Supernatural Prosperity is Real

What is Poverty? It could be defficiences of necessities or state or condition of having little or no money to support your plans or dreams.
According to Deuteronomy 28 v38-51, poverty is a curse and in Proverbs 10 v15 says poverty is a destroyer of destiny.

1 Kings 17 v8-16 will be used to explain how we can enjoy supernatural prosperity. There are four (4) advantages from supernatural prosperity
1. it produces endless supplies 1 Kings 17 v16
2. it is not dependent on the environment 1 Kings 17 v14
3. It is generational Psalm 13 v22
4. It never brings sorrow Proverbs 10 v22 and also adds protection Numbers 23 v20 Psalm 23 v4.

The Master Key to supernatural prosperity is COMPLETE OBEDIENCE.

The sHven practical principles to obey are:
1. have NEW BIRTH galatians 3 v13-14
2. Find and stay in the right Church jeremiah 3 v15-16
3. Tithing Malachi 3 v8-10, Genesis 14 v18-

The devil will come with some of the lies below to destroy your link to supernatural prosperity. I should not believe them.
1. I do not have enough money 2 Corinthians 8 v1-5
2. The Church wants my money Psalm 50 v10-13, Philipians 4 v16-17
3. My previous giving were not appreciated Hebrews 11 v4
4. My little contributions will not make a difference Hebrews 11 v4
5. I'm giving too much 2 Corinthians 9 v6
6. I have had no harvest from previous giving galatians 6 v7-9

I am a financial wonder!!!

Mindset of a Financial Wonder

Riches start from the mind. Proverbs 23 v7,9. When riches are evident people will associate and listen to you.

Some steps to destroy mindset/barrier of poverty

1. Take personal responsibility: According to Proverbs 9 v 12, whether you are wise or foolish it is for yourself.

2. Acquire knowledge: In Ecclesiates 10 v10, wisdom brings success and verse 15 states that there is need to have marketable skills.

3. Understand that God is God: In Genesis 1 v2, God owns everything because he created every thing. In the comtemporary world, land is the greatest physical asset and Genesis 1 v9 says God owns all the land.

An understanding that God is God will destroy all mindsets holding you down because you will learn to trust and believe Him for all your needs.Psalms 50 v12 and Genesis 14 v18-23 are confirmations that God is God.

Note: In relating to people, do so based on what they know and not what they can give you. For example, Solomon asked God for wisdom and not wealth but got others things as well.

Books to read: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The Jewish Phenomenon.

Foundations for Wonders: Are you a Wonder?

Isaiah 8 v18 reads " Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Isaiah 8:18 (KJV)" This is reinforced by 1 Peter 2 v9 that says i am a royal priesthood, a chosen generation etc. I am unique.

God's plan is to use my uniqueness to draw attention to the gospel. Zechariah 8 v20-23. I can only be unique if I have a unique experience with God. Isaiah 60 v8. this unique experience requires me to have the NEW BIRTH EXPERIENCE (Born Again) as recorded in John 1 v11-13 and John 3 v1-10.

The root source of Wonders is the NEW BIRTH EXPERIENCE John 3 v6-8. At new birth you experience the following seven (7) things :
1. Enlarged capacity to love Romans 5 v5
2. Hope Colossians 1 v27; Romans 4 v17-20
3. Ability to have spiritual understanding 1 Corinthians 2 v13-14
4. Access to heavenly resources
7. A different class of people John 3 v6-8, 2 peter 1 v3-4

To be a Wonder requires having the NEW BIRTH EXPERIENCE.

BOLD ACTIONS - Developing your capacity to Excel

As a conclusion to the topic "Developing your capacity to Excel" there is a need to take bold steps. Taking action is very important after building up the spirit and having balanced knowledge.

Being bold comes from inside and is displayed on the outside. Boldness is built on knowledge. Taking action based on external information is pride that will lead to destruction.

To excel, bold action must be in words (saying), love (giving) and action (doing). All these must be done for results to show. Acts 14 v1-3 supports this. The word of God was preached boldly even when people were against it and wonders still occurred.

The need to be Balanced: Principles of Faith

In the last write-up, the need to have balanced knowledge (spiritual and skill) was emphasized. In reality, however the man with only spiritual knowledge becomes frustrated at the success of the skillfully man and decides to emulate him (i.e. he drops the Bible and concentrates on skill only).

This situation is not right. The two (skill and spirituality) must go together. In Mark 4 v35 - 41, when Jesus and the disciples were crossing to the other side in a boat. The disciples rowed in a boat using their skill (some were fishermen), but when the storm came they needed more than their skill to reach the other side. They called to Jesus, he rebuked the wind and asked about their FAITH.

Faith in God is very important in order to maintain the balance. Some of the reasons to have faith in addition to skill is
1. Faith takes you further than your skill
2. Faith takes you faster than your skill 1 Kings 18 v46
3. Faith makes you have better results
4. Faith protects your results

God does not need anything. Acts 17 v25
3.

Value of Balanced Knowledge

Having knowledge is good. However the knowledge has to be a mix of physical and spiritual knowledge to ensure success in this world.

As recorded in Matthew 7 v24-27, but the wise and foolish man built houses. The base on which the house was built was different- rock and sand. A foolish man can be a spiritual person who does not have skills or a knowledgeable person who has no spirituality (God). The two types of foolish men will end up in destruction at ONE attack of the evil ones. However, the wise man builds on his knowledge but depends on God for his sustenance and protection.

The wise man has two sides to his personality. He is a Christian and also an achiever in his field of knowledge. Knowledge of God alone will not ensure success neither will skills and knowledge alone. Balancing the knowledge of God and a skill or knowledge will ensure STEPping UP in life.

Revelation; God can never be explained, He can only reveal himself. Parts of my life should be explainable(e.g. due to skills, connections, etc) but some parts should not be explainable because God lives in me.

Moses had Egyptian education (Acts 7 v22) and used it to lead the people out of Egypt in terms of logistics, arrangement, etc. However, he still needed the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire at night to move to the promised land(Exodus 18 v11).

The third step to building your capacity is Bold Actions. This will be presented at another time.

Walking in the fullness of God

I am created in God's image and likeness. genesis 1 v26.

Being good is the foundation of walking in the fullness of God. Acts 10; 1 Kings 17 v7, Ephesians 2 v10.

To walk in the fullness of God, we follow an example- Jesus Christ - who demonstrated it and recorded in the Bible. there are four requirements

1. Prayer Zechariah 12 v10 and fasting Psalm 63 v1-2

2. Open Heavens Psalm 119; genesis 28 v17; Leviticus 26 v19, Ezekiel 1 v1

3. Spirit of God will come down Luke 24 v49; Ezekiel 37; Acts 11 v19; Luke 1 v35

4. Hear the voice of God John 10

Doing this things in sequence will lead to breakthroughs and a steeping up in the year 2010. It will also allow me to begin to know what is written about me.

Step Up -2

A review of Daniel. Daniel 6 v1-3

To step up I need to grow. Galatians 4 v1-3.

Steps to growing up.
1. Building up my spirit Jude 1 v20; Jeremiah 3 v15

2. Have balanced knowledge Acts 20 v32; 1 Samuel 16 v18. Balanced means growing in spiritual understanding and knowledge of a specific discipline.To be balanced, I need to
a. recognize the dangers and cost of ignorance Hosea 4 v6; Isaiah 5 v13
b. refuse to be satisfied with my present level of knowledge I Corinthians 8 v2
c. run away from people that are passive about growth psalm 1 v1-3; 1 Corinthians 15 v33
d. relate with people that know more than you Proverbs 13 v20; Hebrews 7 v7
e. register to take a course Daniel 1 v5; Esther 2 v12
f. read, read, read 1 Timothy 4 v13; Daniel 9 v2
g. release your potential. learn under a mentor 1 Corinthians 4 v17

Motive for Wealth

Why do you want to be wealthy? read 1 Timothy 6 v10

The two principal reasons you should be wealthy are

1. Kingdom expansion: Luke 7 v1-6; Acts 16 v9-15. Use your resources to propagate God's word and support his work

2. Demonstrating compassion to people: Matthew 25 v34-46; Galatians 6 v10. Use your wealth to help people.

When you master money/wealth, you will be more blessed. 1 Timothy 6 v17-19; Matthew 6 v24; Acts 4 v34-35.

Developing your Capacity to Excel - Step Up

God wants me to excel - Deuteronomy 28 v13; Matthew 5 v14; john 15 v8, 16.

A review of the life of Joseph was done using Genesis 41 v37-44. I need to develop myself as John the Baptist did in Luke 1 v80.

God made room for me but I must fill it. Jesus developed his capacity as recorded in Luke 2 v40, 52 and Galatians 4 v1-3.

How do I develop my capacity?
1. Build up my spirit: Jude 1 v20. Is my spirit still alive? Ephesians 2 v4-9; Acts 2v47. How do I build my spirit?
a. Be planted in a Bible-believing church psalm 92 v12-15
b. Be regular in Church fellowhip Psalm 84 v7; Hebrews 10 v25
c. Be committed to kingdom service Exodus 23 v25-27; Ephesians 4 v15-16
d. Do personal study of the Word of God Acys 20 v32; 2 Timothy 2 v15
e. Pray in the spirit ICorinthians 14 v2, Jude 1 v20

Entering into your wealthy place. Psalm 66 v12

This two Sunday message is presented as one post here for completeness.

The message focused on the foundation of wealth. Deuteronomy 8 v6-10 describes a wealthy place. It is a place of abundance, more than enough, overflow and dominion & dignity.

Is for every Christian? I know it is for me. YES, everyone can have wealth as recorded in 2 Corinthians 8 v9; Exodus 11 v3 and Psalm 105 v37.

To be wealthy requires being in the right position to receive. John 10 v10 staes how to be rightly positioned.

Having the right foundation is important for entering into the wealthy place. Psalm 11 v3 describes 3 things needed: Mindset, Motive and Mastery.

two types of mindset come to play in regards to wealth: Owner or trustee. The owner believes the money is his/her own as shown in Luke 12 v16-21 and 1 Timothy 6 v7. This type of mindset leads to destruction. The trustee mindset believes God owns all things and uses us to distribute his wealth to others. David had a trustee mentality and was able to provide resources for the temple after knowing he would not build the temple as recorded in 1 Chronicles 29 v10-16.

It is important to know why you want to be wealthy. Money is not bad but the love of it leads to evil as stated in 1 Timothy 6 v10. Two important reasons to be wealthy are (1) Kingdom expansion: Luke 7 v1-6 and Acts 16 v9-15. Investments in God's work require funding. Give and God will forget your labour. (2) Demonstrating compassion to people: Matthew 25 v34 -46; Galatians 6 v10. We should give to the less privileged in society and those we can help. God will use it to remember us in the day when we cannot pray Psalm 20.

Money is a good servant but a poor master. We should learn to be master over wealth and not the other way round. 1 Timothy 6 v17-19; Matthew 6 v24 and Acts 4 v34-35.

The Blessings of God

Pastor Tope of House of Praise (RCCG) used Deuteronomy 8 v7-14 and mark 8 v35-41 to illustrate the need to trust God and act on his promises. It may seem that God who has called on us to go to the other side will leave us to destruction. However, in that situation or circumstances Jesus is with us and all he has to do is speak the word and all will be well.

When we start a journey with God, He knows the end. It is the process that we take to get there that may cause anxiety or fear. To overcome this feelings, we need (1) to have Jesus; (2) Speak the word of God to the situation; (3) Act with faith concerning the word of God to the situation; and (4) thank God for what he has done while waiting for the manifestation of his promise.

There shall be no loss

The message from Acts 27 v16 - focused on the pain and tribulations we go through in life. God's word to us in all our varied circumstances is that there shall be no loss. GOD assured Paul in the storm that none of their life's' will be lost even though the ship will be wrecked.

We may have goals that propel us forward in life. Our progress may be slow and difficult but with God we will experience no loss.

The African's progress is slow and difficult because there is a lack of trust that makes cooperation almost impossible to achieve. The church needs to break this trend if there will be progress.

Victory

Bishop George Bloomer used his personal life story to illustrate the power of GOD and motivate us towards acting on our beliefs.

He used Haggai 1 v5 to prophesy that GOD wants us to "consider our ways" and do the work ("gather wood & build") required for success. He also said the people will serve me and not me serving them. I will be debt free in Jesus name.

I bought his book titled "Witchcraft in the Pews." He autographed the book for me and called me smart man for buying the last copy of the book. He came with other materials developed and produced by him. He especially has a Bible with God's word written in red in the old testament. the Bible's focus is on warfare against powers, principalities, wickedness in high places and authorities.

Success is not Cheap

It was an inspiring and empowering message from Romans 12 v2.

God does not take from us but adds to us. By his power, I must have confidence and dominion over my environment (finance, wealth, work, etc). God wants me to succeed so that I will promote his glory and power. GOD is not intimidated by my success.

I need to be determined to succeed.

Genesis 12 v1-3, 13 v14-16, 18 and 15 v1-6.

Read Jeremiah 6 v16.
The history of a place is important for success. Canada (from Kanata meaning "village") is based on discovery and made up of people who came in search of wealth - some found, most did not. Ontario means "sparkling waters" in local language. History shows that the co-existence of the French and English was based on survival and independence from America. Blacks fleeing from slavery found solace in Canada. the land has a lot of resources but the weather makes it difficult. Determination is a major requirement towards success in the country.

Till up your fallow ground

This was the title of the 2009 Adult harvest at All Souls Church Bodija, Ibadan by Ven. Olayinka the Vicar. I was privileged to be present and did the thanksgiving with the AYF. I caught up with lots of people e.g. Adedeji's, Mbuba and Fabode.

From the book of Isaiah, the vicar enjoyed us to examine and develop our unused talent and resources. We will need to do the work on the fallow ground and not God. It is after the work that harvest will come. The harvest might be now or in the future. The type of tilling (work) we do now will determine the quality and quantity of the harvest when it comes.

He gave about seven examples in the Bible of where work was done before harvest e.g. death of Christ (work) before salvation (harvest) could come into the world.

Weak Mindset

God gives oranges but expects us to produce the orange juice. It is the person who refines a product that will always be the head (master).Countries who grow the oranges pay more for the extracted orange juice e.g. Nigeria spent 1billion naira in 2007-2008 on importing orange juice according to the minister of agriculture.

Weak Mindset - takes NO for an answer when a YES is possible. Matthew 15 v28 gives the story of the woman whose daughter was vexed with the devil- her request was turned down but she persisted and later got what she wanted.

To succeed, I must be strong minded and decisive. I should not be scared of criticism or what people will say. My decisions should not be based on present circumstances or public opinions.

The consumer mentality believes that individuals are obligated to help them e.g. my uncle should help me and the church should do this for me. In trying to relate with people, consumer mentality people find people running from them as recorded in Proverbs 19 v6-7.

Rising above Average - Destroying negative Mentalities

Ecclesiastes 7 v19 - the way to the top is by getting wisdom so that one has strength.
Prophecy - Isaiah 45 v14.

People with victim mentality
1. believe in luck - do not recognize the need to prepare for success
2. believe that God is erratic Psalm 13 v3 - he does whatever he likes and is not consistent.

Consumer Mentality: People with this kind of mentality only want to receive but not give. they are ignorant of the laws of exchange. You need to add value before you are recognized or promoted. Such people base their life on what they have or do not have. They are happy to receive but find it difficult to give.

Mastering your life

This is a 40-page book by Mensa Otabil.

In the book, according to Proverbs 25 v2-4, he informs readers that not all things are known because God made it that way. It is our duty to search out what is hidden. When we uncover what is hidden we can rule in life and understand why things happened the way they happened. He encourages Christians to search for knowledge so as to uncover what is hidden.

Things that we do not understand, we mystify or build rituals around thereby limiting our imagination. We are to break such limiting thoughts by uncovering such hidden practices for motives and understanding. It is what we understand that we can practice and use to become great.

In my personal life I should ask and find out why i do certain things so as to gain understanding for excellence.

Dealing with Destructive Mindset

The mind is very important. If the mind is non-functional no appreciable growth or promotion can be achieved. Proverbs 23 v7 and Romans 12 v2.

As Christians our battles in life are fought in the mind (2 Cor 10 v3-5) and in the spirit.

There are 12 limiting mindsets. The first is Victim Mentality as experienced by the children of Israel in Numbers 14 v1-3. Symptoms include

- blaming others for our failures Proverbs 9 v12
- reacting fiercely when corrected
- focusing on the past and ignoring the future
- Proverbs 24 v14
- building on personality and not principles Matthew 7
- intimidated by people of other race Numbers 13
- fighting with their source of help
