Come Up Hither [Part 2] by Apostle Joshua Selman

Part 1: The Warfare Dimension of Kingdom Wealth by Apostle Joshua Selman

The teachings are designed to open us up to what we call the ways of God.

The keys we need to excel in life are finite.

The messages are designed to allow the Holy Spirit to invade our lives and produce dimensions of results in and through our lives that only God can produce.

It matters that we know God.

Don’t be near God, be connected to him. It is dangerous to be around, you will see everything but won’t partake of it.

God is not asking for proximity, he is asking for intimacy.

Revelations 4:1-4 KJV

The growth of a believer is based on spiritual illumination (access to the truths, the light that you can see much more than you can hear).

I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the lookout tower. I will watch to see what he will say to me and what I should reply about my complaint. Habakkuk 2:1 KJV

Your growth in the kingdom will take more than desire.

Ephesians 3:8-9 KJV

Transformation is difficult until you can see a reference.

When you see higher, then your life will become that

The major ministry of the Holy Spirit is Spiritual illumination.

Growth is engaged, it does not happen by default

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed at, and our hands have handled—concerning the Word of Life! 1 John 1:1 

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV

The danger of the traditions of men (Colossians 2:8 KJV, Matthew 15:2-9 KJV)

The resistance the bible calls the traditions of men.

Growth in the spirit that comes from God must also come with his nature of Humility and Love

The goal is to bring us out of imperfection and to bring us into a realm of maturity.

Traditions are Ordinances and Precepts.

The highest mystery is called the mystery of godliness

But I know God wants to bless you, but If you leave God because nothing is happening, you were not taught well. Romans 8:35 KJV

A man’s life does not constitute in the abundance of things

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come. Romans 8:38 KJV

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. Ephesians 3:8 KJV

True wealth is measured in the abundance of your knowledge of Christ

Jesus is the one who gives value to everything in your life.

Where is Jesus’ place in your heart?

With or Without Prosperity, I am still wealthy and I am still great.

More Than Gold by Judikay

Wealth has to do with the application of the principles of value and productivity.

Wealth is not the seed for salvation the conviction power of the spirit is.

It is the goodness of God that brings men to repentance.

In coming up hither, your greatest value is Christ 

The real value of a believer is the wealth of Jesus.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21 KJV

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. Ecclesiastes 1:2 KJV

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. Psalm 20:7.

Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Psalm 60:11

1. Do not measure greatness in this kingdom just by things acquired, it should be the last of the indices to measure greatness. Greatness is the wealth of Christ.
2. The opportunity to provide transformation in lives.

You are poor unless your money brings someone to Jesus

You are ignorant except your education provides a platform for someone to know the Lord.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. John 1:6-7 KJV

The real value of anything in your life is how it contributes to glorifying the name of Jesus and then advancing the course or making for the betterment of people’s lives.

When you come up hither, Jesus also comes up hither in your life.

The secret to getting things is to be attached to God, the more you are detached to things they will follow you

Reflect Jesus and be at peace, Reflect Jesus and enter your sabbath
