Transcript: God's Wealth Transfer Agenda Part 2
Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.
This message is from Believers Equipped. A meeting organized by the Disciples Christian Network where the word of God is taught with practicality and believers are raised to reign in life. Join apostle Emmanuel as he walks us through the word of God. God's wealth transfer agenda part two. Ecclesiastes chapter two. Verse 26. The Bible says, for God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in his sight. But to the sinner he gives the work of collecting, gives the work of gathering that he may give to him who is good before God. And we said that when you search scriptures, the principle of wealth transfer is laid bare in scriptures. That our God brings believers into places of wealth in an influence is through transfer.
Is that not so? Yes sir. But I think I began to establish how that took wisdom, knowledge, joy are the three systems and principles that must work in the life of a man that positions himself for the transfer. And we began to unpack wisdom and we could not quite exhaust wisdom. So we would attempt to continue and see how far God will help us. As we begin to discuss wisdom. Because if you read it at face value, you would just miss it. All you would have seen is just wisdom, knowledge and joy. Well, let's pray for wisdom, knowledge and joy. And you would not understand exactly how this plays a role and how it must be deployed pragmatically to bring a person or to position a person in wealth.
And then for everywhere that there has been some kind of wealth transfer in scripture, you cannot displace the place of wisdom. And the role that wisdom played everywhere that there's been movement, there's been a shift of influence, of access, of properties, of money, of resources, from one person to another, from cities to cities, from nations, to individuals, you cannot downplay the role that wisdom played in that movement. And if you study these scriptures very well, you would be able to pick out very pragmatic wisdom points that God begins to show you, that God begins to give you, and you will be able to see exactly how it plays a role in your own life in today's world. And as you begin to deploy that wisdom, I define wisdom as the ability to discern and apply divine principles in solving life's challenges. Is that not so? Proverbs chapter four and verse seven, the Bible says, wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get wisdom. And in all thy getting, get understanding. Wisdom is a principle thing. On Sunday, I showed you how that Solomon could have asked for wealth. Solomon could have asked for long life.
He could have asked for victory over his enemies. But instead he asked for wisdom to serve God's people. And that alignment impressed God. And in response, God gave him wisdom. And along with that wisdom came riches, came honor. This is how the wisdom of wealth transfer works. It comes when your heart is tuned to God's kingdom agenda. When your heart is tuned to God's kingdom agenda, God begins to reveal to you the wisdom that you need. To provision yourself for that transfer. Am I making myself clear?
Yes sir. This is why your prayer life reveals your readiness for wealth transfer. If your prayer points are full of obsession with money and material things, you already disqualify yourself. Because wealth transfer in God's agenda is not for those who chase wealth. It is for those who chase God's will, God's purposes. And when your heart is consumed with doing God's bidding in your assigned sphere of influence, resources will naturally flow towards you. That's God's way. That's God's principle. Resources will what now? Naturally flow towards you.
If we are believers, it is important to know how God prospers men. That is how the world prospers men. Understand that the kind of resistance that an unbeliever faces is not the same kind that a believer faces. Because the devil does not stop you if you are going in the same direction with a thing. That's why you cannot just live your life by the standards and principles that an unbeliever lays bare and says this is how I build wealth. You don't have to listen to those church people. If you want to build wealth like I have done, my principles and my value systems not align with yours. If you attempt to just listen to that alone, without understanding that just the fact that you are a believer doing the same thing, submitting your heart to God's prophecies. You are against what the devil is trying to build. Because you have submitted your heart to build what God wants to do on earth.
And I've shown you that wherever God plants wheat, the devil plants theirs. And theirs are not just evil seeds, stairs are men. And the Bible calls this stairs, songs of the wicked one. So the same way that you have aligned your heart to God's purpose, there are people who have aligned their heart to do the devil's bidding. It's in scriptures. And the Bible says that the moment you say let the will of God be done, opposition begins. So a believer has to have a full council of God. When it comes to wealth creation, wealth transfer. Do you get my point now? Yes.
So I'm telling you that when it comes to how God prospers men, it begins first with your heart aligning with his kingdom. Your heart aligning with his purposes. Your heart aligning with what God wants to do. And it is revealed in Solomon. How that when God came to him and said what do you want? His prayer revealed alignment with the will and purposes of God. Give me wisdom to judge your people. What matters to God the most was what Solomon was asking for. Because the people that Solomon was presiding over was God's covenant people. And inside those people, the promise of salvation was hidden in a seed.
Get my message to revelation of Jesus. You will understand what I've just said now. God was hiding the seed inside that people. So it matters to God that those people are not destroyed. It matters to God that those people are preserved. It matters to God that those people are preserved so that the promise of salvation can mature and find expression. That's why everybody God lifted to provisions of leadership understood that beyond the personal comfort they got from leadership, they had a superior responsibility to God's covenant people. So when Joseph got there and became a prime minister, what did he say to his brethren? God sends me here to preserve a posterity for you. In other words, I understand my place in God's agenda.
But it's not just about my personal comfort And the wife that Pharaoh gave me and the children that I have and the entourage. It's not about that. Even though all of that will be there. You cannot be the king's personal assistant or the prime minister of the nation. I will not have some kind of advantage. There will be that. But that's not why God is lifting me. So if your whole pursuit of wealth is that you have already escaped God's wealth transfer agenda. So you see this all through That there was something God was doing. And everybody he lifted, he lifted to preserve what he was doing.
Every other thing came as a benefit. That's the meaning of all these things shall be headache. All these things added. It's just added. On the path of destiny, on the path of purpose. On the platform where you are fulfilling God's agenda. All these things added. Are you with me? Yeah. So there's no doubt that the comfort will be there.
There's no doubt. There's no doubt that you will live a good life. There's no doubt. Are you with me? Because some people think that doing the will of God means sentence to penury. Do you know that what a lot people think that if you just follow God's will like this, you say to them, have you prayed about it? And they are afraid to pray about it. That person you want to marry, have you prayed? And the guy is afraid. That hey, what if God says no?
As though that's the most wicked thing anybody can ever do to you. You don't understand that the will of God is the safest place a man can be. You should be afraid if you are not in the will of God. You should jump to go and pray. You should jump to want to know the heart of God. Do you get my point? So you see, where you begin your pursuit of wealth is understanding that it is to serve the kingdom of God. So it means a believer must be more concerned about how much he gives and how much he takes. Even that how much he earns. Do you know it is in the Bible?
It's not me who said it. This is how some of us have committed our life to live. And some of us are listening to people who have mastered this thing more than us so that we can enlarge our hearts to do this thing. How they are doing it. Because I like to hear people on this path. So that my hands can stretch even more. Listen to me brothers and sisters. That when you are thinking money, be thinking money with respect to giving. I'm giving you a master key. Be thinking money with respect to how much you will give.
I need 10,000,000 right now to give. I need a million right now to give. I want to be able to give this to the kingdom. But my first 1,000,000, my first 10,000,000, my first 100,000,000, my first 1,000,000,000 goes to you. Be thinking money and not from a place of a principle you are trying to apply, from a genuineness of heart. Because you can now hear what I'm saying now and You now say issue like, your mind now goes ahead. No, I want to give. I want to. I want to give. You see that?
That's called self deception. That's a man deceiving himself. When you find that that is happening to you, just say God help my heart. That's you need to tell God to help your heart. You have not gotten it. Because it flows from a place of genuineness. Jesus is the one that said they worship me with their mouth. But their heart is far from me. It doesn't matter what your mouth says. It matters where your heart sits, where your heart is standing, the posture your heart is taken.
That's what matters. Are you with me pronouncing that? So when it comes to this, where your heart should, right, the posture of your heart should be kingdom. God's agenda. God's agenda. God's agenda. Are you with me? Yes sir. Both agenda. Think more of making impact.
Think more of blessing people. When it comes to money. If you are thinking money, let that be what is in your mind. Think more of, take more of school fees that can be paid, think more of lands that can be purchased, think more of expansions that can come, think more of, think more of how your wealth can impact society, think more of how the money God gives to you, do you understand what I'm saying? It will not start when you now have the money. It will start with the 5,000 in your hand. It will start with the 100,000 naira you are earning. It will start with the millionaire God has blessed you with. It will start with it. Are you getting my point now?
Think more in that direction. Be too selfish. Don't be too survivor conscious. That's why some people cannot give. Because they are afraid of what they will eat tomorrow. Give. Joseph got there and said, the reason I have all of this, the reason why God brought me here is because he has sinned ahead and he wanted me to preserve equal sterility. Joseph said, I've seen in the mind of God that he wanted to preserve you. If God had not brought me here, this famine would have killed you. If this famine had killed you, that means plan of God for salvation would have been perished.
Do you understand that? Yes sir. Because salvation was to come through the Jews. Because God had said, the seed of the woman shall bruise the head of the serpent. It means God was preserving a people in whose womb the seed will manifest. So it matters that that's it. Those people are preserved. So every time something rose that will destroy them, God would always raise someone who had a mind of ease, who is aligned with what when the angel came to Gideon and said, you mighty man of valor, alright? The Lord is with you. Look at the thing Gideon was saying, if the Lord is with us, he didn't even say if the Lord is with me.
His response was, if the Lord is with us, because his thought was my people, the people of God, covenant people. It wasn't a me matter. So it wasn't a all of us are suffering. All of us are in captivity. That was the case. Ibolloa, where is he? The nearest passport fast. He said, no. No. No.
No. If the Lord is truly with us, he removed himself immediately from that equation and put God's covenant people there to show you why the angel found him in the first instance. He said, where are the miracles? Where are the signs? Where are the wonders that our fathers told us? Can that God not deliver again? And I can imagine the angels smiling and say, that's why I found you. That's why I found you. Not many people are thinking like this. Everybody's cursing about their own desire, about their own comfort, about their own escape.
But here you are also hiding but thinking kingdom. How about Esther? Just sit down there. Enjoying the palace. Thinking that if this Haman does this thing he wants to do. You think that you will go scot free. Esther said that I was born, I was put here for such a time as this. In other words, all the time I was beginning to enjoy and like 100 housemates cleaning my back. It wasn't for such a time as that. It was when deliverance of the Jews came.
That he recognizes why God put that there. So in as much as the comfort was there, it wasn't for thought a time as that. It was a thing would not have gotten. But she understood, it is for such a time like this. Was put here. So she knew that the Jews must not be erased. If her man had successfully wiped off the Jews, salvation has ended. Do you understand what I'm saying? So even God had to put someone whose heart would wait for his kingdom as a queen. So look at it.
Everyone God was raising. There was an aspect of kingdom in their hearts. So when God came to Solomon, that was why Absalom's kingdom had to die. Because it was never about the kingdom. It was about himself, about revenge, about hatred for his father, everything he was building had self attached to it. Why did you not judge Hamon? Why did you not rebuke Hamon? He was all about himself, anger, offense. That was why he want the leadership. And he built it.
To show you that people outside of God are thinking that you can build wealth. It's not a strange thing. It's in scripture. It's in scripture. And do you know the devil has studied? And brought in counselors from his father's camp that would advise him to even show him how it would work. Because if you are going in the same direction as the devil, he doesn't need to fight you. He will encourage you. He will give you people to help you. Farm the flames.
When Solomon came, God came to him. God was checking his heart. And the man said, I've noticed all through history that you are most concerned about your people. That even when you lifted people, it was so that they could preserve your people. When you raised Moses, it was so that he could deliver your people. I've seen it. Just give me wisdom to judge your people. God said, oh, you have tapped into this thing enough to know. Then if that is the case, with that wisdom would come everything that follows wisdom, riches, honor. It shows you that where wealth begins In this kingdom is alignment of your heart.
That the posture of your soul must be kingdom. That's why I told you, think giving more than you think receiving. That's why the Bible says it is more blessed to give than it is to receive. The question is, is it not a man who has received that will give? But the bible still says, it is more blessed to give than it is to receive. Do you understand what trying to say? You know what Paul said? Paul said, let him now steal. Steal no more. How was he stealing?
He was stealing so that he could hit. You would think the resting Paul will say that, let him walk that he might hit. Paul say, let him walk that he might have. To give. It means the reason why we work is even to give. The purpose of work is to give. So that you would not have an excuse for why he could not give. God said let him work that he might have to give. Okay, so we want to have a building project, let him work that he might have to give. That nobody would have an excuse for why he could not give, let him work.
That's what Jesus says. So a man would respect your finances, be thinking giving. Don't think full stuff. Don't think the full stuff. That's what is holding you down. It's your stomach. Lemons and cucumber. That's what is holding you down. The stock fish, the kumbas we eat in Egypt, the lemons we eat in Egypt, the onions we eat in Egypt. If we were living the way God is blessing us.
I do not lack. And we push serious resources into the kingdom. Giving as though there is no tomorrow. Giving as though there is no tomorrow. Because I am blessed. If I can successfully bring you out of survival, out of a place where you are thinking about, oh you wait, this is my stomach. The Bible says whose God is their belly? God is their belly. If we can bring you out of there, means you have successfully finally left Egypt. You have successful.
Survival has broken out of your mind. That there is nothing that your heart cannot give. You think that those who give, give because we have so much. There are plenty of times we have given, we have lived on faith all through the month. Because there was nothing else. And we give everything. Glory to God. When you give everything. And that was the heart that God saw. The heart that was only particular about his kingdom.
Right now there is nothing we believe God for. Nothing. That doesn't come. It doesn't come. Don't be too peculiar about the car. Be more concerned about giving. Then the car would come. Then a house would come. Are you in front of this? All these things, it will be added.
It has to be added. Do you understand, Trans? So, what God saw in Solomon was a heart for the kingdom. And that heart for the kingdom, renowned made God give to Solomon wisdom. This wisdom I want to start sharing with you now. This was the foundation I brought it to. Because if we are talking about the kind of wealth that we are talking about, you have to understand you cannot be thinking self. Cannot be thinking what? Self. If you're going to teach you how to live this life, you must understand.
Just to get to a point of repentance in your heart. That God, I've genuinely been more concerned about myself than your house. Do you know what David did? David said the zeal, the zeal. Not a physical house. The zeal to ensure that your kingdom come. It has consumed me. It has eaten me up. So much so, he gave the most for the building of Tabernacle even though he will not build it. Even though it may even be built in his own time.
He still gave the most to it. Some of you need to go and research how much he gave into this war in dollars. And you will be shocked what you find out. What he gave? I'm too concerned about myself. Too concerned. I've become my own God, but I've placed myself on the center. Too much. Too much. Even though I tell myself that it's not true.
The truth is, it is true. Hallelujah to God. Amen. It's true. And God has to help your heart. It's not something you do of your own energy. It's something you bend your heart and say God help me. You just tell God to help you. He's the one that will work on your heart. And you align yourself.
To get there. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? To get to a place where you begin to do the bidding of God. And doing God's bidding does not mean abandoning your career, it does not mean abandoning your business, abandoning your studies to come and sit highly in church. No. Unless you are called in the full time minister and even that has a definition. Doing God's bidding and seeking his purposes means seeking his kingdom in whatever field that he places you. So as a student, excelling with integrity positions you for influence. As a business person, building with fairness, with vision, it attracts divine favor to you. As a professional, working with diligence and excellence makes you a custodian of wealth.
Matthew six thirty three says, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. All these things will be added. These things that the Gentiles seek after, the silver, the gold, the influence, the possessions. God says, while they are chasing it, I will be handing it to you. The labor, the amass, but then I will shift it. I'll transfer it to you. Your obsession ends up serving your own alignment to God. Yeah. Obsession ends up serving your own alignment to God. Are you with me?
Sir. Is by divine addition, by transfer. The kings of this earth will work year by year. And you like Solomon will be positioned to receive what they have worked for. Not because you pursued wealth, but because you pursued God. That is the wisdom that triggers birth transfer. Are you with me? Yes sir. Proverbs chapter three and verse 13 to verse 16, the Bible says, happy is the man who finds wisdom. And the man who gives understanding for her proceeds are better than the profit of silver.
And again than fine gold. She's more precious than rubies and all the things you may desire cannot be compared with her. Length of days is in her right hand. And in her left hand, riches and honor. So wisdom naturally carries witches and honor in her hands. And when you pursue wisdom, you are pursuing the very force that produces wealth. The conclusion of all I'm saying that when you align your heart to God's purposes, then it supplies wisdom. Are you with me? And that wisdom is supplies is what brings wealth, is what brings honor, is what brings riches. So whenever God wants to launch a man into wealth, he orchestrates economic shifts that empower that man into wealth.
In alignment with his principles. In the days of Esther, Amman was filled with hatred for the Jews. So he manipulated the king's authority. He a nest influence and positioned himself as the chief power broker of Persia. He was the king's next in line and the most trusted adviser of the king. But when heaven was moving following this divine intelligence, like I showed you on Sunday, Aman's estate, Aman's influence, Even all his property and wealth were transferred unto Esther and unto Mordecai. Esther chapter eight and verse one and verse two. The Bible says on that day, King Assyrios gave queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king for Esther told how he was related to her. So the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai.
And Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman. That's a transfer. That's not just deliverance from destruction. I hope you know. That's a transfer. That the wealth, the authority, and the house of the enemy became the inheritance of God's covenant people. God is shaking the earth for your sake. Look at the story of the lepers in second Kings chapter seven. There is an intelligence here. And there is an intelligence in the stool of the lepers.
That made for this transfer. Like I've told you, it's not just random. It's not the transfer is not just spontaneous. There is wisdom. Wherever you see transfer happening, look for wisdom. Look for knowledge. Look for joy. Because that is how you begin to position your own self. For the same thing to happen to you. Are you with me?
So in... And we'll look at it. We'll look for it. In the story of the lepers, in second Kings verse seven, Israel was in famine, and the economy had collapsed on the siege. Yet in one night, God caused the Syrian army to flee, leaving their gold, leaving their silver, leaving their raiment, leaving their food, leaving their tents behind. At that point, there was about to be a transfer in fulfillment of the prophecy of Elisha. And four lepers who have been despised, who have been rejected, who have been cast out of society, who are the least likely candidates, were the first beneficiaries of this transfer. They went from starvation into abundance overnight because God redirected resources from the wicked into the hands of the rejected. And there's a wisdom there. It's not just spontaneous.
When you read the Bible, you find a man called Nehemiah. Nehemiah was not a priest, he wasn't a prophet, he wasn't a Levite, he was a government worker, he was a court bearer, a government worker, a civil servant. That's why I don't believe that there are some things that you do that cannot bring you wealth. You already got it. Someone brought me a video some time ago. Was laughing, showing me the video of someone who sells cars and was in an advertisement, he kept on saying that civil servants cannot afford this car. I just burst into laughter. Because Daniel was a civil servant. Joseph was a civil servant. Nehemiah was a civil servant.
All of them work under government for government. And all of them had the best resources. That money can buy. Nehemiah was even the worst. He was a cup bearer. That's the most ridiculous position a man can think of. Mordecai was a civil servant. Shadrach, Mishan, Abednego were civil servant. Working in government yet controlling government. Obviously, they were not poor because there was transfer of resources.
Are you with me? Nehemiah was a court bearer, but he was positioned to gain favor before the king. And that king released not only his permission, but he released timber, he released woods, he released resources, you think of it. The letters of authority to rebuild Jerusalem's wall. Everything was transferred to him. All that he needed. In Nehemiah two verse eight, the Bible says and the king granted me according to the good hand of God upon me. Wealth transfer by administrative favor, by organizational strategy. We'll get there very soon. A foreign king financing God's agenda.
While Nehemiah was the one executing it with diligence. Now I told you on Sunday that wealth transfer is not passive. It's not spontaneous. It doesn't just happen. It comes through positioning. It comes through readiness to act when God moves, when God begins to shake the systems. And listen to me, in the market place today, there are hammers who are still building empires. Men who mock God, who continue to rise in industries, gather influence, control economies. But the decree of heaven has still not changed. That their houses, their contracts, their systems, it will eventually serve the righteous.
It will eventually serve me. It will eventually serve you. The man Miles Monroe rose so much in this. Whilst he was alive, that kings of Gentile nation, kings of Muslim nation, president Would invite him over, paying him heavy resources, giving him presidential welcome. To come and speak to leaders, speak to kings. And everywhere he went, the resources of that land followed him back. You will not go there and then say, oh, I'm doing it for Jesus. You will collect the money. Say, oh, thank you so much for speaking to our leaders. Are so so we're...
No. No. No. I'm telling you. Unless you are prophet Elisha. And God has told you thou shall not collect. From Naaman. Glory to God. Otherwise, it is in the promise. That when wisdom is delivered, the forces must follow.
It is in the promise. Are you with me? Yes, sir. There are Hamans who are still building influence, and there must be believers who like Mordecai and Esther. They are able to discern the times. They are able to stay faithful in service. Remain unbending in righteousness. Learn strategic wisdom that turns the heart of kings to their favor. Orchestrating a transfer of resources. Glory to God.
Glory. Let me show you a few things very fast that I picked from that story of Mordecai and Esther. That I believe believers can glean from that was the oppression of wisdom that eventually built into the transfer of God that came. This is just a few things if I can finish it. I saw a lot of things, but I'll give you maybe three, four, five, or six wherever I can finish. Oh my. Okay, we'll do two. And then we move on to something else. Because I have to show you the three operations of wisdom in the language of believer. If we don't get there, that means this teaching is not done.
But this part is done because there is still more. So you go and study by yourself. Glory to God. A few things to see in the life of Mordecai and Esther that were operations of wisdom that they walked in. Divine wisdom that they walked in. But it is easy to miss. It is easy to skip it by. And all you will see is that, oh, there will be transfer that happened, and it now looks spontaneous. Are you with me? Yes.
And these things are lessons that believers can glean from and begin to posture your life by. The first is that both Esther and Modecai understood the wisdom of profitable alliances. Both Esther and Modecai understood the wisdom of what now? Alliances. Write down. Pay attention. Receive instruction. Allow your heart to be open. Allow yourself to be instructed. Glean wisdom from what I am saying.
The wisdom of what now? Esther did not enter into the palace and then forget our covenant people. No. She didn't just start living and enjoying life. She understood that she had an assignment that supersedes her own personal comfort, and she had an assignment to God's covenant people. Right? And when they needed to cause a major shift in governance, Esther told the people to join her in prayers. She understood that she could not do it alone. She understood that she would need to draw strength from the people. Mordecai also did not despise the influence and the access that Esther had.
They both walked in synergy. One with proximity to the throne, the other with discernment at the gate. In business and in the marketplace, this is what I call partnership capital. The wisdom to understand that you cannot rise alone. In other words, if you are Modecai by the gate, you might have the skills, you might have the smartness, the resume, the track record, but if you want to get to the top and become master over the house of a man, you must align align yourself with people who carry access, knowledge, and influence. Otherwise, just staying at the gate and praying whilst you are being faithful alone will not suffice. Suffice. There There must must be be esters you must partner with. Because whom the king recognized according to ester eight was Esther. Mordecai was promoted by the recommendation of Esther.
Despite Mordecai was the brain behind the work. Do you understand what I'm saying? It is wisdom to understand that realizing that there are people you will need on your path to success and greatness. It does not in any way suggest that you are acting out of faith. It is wisdom to understand this. So wisdom is not only knowing God, it is also stewarding relationships. Many believers pray. Many believers are asking for financial breakthrough, but they despise mentors. They mishandle relationship with their bosses at work. They isolate themselves from profitable networks and alliances that can lead them into breakthrough.
Listen to me. Wealth flows through people. People sign contracts. People give referrals. People give recommendations. Wealth flow through people. Wealth flows through partnerships. So a wise employee would build trust equity with his supervisors, with other employees, with managers, with bosses, because you have no idea where recommendations will come. A wise business owner not just partnerships, builds relationship with his clients or customers, protect his credibility. A wise student cultivate networks with peers who will become tomorrow's industry leaders, with lecturers even.
The difference between a student who passes and one that fails, many times is school they know. I'm telling you. You might not believe what I'm telling you, but it is as true as that. One just understood where to read. Doesn't make her more hardworking than the other one. But she has relationship, and the relationship have its benefit. Because he or she has taken some time to furnish that relationship. Are you with me? And on the way, helping the lecturer to pack his textbook and his laptop and his laptop bag, and he's going. He just chucked it and say, ah, so I've been paying for that test, and let's say, can study this, study this, and then it goes.
And ten hours of labor is reduced into three hours. Whereas, others, if you would now pass, it would not be determined by whether you now know him or not. Because it's enough that you don't have the access he has to the lecturer, but do you have access to him? This illustration applies in business, applies in life, applies in ministry. This is how ministerial doors open. Believe it or not, true men, true relationships, true favor, through recommendations. Do you understand what I'm teaching you? Through networks, wealth transfer happens through networks. Listen, it is wisdom to know that God may not give you direct access to the king, but he can position you near someone who does. And you must understand how to furnish that relationship.
That wisdom is something you must invest into. It's something you must invest else. Well, it will skip you by. It will be passing your front like this. Whereas you know people who knows people, who knows people. Life is not so terrible that you have to suffer for everything. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. There is someone who can push your business idea to the right corridors, but it is wisdom to sustain and to maintain relationships. Otherwise, you would misunderstand what I'm saying as using people to rise.
It's not the same thing. That is foolishness. It will make people hate you, push you away. It will create distance between you and people. Helpers will hate you because you don't have wisdom. Your concept of connection and relationships, just use it. Let me use you to get what I want, use you to get what I want, use it to rise, use it to climb. Because there's no wisdom. That's why it is something you have to invest into. God has to give you, and you have to invest in it.
Glory to God. That you learn the wisdom of advantageous connections. Learn the wisdom of partnership capital that I cannot rise alone. I need to invest in profitable relationships with people in my field of influence. That was what Nehemiah did. He leveraged favor with the king. Connections and systems to channel resources into kingdom purposes. It was a pagan king that he had access to that gave him the resources to build the kingdom of God, the house of God. A pagan king. The money from believers.
It came from a pagan king because he knew the king. And this is where believers often fail because we have so much boxed ourselves in a circle that we have limited and confined our wisdom with dealing with people to only people within our bracket of influence. That when we meet people who do not go to the same church as we do, who do not subscribe to the same mindset and beliefs as we do, we don't have the wisdom to know how to relate with them. Whereas they might hold the answers to your next level, but because they are not believers, they don't go to the same church as you do. The guy might be a Muslim. He might even be an atheist, but he's in the marketplace and he's rising there. It is wisdom to be able to know how to relate with people who might not subscribe to the same values as you without checking your conviction. Yet your convictions remain intact. Read your bible and you will see this again and again. Joseph served Potiphar and never bowed to his God.
Potiphar's wife wanted to sleep with him. He said, how can I do this and sin against the lord? My god. It means I have a good partnership with your boss, but I've not yet bowed and submitted my my convictions enough to weaken my values and begin to sleep with you. It might be a deal allowed in this context, but the fact that I am here does not mean my values are here. I know the wisdom to relate with every man where they are. Doesn't mean that my values shake for nothing. Doesn't mean so. Doesn't mean so. Because you'll find yourself in places where you need those people to rise.
You will need men. You better understand my grammar. You will need men, and you must have the wisdom That God gives to relate with them without weakening your conviction. Bowing down to bow. You must learn the wisdom. Are you with me? I've not said too much on this. If you don't have that wisdom, learn it. Because I promise you a lot of believers don't. They are judgmental by default.
A lot of believers do not. Someone don't subscribe to your values, your heart has tuned off already. In this world we live in, that means nothing. Because you must understand, the Bible says you are in the world. The difference, they are not of the world. It means the world must not sip into you. But you must acknowledge the fact that you are there. This thing affects students who cannot pass. Because they don't have the right relationships. They prefer to study alone and they study and they fail.
You say it's it's my own method. Oh, God, shut up. I can't feel you will be your method. Can't you think well? Glory to God. There is wisdom to furnish that relationship without compromising your values. So when God says he will give wisdom, this is part of the wisdom he gives. So that when you get to the prison, you know the wisdom of relationships. Because the person that will announce you to Pharaoh might just be your friend in the prison. Might just be your friend in the prison.
Do you have the wisdom to sustain that relationship? Or do you fight with everybody and say, you know what? God told me that the season of polymorphism is over. God just told me it's over. That's why we both have to go our our separate ways because the season is over. If you did not fight, would the season have been over? If he gave you 5,000,000 yesterday, would the season be over? So which God is speaking to you because you lack wisdom? Wisdom of conflict resolution, wisdom of relationship management that you don't have, you are blaming it on God's sake. Better go and apologize, I'm sorry, his own.
Your pride and your ego is speaking to you, say God said. Glory to God. Amen. The second thing I saw was that Modica understood the wisdom of information leverage. The wisdom of what now? Because when he discovered the plot against the king in Exodus two and verse 22, he passed the information immediately. That salvaged the kingdom, saved the king's life. So a major problem for the kingdom, partly through Esther. He did not halt knowledge. He used knowledge to strategically secure relevance.
In the marketplace, you must understand. In the same vein that information is currency. You have to be the employee who sees the trends, who understands data, who spots risks by studying facts, and communicate wisely so that you can become indispensable. In business, you have to be the entrepreneur who studies market shifts so they can position before others do and turn your insight into influence. The bible says that in the day that the book of remembrance was opened, it was the information that he delivered that planted his name in the heart of the king. A believer should not be far from knowledge, especially your field of influence. Do you realize that it would have been careless for him not to have known that detail because that was literally his field of influence. He was by the gate. It means any access into the king's palace would go through him. So to not know what was about to sabotage the kingdom would have been irresponsible on his own part.
Do you understand what I'm saying? It means you have to be the kind of employee who is so valuable. There must be wisdom that God will put in your heart. Wisdom. For that specific problem and situation, the prayers you pray is that God will create a problem or give people a problem that only you can solve. It makes you very valuable. Makes you very valuable. Imagine God gives the world a problem that the answer is only your mind. Wasn't that Joseph Rose? You don't start complaining.
You immediately wisdom. This is how wealth transfer works. Ah, they want to kill me. Develop a system. The answer is inside view. The bible said God gives it. God gives it. There is wisdom that God supplies. That's how where transfer happens. That's how people become valuable beyond their salary.
Because somebody invested in studying. Go and get knowledge. Study wise has not been working. Understand what must now start working. What must you do? Put yourself in it. It is your field of influence. It will be irresponsible to not know. Mudukkah was manning the gates. When information passed by, it caught it instantly when books were to be opened.
And the day will come when books will be opened. And they will now call that guy's name and say, hey. We we remember that we've been struggling. We will make this amount of money, and he just came in, and he brought this idea and pow, just like that. Really? Alright. Let him be the one who recommend to go to The US. Let him be the one who recommend to you. That's how it happens. That's how it happens.
You want someone to go for a training in Dubai. Who can we sponsor? Ah, brother, man. That's how it happens. And the bible says God gives wisdom. So that when you read it, you would know exactly what we are trying to say. This is not my teaching. I'm just trying to show you some things in scriptures that makes you see that the eventual transfer was not spontaneous. It's not really where I'm going. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
Sir. Wasn't spontaneous. And I can show you all true scriptures. Marketplace wisdom you would find as you study. And you'll be humbled at the intelligence. The third thing you'd see in the life of Esther and Mordecai is that Mordecai understood the wisdom of visibility without compromise. That though he sat at the king's gate, in Esther chapter two and verse 21, he did not blend into the system by losing his integrity, by losing his identity. Are you with me? Because a lot of things happen at the gate. A lot of things happen at the gate.
He wants to get to the top. The top is where he's going, but he's starting his career at the gate. And at that gate, you would find lots of people with different agendas also at the gate. He would be the one to later replace Haman to become the king's adviser. Is that not so? And the king will remove his signature and put it on his heart. Is that not so? But he's starting his career at the gate. There is something to learn from there. That where his career started from is at the gate.
And at that gate, given the different types of people, categories of people all having their own agendas, all almost serving the God of Israel, yet he retained his sanity, retained his credibility, his conviction all through. As a believer, if you find yourself at the gate, you must be faithful at the gate. Don't become too engrossed with where it is God is taking you to that you lose sight of faithfulness because of where you are right now. He was faithful in his duty, but remained bold about his convictions. This is the balance every believer in the marketplace must carry. Faithfulness in your role gives you credibility, And conviction preserves your distinctiveness. In the marketplace, it means you have to be that employee that delivers excellent results always. Yet, you refuse to cheat. You refuse to cut corners. You refuse to shift your values.
At the end of the day, you will build trust as a capital. I will eventually speak louder than whatever politics happens in that field of influence. But I might be starting at the gate, But I will build faithfulness and consistency until I get to where God is taking me to, and I will not lower my values because there are different kinds of people there. Listen to me. When you start at the gate, in any field of influence, that is where it is easiest to lose your values. And you have to insist. You have to have the wisdom that even whilst I'm building relevance, I must not lose my credibility, I must not lose my conviction. Mordecai had this wisdom. Much like Daniel, who said we'll not corrupt ourselves with the king's foot. Are you waiting brothers and sisters?
Yeah. People will mock your values at the gate. That's the only place they can mock your values. By the time the king puts his signet ring in your hand, those same people who are mocking your values will look at you and have to bow down. Yeah. Because the next time they saw Modecai passing, all of them at that same gate bow down to him. Was that not what... Do you understand what I'm saying? That's the reason why you should not lose your convictions there. You should never.
Let me give you one more. Listen to me. Esther understood the wisdom of preparation before opportunity arises. Esther understood what now? Before approaching the king, for instance, she spent days in prayers, days in fasting. Do you know that even before she was chosen as a queen, she endured months of grooming and preparation? Esther two and verse 12, before she was presented to the king? Months of grooming, months of preparation, and she gave herself to that training because she understood that you would not just appear at the gate of destiny and demand substance from destiny without having prepared for it. Without having prepared for it. She understood timing.
She understood excellence in presentation. Many believers in the marketplace want sudden elevation, but refuse grooming, refuse to improve their skills, refuse to improve their communication, refuse to improve on their networking skills, on their dressing, on their packaging, different things. And so they appear so unprepared when destiny appears. So unprepared. Now when they start negotiating, they can lose millions of money that would have been theirs because they cannot negotiate. That would have been theirs because he cannot speak well. He cannot demand for his right. He cannot sell his value in a way that convinces someone else that they should pay that amount of money for that value. His heart is weak. He has not built capacity whilst he's at the gate.
He has not built any kind of capacity, but he wants breakthrough. And he wants success, and he wants all these things. But I haven't given himself to any form of preparation. Isn't building with consistency enough? It was Esther's readiness that made her irresistible when her kairos moments came. Her readiness, her preparedness. In career, this is continuous professional development. In business, it is building capacity quietly until the doors open. Not just when the investment comes, not just when the investor comes and gives you a 100,000,000 or 200,000,000 or you sign a contract and then you realize how unprepared you are. Time spent preparing is never a waste.
Never a waste. Time spent what? Is never a waste. Some years ago, there was an Olympic competition that a young man came to. And he was swimming. He was an athlete and he was swimming. He was swimming. And they arranged them before the pool, and they were all waiting for the gun. They had all taken their posture, waiting for the gun to sound, and then they would jump into the water. Whilst they had ready and all of them bent down, the old man slipped and fell into the water and was disqualified because he had no head, the sound of a gunshot was disqualified.
And it was a crowd of thousands of people representing his nation Before thousands of people. And thousands of people that were there felt pity for him, felt, you know, as though ah, this guy didn't even have the opportunity to even show him a just a simple mistake and he was disqualified. And the crowd started chanting, started speaking on his behalf, started all kind of things. And what would not happen on a normal day, they decided to make happen for him. And I said, you know what? We'll give you another opportunity to join. And they gave him the opportunity to start again. With others. And this time around, he was patient. And the gun shot loud.
Everybody jumped including him. And he was using all his strength to ensure that he finished first. By the time he was done, the person who finished first was already collecting his award. You hear me? This is the real life stories. It's in the Olympics. Listen. And you begin to wonder in the face of opportunity, what really ever happens that you've already made a stupid mistake, disqualified yourself, and now you have an opportunity again before you to start, and then you now show your ill preparedness that someone running away from the crocodile can even swim better than that. Nothing. It is why it is said that there is no time spent preparing that is a waste.
Absolutely no time. All you might have might be five minutes to show ten years of preparation. And that five minutes can change fifty years of your life. This thing you have been... You might just go for a conference. And then you just see, oh, I'm supposed to have told us to network and meet people. And you go meet somebody and tell them about yourself and ask, what do you do? Oh, I'm building this. I'm building that. And then tell me about it.
And the person is interested and is asking you facts. Wanting to see if it is something that you can invest in. Asking you questions about your... Have you conducted a feasibility report? What did you find out? And then there you start stuttering, and all that is left is passion without value. Passion that has not been refined. Passion that has not studied. Passion that has not invested time in what he's passionate about. I believe it will work.
I know it will work. That's all that there is. Are you beginning to wonder? What would have been a salvation for your generation and your ancestry in a single contract, in a single take my ID, come and meet me in my office, would become, wow, good work you are doing. Good work you are doing. Keep it up. Keep it up. And you would not know that that was a Kairos moment because they don't come announcing themselves. They don't come announcing themselves. Are you with me brothers and sisters?
So for Esther and for Mordecai, when the words came, it was natural. Amman's estate, Amman's influence, Amman's authority flowed into Mordecai's hands. But that transfer was not random. It was not spontaneous. It was the harvest of years of visibility, years of integrity, years of information stewardship, years of preparation, years of alliances, building relationships, consistency. This is the wisdom that you see governing wealth transfer. The wisdom that govern wealth transfer. For over six or seven people in scriptures. And you would see that it was not spontaneous. Why all nations complain of unemployment?
Young people are lamenting that there are no jobs. People are building wealth through wisdom. In your office when colleagues are wasting time, gossiping. You can be learning new systems that position you for your next promotion. While on the... As squandering money. You could be giving, saving, diversifying, and preparing for when the land and the houses and the business change ownership. Because every crisis, every layoff, every policy shift is a signal of resources melting from one place into another. The question is, are you rightly positioned? Because wealth transfer is the consistent pattern of God.
Amman falls, Modica rises. Syrians flee and lepers inherit. Kings release, Nehemiah's build. It is always a transfer. The same God still rules over economies today. The same God. His agenda has not changed one bit. The only problem is would you position yourself? And in doing so, there are three levels of wisdom that I want to show you. In one minute or two.
That a man must have that positions him for wealth transfer. The first is the wisdom for creative ideas. God is the one who gives it. The wisdom for what now? In the King James version, Proverbs chapter eight and verse 12, the Bible says, I wisdom dwell with prudence. And find out the knowledge of witty inventions. Witty inventions doesn't just mean inventions as in invention of vehicles and all these things. No. With inventions there in the Hebrew actually means creative ideas. So some other parts call it, I find out the knowledge of...
Is it discernment? Now some use discernment, some use different things. Because it isn't speaking just of creating something or inventing something. It is speaking in terms of ideas. Are you with me? Yes. Creative ideas, innovations, solutions that others cannot see that solves real problems. That when God wants to introduce you into wealth transfer and he gives you wisdom, that wisdom manifests as creative ideas that others cannot see. Now God opens your eyes to see that solves real life problems. The wisdom of Joseph was not just in interpreting the dream that Pharaoh had.
It was in coupling revelation with administration. Genesis 41 verse 33, it says now therefore, let Pharaoh look at a man, discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. That is with inventions. That is creative ideas. The wisdom for solutions, for innovations. And that single idea turned Egypt into the world's economic headquarters. Wealth shifted. Nations brought silver. Nations brought gold. Nations brought land.
Nations even brought themselves into Egypt's system because one man released a God inspired idea. That means for you, this wisdom as a creative idea that transfers wealth could mean you seeing the unemployment rate of gifted and skilled people in Africa and designing a digital platform that connects skillful people to clients looking for them. That can be a creative idea that God supplies in the mind of the man. It could mean that whilst you're serving an employee, you observe the inefficiency in your office and you create a system that saves the company money, making yourself indispensable. That you solve problems that they say we have been dealing with this, having this issue, and because you are there, wisdom that forces what's transfer, that others can lose their job and you would keep yours. They wouldn't even beg you to keep yours because you are that much valuable. It could mean that an entrepreneur, for instance, you observe the gaps in agriculture, like post harvest losses, and then you build a cold chain logistics that can attract investors. And you say, my goodness. I believe this is the solution solving a problem, an actual problem. Creative ideas.
It could mean something in the real estate world. It could mean something academia. It could mean something entertainment. It's not that you do what others are doing. Whether or not you can do it, God is the one that gives it. God opens your eyes to see a problem and says, you solve this. Go and observe through scriptures. This is how it happens. When God wants to raise you as a Moses to deliver a generation, it does not mean that you are a deliverance minister. It could mean that there's an idea that unlocks possibilities to a generation that otherwise would not have known.
And life would have been difficult because nobody would have thought that they even wanted freedom from it. God opens your eyes and you see that as a problem, and you create a solution that everybody now suddenly needs. That's what Facebook is. That's what WhatsApp is. That's what the media is. But you know what people do? We just look. What is everybody doing? And then we jump at it. That's not how weight transfer works.
God gives wisdom. What's everybody doing? Ah, my friend, all of them on social media. They are putting camera on their face. Let me just start. Let me just start. Hello, everybody. I don't even know what to say today. I'm just here, but my name is Adanwa, and I'm your... I will...
I'll be showing you all of my life. Please follow me like I'm following. I'll share. No value whatsoever. Everybody is doing it. Let me join them. Everybody is doing it. Let me join them. And then they come. They bring another one again.
They say, oh, this this one. This is where people... Everybody is going. Oh, hey. If you don't join... I don't want to be so let me keep... Let me not send. And then he's there. He's there. Because what he's chasing is money.
He's not yet chasing purpose. He's not yet chasing kingdom. And so his heart cannot be open to see wisdom. Because in the day God ask you, what do you want? And you say, is wisdom I want? I don't... That's the day this kind of wisdom opens up to you. Your eyes just opens that I can do this. We can we can start this. We can launch this out.
We can move like this. I can create this. This is a problem I'm seeing in an area. It might be a problem Nigeria has, Africa has. It might even be a problem in your immediate environment. It It might even be a problem you have. Yes, sir. Because if you have it, chances are ten percent of the population of the world has it. And then God opens your eyes to show you how you will solve it. Do know people have become millionaires like this?
Millionaires like this. A group of, I think, two or three people, ladies and one other guy, got to an event and realized that it is so difficult for them to change shoes every time. Understand? Just imagine that what if I had one shoe that I could just replace the heel side of it? It It was a problem she was having, and they were having. And then boom. Problem became a product. Millions of dollars in sales. That's how wealth transfer happens. That God will give me a solution for you.
That I will start and bring out of myself that will solve a problem you have. That will make you consider that solution more valuable than the money you have. And you will give me the money you have to take the solution I'm offered. That is how well transfer works. And bible says, God gives wisdom. God gives what now? Wisdom. So if you're the real estate and God has sent you there, contend for wisdom. Contend for wisdom. Something that God will show you.
You will see it. It will stand you out. To stand you out. It might be you are selling houses. You can start from the gate. That's the gate. Oh, I'm not the owner of this house. I'm selling it as a realtor for people who have built. Once you are there, wisdom can still be opening to you. God can still be showing you things.
Do you understand what trying to say? Yes, sir. I was speaking to a young man, and he was telling me about someone in development real estate. And he develops buildings just like every other person does. But his eyes just open to see something that in the media space, there are not many people creating content that educates people about buildings. Just normal household problems. For instance, you see cracks on your walls. Why is there a crack on your wall? Or you see just issues that bricklayers would give people and they would find it in their houses and they would not see anyone to solve it or understand what is happening. Or you see water leaking somewhere.
Or you see your decking. Water is gathering somewhere. And he says, why people are not educated? He starts his own channel. Still constructing, but building a brand up for himself. Educating people. Educating people. Different ideas, different ideas. He goes to a site, educates them. This is what we are doing.
This is why they put this in your house. So if your bricklayer is telling you this and that and that and that, tell him this and that and that. And people started gathering. He built so much credibility doing that. The course of the credibility he has built and the authority he shows in knowledge. Taking advantage of a gap that he had seen. Are you with me? That he had seen. A lot of people begin to recommend him and say, you know what, do this, do this. And the young man said, he has signed contracting multiple billions.
Because he started that. Multiple billions. Not because he was just building, because he started, there was something that he was shown. Or that he saw. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? For... The fact that I've said, the Lord may go and do the same thing. That's not the moral lesson. But it gives an idea of what I'm trying to tell you. Rise up on your feet.
Thank you Lord Jesus. Can you pray in one minute? Open my eyes to see. You see, let me let me tell you something. Let me tell something. Do you know that when the power of God comes upon people, these are the things God shows you. Especially if you are in the marketplace, these are the things God shows you. When the power of God comes upon people in meetings, that's why we tell people, don't be quick to stand up because your eyes will see. Wisdom is supplied. God shows you something.
You'll receive energy for deployment. I might not have the time to talk about this again. The third dimension of wisdom, I'll skip the second. No. No. No. I'm not teaching you. Just listen. Is wisdom for execution. There is wisdom for execution.
A lot of people don't know this. That is one thing to have seen is another thing to have the wisdom to execute. So you'd pray. Now, you'd pray now. And the prayer is that God opens the eyes of your understanding to see. Because this is how you provision yourself to receive of what God is doing. This is how you position yourself. Wisdom is give God gives wisdom. God gives wisdom. The Bible says if any man lacks wisdom, let him ask.
Can you ask for wisdom and say, open my eyes that I might see. Open my eyes that I might see. Hear me? Me? Do you know that there is wisdom to also see what you are doing wrong? Someone met with me and I was talking to the person and I told the person, person was sharing with me what they want to do and I said, this is not it. This is not it. I could tell him my spirit. This is not it. The way you are going about it is not it.
This is not the strategy. Still go and pray. God will show you. There is wisdom to know that I have to I have to change things. It's it's wisdom. That's how well transfer happens. In thirty seconds, I want you to close your eyes and mean what you're saying. And say, show me. Show me. Holy spirit help me.
