give for God. You are a administrator of Gods riches. Even when you make investments, you are using Gods money. This is not so because He owns the world but the money you are using is sanctified money. God is looking for men and women he can count on.
Rom 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. The rest of it belongs to God if it is sanctified. He will multiply the rest. God doesn't take over just because you're born again. He's committed to you as you are to Him.
We may never be able to explain why some people are in a situation but we can show how to come out of it. God can be depended upon. You can bet your life on Him. Man may value your seed and sacrifice but you see God is a judge. So how do you understand by seed and sacrifice.
Psa 126:1 A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Psa 126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. Psa 126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. Psa 126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. Psa 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Psa 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Husband and wife who have issues and takes it to people instead of sowing precious seed. Why can't the 2 of you agree together? It's PRIDE! Why are you messing up? Talking about your wife saying, dont mind her. The problem here is pride. We only fight people we know, and that's madness! It doesnt matter how many times you hold a bible. If a man kicks away his wife, he has himself to blame. Because I cant tell a lady to move into a house of a mad man. If you're violent or you seem like you might be violent then something is wrong
If you have issues with your wife, there's nothing wrong in going to plead with your wife to forgive you. Humble yourself to God. No man can easily love a woman that is disrespectful, and has a tongue like a serpent.
6.1 HUSBAND MEANS MASTER

To the woman humble yourself....husband means master. When you chose to get married, you chose to have a master. Husband is not your colleague. Little things like this can help. Before your problem is too far...both of you can talk. It's better for those that are quarrelling than those that are not even talking. At least those quarrelling are airing their views but try doing it with a lower voice though. Just make sure you resolve the issues at hand. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psa 127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
7.0 YOU ARE GODS ADMINISTRATOR

Are you still here? Okay, moving along. Giving to the poor is very important, but it is a different type of giving. I am not talking about giving exactly, but since you are Gods administrators, you have to understand these things. All God is looking for is faithfulness with what He has committed to our hands...then He can commit bigger things. What have you done with what God has committed to your trust? How have you managed with what you have been given. Is there anybody who is not wearing anything? Of course not, it means you have something. No one has nothing....it doesn't matter where you begin....where you are just do it well, manage it well. Some are just looking for one big break, but they failed to manage the other opportunities. Someone working in a company and messed up and says he wants to start his own...he is a joker!
7.1 GOD IS NOT A STUPID INVESTOR.

Luk 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
the least is unjust also in much. Luk 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? Luk 16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? Luk 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Mammon: the Syrian God of money "Mammona" If you carry financial transactions in Gods way then you are not favoring Mammona Every child of God should give his or her "first fruit" and then the "Tithe". Many child of God are not giving out of abundance but as an act of faith and as they give God increases them.
7.2 GIVING TO THE POOR IS NOT SOWING A SEED OR TITHING.

Giving to the poor is just part of what he tells us to do. It is not tithing or first fruit. Christians in America have been so responsible for so many around the world. But it is important to get to understand the spiritual law.
God can open doors for you: door lead to rooms God can open gates for you: gates lead to cities
Liberality can cause your soul to prosper but that's not enough....it's just one of the blessing and one of the expectations of God from you.
Deu 15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
Some people are poor just because they didn't hear the right thing and many will go to hell because they didn't hear the gospel.
Mar 14:1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. Mar 14:2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people. Mar 14:3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box,
and poured it on his head. Mar 14:4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? Mar 14:5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. Mar 14:6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. Mar 14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. Mar 14:8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Mar 14:9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Worship God above giving to the poor. Dont let God be the last, give him first.
7.3 LESSON FROM CAIN AND ABEL:

Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. Abel did it on time and gave his firstling to God and Cain delayed meaning he already started eating from it. Do not delay in giving to God.
Psa 20:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Psa 20:2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; Psa 20:3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
So many things happen in our world that many dont understand. Sometimes looks like too many are still in bondage to these satanic forces. Satan cannot force himself on you but if he has you, you cannot free yourself. As a born again, as Gods children Satan cannot touch you, your life. If Satan cannot touch you, he tries to touch things around you to frustrate you, because he cannot tough your life. But God;s desire is to perfect all that is around you.
8.0 UNDERSTANDING THE HOLY SPIRIT.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. But it is not a name but it is who he is, it is like calling you man. We are not giving any name for the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of God. We are given the name of Jesus to use. You are the spirit who has a soul and lives in a body Your spirit and your soul form the inward man and no man can see it but God. In the realm of the Spirit, God is a Spirit but he is so great beyond our imagination, thinking or beyond any image we make of Him. We can't fathom His greatness. This great God does all He does by His Spirit and can be everywhere and doesn't have to move. The one that does the working is called the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit can be in everyone in His totality. This Holy Spirit is the one who actually made us. He is that who proceeds from the father.
Walking with the Holy Spirit: Makes you wise Makes you successful in any and everything The Holy Spirit passionately loves us...that's why i tells you to speak in tongues It helps you activate your spirit. You become spirit conscious. You receive guidance, instructions from the Holy Spirit. One of the things we need to understand about the Holy Spirit is he makes giants out of little men. He makes you a success. The Holy Spirit knows and understands everything, so we can trust him.
8.1 THE HOLY SPIRIT.- THE MASTER ARCHITECT

Pro 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: Pro 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: Pro 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Pro 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; [you must read the book seven spirits of God by Pastor Chris]
He was there as one brought up with him: as the Architect and Master workman Check it in AMP
Pro 8:27 When He prepared the heavens, I [Wisdom] was there; when He drew a circle upon the face of the deep and stretched out the firmament over it, It was designed by the Holy Ghost. Those who went to space, they have seen how marvelous it is, but they are afraid to accept the truth that there is a God, because they know that if they accept, it is too dangerous, because that God must be too great. But I tell you, it is better to believe that there is God.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. The Holy Spirit needs you to work for you. The Holy Spirit does not have his own name nor does he have a body and that's why he needs us to be able to function. The Holy Spirit lives in your body, he has to move in you, when Jesus was here, he lived in Him. He cannot intercede except through you or somebody else. So when you are told to open your mouth and pray, you might never know what is to come, but HE does. People are having trouble every time, they need this Master Architect, and they need the Holy Spirit.
With the Holy Spirit you will never be disadvantaged. Speak in tongues now.
9.0 CONCLUSION
The reason we give our offering is not because we came to church. We are not like the rest, you
have to understand this. If you were not in a service, give your offering still when you come the church the next time. The reason we give offerings is not because we come to church. Your life in Christ is important. Act like a conscious Christian, one that does things consciously towards God. He has a consciousness that he is responsible to someone.
Proverbs 13:8 ...The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
A man cannot deliver himself. You cant depend on material goods for your life, yet he tells you that The ransom of a man's life are his riches. That's your sacrifice. What God has given to you is for your sake. If you're in trouble to come out of it....from one level of success to another.
9.1 CASE STUDY: MY MOTHERS SEED.

I remember I bought a car for my other some years ago, then later when we were discussing I asked her, where is that car, she was like, I used it for something. Then I was like what did you used it for. She had tears in her eyes. So one of my sisters told me she gave out that car as a seed so that one of my sisters should have a child. And the following year, my sister had a baby. After that she then told me, now I want a car, so I told her, Ah every time you look at that child you should see your car inside him, anyway I bought her a car again. But I hope you have seen what your seed can do.
9.2 USE WHAT GOD GAVE YOU : SEE WITH THE SPIRIT.
You have to see that miracle, you have to see that miracle. Getting ready to give our offerings...Pastor said he wants to help us aright. He asked us how many of us have seen someone wearing a red jacket
Your eyes can only see the things that are only existing. The one you used to see the one with the red jacket are the eyes of your soul: (imagination) You didnt see R.E.D. J.A.C.K.E..T. as in words, but you had an imaginative picture in your head. Those two eyes can only see the things that are existing. So what you used to see just now when I asked you about the Jacket were the eyes of the soul, which you used to pick up a picture that you saw someone some time back wearing a red jacket. And Your spirit has eyes and only sees what God wants them to see Use your imaginative power: you can see something that does not exist. if you see something you don't like....stop! Change it and see what you want you see. When you begin to see what you want to see, hold it...or you can write it down. Make up what you want to see, if you want you can write down what you are seeing. Everyday look at it.
If you do what I have just told you, it will take you where God always wants you to be. Prayer helps
our soul eyes to see Visions. Create and use your Rhema. Practice this.

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 WORSHIP AND PRAISE

The whole arena is worshipping and Praising God with a worship song led by Sister Sinach Singing: Lord I trust in you. Pastor Chris comes on stage, the whole arena is shouting with joy. Praise the lord Prayer by Pastor Chris Let us pray. Father, in the name of our lord Jesus Christ, thank you for your grace and for the Holy Spirit. Thank you for the word that you give us. We thank you for your presence. Now our hearts are open to receive your word. And the whole congregation says, AMEN We have been here on this since Wednesday. So who is coming for the first time? If you have not been here since the beginning, that would mean you have missed too much. You see we can't afford to go back and pick you up. If there is anything you cannot understand, just keep quiet and keep listening. Do you have your bible with you? Its really new days, in the old we used to raise our big bibles in the air. But now I see people are raising their phones and iPads. Anyway just raise them up and let's sing. Singing: I have a wonderful treasure.
2.0 POWER [FROM GOD] OF WEALTH

Deu 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. The bible did not say God gave you skills get wealth. As much as God gives you talents and skill but you see wealth is spiritual. There a lot of people that work hard every day but never get wealth and it does not come by skill or experience or where you were born. Here it says wealth comes from power from God.
Remember when Jesus told the fishermen to go and cast their nets. The man spoke and caused to catch multitude of fish. It was not a skill; it was the power of God. Even remember when he fed the multitudes. When he rose up the dead, it was no skill but power of God. It is God that gives you the power. Listen let's get back to the verse..that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day Means that Gods people having wealth, is proving the Abrahamic covenant. It is proof of the Abrahamic covenant when this verse is fulfilled. So it gives me a better perspective of who I really am. Gen 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: The Lord had said to Abraham [then Abram] to get out of his country. If you look at the New Testament, you will see that Abraham was looking for a city founded by God, operating by the very principles of God. So even though he was moving out physically but the main point was to have a new mentality; to get into a spiritual city. Thats where the blessings were for Abraham. Listen the bible says, we are the seed of Abraham. What does that mean for you? Gen 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Gen 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. Can you see, at what age did Abram depart from his home? 75 right. So how old are you? Imagine God asking you to start a new life at the age of 75. Would you believe him? You are never too old to receive a vision. Praise the LORD.
3.0 NATURAL SEED VS SPIRITUAL SEED.

A natural seed will have a circumcision of the body; the spiritual seed will have the circumcision of the heart, of the spirit. We are not that of the natural seed. God said, for the natural seed, everyone had to be circumcised to be numbered with the people; to become a member. Now for a spiritual seed for you to become a member you have to be born with the circumcision of the heart. Now you begin to live in the new family.
If you got born again, you went through circumcision of the heart and you have been given the Abrahamic blessing. You got it. You dont need to seek this blessing. You have the power to get wealth. The mentality of the dull seed is let me do something that I should please God to be blessed. While the star seed knows he is blessed and he is now operating in that blessing.
4.0 DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE.

Listen, in Christianity, we are not trying to get something. Dont try to be something, for whatever you want you already are. Did you discover you are more human as the days goes by? You never became more human; you already a human. The same with a Christian; you are a child of God, that's all, you don't become more of God's child. You are an heir to the promise; you ought to operate from that mentality. The problem is, a lot of God's children are ignorant. They just don't know. Don't be a victim and blame the circumstances. The day you discover, you will come out of it. Do you know the wealth which is available now is more than enough for all of us; If we divide it equally it would be enough. The problem is, men are controlled by the mentality of lack. Listen; there is no lack in the world, as long as you walk in the mentality of the Word. Let me pick the American dollar for example, did you know there are more 100 US dollar bills than they are 1 dollar bills? People are just having a poor mentality. They are always thinking, what I am going to be left with
5.0 THE LESSONS FROM THE STORY OF THE RICH YOUNG RULER.
Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Mat 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Why do you call me good, only God is. Its like when he asked the disciples, and when Peter answered Jesus said, no flesh and blood has revealed this to you. Now let's read up to verse 21 Jesus did not tempt this man at all. This man was thinking he was doing everything in the word of
God. Jesus knew that he was not doing it with faith.
Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. Mat 19:22 but when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Listen, this man was acquainted with the prophets, they sang davids psalms. So jesus didnt tell him something new.
5.1 GIVE TO THE POOR BUT NOT YOUR TITHE.

Pro_19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. Now lets look at Pro 28:27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. Always give to the poor, but don't give your tithe or first fruit to the poor. Put things in the right place. So if you observe, abundance is not by giving to the poor, there is something else.
5.1 YOUR MENTALITY MATTERS.

You see your mentality matters. Who are do you think you are. This young man became sad and ran away. He had a mentality of lack. How many times have you thought of how much you are giving God. Your offering should not just be that small change that you can squeeze in your pocket. Let me say something about my dad. When I was growing up, I never saw my father and mother quarreling. The day I thought I would see them quarrelling, I heard my mother talking angrily, but then my father did not respond he just stood there. Then he turned and walked away, and I was wondering how could he take that? Some minutes later, I found them sitting together in the living room. Listen, don't just be arguing, shouting. Somebody has to shut up, somebody has to be wise. Listen, if you grew up in that kind of environment, you will have the same mentality. When going to church, my dad had to be giving us offering when we were children. So we grew up in that way. We knew we had to be giving whenever we go to church. Some pastors are afraid of sharing thoughts about money because they dont want to be criticized. You will always be criticized for anything you do, so what do you do? Just tell the truth.
You must have a growing faith. Always work on outdoing your past. Push yourself, how much more can I do.
6.0 CASE STUDY: KING SOLOMON WHO LOVED GOD

1Ki 3:1 And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. 1Ki 3:2 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days. 1Ki 3:3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. Look at verse 3 again Did Solomon loved a lot of things? The bible says, Solomon loved the Lord, He loved God. Do you lve God. Listen, every time you demonstrate the love for God there is something that follows. 2Ch 1:15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance. 2Ch 9:20 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon. He made silver and gold to be in abundance like stones. Now God says you can do better than that, you can make Gold as dust. Hey how often do you find dust? That should be your mentality. We should have the mentality of supply not lack. Don't sit down after giving your offering and you say, I have given all, and when another offering comes you say, I have given everything, no don't limit yourself. Listen I left that mentality long time ago. I said, if I can travel without a visa, then I can travel without money. You see, money follows me where I am. You have to remove the limitation, especially when it comes to giving to God. If the devil tries to tempt you when you are giving, tell him that "devil, say it again and I will double it." You are the King's kid, you are the blessed. Can I show you some more? We are dealing with kingdom finance here right.
If you continue looking down the verses from that 1 Kings 3:3 you will see that Solomon went ahead to go and give to the Lord. You will see that the same night God visited him. But I know God is not that limited, He is able to do more. You see Solomon had the passion for God. He built the house for God. So when I was pondering on this, I started crying, I was saying, the house that Solomon built was destroyed, anyway God does not live in temples anymore. So I said, God I want to build you a spiritual house. We are the temple of the Holy Ghost now.
I remember when we were looking for a new venue, God told me anything you want is made available for you. Have the passion for God. Solomon loved the Lord, do you Love God.
7.0 DEMONSTRATING REPENTANCE

The first way to demonstrate your repentance, it is in your tithes and offerings. How do you prove to yourself that you have changed? Talking is not enough; you must act your faith. Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. You see this very interesting because this verse is very similar to Gen 1:1-2. Because one verse carries information of one part's history to another part. Look at the verse again; the messenger here is John the baptist. And then the bible is talking about the end time church, that is going to face the second coming of Jesus. We know it because he is talking about the day of Judgment here; for the first coming of Jesus was not judgment. Look at verse 3-7 Mal 3:3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Mal 3:4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. Mal 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow , and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Mal 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? So the people were wondering, how are we going to return to the Lord? Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a cursed. It doesn't mean God will begin to swear at you, but it means that there shall be obstacles hindering you. Mal 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Why is it that we are talking about this, and some Christians still don't tithe or give their offering?
8.0 THE SAME MEASURE

Remember Paul said something about sowing bountifully reaping bountifully. 2Co 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Luk 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Most people just stop at the word bosombut there is more. Listen, what's the size you are using to measure your rice? Maybe its that kind of a cup where you put candle wax to cheat the customers. Listen the same way, the thing you are using to measure that thing you are giving to God, the same will be used to measure for you. If you were using a spoon, the same will be measured to you. When we minister to you, I mean the Holy Ghost. How much we are able to bring is dependent on how much you are able to take. I remember a certain mother came to see me, with a 9 year old son, who was disturbing her in church as I was ministering. The kid kept on asking the mother, why is that man wearing the white clothes following pastor everywhere. The mother said, there is no one there its just pastor. But the kid insisted to say, mum, look at him, he is going wherever pastor is going." When Pastor Chris started praying, the son said to the mother again, mum, now the man is praying with Pastor. Listen that was an angel, you see, we have the Holy Ghost inside us, and we have angels at our service. That angel of blessing is here today. Amen. Now, when we are sharing these things, I know some are asking, is pastor saying everybody must be rich? Listen I want to remove that mentality. How do you know if somebody is rich or not? Is it by checking the way how is dressed? No. You are really rich, when you are rich towards God. Imagine if your house is where God lives. Angels meet in your house. You should take the time to observe the activities of angels. You have to encourage yourself in responding to God. If God is ministering to you about your offering, then go ahead and respond. Go ahead and Give it. Sometimes God makes you to do something, not because what you have, but what you don't have. He wants to channel it to you. It matters what your expectation is. Somebody shout GlooooRrryyyy!!!
9.0 THE ANOINTING IS GREATER THAN THE YOKE
Isa 10:27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. Listen, the yoke is an obstacle to progress. The anointing is stronger than the yoke. Let look at chapter 48 and see what the anointing would do. Isa 48:21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. Are you going to let the Holy Spirit lead you. If he tells you to give something, will you do it. On Thursday, I heard the Spirit telling me, I have to give a million dollars, so I said, I will give a million dollars. The following morning, a man came and gave me 1.2 million dollars. This is what happens to me. I have never spent that much money myself. In the last 2 weeks I have given 3 million dollars. But I am very happy Some would say, you gave it because you had it. Listen, I had it first before I knew myself. I only became aware. That is what am I doing to you now. Why do I GIVE? I give because I cannot affirm not to give. I don't want to have finacnial problems. I give because I don't want to be dependent on any situation. 2Co 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: V8 God is able to make all grace come towards you. KJV 2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be selfsufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].AMP Why is it that some people always have testimonies while others dont? It is in the application of these spiritual principles. If you lost your job, but you used to give big, but now you are failing because there is no more business. You were supposed to look beyond your business. It means you were letting your business limit you, it means you were giving because your business was working. Don't let something good happen to you; don't let something bad happen to you. You must be the one to make things happen. So your foundation should not be your business or your job, your supply ought to be God. That's the best foundation. Confession: I am being prepared. Nothing moves me. I am greater than my job. I am greater than my business or my house.
This is why some Christians are restless, they are afraid of losing their businesses, or their positions at work. You are bigger than your job. Let your foundation be God. Jer 17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. Jer 17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Did you see that, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man Did you hear that; Did you know human beings are the ones running that business/job? He shall not see when good cometh. It means he will begin to miss opportunities. He used to have people calling him giving him opportunities, but not any more. He used to have great ideas, but no more. Jer 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. Not trusting in the government, or the economy or the relationship with the managing director. Look at verse 8 Jer 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Some people say, because business went down. No, look at the bible here, it says, he shall not see when heat cometh. Listen you are not a child of God when things are on the right track. You are always a child of God, whether winter or summer season. Confession: My prosperity aint gonna end. My prosperity is eternal. Speak in other tongues and prophesy about your life.
10.0 ANNOUNCEMENTS
You all have to take Holy Communion service seriously. Every church must beam it live, if not then make sure you record it and play it in full when you have gathered. No one has the authority to alter it.
Every church is supposed to operate and report to a Zonal church, or belong to a virtual zone.
