Transcript: Positioning Yourself For Wealth Transfer Part 1

Listen to this message

Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

The experience is a meeting organized by the Disciples Christian Network. Be a man encounter God, his presence, and his power in an atmosphere of worship and the word. Join apostle Emmanuel as he leads us into an experience with God. The church that is inspired by a vision that I saw at the beginning of this year, and I was reminded of this vision again in prayers, hence the charge. I'll do a proper teaching on this in days to come, but first, have a charge. And my intention is so that we should pray with that charge because there is a steering in the spirit. Come on, be seated. There is a steering in the spirit and it is so strong. It's steering. I saw the sky heavy with rain.

The kind of rain that does not ask for permission before it falls. The atmosphere that I saw was was was thick. It was already changing. You could tell that something had shifted in the heavens. Then I saw containers scattered across the land. Some were wide open, set in the open field, some positioned where the rain would naturally meet them. Some were small, but they were placed intentionally as though their owners understood that a little vessel in the right position can collect more than a large vessel in the wrong place. But the container The container that troubled me the most was not the one that was broken. In fact, I saw different variants of containers and vessels. Some were positioned in the open field.

Some were carefully positioned under places that would become waterfalls. Almost as though the people who position them had known that when they reinforce, this place becomes a waterfall. So to be easier, Some position. It it was just several things I saw. But there was something that troubled me out of all the components I saw. It wasn't the ones that were broken. It wasn't the ones that were useless. It was not even the one that was closed even though all of them were dangerous. What troubled me was the container that I saw that was open, that was huge in fact, but was inside a room. It was hidden.

It was out of alignment with what heaven was releasing. It had no contact with the rain that was about to fall. The rain was coming, but the container would remain dry. Not because the rain refused to fall, but because its position disqualified it from reception. And the spirit pressed this sentence into my heart. That resources are moving, that power is shifting hands. I saw wealth moving. I saw resources shifting. I saw streams of influence, of capital, of access, of opportunities moving. And it's not moving randomly.

It's not moving chaotically. It's not moving. It's moving deliberately. Like a river that has been redirected. Like water that has been running one way for many years, and then then suddenly, the channel changes, and it begins to flow somewhere else. I saw the flow change. I saw resources that had been sitting in certain lands, in certain parts, in certain systems, in certain structures, beginning to move, beginning to transfer, beginning to find their ways into different containers, different places, different people. And again, something struck me. What struck me wasn't the magnitude of what was moving because indeed it was great. What struck me was the containers.

Because it looked as though the containers were being chosen. They were prepared containers. They were positioned containers. Vessels that had been made ready for that exact moment. And the resources where I saw were not flowing to the most educated. The resources that I saw were not flowing to the most celebrated. They were not flowing to the most connected in a natural sense. They were flowing to anyone who was positioned, anyone who was there. Those who had positioned themselves. Those who had the wisdom to understand that when the rain comes, the wise man does not stand in the open field with an empty hand with nothing to gather rain inside.

Those who understand that he must find the container, and then he places the container carefully in the direction that will gather the most rain. And when the rain comes, it's filled. Others are still running to find something to catch the water in, but it's filled. Because rain can be falling, and a man can still be dry if he insists on staying where the rain does not reach him. And this is where we right now. This is the exact moment we are standing in right now. And the Lord told me that the next great wealth transfer has begun. It's not beginning. It's already begun. And it takes you to be very carefully positioned to benefit of what the Lord is doing or what the Lord is saying in this season.

There is a moving of resources. Lord told me power is changing hands. My wife's shifting hands. Cut off your loins, saith the Lord. Because power is shifting out. He said I'm the Lord that removes kings and set up kings. There's a removing of kings and a setting off of kings that is happening in different sectors of influence. Even in the mountain of religion, this is happening. I'm not sure that people who you have known are losing their influence. No.

But that there are those that you have never heard about who have grown in influence because there is a transfer, a shift. It's a shift of influence, a shift of access. But my emphasis today primarily is a shift of finances and a shift of wealth. That's really that really is my emphasis. A shift of finances and a shift of wealth. Now like I said, though if you are sensitive to the spiritual and the news you are hearing all around the world right now, you can tell that something is happening. You might not able to depend on how sharp on your accuracy is, be able to give words to exactly what is happening. But when you see the news and when you see exactly the things that are unfolding across the world, it's obvious something is happening. The debates, the arguments, the unfoldings, the revelations, it's obvious that something is happening. The wise believers in moments like this lock themselves up in a retreat and ask the Lord, what are you saying?

What are you saying? Because the Bible says that the men of Issachar understood times and seasons to know what Israel ought to do. In times like this, the question that a believer begins to ask is what what high to do? What what high to do? The shift is already in motion. The river is changing course. The transfer is happening. Because scripture has declared that the hand of the Lord is moving it. The question is not whether it will happen. The question is whether you will be prepared and positioned when it arrives.

Whether you would have the container ready. Whether you'll be standing at the right place with the right preparation, with the right heart, at the right time. Proverbs chapter 13 and verse 22. The Bible says, a good man leaves an inheritance for to his children's children, for the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous. God, you see, does not allow resources to be trapped forever in the hands that uses them to sponsor darkness because money is not neutral. Once money enters into human hands, money takes on the shape of whoever wields it. Money is only neutral when nobody holds it. The moment it steps into human hands, money takes on a character. Are you with me? Yes, sir.

Outside human influence, money is neutral. But the moment it enters into human hands, the moment it is controlled and regulated by a human being, money takes on a character. You have to understand that wealth amplifies whatever spirit controls it. Money in the hands of the righteous becomes a tool of rescue, becomes a tool of building, of expansion, of legacy. Morn in the hands of a wicked man becomes a weapon of corruption, exploitation, oppression, rebellion. Because when money enters the equation, it's an amplifying factor. Money amplifies whatever was there, whatever tendency was there. If a man is wicked and you give him money, you have not blessed him. Because money will amplify wickedness. If a man is evil and you give him money, you have not helped him.

Money will amplify the evil. If a man is a rapist and you give him money, you have only funded his lustful habit to scale up in dimensions and in magnitudes. If a man is a thief and you give him money, you have only harmed him with weaponry to conduct armed robbery at the larger scale. If a man is corrupt, are you giving money? Money amplifies. It amplifies. It gives weight. It gives voice. If a man is righteous, and you give him money, it amplifies righteousness. It amplifies the love of Jesus.

If a man is selfish and you give him money, it amplifies. And that's the reason why the devil is intentional, very intentional about stopping wealth from getting into the hands of the righteous. And you have to understand, the bible says do not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. The devices and the schemes of the enemy doing this, in perpetuating this wickedness is diverse. Sometimes it brings lies that you can believe. And the moment a believer believes that lie, that deception is swayed away by that deception, he has already eliminated himself from financial flow. It makes the believer cheapen the value of money. It makes the believer misunderstand the concept of money so that the believer can become shameful whenever money is being discussed or whenever he has to hear about money in church. He feels as though he is out of place to discuss money in church, and you don't know that it's one of the devices of the enemy to keep a believer poor. It's a lie.

It is called deception. It's called deception. Because the devil knows that if I can find someone who is evil and give him money, he doesn't need my help. Money is an amplifying factor. Do you understand when the bible says that you cannot serve two masters, and he never said God and Lucifer? He never said God and the devil. Devil. He He never never said said God God and Satan. He said God and Mammon. I hope you know that God is an amplifying factor.

That's the reason why we say one with God is majority. It that is in you is greater because if I have God with me, it amplifies even my littlest of effort. That's the same way money is. And both of them are called gods you can worship. Ecclesiastes two and verse 26, the bible says, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in his sight. But to sinner, he gives the work of gathering and collecting. And he may give to him who is good before God. The sinner gathers. The sinner collects. The sinner builds up.

And then when God says it is time, he transfers. He goes to the one who is good before God, who is righteous. The sinner has been functioning without knowing it as a temporary order. An unconscious custodian gathering and collecting for a handover that was long decided even before he made his first dollar. You see, you need to understand that wealth is a force. And like every force, it moves the direction of the values of the person that holds it. It amplifies. It accelerates. It takes whatever is in the heart of who put up with it and it multiplies it. And if the heart of the person that puteth it is kingdom minded, then what we ought to do is to build temples, to build churches, to fund missions, to feed the poor, to advance the purposes of God, to give to the work of God, to give to the man of God, to give to those who do the work of God.

Is that not so? Yes, sir. But if the heart is wicked, if the heart is corrupt, if the heart is given to darkness, if the heart has rejected God and has embraced evil, then wealth does not restrain that wickedness. Wealth fuels it. Wealth funds it. It gives it rich. It gives it influence. It gives it access it could never have had without resources. And we have seen it that even in our world today, how the presence of money can create the conditions for evil to hide and to grow. When the powerful are protected by influence, when networks are funded by wealth, when silence can be purchased, when access can be bought, wickedness can simply multiply under the shadow of respectability.

That is the headlines of recent have been filled with revelations of illite abusing and exploiting the weak. The world has just recently heard the name Jeffrey Epstein. And what that name represents, what the documents surrounding his life and his network are beginning to expose as they are slowly unsealed is a picture of wealth in the hands of the wicked. That's exactly what wealth in the hands of the wicked looks like in its most grotesque form. When you read that document, you read everything that his life has been unveiling. This is what somebody dedicated his life to. Here was a man who accumulated extraordinary wealth, billions of dollars, multiple properties, private islands, private jets, add everything, access to the most powerful people in the world. Politicians, royalties, business leaders, celebrities, heads of states, prime ministers. You mentioned it. He had all the actors he could speak of.

He moved in rooms that ordinary people never entered. He had influence that most people never achieve in their life. And what did you do with it? Used it to traffic children. Used the private to create a world that operated outside the reach of the law, outside the reach of accountability, outside the reach of justice. Used his wealth to build a system, a sophisticated, carefully maintained system that exploited the most vulnerable, that violated the most innocent, that satisfied the most deprived appetites of men who had the resources to purchase it. It. Only one who can do They're system, were broken through that system. And that system operated for decades because money bought the violence. Money bought the law.

Money Money multiplied multiplied wickedness. Wickedness. Money Money bought bought lawyers. Lawyers. Money bought access to the corridors of power where justice should have been dispensed but was suppressed by silence. And when discussions arise around the documents and the files connected to the scandals at the Epstein case, it shows that these are the aurals that become possible when money and power are governed by darkness. And and that's only what we know about. How about the savior that might never be revealed? Appetites of the flesh depraved appetite of the flesh. Money makes it accessible.

Money makes a man who is already wicked in his heart to have thoughts that he would never be able to think, but eventually money was not there. I read about them not mention their name. Some groups of people who rose so much in wealth and an influence. Walked in the corridors of power. Walked the loyalty of men with money. And when their orders were being unsealed, it was obvious how they lived their lives. That these were the kind of appetites that an average human being, you can't even originate it in your mind. They saw bodies of women dead in their numbers, in their homestead. And all the women had something in common. They had cuts in different parts of their bodies.

Openings in their stomach, legs, different parts. When asked, what is this? One of the males who walked there confessed and said, oh, this is only one of the many horrors of these people. When they are tired of intercourse in the normal openings, they begin to cut their own openings. Eat feminine bodies to gratify their own self. How do you begin to... What type of wickedness is that? How do you originate it? Where does it come from? It is what money can do.

It can cook up wickedness you will not know exists. And the reason that the COVID can, it knows it can get away with it. It can buy anybody's allegiance. It can buy anybody's silence. One of my young men was speaking to me how that he needed to enter into an estate. And normally, bikes are not allowed to enter into the estate. There were rigid laws that govern that. And he saw a policeman on a bike, and he stopped him. He said stop. And he told the policeman, will give you so and so amount of money if you can get me into this estate.

You will think that getting him into the estate is the only law that will be broken. The policeman drove through the traffic, walked in one way, drove through one way, drove through up, broke all the laws. I govern the road networks, got him into the estate. He paid the man, Maze Denkyu, and I went. That's without much. So what do you have more than that? That means you are the law. There is no law. You decide what you want and what you don't. There are no first thing that the justice system, as the court of law doesn't exist.

Because money amplify such wickedness. And in the hands of the wicked, this and more is what you see happening. Wrote wealth in the wrong hands, sponsor evil at the scale that your mind cannot comprehend. It can sponsor the destruction of innocence. It can expand wickedness beyond the capacity of ordinary people. And heaven will not watch forever whilst riches are used to multiply wickedness. And when I say wickedness, you have to understand that wickedness is not only the criminal kind. There is another tragedy that is also as equally provoked. And it is wealth in the hands of people with no kingdom agenda, no reverence, no eternal vision, no burden for anything beyond themselves. These ones might not have any criminal kind of wickedness, but wealth even in their hand is wasteful.

Are you with me? In such hands, money becomes a waste. Not because enjoying life is wrong, but because emptiness in in the soul of a man turns spending into an idol. People begin to own resources as a substitute for meaning because money becomes competition. God becomes vanity. Resources are poured into temporary flex. Resources are poured into status. Yet nothing has ever been built. Nobody is being lifted. No destiny is being sponsored, and no kingdom is being advanced.

And people who have been given enormous financial capacity and who pour it into excesses, into vanity, into extravagance, that achieves nothing, that builds nothing, that advances nothing, that helps nobody. And the world celebrates it. The world has made a culture out of watching the wealth waste. Out of watching the wealthy waste as well. The world... The the the world has built entire industries around documenting the excesses. The private jets, the superyachts, the wardrobe that cost more than houses, the birthday parties that cost more than hospitals. And because it is legal, because no one has been directly harmed in the obvious sense of it, it is accepted, even admired. It's called success. It's called good living.

It's called a good life. But from a kingdom perspective, from the perspective of eternity, from been spent in the world world of of entertainment entertainment alone. Alone. A single performance outfit by a global music artist that is only one once in his entire life for just three hours that he will never wear again can be $500,000. A single watch piece in the hand can be $2,000,000. $700,000 on fabric. While in the same world, we have somebody who's wearing a watch in his hands that can build 10 houses. There are children dying of hunger. Children dying of preventable diseases for want of medicine that cost less than $3. Less than $1 even.

And sometimes you wonder, what is the kingdom benefit of this? And if there are some of you who have that lustful desire for extravagance, you have to realize that you are already out of alignment with kingdom agenda. You've already positioned yourself inside the room. You are the container in the room where rain cannot touch. If what is in your... If if you already notice that what excite you is not how much you give to the kingdom. What excite you is when fine cars passes by you. And immediately your flesh arises, something in you says, wow. And then you start salivating. You start seeing yourself in five of those.

You are the container inside the room because your heart is not rightly positioned. The transfer is not coming to you, and it must be addressed so so that you know. I read of a billionaire who got a a a single superyach for about $31,000,000. Maybe I should speak in naira so that you would understand what I'm saying. If you'll break and do the calculation as fast as I'm speaking, you'll understand how much that is worth. And record says, he even said by himself in an interview that he only ever mounts the superyach once in a year. And he's spending more than $500,000 or even more than $1,000,000 every month in maintenance of something that I would only step into once in a year. And doesn't matter. It's it's... We can be lavish like that because it doesn't matter.

Are you with me? Yes. $5,000,000 a week to keep one person comfortable on the ocean. Whereas half of the world lives on less than $6 a day. You read a story of a billionaire spending $40,000,000 on a birthday party. Glory to God. One single night of celebration. One single night of celebration, something that can reach 10,000,000 souls into the kingdom organizing multiple crusades is burnt. Something that could have built schools, funded thousands of scholarships, established medical clinics across entire nations is burnt. And this is how wealth is being spent right now in the earth.

You go to clubhouses, and you'll find people coming and burning 10,000,000 naira, 5,000,000 naira on drinks, drinks alone, and even flaunting it on social media. Someone snaps a receipt and says, see how much I spent on this drink, on that drink, on this drink. Oh, I got this done Julio for a price of a car. Wastefulness is also an expression of wickedness in the heart. What did I say? Wastefulness. And that's what happens when resources accumulate in the hands of people who have no kingdom agenda whatsoever, who have no eternal perspective of the kingdom. No understanding that wealth is not a trophy to be displayed. It's a tool that we deploy. They don't build.

They consume. They don't invest in eternity. They invest in comfort. They don't think about legacy in the truest sense of it. They think about experiences. They think about the bigger, the louder, the more expensive the experience, the better it is. And they pour resources that God intended for the advancement of his purposes into the bottomless appetite of a self indulgent life that ends, that fades, that washes away, that produces nothing that lasts beyond the grief. Such a life is a pity to behold. There is nothing to admire about that life. And young people if not properly taught, young people, if not properly trained, will think that this is the model of the reference of success.

And our appetite in the flesh will start gravitating towards these lustful desires as the reason why we should come out of poverty, as the reason why we should come out of lack. When young people speak about coming out of lack, the motivation is that we'll buy bins because of what media has sold to us, a narrative that is unscriptural that media has sold to us. Does this mean that believers will not enjoy life? Absolutely not. But you have to understand that the realm of extravagance is not the realm that believers have been called to live in. What did I say? It is not. It is not. It is simply not. When you hear people like bishop Oyedeko speak in some exciting ways, sometimes you might not understand what he's saying or from what realm he's speaking from because you wonder how can a man be this rich and then he talks like this.

For instance, he says, the reason why I wear white suits is because it is cheaper. And you wonder, how can a man with billions like this be saying the reason he wears suit is cheaper? Of all the variables and options you can pick. And in your mind, you are thinking how unreasonable that is because you're already planning in your mind how how we should spend this own money as a reflection of your own lustful appetite. Because even though the money is not getting in your hands, it is already obvious that your heart is already corrupted, that flesh is already loud in you, that greed is already loud in you, is already obvious. Because your motivations for wealth is canal. Can't you see that the time you are excited about money is when you see a lady carrying a bag, and in your mind you say, you know how much that bag is worth, oh? That bag is about $25,000. So wow. Imagine I just have 20 of it in my wardrobe.

Absolutely nothing wrong about having bags, and you would even have more. But you see, when that becomes the expression of a heart that has nothing yet, when money comes, it will amplify that fleshy desire. It will amplify it. You won't stop at 10 bags. You will then realize that I think I don't like all this designer, all these things. What would it look like if a bag was made for me from the fresh skin of a tiger? And then you reach out and say, can you help me? Is this something that is possible? Of course. Why not?

We make these things on letters. Leather is animal skin. We can get it for you. But before you make the bag, ensure you snap a picture of a dead tiger and send to me. Show me the process. But only problem is to tell you, it just cost you about $3,500,000. Oh, no. No. No. Money is not a problem.

And then you hold it... You hold the bag like this. Do you know that this bag is from a dead skin of a tiger? I had a tiger killed in South Africa, and it was sent over to me, one of one in the entire world. This thing, it originates things you don't know is possible. And what it looks like to a man without means is just simple desires of the flesh, simple desires of the flesh. How you know a man will end here is simple. There is never a kingdom agenda that sponsors him, that pushes him, that motivates him. How you know a man will end here is that he's driven only by self. What appeals to his flesh?

What appeals to his desire? You know when he has little money on what he spends the money on. What he spends the money on. The concept of giving to God is a strange thing to him. He's yes itch when you tell him to give. Listen. You had better pay attention to what I'm saying. You had better do. You had better not think that you can craft a way for yourself outside of this path. You had better not live your life solely by trial and error.

There is a predefined path that whoever walks that path would definitely arrive at greatness. Definitely. Definitely. And this is that path. What I show you today is not cunningly devised fables. We will drive good cars. Don't get me wrong. We will live in good houses, magnificent houses. Estates and highlands who would own them because the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. The cattle on the thousand eaves are his.

The silver is his. The gold is his. Don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against comfortable living. I do everything to ensure I'm comfortable. It is because I am comfortable I can be here and not beg from you before I preach the gospel. God has helped me, and he is helping me. Are you with me brothers and sisters? However, there's a place God has helped us to, and God is still helping us that we desire that a lot of you step into and step into even places bigger than that.

And I can tell you that as long as your heart is not properly aligned, you are the container in the room when the rain is falling. In Luke chapter 12, you read from verse 16 to verse 21. Jesus spoke directly to this in that scripture. It is called the parable of the rich fool. You see a man whose land produced abundantly. And instead of thinking about what he could do with the abundance, instead of thinking about the kingdom of God, instead of thinking about the advancement of the kingdom, instead of thinking about eternity, he was only thinking about himself. Was it a centurion now? Jesus said they had seen not a man with such great faith. You read that scripture in one translation, in one of the writers of the gospels, and you think that all that made Jesus decide to even go and visit his son or his servant in the house was because the man came to reach him or called out to him. But no, it was in fact the scribes and the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

Who Jesus was always at loggerheads against. They were the ones who came to Jesus and told Jesus, this man that is attempting to reach you, he was one that built for us synagogues, built for us temples. And when Jesus heard it, it was so obvious that Jesus could not deny even the fact that a Gentile that understands kingdom advancement will call out to him and he will answer. Yet he was the one who said, I have been sent to the lost sheep of Israel. When a Gentile woman came to him, the same Jesus was the one who said, how can I give what belongs to children to dogs? But this one came and requested that his servant was at home. He never told Jesus to come. Jesus said, let's go. Because he found a man who understood kingdom. Despite being a Gentile, understood the assignment of riches and of wealth.

And when the scribes and the Pharisees came to say, he built us a synagogue. He loved our nation. Do you know the consequence of he loves our nation? You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood. And when you find a man that loves God's chosen generation, that means you understand what God is trying to do with these people, and you have chosen to partner with that vision. Jesus heard and said, let's go. Where is the man? Let's go. There was a variance of him revealed in the book of Luke 12 called the rich fool. And when the land produced abundantly, the bible says the man started speaking to himself, what shall I do?

I have no room to store my crops. What shall I do? And out of all the things he could do, look at what he said. He said, I will do this. I will pull down my bands and build greater, and then I will store all my crops and all my goods. And I will say to my soul, soul, you have many goods laid off for many years. Take your ease. Eat, drink, and be merry. And God said to him, fool, this night, your soul will be required of you, then whose will those things be which you have provided? Jesus called him a fool not because he was successful, not because his land produced abundantly, not even because he built bigger banks.

He was a fool because he accumulated for himself without being rich towards God. Next verse, so is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich towards God. That's why he's a fool. It means there is something that's been rich towards yourself. There is something that's been rich towards God. Jesus was the one who said it. You cannot disprove this because it was an utterance made by the mouth of Jesus himself that it is possible to be rich towards God. Now when you are factoring wealth and abundance, even before the wealth and abundance comes, the desire of the believer must be peace is towards God. Are you with me brothers and sisters? Somebody can now read about the wickedness of the Epstein network for instance.

Read about the obscene waste of billionaires who spend millions on yacht and birthdays and clothes and then conclude that the problem is simply wealth itself, that the money is the root of the problem. And then he believed that the godly response is to distance yourself from wealth, to be suspicious of it, to treat wealth or the pursuit of resources as something beneath a true believer. And the conclusion, even though it sounds spiritual, it sounds humble, is wrong. It is not only wrong, it is dangerous because it is that conclusion that has kept the church poor, underfunded, even unable to fulfill the mandate for generations. You must understand that the problem is never wealth. The problem is always the heart behind it. The problem is always the agenda that drives it. The problem is always the question of who... Whose purpose is it serving. Because the same money that funded the Hephthding's Island could have built thousands of churches.

The same billions that are spent on super yachts, who... That nobody needs could form the gospel into every unreached nation on the earth. The same resources that have been poured into the bottomless pit of celebrity excesses to gratify selfish, fleshy desires could establish medical clinics, build schools, fund missionaries, organize crusades, plant churches, print bibles in several languages, train pastors, and advance the kingdom of God in ways that will transform the face of the earth. The money is not the problem. What is the money serving? That's the question. And that's the reason why God's transfer is not merely God wanting certain people to be rich. It is God wanting the earth to be financed by righteousness because the gospel must move, because the kingdom must advance, because the church must be built, because souls must be reached, Nations must be discipled. The poor must be helped. Societies must be restored because God intends to raise men and women who will not only shout revival but will fund revival.

Because the move of God is also the move of resources. When the children of Israel moved out of Egypt, resources moved out of Egypt. Are you with me? They went with gold. They went with silver. They went with resources. And what would they use the resources to do? Build for me a temple. Build for me a temple. And every time God moves, every time a revival is coming, you must understand that these things are expensive.

The salvation of souls is expensive. Discipline nations is expensive. Listen to me believers, say to yourself, my primary assignment is to the gospel. My primary assignment is gospel. To preach and to fund the gospel. When you see crusades being held, don't admire the crusade. First think about the resources that went into it. Think about the resources that went into it. Not a lot of believers think like this. And we need a lot more believers to think like this.

Don't just attend conferences and meetings that bless you and empower you, and you are not thinking about what it took to make this gospel reach you, to make this gospel get to you. An awesome amazing man of God held a prayer conference in Lagos, and the place was filled to capacity. More than 500,000 people gathered. More than. It would have probably been close to a million. Have no idea what the standard number is. There was more than half a million people, and all the half a million people could hear very well. The gospel could reach everybody even from the back of the back. The sound system was powerful enough to reach you. There was no crowd control problem.

There was no stampede. Government organizes campaigns, and there is stampede. People trample upon themselves. And men of God gather people in their numbers like that, and there is such organization, such discipline, such orderliness that you find. This thing is resources. Such excellence you find. From whatever angle you wear, there were screens large enough projecting the man of God to your face. As the man of God declared, let the sick be healed, and the crutches were being raised. Don't admire the miracles alone. Admire what made it happen.

Because if the man were that anointed as to cause that many lives to be changed, as to cause that many people to hear the gospel and had more the forces to even get the venue or push the anointing, that thing will die in a room. Don't become believers who are only consumers in mentality. How can I get? How can I consume? How can I spend? How can I buy? I am hungry. I need to eat. No. Your primary cause is to the gospel.

What did I say? Your primary cause is to the gospel. Say it loud and clear. My primary cause is to the gospel. To preach. To preach. And to fund. This is the center of the church I bring to us today. We must not be timid about resources. Money is not your enemy.

Poverty is not humility. Lack is not the virtue. The danger has never been the money. The danger has always been the man that owns the money that does not have God. The danger is wealth without the kingdom agenda. But money in the hands of a righteous man becomes a weapon against darkness. It becomes a tool for kingdom advancement. It becomes fuel for the work of God. It becomes the infrastructure behind the gospel. The bible has shown us this again and again.

When the tabernacle was to be built, God did not drop gold from heaven. He moved the heavens on earth. And the heart of men began to move to give their gold, to give their silver because the temple was to be built. Exodus 35, you see a record of men and women bringing their resources willingly until there was more than enough, and the temple was built. First Chronicles 29, same thing you see shows David and the leaders giving with joy, giving with sacrifices. The people rejoicing because they offered willingly to God for the temple to be built. That is the pattern we see in scripture. That God's work always progresses when God's people carry resources with a kingdom mentality, with a kingdom mindset. The house of God rises. Missionaries are sent.

Souls are saved in their numbers. The worship of God is established. Justice is expressed. The testimony of God is carried across generations through the giving and the stewardship of righteous men. Settle it in your heart. Believers give for a living because your primary cause is to the gospel. Your primary assignment is to the gospel. Your primary mandate is to the gospel to fund, to preach. We don't give when it is convenient. We don't give because it is convenient.

We give because we have faith. We don't give because we have much. We are people that are trained as... By Christ to live as channels. God doesn't give up his office for private comfort. It is for the kingdom progress, for the kingdom agenda. He gives us so that the work of God can multiply. He blesses us so that the gospel can spread. He increases us so that the kingdom can advance. That is the reason why God places wealth in our hands.

God entrusts wealth to those who will build altars, not those who will build idols, not those who will make the flesh their idol, not those who will promote their own appetite and sponsor their own fleshly desires. Will you mold me? Will you make me? Now? Second the to the sower. Seed goes to the sower. Bread for food. That God multiplies the seed you have sown. Seed goes to the sower. That is the first way a man positions himself.

You have to position yourself as a sower. You'd expect that... Listen, you'd expect that how that bible would have been written is God multiplies the seed of the sower. Or God gives seed to a man who sows. But no, the bible calls that man a sower. That means his primary occupation is to sow. Yet, he does not yet have seed to sow. But that is already his occupation. It means he's a posture a man takes. It's an identity that he enters.

That is the first system of alignment that a man says, I choose to be a sower. And the Bible says the moment a man takes that posture, there is sequence of event that starts to happen in his life. First, the Lord begins to minister. There is a transfer of wealth and resources. And the first poster of art that you must have is to be a sower in identity. Let your life be trained to release, to release, to be a channel that gives and gives again, that gives us worship, that gives us partnership, not just gives to satisfy your fleshly desires, not to give to get, but you give as a covenant. You give it with the act that says, Lord, if you can get it to me, you can get it through me. Sir. Sir. Sir.

Many people want wealth transfer, but they have not proven stewardship at the level they already had. Even at your own level right now where God has helped you to, with whatever financial flow you have, you have not even proven stewardship. Yet we expect that somehow we will become recipient of the wealth transfer. We pray for millions when we have not even learned to be faithful in little. Yeah. Jesus stopped that if a man is not faithful with your unrighteous mammon, who will commit to him true riches? Who will commit to him true riches? Some of you need to pray to God sincerely to help your heart. Because you see, every command that has to do with going into the world in scripture is funded by resources. It's not enough that we have a good message.

It's not enough that we are anointed. It's not enough that there's utterance in our mouth. If our voice is not heard, if we have no resources to move, if we have no resources to gather, all of these things go to waste. When the bible says go into the world, we'll not trek into the world. We will meet systems and structures in the world, and those systems and structures will not will not bow to the fact that we are anointed. It will bow to the fact that we have what answers to it, which is money. And this flow of wealth, this wealth transfer that I am seeing, that has already begun to happen. This power that is shifting hands, this access, this influence, realms of authority, realms of power, a believer that's stepping into. You must understand that what gets a man there is not that you strive for it, it is that you position for it. The first positioning is the positioning of your heart.

It is not first the job that you do. It's not first the work that you do. It's not first the business you are doing. Whether you are making profit or making loss, that's not it. What he says is my son, give me your heart. Let me have your heart. Let your heart beat for the kingdom. Sir. Let me have your heart. And you would find out that even if you were given 90% of your income, the remaining 10 and buy high lands.

Lose this crave for money. This thing in you that makes money an idol, that makes your heart sting whenever you have to part with money. For some people, it's so bad that even when they have to buy food for themselves, the fact that money is still leaving them stings their heart. That's when they are getting something that they will... Is something that is of value to them. The fact that the money the money... He just likes to see the money. He likes to have the money. And if I have to even... Talk talk more give.

Something that will benefit him. He wants to go and buy food. He's feeling one kind that the money has to leave. How much more when we give? How much more when we give? What you need to understand is this, I was talking to one of my guys who was in my house, and he asked me a question. He said, apostle, I'm not a man of God. So I don't expect that when I give, people will come and give to me in the way that they give to you. Because I'm not preaching the gospel in the way that you are doing. I am in the marketplace.

So when I give, how should I expect? I say what an intelligent question. What an intelligent question. And I told him, I said, the first floor in your thinking is that you think that our harvest or my harvest because I give comes from people. That's the first floor in your thinking. Because when we give, the harvest that comes is not first material. If you think about that, I asked him, I said, you think about this this way, then you would have to ask me what was the harvest in 2019 when I was given. So because nobody was given to me as I was given, there was no harvest. What was the harvest in 2018, '17, '16, 1514 when we're given? When we're emptying and living a life of sacrifice, when nobody knew our name or knew who we were, what was the harvest?

Don't be deceived to think that a man of God is prosperous because he's a man of God and he's preaching and people give to him. You'll be wrong to think that way. You'll be very wrong to think that way even though the mentality in itself is true or the fact behind the mentality is true. Because according to the Levitical order, a priest is not designed to walk. A priest is designed to serve in the temple. Are you with me? Yes, sir. When you read your bible, you'll find that this is so. The law that was governing the Levitical priest was to serve in the temple. And in serving in the temple, the people to whom they are offering service to God for then give to them of their resources.

So that when even sacrifices are brought to God, the priest has a portion of the sacrifices the people bring to God. When you read your bible, you'll find this is true. Are you with me? So it is of the Levitical order that people give to the priest. Is that not so? As they minister unto God on their behalf, as they labor on their behalf. Is that not so? So even Paul says that if I minister unto you spiritual things, I am well deserving of your material resources. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes, sir.

So this is scripturally true. Scripturally so. And because a man labors in the call of God upon his life we respect to being a preacher of the gospel. There's a reward that comes from God to demand, financially speaking, materially speaking. There's a reward. Most men, however, will never enter into the reward of preaching the gospel. One year into preaching the gospel, two years into preaching the gospel, ten years into preaching the gospel, twenty years into preaching the gospel. So how do they prosper? If many of them have not yet entered their reward, The just shall live by faith. So a man of God who expects that his prosperity will come solely by the father he preaches the gospel and then God will start rewarding him materially for this for this reason We'll be poor for many years if he does not learn to live by faith.

Because when it comes to being prosperous, all of us are the same. We live by faith. We give by faith, never because we have. So if a man of God only accepts things from people and never gives himself, he will be poor. It is true. That's why many men of God are poor. The reason why people fight... There are more men of God who are poor than there are who are rich. The reason why many people fight church is because the one who are rich are very rich, and their wealth is ampersand. It is obvious in the eyes of many people.

Doesn't change the fact that for one man of God, you see who is wealthy. There are 1,000 who is broke. Because the law of faith cannot be broken. The principle of faith cannot be destroyed. The just shall live by faith. It does not say the man of God. So if the man of God is a righteous man, he is living by faith. Living by faith is not exclusive to him. He's not exempt from the law of faith. He will also live by faith.

He will also practice giving and receiving. Do you understand what I'm saying? I then answered this question. I said, listen. I am in the marketplace both as a business person and someone who works in an office. And so I can speak with authority as to how our givings come when we are in the marketplace. The Bible has never promised that what we get back when we give is material resources. The Bible says bring unto the Lord your tithes. Test him thereof and see. If he will not open the windows of heaven and pour unto you a blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.

The blessing is not money. It is not physical. Are you with me? The blessing are spiritual substances. Spiritual substances that bring the material resources. What did I call it? Spiritual resources that are creating material resources. That otherwise you would not be able to get if this giving had not been done. The blessing are empowerment, divine favor, divine connection, open doors, breakthroughs that you are on your own and a man sees you. That is the blessing.

That thing that thing, it can't be traded for nothing. It has nothing to do with who gives or who does not give. If nobody gives to me, I'm still blessed. I am never dependent on people. I'll be foolish to do that. The frailty of people. I told God I will not beg in this business. I will not come here and beg in this business. Hence, we labor. Paul says, when I came amongst you, so that I would not be a burden to you, I labored amongst you.

Are you with me? We would have some dignity in this business. We will preach the word of God and not have to depend on the funding of a man so that we can preach to God and preach what God has sent us and not care about the emotions of men. I am in the marketplace. I labor like many people labor, but I do so with such ease that if I tell you how things open up to me, you would almost not believe that it is possible for men to be that favored. You will almost not believe in this same marketplace business That I put my profile on platforms, I do not do as much work as most people do in pushing that platform out, pushing that profile out. If somebody will call me and send me a message and reach me, we found you somewhere. Somebody recommended you. Someone spoke about you. Someone said this.

Someone said that. Are you open for business? And I'm like, I'm not the only one. There are many of us who know this thing. It is spiritual substance that makes you visible, that puts you in the eyes of men. I don't trade that thing for nothing. The favor of God upon my life, the tangible favor upon my life. That makes me walk into systems as though laws don't exist. What other men we don't... We dare not try.

People would look at me and their heart would open towards me. They will like me for reasons they cannot explain. They will bring their work to me and say, Emmanuel, we don't even know why we are doing this, but it is you we want. I'm signing contract as though even things that I want deserving for me. I have always experienced this in the marketplace. I'm not talking as a pastor. I'm talking as a Christian marketplace. Because I have the authority to speak on both ends. My wife and I sat down just speaking, and as we're speaking, an idea dropped. All of a sudden, I got on my computer, started building it, started building it.

We're almost done with it. When we sat down with the marketing expert in my office, and I projected the idea and we sat down to cost the metrics of it, and we saw the returns it would give in three years of deployment, I said, what is this? An idea. An idea. That is spiritual substance. That is spiritual substance. But we devalue such things. We... Because, you know, we say that mentality, an idea, an inspiration. One of my guys was telling me, he came to me, and then he gave...

He he received an instruction for me. I told him that same thing you are doing for others, go and do it too. Yeah. And whilst he was calling through social media, an idea, it just came to him. This thing this person you are seeing, this thing you are seeing this person selling, approach this person, offer this, sell on his behalf. In front again, instead of selling on his behalf, sell it as your own product. Buy from him. Add your profit. Market it. He did the same thing.

He said, apostle, in eight days, we made 8,000,000 naira or so. An idea. That is spiritual substance. He came to me and sat down. He said, I'm supposed to. I can make 100,000,000 this year. I've seen it. That's spiritual substance. That's spiritual substance. That's spiritual substance.

How many people don't have is why they are suffering and laboring because your hands are constrained so your heart is not enlarged. The enlargement of your heart is spiritual substance. These are the blessings that come when men choose to live for the kingdom. When men choose to give themselves to the kingdom, when men choose to say, listen, God, I will never be an evil warehouse. If you will get it to me, you can get it through me. If you will get it to me, you can get it through me. We had friends that waited last year. This whole place was filled up. Tents here, spanning all the length of this field. People packed full.

Not enough place to even put people. And whilst we are jumping and excited, wise people ask, what would it take to put this thing out? What would it take? God, if you will get it to me, you will get it through me. I will be one of those who will build your temples. I choose to identify as a sower. My identity has changed from today. I am not an hustler. I am a sower. I'm not a business person.

I'm a sower. And then the channel is open. The channel is open. I am a steward of resources. You see, that is the position of those who will become recipient of the wealth transfer. What you would find is that resultant would flow into your life through channels of wealth that begins to open up left, right, and center. Divine connections, divine favor, divine empowerment. Some of it... Listen. When a man takes this posture, for some of you, what God begins to do in your life, it will make you afraid.

You will sit down and you will be humbled by the mockings of the mighty hand of God upon your life. You would say, is this possible? When did I start doing this business? When did I start working here? When did I start doing this? How can someone just look at me and say I'm the one they want to favor? And say, how is it possible? How is it possible? But because I have said, if you can get it to me, so it means God will open all doors to ensure it gets to you. God will break all channels to ensure it gets to you.

God will disturb the sleep of men, arrest the hearts of men, shake the heavens and the earth to ensure it gets to you. A young woman sowed a seed to a prophet. I've shared this story before. And upon sowing the seed to a prophet... Upon sowing the seed to our prophet, the prophet spoke words over her, and she left, went back to work. Getting to work, the boss told her, I'm traveling to The US. Is there anything you want? He said, oh, I want the tablet and the latest iPad. I've been trying to get it, but I've not been able to get it if you can get it for me. No problem.

And the boss went there, came back, said take this bag, but don't shout when you see it. Just contain yourself. Then she opened the bag and saw that the tablets came, the pipette came with also a keyboard. And she thought to herself, is this why the boss said I should not shout? Thank you very much, boss. And she opened the thing and saw bills of $10,000 cash, five of them, $50,000. She shouted. She said, why? She said, I just felt like giving you. Not a preacher, not a man of God, but God opens the heart of people because you have insisted in you that I will be a channel if you can get it to me.

You just get it to me. The wicked man, you won't get it through him. But if there can be a way I can leave the wicked, enter my hands. You will get it through me. You will get it through me. I will sponsor campaigns that promotes the kingdom. I will sponsor crusades that promotes the kingdom. I was telling the men yesterday, I said, do you know how much we spend every Sunday? We've not resumed in full capacity. By the time we come here in full capacity, our bills every Sunday will skyrocket times 25 or 30.

Ask him, do you know how much you spend every Sunday? The amount of money we use to rent chairs is in 6 figures every Sunday. The amount of money we use to rent equipment, technical wise, subwoofers, the extra speakers is in 6 figures every Sunday. The amount of money we used to rent media stuff, same thing. The amount of money we spend on buses transporting people, elder scatters, same thing. And I told them, I said, one person can buy a thousand chairs. There is no big deal in it. That's the purpose of money in your hands. That is the purpose of wealth in your hands. That's the purpose of wealth in your hands.

How much is a power of hunters? 5 millionaire. That's the purpose of wealth in your hands. One person can say, if... Give me the bill of all the things we need for technical in this church. Subwoofers, amplifiers, crossovers, speakers, instruments, keyboard, mode five, motif, whatever they call it, drums. Just give me the bill of everything. Oh, young man. We are... Look at it.

It's about 30,000,000. Apostle, this is it. This is the purpose of wealth in your hands. So when you're thinking wealth, don't force think g wagon. Think this is the purpose of wealth in my hands. The cars are not your problem. The cars will come. Nice ones, in in fact. We are not stupid if we are channels. We are not foolish if we live our life for this cause.

We are not foolish if we take an identity that makes us cater us. All a sower does is to scatter seeds. That's why the bible said it's eaters, cater it, and yet increase it. Apostle, you announced last time that we are changing properties. Have you found the property? How much is it? This is my own contribution. 10,000,000, 5,000,000, 12,000,000. That's the purpose of wealth in your hands. That's the purpose of wealth in your hands.

And when a man becomes a channel in this manner, there is no heaven. There's no door that God will not shake to bring money into your hands. That's the reason why we are blessed. That's the reason why we are blessed. Don't admire the blessing upon a life. Listen. Doctor David just last week went to the North and saw the state of how terrible things were. People suffering. People went to the IDP camps, was moving up and down. I think there was an attack on sort.

I forgot what it was. And he was there looking at houses, dilapidated houses. People live here in these conditions on the spot. He gave 500,000,000 naira. That was all he had. It was a spirit I was saying. That was all he had in his account. Emptied everything. When they were costing how much it cost to build the things he wanted to build, And he found out that the family was not enough. He wanted to sell his car on the spot.

Almost with tears in his face. So how can people live like this? How can people live like this? That is why we are blessed. Now many people's hospital bills we pay? Be careful not to look at us when God blesses us and say, they're just collecting people's money. God will punish you. God will punish you. It is true. You have no idea the sacrifices, the labor that are unspoken with the microphone.

Unspoken with a microphone. One of my daughters came to me, and once she told me how much she would... It would take her to to scale her business and how she was in a financial bankruptcy at the moment, It just came to my heart. Help her. This is about last year or or so, early last year or so. Help her. I said, how much would you need? And I gave to her the exact amount of money she said she would need in 6 figures. Multiple 6 figures. Not a 100, not 200, not 300, multiple.

There are apostles. This and that. And so return on investment returns on what you think I am investing into your business. This is a prophecy. Go and prosper. You know what I mean? I want to invest into your business. Take this and go and build wealth with it. That's why I'm giving you. I'm giving because I need your money.

Stories will not tell. Things like that, more than 15 of them happened last year. Just investing into people. Investing into people. So when those people become billionaires and they say, I'm supposed to take you private jets. You have the mark. You have your daffity to sit down somewhere and say men of God are collecting people's money. And thunder will not do press up for you. Skofie is being paid. I will not come and announce.

Life is being touched. That we don't come and announce. Intentionally so. Phones being given, laptops being given that we don't come and announce. Intentionally so. Go by dealing with young people, empowering people in different capacities. It's not a mistake if you are blessed. Some of us have chosen to live our life on this course. We have chosen to sacrifice to be the halter, literally. It's not a mistake if you are blessed.

It is not a mistake if you are blessed. There's a pattern that I show you that anybody who walks that pattern builds a legacy, a life that transcends himself. This is how to live an inheritance that surpasses you, that goes into the next generation. When David was done living his life, the bible says David served God in his own generation. But do you know he even served God beyond the extent of his generation? Because he was the one that gave us several prophecies that showed us the life of Jesus while he was on earth, that made us understand the assignment of Jesus. He even served us too. Served his generation. Served my generation. And the bible called him a man after God's own heart.

Go and look at what he gave to the building of the temple. And when this guy spoke to the people of Israel, he was able to make people give excitedly. The Bible says, they were giving, they were dancing. They were worshiping. I've been offered to a deity. The life I live is not my home. I've been offered to a deity. The life I live is not my home. Hear me. Hear me.

That the life that we live is not her heart. That I'm a steward of resources. I'm a steward of what now? Resources. That is how I choose to position myself, either as a man or as a woman. This is how wealth transfer flows. This is what makes God break doors open for you. And you understand that whatever position God puts you is not for yourself. It's not so you can get wealth. Earth, I almost forgot.

Mordecai had to knock sense into her head. You think if they kill all of us, they won't kill you too. The woman said, hey. I was born for such a time as this, but you have forgotten. It means it is easy to forget. Understand that there is something called for such a time as this. It's easy to forget when you make your profit. You forget when you told God, hey, I am a living sacrifice. And you remember that you're a walking sacrifice. Yeah.

Let me be a driving sacrifice. Have you forgotten the living part of it? I thought that was the... This wasn't the arrangement we made. This wasn't the arrangement we made. Let nothing... Do ever be too big that I cannot give God. May I never... May nothing ever hold sway to my heart that I cannot let go. Nothing.

Make my heart. You make my life so beautiful. Listen. May nothing ever. May nothing ever. What can I not give to you? Take it. What cannot leave me? What cannot submit on the altar? What cannot let go?

What cannot drop on your walls? What can you demand of me, and I will start fighting? What pledges of the flesh? Take it away. Take it away. This is the first posture of a man who will become a container that becomes a tunnel in this world transfer agenda. God, I'm seeing it happening. I'm seeing it happening. And you will begin to hear testimony of this sort. It will...

Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. It will happen in your eyes. I don't speak carelessly. I don't come here and speak carelessly. I fear God. I don't speak carelessly. I do not.

I do not. Some of us are prophets. We don't joke with what we hear. I will don't speak... We don't claim to hear God every time. But when we do, you best believe it is not a lie. There is a movement of resources. There are people that by these things I am saying, the way they will duck... The the push that will come, it will be unnatural for a man to move like that. The only explanation will be these ones have been helped by God.

The only explanation will be the the finger of God is upon this life. Listen. And that is how I'm telling you how a man positions himself there. I'll continue this on Tuesday. Listen. If you are in the habit of missing meetings on Tuesday, you are doing yourself a huge disservice. Yourself and your destiny, a huge disservice. Where God is taking some of you to this year, this year, this year, this this year, it will be a place where we cannot share your testimonies because we we will need to we will need to protect you. We'll have to summarize. We we can't.

For some people to do when the Lord turned the great captivity of Israel. Listen. The last part is they were like them that dreamt. You will form composure when you are signing the contract and making the deals and doing all of that. And you will speak with your dafferty, and you will leave that place and go and cry. You will you will you will wonder. You will wonder. Is is this my life? Is this me? Is is this real?

Is this real? Can God bless a man like this? Can God lift a man like this? Can God open doors like this? Some home people will break down crying. They were like them that dreamed. Because what I saw is a shift. It's not a gradual movement. It's a shift. A shift.

A shift. It becomes important that I show you how to position yourselves. There are strange instructions many will begin to receive. Because God will be laying a hold on your heart. He will be laying a hold on your heart. Many people will be hearing that statement, my son, give me your heart. Give me your heart. Give me your heart. And he'll be doing so in many ways. In many ways.

Give me your heart. Give me these appetites. Give me these appetites. Give me this carnality, this canal desire, these things that have hold sway. Give me these things you cannot let go. Give me your heart. Give me your heart. At that point, the question would be, would you be willing to let go? Would you be willing to let go? Would you be willing to let go?

Can you rise up on your feet? Want you bow your head and close your eyes. And I want you to speak to God with all sincerity. I position myself for the world's transfer. Search my heart. Know my inward parts. David says, search my heart. Know my inward part and check if there be any wicked way within me. Am I not be a criminal? Am I not spend money on the law school desires of my heart?

Am I not be a womanizer? But am I selfish? Am I living just for myself? Is there kingdom in my heart? Search my heart. Search my heart. Search my heart. Search my heart. Pray the prayer of David. Know my heart.

David said, lead me in the way everlasting. Know my heart. Help me. Help me. I give myself away. I give my heart to you. I give my life to you. I commit that I'm a a steward of resources. I commit that if you will get it to me, you will get it through me. I will not be an evil warehouse.

I will not be a container. Help me. Help me. Make a demand of me. Whatever has laid hold on my heart, I let it go. I let it go without looking back. I've burned the bridges. There's no turning back. There's no looking back. Thank you for listening to this message.
