The spirit and Mindset of Poverty by Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

0:00
There is a mindset. How does this mindset work?
0:04
It's a self sabotaging belief. I'll give you a few of these
0:08
mindsets one day go. Better put a big X on it.
0:13
Time does not change anything. Decisions.
0:16
Time only reveals decisions. Decisions.
0:20
Sponsor changes Are we? Together, money is the root of
0:25
all evil. The Bible never said that.
0:27
It says the love of money is the root of all evil.
0:30
You know what that means? That most evil in the world are
0:33
motivated by that foundation of lost errors and unholy affinity
0:39
for money. Hallelujah.
0:45
The Bible says to not trust in on such an riches but it never
0:49
says to have them. There's a man in the Bible
0:51
called a rich fool. The first time 2 words that
0:54
should not be used were used on one person because foolishness
0:57
does not produce wealth. Wealth is a product of wisdom.
1:00
But this man was a rich fool and his foolishness was because he
1:04
trusted himself. There was no purpose connected
1:07
to it. He said my soul find rest and
1:10
God said tonight your soul is #3 There are the actions and
1:20
activities that manifest poverty.
1:22
Do not forget, I'm showing you the tripartite expression of
1:25
poverty. One, the spirit of poverty.
1:28
I've shown you how it works. #2 the mindset of poverty.
1:32
It programs you so that you keep making self sabotaging
1:37
decisions. Let me repeat that again.
1:39
It programs you so that you make self-destructive decisions,
1:45
spending all you have. Poor mindset.
1:49
Lying to live a false life so social media can say who's
1:53
working for you. Poor mindset.
1:55
Falsehood is expensive. Authenticities by far cheaper
2:01
than falsehood. Why fake?
2:03
What can be real? There are people today who go to
2:07
Europe, they rent Rolls Royces, rent Rolexes in stores and stand
2:14
behind aircraft and say, look at Jehovah Jireh.
2:19
That's not the kind of message I'm preaching.
2:23
And put pressure on themselves. And as soon as they're done, get
2:27
in trouble. Because if I see you coming down
2:31
from a private jet and I say help me with 10,000 and you say
2:35
I don't have, it means you're a liar.
2:37
There are people sitting in business class.
2:40
I'm sorry to say this, not to insult you.
2:42
You can't sit in business class with a research card of 100
2:45
naira. You are not there.
2:47
When you grow, everything around you grows to defend where you
2:51
have come. I told you that success is not
2:54
what you pursue. Success is who you become by
2:57
reason. I mean what you attract by
3:00
reason of who you become. The greatest way to be wealthy
3:03
is to grow. Our world is full of very fake
3:09
people. There are people staying in the
3:10
House of 10 million naira. They are owing 3 years rent.
3:14
But the ego to get out and take. I'm showing you how limiting
3:18
beliefs they are not under attack.
3:20
Even if they fall down and stand up, that decision will keep them
3:23
there. There are students who are
3:26
living like like consultants, more expensive than their
3:29
lecturer, carries the father's car and is riding around and
3:35
people say you are a strong man. How about ladies?
3:41
With all due respect, there are ladies wearing their rent.
3:46
Yes, Sir, I'm not insulting you if you are not there, be proud
3:51
of where you are. Listen, let me teach you
3:53
something. A fake life is expensive, get
3:57
away from it. And can I tell you this?
4:01
Don't let the people who are now accomplished bully you.
4:04
If someone has done well and is laughing at you, tell him.
4:07
Don't worry, every new version is an improvement of the old
4:11
one. Gentlemen, if all you have is
4:17
the ability to trek, trek with honor while listening to what
4:20
I'm teaching you and I will tell you, I can predict how long else
4:25
you will be trekking. Mindsets.
4:39
There are people who come to look for capital.
4:42
They are wearing a designer shoe, wearing a designer jacket,
4:47
a designer watch, a designer, everything.
4:49
And they said they are looking for capital.
4:51
How much? 1,000,000?
4:52
It's on you already. It's on you.
4:56
God, answer your prayer. Let me tell you this, ladies and
4:59
gentlemen, I. Submit to you.
5:02
Packaging works when there is content.
5:08
Packaging works when there is because you see you name every
5:15
bottle by what is inside. There are bottles there.
5:18
If I hold if I put water in a bottle, what is it called a
5:22
bottle of if I pour the water? And I put cashew nuts inside, it
5:26
becomes a bottle of. If I put the cashew nut and I
5:30
put oil inside, it becomes a bottle of that bottle is you.
5:35
You will be named by what is inside you.
5:42
If what is inside you is foolishness and outside is is
5:45
nice, you just look at a good container with nothing inside.
5:54
And this is where many men of God need to teach God's people.
6:00
It is not just about binding and casting.
6:03
There is a place for that. You can bind and cast every
6:07
spirit, every generational causes.
6:09
Let me tell you the truth, generational causes are
6:12
maintained by generational mindsets.
6:16
There is a software when you have a generational mindset of
6:23
failure, it will sponsor spirits, familiar spirits they
6:26
are called. I've done several teachings on
6:32
finances. Please make reference to them.
6:34
I teach extensively on mindsets. Let me give you a few of them.
6:38
Get the message. The mentality of a victor.
6:43
Get the teaching series. The power to get.
6:45
Wealth. Get the teaching series, Seasons
6:48
of Abundance. I have done a number of
6:51
teachings. It's my gift to have many who
6:53
are interested in stepping into divine supplies mindsets.
7:04
Can I tell you this? You can cast out the spirit of
7:07
poverty with one demand, one proclamation.
7:11
But the mindset of poverty, that's where the hard work
7:14
comes. Are we together?
7:17
You profit not of what you do. You profit of the mindset that
7:24
supports what you do. That is why two people can do
7:27
the same thing. One can fail woefully and the
7:30
other one can succeed. Because your mindset is the
7:34
battery that powers your actions.
7:36
Your mindset is the battery that powers your actions.
7:41
A wall clock does not move because it is new.
7:44
It moves because there is a battery that is alive connected
7:47
to it. That battery is your mindset.
7:50
Self time in Jesus name. Please shout it, say in Jesus
7:53
name I decree and I declare that I have the mindset and I receive
8:01
the mindset and I keep receiving the mindset that makes for
8:06
abundance. Hallelujah.
8:10
Now there are people who have what I call a childish mindset
8:13
for abundance. It's not a wrong mindset, it's
8:17
only that it's childish. They run away from poverty and
8:21
jump and shout and don't take responsibility.
8:23
They just listen to 1 message and jump around sometimes and
8:26
then they don't get anything. That's not what I'm teaching
8:29
you. It's not about shouting.
8:31
I cannot be poor. That's it.
8:33
There's a place for that, but you must embrace the thinking.
8:38
You upgrade yourself by light. You will begin to attract to
8:41
your life what looks like Doctor Stanley's here.
8:45
Let me use him for an example. I have the opportunity to know
8:49
when the project that you call the Del Boro now one of the
8:53
best, finest of the hotels available in our nation.
8:56
And we're proud of it. Really, we're proud of it.
8:59
Yes, we are unapologetically so. We're proud of it, hosted
9:04
presidents, hosted kings and nobles.
9:07
And you see, let me tell you this.
9:09
It came because of a superior belief.
9:12
If you don't believe you can, you can't.
9:16
Is is said often a business. People will say whether you
9:18
believe you can or not. You are right.
9:21
That is true. I read a story.
9:25
That story is by Elle Nightingale.
9:27
He said a man was going into a new city and he met a farmer and
9:33
he told the farmer, I said, listen, I hear that in this
9:35
place there's high rate of crime, people kill, people rape,
9:38
there's violence. And the farmer looked at him and
9:41
said, you are right. And the man passed.
9:44
A few hours later, another man came bobbling, smiling and said,
9:47
I hear this place, it's a nice place.
9:49
People sing, people are vibrant, they love one another.
9:52
The farmer looked at him and said, you are right.
9:56
Both of them are right. What you are looking for is what
9:58
you will find. If you are looking for Satan,
10:00
you will find him. If you are looking for failure,
10:03
you will find it. If you are looking for trouble,
10:06
like we say, you will find it. For me, I'm looking for God, I'm
10:10
looking for greatness. I'm looking for passion.
10:13
And I've seen that the way to attract them, the way to look
10:16
for them is to attract them through my transformation.
10:20
Obtain grace to keep working on your mind.
10:23
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God is
10:26
someone learning #3 The third aspect what discussing Jehovah
10:32
Jireh showing you how God supplies in abundance.
10:38
There are actions and activities that manifest poverty in the
10:42
life of an individual. So there are times that the
10:45
spirit component is solved, done with, sorted, the mindset is
10:51
sorted, and sometimes your actions and your activities now
10:55
cancel out everything you've gone through.
10:58
Let me give you an example. 3 scriptures quickly, Proverbs 20
11:01
and verse 4. Please write it down and then
11:04
we'll read Proverbs 20 and verse 4.
11:07
I want to give you an example of actions and activities that keep
11:10
people poor ready. Let's read together. 12GO the
11:14
slogard. The word slogard means a lazy
11:16
man. The slogan will not plough by
11:19
reason of the cold. Therefore shall he beg in
11:23
harvest and have nothing. NIV Please can you give us NIV?
11:27
So we read a more modern translation One to go.
11:31
A slogan does not plough in season, so at harvest time he
11:36
looks but. Finds nothing.
11:38
There are people who never strike when the iron is hot.
11:41
They hear that there's there's a job opening.
11:44
They feel too proud. They say I'm well, I'm I'm two
11:47
years or five years and I'm tired.
11:49
One day my uncle said he's going to give me a job.
11:52
So I trust my uncle. I know he's a good man.
11:55
They don't take actions that help to make supplies happen in
11:59
their lives. Hallelujah.
12:03
Proverbs 1314, Proverbs 13 and verse 14.
12:12
Did I get that right? 1314 or Proverbs 1423?
12:17
Let's go to 14231423 is a scripture I'm looking for.
12:23
Please give it to us beautiful in all label.
12:27
Everybody look up please in all label there is what can we have
12:32
NLT or any of the modern versions.
12:34
I like to see what it says there.
12:36
Walk brings profit, but mayor talk?
12:43
You know what mayor talk is chairman?
12:47
Mayor Talk. There are many young people
12:53
going nowhere. They call themselves expensive
12:57
names without the grace to be diligent to defend it.
13:02
Mayor Talk. You know, I'm a I'm a I'm a
13:05
millionaire. It's just that I'm a humble.
13:07
I don't want to say anything. You know my there are actions,
13:18
listen and activities that leads to poverty.
13:23
Show me a man who wakes up in the morning and carries his his
13:28
CV in the name of Jesus. I know that I've been delivered.
13:32
I shouted Amen. Spirit of poverty, you are gone
13:35
by the power of the Holy Spirit. I will find out whether there's
13:38
a job opening instead of gossiping online, available jobs
13:43
enter and the spirit of grace will route some jobs somewhere
13:48
that is paying you so much and one thing will lead to the other
13:52
and favor just comes like that. Can I tell you, ladies and
13:55
gentlemen? Laziness as a case study will
13:59
always lead to poverty. Even if you are anointed,
14:03
laziness will always lead to poverty.
14:07
I'm sorry to say there are preachers who are lazy.
14:11
Always resting for doing nothing.
14:14
Always resting for doing nothing.
14:16
There are business people who are lazy.
14:19
You open your shop by 12 and close it. 5:00 PM for
14:22
fellowship. Nothing wrong with the
14:24
fellowship, but you are going to be poor because you are not
14:27
taking your walk seriously. Are we together?
14:32
Have you seen people like that? Customers come and knock, They
14:35
wake them from sleep. We want to buy the crate of
14:39
minerals. And the people yawn and and say
14:41
why now? Yeah, it's too early. 8:30 No,
14:43
Sir. No, Sir.
14:49
Listen, let me tell you whether you you've heard me tell you
14:53
whether you serve God or serve Satan, the one thing both of
14:56
them will not tolerate is laziness.
14:58
Whether it's God you serve or Satan, in case you don't love
15:04
God and you go to Satan, you will still work hard.
15:10
At least the one thing we know that both God and Satan agree on
15:14
is that lazy people have no future.
15:17
Whether you work for the Dark Kingdom, you will still not be
15:20
promoted. Are we together?
15:28
I've had back-to-back troubles. By this morning, I was in Lagos
15:31
for a conference. I returned back.
15:34
I'm still standing. There are many young people
15:36
behaving as if they're 70 years. Let me tell you the truth.
15:39
The Bible says I must walk the walks of him.
15:42
After the oil comes on your head, use your hand walk.
15:47
Let me speak to every gentleman in Kolonia here.
15:50
Listen, before you clap, my dear people, you know I'm, I'm, I'm,
15:55
I'm for you. Where?
15:56
Gentlemen walk. Monday morning, tomorrow, don't
16:00
wake up and you are snoring and stretching and saying I'm
16:03
anointed. Get up and walk.
16:05
What work do I do? Read.
16:07
If you don't have a job. Learn from those who know what
16:11
they're doing. Pray, prepare, go and find some
16:15
place to intern while you are waiting.
16:17
But by all means, fight laziness.
16:21
Carrying certificates, wearing suits and saying I'm a graduate,
16:24
Thank God for that. Be gainfully employed.
16:27
If a job does not come, make Zobo, make something, make
16:30
doughnuts. I will pray for you.
16:33
Make it. If one door closes, cry for a
16:38
few minutes and force another one to open.
16:40
That's the mindset of champions. Sit down telling us what
16:44
happened last year. You are not the only one who
16:46
went through it. We're all in Nigeria here.
16:51
Flimsy excuses you find people make.
16:55
Well, you know the way it is our our job.
16:57
You've been hearing what is going around.
16:58
We all had it. You are not the only one who was
17:01
affected. The spirit of laziness.
17:05
I curse it from your life. Please take seriously what I'm
17:11
saying. I curse it from your life.
17:15
Go and learn tailoring if you cannot do anything.
17:18
Go and learn to be an apprentice somewhere and don't meet
17:22
somebody to help you at your own terms when you are in need.
17:27
Adaptation is proof of honor. Don't meet someone greater than
17:31
you and say we are colleagues. No, there's no colleague
17:33
mentality in the world of growth and knowledge and wealth.
17:38
Are we together? When you want to learn from the
17:41
person who is ahead of you, humble yourself, receive
17:44
instructions and learn. There are many arrogant people
17:48
who want to be wealthy at their own.
17:50
Terms they want to be great at their own terms.
17:55
Oh, I hear that there's a store and you're looking for a
17:57
foreman. Well, I can manage around how
17:59
much do you? Have the man does not have
18:01
anything. He sits down there and he's
18:03
embarrassed. Customers come, he cannot stand
18:06
up to greet them because the person he's seen is his
18:08
classmates. So what?
18:10
Let the classmates see you so that when God leaves you, he
18:13
will know that you did not walk your way by manipulation.
18:18
Are we together? The man who does not have and is
18:22
too big to receive and too big to learn is the one who will
18:27
remain in that condition forever.
18:29
I tell you, if I did not succeed with my life as a man of God, I
18:33
will humble myself. Even if it's somebody I raised,
18:37
I will humble myself and learn. It does not kill.
18:41
It's better to humble yourself and learn and grow.
18:44
Which one is more embarrassing? To learn earlier and bail
18:48
yourself out or to stand in pride and then you find out
18:51
everybody has gone and left you alone there.
18:58
Our generation is an arrogant generation.
19:01
No results. And yet everybody is everybody's
19:04
colleague. This colleague mentality.
19:07
We are colleagues to fathers. We are colleagues to senior
19:10
mentors. We are colleagues to people with
19:12
potent, undeniable results. No learning, no humility to
19:16
learn. Tonight's teaching is hard.
19:22
Don't worry, it's out of love. This is how to prosper you.
19:26
You don't prosper people by massaging their back.
19:29
You, you give them a push. Are we together?
19:35
Some of you have been pampered since they gave birth to you.
19:37
That's why God sent me to your life to give you another side of
19:41
how people make it. Nobody will come and say, you
19:43
know, please be serious with you.
19:45
It doesn't work that way, Sir. It doesn't work that way in
19:51
life. You force your portion to come
19:53
to you. Did you hear what I said?
19:55
You force your portion to come to you.
20:02
Let me give you the tripartite expression of wealth.
20:06
Just like poverty, wealth is also tripartite my.
20:11
God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in
20:18
glory. He will put his angels charge
20:23
over me. Jehovah cares for me.
20:33
Jehovah. #1 the tripartite expression of wealth and
20:42
abundance. Let me give it to you quickly,
20:44
and then I tie up with what it means to experience Jehovah
20:47
Jireh. Let's go the first dimension of
20:52
or the first expression of wealth and abundance is the
20:55
power to get wealth write that down, please.
20:58
The power to get wealth deuteronomy 818 this is the
21:02
spiritual side of wealth the power to get wealth is an
21:08
impartation that comes from the. Spirit of God that empowers you
21:13
to be creative, productive, to have strategies are we together
21:19
and to enjoy the favor that makes finances work for you.
21:23
The power to get well is a supernatural impartation by the
21:27
Holy Spirit. I have taught you here the power
21:29
to to get well works in three areas of your life.
21:33
Number one, your mind #2 the works of your hands #3 your feet
21:39
for direction. So when you receive the power to
21:41
get well, the first thing you receive is unusual understanding
21:45
and illumination #2 strategies to make the works of your hands
21:51
to prosper #3 divine direction so that your steps are ordered
21:57
into the wealthy place, the power to get wealth.
22:04
And tonight, in the name of Jesus afresh that will come on
22:07
someone the. Same way watch this, the spirit
22:11
of poverty can be in the life of a man.
22:15
Programming catastrophes, that is the exact same way.
22:20
When the power to get well comes upon you, you literally become
22:23
like a magnet. I'm telling you, with no
22:26
exaggeration, you become like a magnet.
22:28
You begin to draw possibilities that look like coincidences, but
22:33
they are orchestrated by spirits.
22:35
And a major part of those coincidences is meeting
22:39
strategic men. Strategic men, you know you have
22:44
the power to prosper because you meet people that matter in ways
22:48
you cannot explain. In the air, in the plane, you
22:52
will meet them. I have met strategic people who
22:55
have been used by God to redefine possibilities in my
22:59
life in the strangest of ways. You are not trying to look for
23:03
them. The grace has a way of
23:06
connecting you to them. Have you seen people like that?
23:11
When the power to prosper is upon you, it doesn't directly
23:15
bring money to your pocket. What happens is that it begins
23:18
to move you and move things to you.
23:23
Mix metal, metallic nails and dust and get a powerful magnet
23:29
and pass it there. What happens?
23:32
The magnets will come out. That's what happens when it
23:34
comes on you, believe me, Literally that way.
23:39
When that grace comes on you, as you get up, walking through the
23:42
streets of Abuja, that Spirit, the Holy Spirit begins to
23:46
orchestrate your helper. Orchestrate a newspaper that has
23:50
an information you need. Orchestrate what message in the
23:54
Internet you will find. Have you seen that there are
23:57
people who always find what is working?
24:00
They don't have to look for it. It is a grace they can find the
24:05
best interior decor person not by actively looking for the
24:09
person that grace insists that you find what is at the top of
24:14
everything. Believe me, I know what I'm
24:16
saying. Just when you are seated,
24:19
someone calls you and says I am so so, so and so and you say you
24:23
are the 1. So you are the owner of this.
24:25
It is if you try to look for people physically you will be a
24:28
beggar forever. Let the grace fish people and
24:31
bring to your life Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
24:44
You believe what you're hearing, Grace.
24:47
You're a businessman. You'll be surprised that Grace
24:50
comes on you and someone calls you and says there's a workshop.
24:53
Please are you interested? You would think it's just a
24:55
workshop with some mean men. You enter there and see
24:58
everybody you have prayed for and they say welcome, whoever is
25:02
in this place has a stake. Come and sit down and they'll be
25:06
discussing things that you almost want to run away, but God
25:09
has brought you there. Hallelujah, praise the name of
25:14
the Lord. There are people I met in the
25:17
airplane. It was no coincidence at all I
25:21
met them there. There are people I met at the
25:23
airport. There are people I met in
25:25
strange places. There are people.
25:27
God carried them and brought them to Kuinonia because He knew
25:30
I would not be able to find them.
25:31
Then He brought them the power to prosper.
25:34
I pray for you. May good things gravitate
25:37
towards you. I say to you, May good people
25:41
gravitate towards you. When you see a man who has the
25:48
power to prosper, His excellence is beyond money.
25:52
You always find. Help us you find.
25:55
Bless us. You watch that person.
25:57
Oh, we need somebody to do this building project immediately.
26:02
The power to prosper, the Holy Spirit starts moving the right
26:05
person and a series of coincidences you cannot explain.
26:10
I'm telling you this, That's why you find there are people who
26:14
always have the best on their team.
26:17
There is a science to getting the best, but there is a grace
26:21
that attracts the best to your life.
26:28
It's true. How do you think we're able to
26:31
host some of these global conferences?
26:33
You know what it means to get help us.
26:36
It's beyond just calling for volunteers, my brother.
26:40
It is that grace you have that grace as a man of God.
26:43
You can enter wilderness and the right people who must make the
26:48
work happen. I tell you, if you have the
26:51
power to prosper as a man of God, the day your keyboardist
26:54
leaves the church, one hour, another one will come.
26:57
You can't explain it. It's a mystery that insists that
27:01
your excellence is not tampered with.
27:05
It cannot be fully explained by science.
27:08
Some call it the law of attraction.
27:10
It is the Holy Spirit. Do you believe what you're
27:14
hearing? Through.
27:18
You carry the power to prosper. You can stand outside and
27:22
someone comes, greets 5 people and looks at you and says do you
27:26
know, let me do there. There are stories that cannot be
27:30
shared because it will look like arrogance.
27:37
Rest on me, oh, rest on me, oh, rest on me.
27:47
Spirit of wisdom, Rest on me, Oh, rest on me, oh rest on me,
28:01
oh rest on me. The power to prosper.
28:09
Let me tell you this, if you are going to look for every great
28:13
man by looking for them, then you will not find more than four
28:17
in your lifetime because. Great people have gone through
28:20
too much pain. They will not give you their
28:23
attention cheaply. Their pain is a fence over their
28:28
lives. They won't open it for just
28:30
anybody to come. They know the value of pain.
28:33
They know the value of betrayal. They know the value of
28:36
sacrifice. They won't come because you have
28:38
their number. If you like, snap with them.
28:40
It doesn't mean you know them. But when that grace is on you,
28:46
I'm showing you how this thing works.
28:48
You don't have to be a man of God.
28:50
My dear sister, let me tell you when this grace is on you.
28:54
Do you know how you know it's on you?
28:56
Established people will look for you.
28:59
You will not look for them. Listen, only Pharaoh has the
29:04
power to make Joseph Prime Minister.
29:06
The one presser cannot make Joseph Prime Minister.
29:10
The Baker cannot make Joseph Prime Minister.
29:13
Only a hazardous can make Esther queen.
29:16
Mordecai cannot make Esther queen.
29:18
A man cannot make Esther queen. When the power to prosper is on
29:22
you. Those who have keys, those who
29:25
hold keys, I'm telling you, you may be the least person from
29:29
your Father's house, but when that grace is on you, I'm
29:33
showing you how it works. This is beyond buying and
29:35
selling. It is the spirit of each fest.
29:43
Hallelujah. Someone comes to you and says
29:47
you know what? I hear that you are looking for
29:50
XYZI, hear that you are looking for a visa, or I hear you are
29:56
looking for this. Do you mind me talking to
29:58
somebody? Talking to somebody and you are
30:01
tempted to say why? Why are you doing this to me?
30:04
They themselves cannot explain it because the anointing on you
30:08
is an instruction to the realm of the spirit to behave to you
30:12
in a certain way. I tell you, believe what you are
30:15
hearing, believe what you are hearing.
30:20
This is beyond money. My brothers and my sisters.
30:23
You are a ministry. You don't have this.
30:24
You will most likely fail, Most likely fail.
30:27
You are a businessman. Thank God for your products and
30:30
services. But if you do not have the power
30:33
to prosper, that is the spirit of wealth.
30:37
Naira and dollar is paper. Your goods are physical things,
30:43
your services. The real connector is the
30:48
anointing. You may be small, but it will
30:54
connect you to mighty men. I'm telling you, mighty men,
30:59
mighty men, mighty men, men of capacity, capacity.
31:10
Hallelujah. Let me tell you this, ladies and
31:14
gentlemen, I don't mean to sound arrogant, but by disgrace I have
31:20
met presidents. I have met kings, I have met
31:23
billionaires, I've met people who in my lifetime and by the
31:27
natural course of things in my lifetime multiplied by three, I
31:32
will not meet. And it's not because I'm a man
31:35
of God. No, it's a grace that you wake
31:40
up in the morning and you see a missed call and you call back
31:45
only to hear the voice. You think you are dreaming and
31:48
the person says we had about you because there are angels that
31:51
noise things abroad. We're about to pray.
31:57
You will receive something this night.
31:59
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
32:04
By the grace of God, please look at me.
32:07
I will say it boldly to you, the man talking to you by the
32:11
message of God. And forgive me if I sound
32:13
arrogant. There are few people, few people
32:17
I'm saying this, who have studied finances like me.
32:20
I say this with humility, and May God forgive me if I'm
32:24
sounding arrogant. Few people from an intellectual
32:29
standpoint. I'm not talking of just
32:32
spiritual standpoint. I've read the Bible, but I have
32:35
studied wealth. I have studied wealthy people,
32:38
not just by going for seminars alone.
32:40
I have met with wealthy people. I have listened to them many of
32:45
the things people are telling you is the way it's not the way
32:49
I am showing you by the Spirit of God, ask anyone who has been
32:52
welded by the dignity of Kingdom integrity.
32:55
It stands first. With that grace, you must know
32:58
that there is the. Spirit component to wealth.
33:03
I have to give you the other two.
33:05
Please sit down. We're praying we'll soon close.
33:10
Number one, the power to prosper #2 There is a mindset that leads
33:18
to wealth and abundance. Write this down please.
33:22
Proverbs chapter 8 from verse 15.
33:25
There is a mindset by me is speaking about the mindset of
33:30
wisdom King's reign and prince's decree, Justice 16.
33:37
By me Prince's rule and nobles, even the judges of all the earth
33:42
17. I love them that love me, and
33:45
those that seek me early shall find me. 18 Riches and honor are
33:51
with me. Yeah, durable riches and
33:54
righteousness. Reading to 21 My fruit is better
33:57
than gold, and yeah, fine gold. My revenue is better than
34:03
choice. Silver verse 20 I live in the
34:07
way of righteousness. No pranks, no crookedness.
34:10
In the midst of the paths of judgment 21 it says that I may
34:15
cause those who love me read it with me to inherit substance,
34:22
and I will feel their treasures. Those who love me, who embrace
34:27
wisdom, I will cause them to inherit substance.
34:31
Proverbs 13201320 Proverbs please give.
34:38
It to us Samalantoski Alando Sabrandia, he that works with
34:44
the wise. Please don't forget the
34:46
scripture. No matter how foolish you are,
34:50
walk with the wise. The Bible says You will be wise
34:54
eventually, he says, but a companion of fools.
34:58
The word fools here means those who are void of knowledge and
35:01
understanding shall be destroyed.
35:04
Obtain grace to choose your company.
35:07
It is your contribution to your becoming wealthy.
35:10
Choose your company. Don't surround yourself with
35:13
losers wrapped up with sentiments.
35:16
Love everybody. Respect everybody.
35:19
But from a financial standpoint, eagles fly together.
35:25
Are we together now? There is the mindset, poor
35:34
decisions. Let me give you a few mindsets
35:38
that make people wealthy. Knowing that your life and your
35:43
prosperity in Christ depends on God and depends on you taking
35:48
responsibility. That's an example of the kind of
35:51
mindset that wins another mindset, the mindset of
35:56
diligence. Another mindset, the mindset of
35:59
delaying instant graphic gratification.
36:03
Are we together? Not eating your tomorrow today
36:10
because you want to prove a point?
36:11
No, if all you have is 1 trouser, I own it and wear it
36:15
with dignity knowing that those days are numbered.
36:20
A fake life, I told you, is expensive.
36:23
Wealthy people as lavish as they look.
36:27
Wealthy people. Who are wise?
36:29
They live many layers beyond their below their true wolf.
36:34
Many layers below their true wolf.
36:38
Hallelujah. When you think there are 10,
36:41
they most likely maybe are 200. So there is the power to get
36:50
wealth, the Holy Spirit, His operation that powers
36:55
possibilities to your life. There is the mindset that leads
36:58
to abundance. And then #3 there are actions
37:07
and activities that manifest wealth and abundance.
37:10
We read 1 already. Proverbs 1423 in all diligence.
37:14
In all labor, there is prophet. In all labor, the Bible says
37:18
there's prophet Proverbs 1423 in all labor, there's prophet.
37:23
Let me give you Ecclesiastes Chapter 11 and verse 6.
37:27
I'm showing you the actions that make for wealth.
37:30
Here's it in the morning, sow your.
37:33
Seed. In the evening.
37:36
Withhold not your hand. He's talking about your labor.
37:40
For thou knowest not whether shall prosper, whether this or
37:44
that, or both of them alike. Ecclesiastes 11, Verse 2.
37:49
NIV or NLT, whichever give a portion, he said.
37:53
Divide your investments among many places for you do not know
37:57
what risks might lie ahead. I've taught you this.
38:01
I'm just showing you that there are actions.
38:04
When you find people who are wealthy, they have the power to
38:07
get wealth. There is the mindset to get
38:10
wealth, to know that wealth responds to value.
38:13
Wealth responds to productivity. Wealth responds to solutions.
38:18
There is. There is a science to wealth.
38:22
And then there are activities. Are we together?
38:27
Proverbs 13 and verse 11 Proverbs 13 and verse 11.
38:33
Read with me, ladies and gentlemen. 1 to go wealth gotten
38:37
by vanity, but he that gathered by labour one more time.
38:51
This is what you call it, get rich quick.
38:54
Even though I do not believe in get rich slow, I believe in get
38:58
rich progressively and in a fair enough time.
39:04
I don't believe in get rich quick, but I also don't believe
39:06
in get rich slow. You don't have every time.
39:09
You don't have your lifetime to be wealthy.
39:12
God can give you accelerated strategies, For instance,
39:15
relationships. Relationship is an accelerator.
39:19
In one day you can enjoy the benevolence of friendship.
39:23
It will give you what you would have said for 10 years.
39:28
Are we together? Now.
39:30
Experiencing Jehovah Jireh, we are wrapping up Genesis chapter
39:36
22 from verse 1 to 18. We are not reading just right
39:39
for reference, having given you all of these backgrounds talking
39:45
about Abraham, when you get to verse 14 or 13 and 14, that was
39:50
where the word Jehovah Jireh was mentioned.
39:53
Abraham called the name of the place.
39:54
Go to 13 or read 13 and then 14. For sake of time give us 13 and
39:59
14. Abraham lifted up his eyes, and
40:02
he looked, and behold, behind him was a ram that was caught in
40:06
a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the
40:10
ram, and offered him up for a bond offering in the stead of
40:14
his son. And Abraham called the name of
40:18
the place, Jehovah Jireh, as it is said to this day.
40:23
In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
40:26
Hallelujah. What does it take to experience
40:32
Jehovah? Jireh #1?
40:34
You must depend absolutely on God as your source.
40:39
You must depend absolutely on God as your source, right?
40:46
For reference, Psalm 34, five and six.
40:50
Proverbs chapter 3 from verse 5 and 6.
40:54
Psalm 34, five and six, you must depend absolutely on God.
41:01
I made a covenant with God that I will never look onto anything
41:06
or anyone as my source, even financially.
41:11
God servant Bishop Wedeco will quote this scripture every once
41:14
and again. They looked onto him and they
41:16
were lightened and their faces were not ashamed.
41:20
When you learn to trust God absolutely, men are channels.
41:26
Businesses are channels. Only God is the source.
41:29
By the time men become your source, businesses become your
41:33
source, you are getting into idolatry.
41:35
There will be no sustainable wealth for you, no sustainable
41:38
prosperity. I lift up my eyes to Jesus while
41:42
he uses men. I lift up my eyes to Jesus while
41:46
he uses value. I lift up my eyes to Jesus while
41:49
he uses strategic relationships #2 the second key to
41:54
experiencing Jehovah jire, the Jehovah jire dimension of
42:00
wealth. Are you ready?
42:01
You must walk in total obedience to God's Word and God's demands.
42:08
Please write that down. You want to experience the
42:10
Jehovah Jire order of wealth, the Jehovah Jireh order of
42:16
supplies. You must work in total obedience
42:20
to God's word and God's demands. Deuteronomy chapter 28 from
42:25
verse one and two shall come to pass.
42:27
If thou shalt diligent be hacked into the voice of the Lord your
42:29
God to do and observe all that I command you this day, that you
42:33
shall be set on high above all the nations of the earth.
42:36
Verse 2 And all these blessings shall overtake you if you
42:41
hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.
42:44
Deuteronomy chapter 29 and verse 9.
42:47
Let's read it together. Please write and then we read.
42:49
Don't be tired. You are learning this is a cheap
42:52
bargain to your becoming. Let's read together. 1 to go.
42:57
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye
43:02
may prosper in all you do one more time.
43:06
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them that ye
43:11
may prosper. You don't claim prosperity, you
43:18
obey your way to the Jehovah. Jireh dimension of prosperity,
43:23
whatsoever he says to do. Do.
43:26
If he says to be diligent, you are diligent, then Isaiah 119.
43:31
Of course, you know I like this one.
43:34
It says if you are willing and obedient, if you are willing and
43:40
obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
43:43
Nigeria there is good in this. Land America, there is good in
43:47
that land, Benet Republic, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya,
43:51
there's good in every land. Your willingness and your
43:55
obedience is what delivers your portion.
43:57
I wrote something here. You must be willing and obedient
44:01
too #1 be a giver. You must be willing and obedient
44:06
to commit to prayer. You must be willing and obedient
44:11
to contend for knowledge and wisdom.
44:13
You must be willing and obedient to be valuable, to be excellent.
44:19
You must be willing and obedient to delay gratification.
44:23
You must be willing and obedient to sacrifice your time, your
44:28
energy, your resources. You must be willing and obedient
44:32
to build relationships. You must be willing and obedient
44:36
to be frugal with your finances. You must be willing and.
44:40
Obedient to invest. I've said a lot.
44:45
Get the teaching. You must be willing and
44:48
obedient. To be a giver.
44:49
So don't just say I'm willing and obedient.
44:51
I'm listening for you a number of things you must be willing
44:55
and obedient to do. You want to experience Jehovah
44:57
Jireh? You don't just claim it.
45:00
You must be willing and obedient to be a giver, to pray and pray
45:05
again, to contend for knowledge and wisdom.
45:09
You must be willing and obedient to build value, to be excellent
45:14
and competent, to delay gratification.
45:17
You must be willing to sacrifice.
45:21
You must be willing to build strategic relationships.
45:25
You must be willing to be frugal, not wasteful.
45:30
You must be willing to invest. Let me give you #3 what does it
45:35
take to experience the Jehovah Jireh dimension of wealth and
45:41
abundance? Are you ready?
45:43
You must engage the mystery of sacrifice.
45:50
Sacrifice of your time, sacrifice of your life,
45:56
sacrifice of your energy, sacrifice of your resources in
46:03
serving God's interests and investing for a glorious future.
46:09
Every champion, truly successful person who was not by fraud, by
46:18
all kinds of satanic things, with the dignity of Kingdom
46:21
integrity, they will tell you that there was a point in their
46:25
lives at least, if not even ongoing, where their lives was
46:30
all about sacrifice. Many people start businesses
46:36
because they say they are tired of nine to five, not knowing
46:39
that business people don't do 9:00 to 5:00, they do 24 hours
46:43
or more. Did you hear what I said?
46:47
If you start a business because you are tired of nine to five,
46:50
think again. Because the language of
46:54
champions is sacrifice. You must be willing.
47:01
But let me tell you this, you must be willing to give their at
47:06
dimensions of financial sacrifices you must make.
47:11
I hope you have the grace to believe this somewhere in your
47:15
journey to Kingdom world, God will place a demand on your
47:19
life. My life is full of instances
47:23
seeds pico let me tell you seeds with understanding bar is is
47:29
beyond just money. There are times.
47:32
Where it will cost you. God will demand certain things
47:37
that Jehovah Jarry you are talking about.
47:39
He only saw it when he carried Isaac to the mountain.
47:43
He did not see Jehovah Jarry from his.
47:45
House, even though there was already a prophetic word when he
47:49
carried Isaac and laid Isaac down, took a knife to stab
47:54
Isaac, and God says stop for now.
47:57
I know that you fear me. Verse 11 and 12 I know that you
48:00
fear me. I see, so you can do this for
48:04
me. Genesis 22 you can do this for
48:07
me. Lay not your hand on the child
48:09
neither do anything for now. I know that you fear me seeing
48:14
that you have not withheld. Now.
48:16
The subject of finances has brought so much problem in the
48:20
body of Christ, and I agree to the fact that people have been
48:23
manipulated. But ladies and gentlemen, if you
48:26
run away from sacrifice, forget about the Jehovah Jireh order of
48:32
wealth. It was in this place two years
48:37
ago or so. After the many series of things
48:40
I've done with the Lord, the Lord was to shift me to another
48:43
dimension and this ministry. And he said, God gave me an
48:47
instruction while praying and fasting to sow a seed on behalf
48:52
of this ministry. It was a huge sacrifice.
48:56
It came by revelation, not coercion, not manipulation.
49:01
No matter how wealthy you are, that seed will cost you.
49:05
Kaenonia gave its own then. The Lord now spoke to me and
49:09
said what I told Kaenonia to give you as a person, give twice
49:14
that amount. It's easy to give, Ishmael.
49:19
Oh, you can say go out, open the door.
49:21
Yeah, Ishmael be on your way, but for Isaac, because Isaac
49:27
came by pain. Isaac came because you waited.
49:31
Isaac was a testament of your endurance when I obeyed God.
49:37
I've always known I love the Lord, but I knew that time that
49:40
I love the Lord and Satan was a witness to that giving there are
49:46
giving that provoke a swan blessing.
49:50
There are giving that open the heavens in a mysterious way.
49:56
I wish I were lying out. I've just told you sorry.
49:59
What is the truth. Many of you this how your hand
50:03
is and that's why you cannot receive when you hear messages
50:07
that frown are giving you love it not because you believe it,
50:10
but because you have your greed has found a safe haven to hide.
50:15
I'm speaking. To you as my dear people, if
50:17
your hands are like this. You are going to be poor.
50:20
Take it from me, take it from me, take it from me.
50:25
I will not tell you to do what I'm not doing.
50:26
My goodness, you go behind the backside of my finances.
50:31
You will see blood dripping on the altar behind the finances of
50:37
this ministry. Blood dripping on the altar.
50:41
You see, if you are a giving man of God, you can lift your people
50:45
to your realm of reality. If you were given church, you
50:49
can lift people. If you are giving business, you
50:52
cannot. There is an energy that comes
50:55
from your personal obedience that compels people.
51:00
I'll give you the last. Key I'm going to give everyone
51:03
an opportunity to soul. If you are.
51:05
Interested, but the last key. Write this down.
51:08
What does it take to experience the Jehovah Jireh order of
51:14
wealth and abundance? You must desire to see God's
51:20
vision, God's program advance, and you must subscribe to be a
51:26
part of driving it to Ferushan. The final key number one, to
51:34
experience the Jehovah Jireh order of supplies, you must
51:39
depend absolutely on God as your source, not your job, not men,
51:45
not business, not connections, not intelligence.
51:49
Two, you must be willing to work in total obedience to God's Word
51:54
and His demands #3 you must engage in the mystery of
52:03
sacrifice of your time, your energy, your life.
52:07
But you must be willing to respond to Kairos moments when
52:11
God places a demand upon you. It's unfortunate that many
52:15
pastors have manipulated people for gain.
52:20
Many pastors have manipulated people just to have something to
52:24
eat. And because of that, we've mixed
52:28
the baby and the bathwater and everything, and we've called
52:30
everything that has to do with giving sacrificial giving is
52:34
calm. No Sir, it is not a scam.
52:37
There are prophetic. Seasons in the lives of people,
52:41
where people take seeds with understanding, motivated by the
52:47
irrefutable injunction. It's an ordinance that he that
52:52
weepeth. There are a kind of seeds called
52:55
precious seeds. It says you will return
52:58
rejoicing, bringing your sheeps with you.
53:01
And then #4 you must desire to see God's vision.
53:06
You must desire to see God's Kingdom Come program advance and
53:12
you must subscribe to be a part of it, whether with your giving
53:17
or with your life. But my God shall supply all your
53:29
needs, not some, all your needs, according to his riches in
53:37
glory. By Christ Jesus, I'm going to
53:40
pray for you. We seldom do this, but I'm going
53:43
to do this tonight, Colonial Global Fest and then the body of
53:48
Christ. As many who are watching, I'm
53:50
going to give you an opportunity to connect by a sacrificial.
53:55
Seed. With understanding, I'm not
53:58
speaking to everyone. If you don't believe this, just
54:00
continue listening. You're not going to hell.
54:03
By God's grace, we love God. Our consecrations does not allow
54:07
us to play this kind of game, not at this level of ministry.
54:10
God has shown too much mercy. Are we together by the grace of
54:14
God? God has raised kings and nobles
54:19
as sons and daughters. If there is a need, there is a
54:23
way to contact those who matter, and with honor and joy they will
54:27
respond with their benevolence. Tonight, God is giving someone
54:31
an opportunity. To.
54:33
Bring certain seasons to an end. I did this many years ago.
54:38
I've done this from that time till forever.
54:42
I am a giver, A sacrificial giver.
54:45
Not by manipulation. It is heavy on my heart right
54:49
now as I'm telling you this, but if I end this service without
54:54
giving you an opportunity, then I truly hated you.
54:57
You have the liberty to listen and say, apostle, I've listened
55:00
to everything you said, but this giving part, I don't believe it.
55:03
That's fine. Just listen to the rest and
55:05
receive the blessing when I'm praying for you.
55:07
But I'm telling you this, ladies and gentlemen, there comes a
55:10
time in everybody's life where you shift seasons.
55:15
As I was preparing this sermon, I already had my own instruction
55:20
from God, both for Koinonia and for me.
55:23
Because we don't plateau on this journey.
55:25
You can go from glory to glory. I'm going to pray for you, and
55:31
then I'm going to ask you with if you understand everything and
55:36
if you trust the integrity of the one who is speaking to you.
55:39
By the messes of God, we have demonstrated the rarity of
55:43
integrity, even financial integrity.
55:47
It will be an insult for me to stand before the globe and to be
55:51
manipulating you for money, no? No, there are too many.
55:55
Help us like a Garrison around my life, if I desire to drink of
56:01
the Pool of Bethlehem, there are warriors stationed.
56:04
They will tear down a fence to bring that cup of water.
56:10
But tonight I want somebody to taste of this grace that has
56:15
defined the possibilities of many people.
56:19
Nobody started from the top. You walk your way by
56:23
understanding now in one minute, whether you are a company,
56:28
whether you are a family. Please allow me pray before you
56:31
begin to give. Even if you have the ministry
56:32
account, please, it's beyond money, Paul said.
56:36
Not that I desire a seed, I desire credit, treasures that
56:43
will be credited to you. It is not about a need.
56:47
We are people helped by God, marvelously helped by the mercy
56:52
of God. But I want to give someone an
56:54
opportunity right now. Please pray in one minute.
56:58
And I want you to connect a season to your giving.
57:02
You can agree as a family. You can agree as a person.
57:06
I'm telling you, you are stepping into a season where God
57:09
is about to change your life. The power to get wealth is real.
57:14
Take a minute and pray across the globe.
57:18
Some of you, you may just need to stay holding the hand of your
57:21
spouse and say we've always doubted men of God and this
57:24
giving thing, but I want to believe in one minute
57:28
businessman, give God a chance. Man of God, there is a way out
57:32
of this life of struggling and compromise.
57:35
I'm showing you the way now. One minute you are praying.
57:41
Your name is the highest. Your name is the greatest.
57:49
Your name stands above alone one more time, your name.
57:55
Again, your name is the highest. Your name is the greatest.
58:03
Your name stands above one more time Your name one name is the
58:12
highest your name.
