The bridge between prophecy and light is understanding. Ephesians 4:18 KJV.
Proverbs 22:2 KJV – God made men and men grafted to rich and poor.
Proverbs 22:7 (KJV)
The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is a servant to the lender.
Ignorance will keep you poor; poverty will make you a slave.
You cannot excel in an economically driven world if you are ignorant; the rich continent will always rule over the poor continent.
There’s a relationship between being Wealthy (Prosperous) and Dominion (Proverbs 22:7).
Psalm 35:27 KJV
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in
Genesis 17:6 (KJV)
And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich
Ecclesiastes 9:13-16 KJV
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man. Then I said: “Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless, the poor man’s wisdom is despised, And his words are not heard
Why God Blesses Us In The Kingdom:
1). He desires for us to live a comfortable life. (You)
Economically speaking, there are four realms of living:
1). Survival – a realm of poverty, lack, and insufficiency.
2). Comfort – a realm where your needs are met without options.
3). Luxury – a realm of surplus and abundance.
4). Extravagance – a realm of lack of restraint in spending financial resources.
The first and last realms are both extremities and are dangerous.
2). To provide financial resources for kingdom advancement. (The Church)
Giving should not be by manipulation or coercion but by the love and devotion for Jesus and kingdom activities.
God desires that as He blesses and increases us, we should love His work so much and be active contributors to the work.
3). To reveal the love and compassion of Jesus to a dying world in a practical and definite way. (The World)
Money in itself does not give you satisfaction. The satisfaction comes in knowing that you used the money to live a comfortable life, promote the advancement of God’s Kingdom, and show the world the love of Jesus.
From a standpoint of assignment, money in a man’s life does two things.
1). Time redemption: Money is a mechanism that helps us redeem time. When you lose time, everything that comes through time is also lost. Isaiah 38 KJV.
2). Efficiency: Money is a mechanism for efficiency.
Efficiency is important because you need it to keep your body alive and strong so that you can fulfill God’s purposes for your life. It enhances and assists your motives and decisions.
Three foundational truths about wealth and the blessing of God:
I). All blessings come from God and belong to Him (James 1:17).
There are 5 Levels of Prosperity:
1). Spiritual prosperity.
Being saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, learning the ways of God, and loving Jesus.
2). Mental prosperity
This is the extent of your mental development and transformation. Psalm 78:41 KJV
3). Bodily prosperity
This has to do with your health and well-being.
4). Financial Prosperity
It is the ability to totally conquer poverty, lack, and the effects that come with them.
The word PROSPERITY is not limited to the availability of money. It means to do well; to advance and make progress.
5). Relational prosperity
This means strategic destiny relationships that gives you the opportunity to express love and live a meaningful and productive life.
In this kingdom, you qualify to be called prosperous when you achieve all five levels.
Do not ignore strategic relationships in the pursuit of money; Your relationship with Jesus, your family, and useful people around you.
At the end of your life, it is your relationship with Jesus that will take you to heaven.
Relationships are powerful; Everything money can buy, relationships can also buy.
Three foundational truths about wealth and the blessing of God:
I). All blessings come from God and belong to Him (James 1:17).
In this Kingdom, owners are rebels. We are only stewards of all that we have been given by God.
There is a burden that comes with ownership; you must maintain the well-being of anything you own. When God is acknowledged as the owner, He oversees the sustenance.
II). All blessings come from God, through men, to men.
All blessings come from God through men, to men. All troubles come from Satan through men, to men.
In this Kingdom, who hates you does not matter, but who likes you. Luke 6:38 KJV
III). Wealth and abundance in this kingdom is not an achievement; it is a trust from God (Deuteronomy 8:17-18).
There is a burden that comes with ownership. For anything you own, you must maintain the well-being of it, but when God is acknowledged as the owner, He oversees the sustenance. We are only stewards of all that God has given us and all He requires from us is faithfulness.
The subject of Wealth has been a very touchy subject because of two schools of thought, including:
1). There are those who completely ignore the message of economic empowerment in the body, in a bid to emphasize holiness and righteousness.
2). The other side of the pendulum are men and women that approach wealth like that’s the only thing Jesus taught, inducing lusts, carnality, and a love for mammon.
Both schools of thought are destructive.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV, Psalm 127:1-2 KJV, 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 KJV
The economic system in this Kingdom is based on laws. There are spiritual laws of wealth and abundance and physical laws of wealth and abundance.
Together, they both constitute the kingdom laws that make for wealth and abundance.
The dimension of love for money critiqued (1 Timothy 6:10) is ‘eros’ which means an unGodly, unhealthy affinity, where anything can be done to attain one’s desire with no intention for Kingdom Advancement.
There are both spiritual and physical laws of wealth and abundance.
Spiritual Laws to Wealth and Abundance Psalm 112:1-3 KJV:
The first spiritual law of wealth and abundance is the “Law of Absolute Surrender”.
1). The Law of Absolute Surrender (Job 22:21-26; Proverbs 23:26).
The heart of a man is dangerous. Until God vets your heart, you’re not ready to do business with Him.
2 Corinthians 8:5 KJV
If God does not have your heart, you are not ready to prosper God’s way.
Anything that makes your knees too far away from God is very dangerous for you.
Train yourself to never be ashamed of surrendering everything to the Lord.
When your heart belongs to him, he can now trust you with anything and not be afraid.
2). The Law of Tithing (Leviticus 27:30).
Tithing is the law that makes for open heavens. The purity of your heart is the tray that carries your tithe.
Be a faithful tither. Do not stop tithing. It is the law of open heavens. Malachi 3:8-12 KJV.
Three platforms that qualifies to be called a storehouse:
- Your place of primary spiritual nourishment.
- Any ministry that is committed to the salvation of souls and the transformation (equipping) of lives.
- An individual, a minister who is committed to the salvation of souls and the transformation (equipping) of lives.
7 Prophetic Blessings for a Tither
- He will open the windows of heaven
- He will pour out a blessing that you will not have room enough for it
- I will rebuke the devourer that wants to bring waste to your life
- He will not destroy the fruits of your ground (anywhere you plant)
- Neither shall your vine cast her fruit
- All nations shall call you blessed
- You shall be called a delightsome land
3). The Law of Giving (Seed time and Harvest Luke 6:38 KJV, Genesis 8:22 KJV).
The law of the economy runs on the principle of seed time and harvest spiritually speaking.
Seed and its corresponding harvest:
- Honor is the seed for the harvest called access
- Good understanding is the seed for the harvest called favor
- Diligence is the seed for what we call lifting
- Knowledge and understanding are the keys for enlightenment.
2 Corinthians 9:6-8 KJV.
In the kingdom, one of the ways you sow is by giving, and one of the ways you reap is by receiving.
There are Different Types of Giving:
- The Worship offering (out of revelation as proof of your love for God). Deuteronomy 16:16 KJV
- Kingdom Investment (One of the major giving platforms that fulfill the law of wealth and abundance) Haggai 1:2-6 KJV.
- Seed Faith. Connecting your faith through a seed for a desired expectation. The principle of restoration.
- Prophet Offering. Don’t go and meet a man of God empty-handed.
- Sowing to parents both physically and spiritually. Ephesians 6:2-3 KJV
- The principal of first fruits.
- Sacrifices
- Vows
Three that are directly responsible for the lifting of men through scriptural and revelation:
- Kingdom Investment. Being an active participant in the work of the kingdom
- Prophet Offering. If done with revelation and understanding.
- Seed Faith. Connecting your faith through a seed for a desired expectation. The principle of restoration.
Three (3) return channels that come to you on account of activating the spiritual laws of wealth and abundance (Psalm 44:3):
1). Favour with God and Men Esther 2:15b; 17 KJV, Exodus 3:21 KJV
What did God hide in Men?
- Opportunities
- Anointings
- Track records
2). Wisdom (Divine direction and strategies) Job 29:1-4 KJV
3). The Blessing (The force of attraction that brings people, resources, and opportunities). The dimension of the Holy Spirit that rests upon a believer.
The spiritual laws of wealth and abundance are responsible for the arrival of financial resources in your life.
The physical laws of wealth and abundance are responsible for the management and the multiplication of financial resources.
God knows how to lift you, yours is just to trust him and to obey.
Pray Lord, now that I know that all blessings come from You through men to men, I ask that You move these men to my life.
Pray: Lord, give me the grace to do all that I have heard today and all that you have instructed me to do!
