Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

God's word is alive and powerful. It is sharper than any double edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and our joints and marrow until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts. Join apostle Emmanuel as he takes us on a journey into the word of God. It is time to encounter God, be transformed by his word, and empowered by his spirit. Listen. The purpose of this series is to show you biblical keys that will bring you into a realm of abundance, into a realm of possibilities, into a realm of wealth, a dimension of supplies in the spirit. And it is not just by lecture. It is not just by teaching. In as much as there will be teachings, in as much as there will be doctrinal exegesis to try and establish what we are trying to say all through the course of this series.

But beyond the words will be an empowerment and an enablement to become that which we speak about. I tell you, the real... What I saw in my spirit is people jumping into these rivers of waters. Even as the word of God is being taught. What I'm saying... You see, what I saw is the word of God being taught to you is much like rivers of possibilities being steered. Rivers of possibilities being steered. And the moment it reaches a point, I saw people jumping into it. People jumping into it. This will happen even as we teach.

Oh, I tell you, it will happen even as we teach. I want you to be your brother's keeper. If the power... When the power of God comes upon anyone beside you, just help them. Because I see angels moving with jars of oil. Right now, I just saw them passing, moving, moving through this place. From the front to the back, I just see them moving gently, gently with jars of oil. What I'm seeing them doing is I'm seeing them dipping the feet of people inside Hoyer. It's it's so strange what I'm seeing. I'm seeing them dipping the feet of people inside Hoyer.

Inside Hoyer. Help them upstairs, outside, outside, at the overflow, under the gallery, on the gallery. This will happen. I'm seeing the angels just moving. It will continue to happen as I speak. I tell you, it will not stop. It will continue to happen as I speak. I'm seeing the feet of men being dipped in oil. The feet of men being dipped in oil, and God is granting them speed. This speed is the speed that makes men enter into wealth and possibilities.

Dimension of results like never before. What I'm seeing is strange, I tell you. It's strange. Listen. When the power of God comes upon you, don't be quick to come out of the influence of that power. There will be encounters that are open up to you, possibilities that are being revealed onto you. God will be meeting with several people in dreams and in visions, in visions of the spirit, in trances, out of body experiences. For some, it will be clarity given. For some, it will be instructions given. For some, it will be directions given.

Let that atmosphere settle upon you. Ensure you suck out everything that the encounter came for. It is not just for the fun of it. No. It is not for the fun of it. It's not to show that a man is anointed. It is that God is lifting men into possibilities. I heard God told me you are... That that these people are catching up and they're overtaking. You hear me?

You hear me? You hear me? That is the reason why the feet is being dipped in oil. They are catching up and they are overtaking. Hey, Jesus. This river will only increase even more as we go. Be hungry. Let the yours come to you. I'm seeing the power of God coming upon a member of the ushering department. What I'm seeing God...

And the person is wearing the uniform of the ushering department. What I'm seeing God doing is bringing wealth upon that person. Wealth upon that individual. Wealth upon that individual. Upon that individual, the power to get wealth. The power to get wealth. Listen to me. There are many believers who have been affected in this year, affected in their finances, especially in this year. There are families that are bleeding in the area of finances right now. They are unable to meet up demands, unable to meet up with accumulating bills.

There are students that have had to drop out from school, even from the University of Ibadan because they couldn't pay their fees. I'm seeing a vision in my spirit, and I'm seeing a horn. A horn. A horn. This is for three people. What God is telling me is my... Your horn as he exalted, as the horn of the unicorn. I see three of them. What will happen that you will begin to stand out in your field? Help them.

Help. You begin to stand out in your field. God is giving them height. Height. God is adding to their height. God is My horn has yet exalted like the horn of unicorn. I shall be anointed with fresh oil. It's making them stand out. That is what is happening. Uniqueness.

Where people have be ignored them with is giving you height. The new light of heaven is shining upon them. I'm seeing it happening. Hear me? You can look at me as though what is this man saying, but you'll be shocked. You'll be shocked. Mary asked the angel, how shall these things be? How shall these things be? The spirit of the Lord will come upon you. The power of the highest will overshadow you.

When you see the power of God coming upon people, the things that men don't expect is happening. That is how these things will be. The spirit of God will overshadow you. The power of the highest will come upon you. Hear me? I'm seeing a man. I'm seeing a man in in in like a barren field, and I'm seeing the man growing in the spirit, groaning in the spirit. This is the vision I'm seeing. The man is groaning in the spirit. Groaning in the spirit.

But God is saying, enough. Enough. All all the labors in the secret. All the labors in the secret. I'm seeing people now gathering to come and see the reward in the open. That's what I'm seeing. God says that I'm I'm rewarding the labors of the secret place. I'm rewarding the labors of the secret place. Help them. Flow.

Flow. There's one person I'm speaking to by the spirit. I... I'm seeing a vision. The person is entering into a door. The powerful will find the person for me. The person has entered, not even is entering. The person has entered into a door, and the door is a door of opportunity. This happened recently. An opportunity opened up to you.

It was not what you were expecting exactly because I'm seeing that there was another door that you wanted to enter, but for some reason you could not enter. And then another opened up. It will... It looked as though it was smaller compared to what you were expecting to enter, but you entered regardless. What I'm seeing is that as you are entering, multiple doors are appearing. It's one person. The power of God will come upon that person. Multiple doors. I'm seeing it. The person has already hand tied, but now multiple doors are appearing.

Multiple doors are appearing. Multiple doors. International doors are appearing. Appearing. Appearing. Many options to choose from. Many options to choose from. What I just said now just jumped upon several people. The person who the word is for has not received it. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Listen. Listen. There are many young people who are destined to become inventors, destined to become presidents, destined to become apostles, prophets, who have hardly made any progress in their destiny because their families are limited due to the lack of economic empowerment to help them to make progress. Do you know that there are several students who are unable to write this exam because they could not pass COVID? And how of these students are medical doctors? People that God has defined and ordained their destiny. Because of the incapacitation of finances, many have dropped out of universities, many have dropped out of schools. The today is governed economically, and any believer today who wants to live an effective Christian life among the many tools that you must be equipped with is the ability to understand God's economic system and to bring your life abundant financial resources that gives you the liberty to serve God with integrity, to live a life of meaning and a life of purpose, and to be a blessing to your world.

Let me say this without mincing words. If you are limited economically, if you lack financial empowerment, the purposes of God in your life will suffer. Yes, sir. This is nothing but the truth. I pray you believe what I'm saying. I pray you don't believe late. Your dignity will be under attack. Every other aspect of your life will suffer eventually. There are many books that are supposed to be written right now. They perished and died with the owners of those ideas because their resources to even print the book in a publishing house is not available.

There are many people that could not have access to platforms and opportunities that would make them showcase their talent and their skills because to get there, they require money. Do you know this? Yes, sir. If you want to be a footballer, for instance, there is a place you will... You must get to before you are noticed. Many of the times to get the required money, a lot of it. Before anybody notices you, it means there are people who are destined for greatness in that field but will never become anything because the incapacitation financially has briefed them. My prayer for you is that there will be nothing God will put in your heart that the absence of finances will make it impossible to do. Do you know that it takes money to be a blessing? Massive abundant financial empowerment, not just enough for yourself, enough to be a blessing to others.

Enough to be a blessing to others. Do you know the amount of money needed to power this vision? Millions go into this every month, every month, organizing one meeting that you alerted him. Every month is millions of money. Millions of money. By the time we change the venue for believers equip after the manifest conference, you can't imagine how much it becomes again. To power this vision you see requires massive financial resources. There is almost nothing God has shown you that you will do for him that will not require heavy resources financially. To be limited is to be wicked because it means you are incapable of being a blessing to your generation. Are you with brothers and sisters?

Do you know that sin, bribery, corruption flourishes in poverty? Yes. They say, well, it's corrupt. You try poverty. Nothing corrupt more than poverty. When you have not eaten, you will forsake the deliverance from Egypt and then Moses will go back to Egypt. A place of slavery, a place of oppression, a place of captivity, and hunger will make you say, leave the vision we have seen. Leave the land of promise. Leave a place flowing with milk and honey as long as we're not there yet. What's the purpose?

Let's go back to where we are eating food. At least we were eating food even though we were slaves. Poverty makes one compromise. Compromise on their values, compromise on their visions. I've not seen girls who are sleeping with men today to afford rent. Sir. Sleeping with men today who are chipping their If you're a man of God, listen to me. If you are not financially enabled, people will doubt your vision. Yes. A time will come even your family will ask you, are are you truly called of God?

Your wife will look at you and wonder if you were called. If you were called, have your seat. Listen to me, brothers and sisters. This is one series that you must pay attention to as though your life and destiny depends on it. Ah, Jesus Christ. This that I'm telling you will bring many families out of oppression, out of poverty, out of lack, out of the wilderness. Ah, look at how you are receiving this thing. Break me and mold me. All I have is yours to start with. Break me and mourn me.

All I have is yours to hang with my life, my soul, my spirit belongs to you. It is yours to start with. One of the reasons why this thing must be taught in church is because the average person's orientation about finances is just to get a good job, start a business, be diligent, make profit, receive a salary, and that's it. But listen to me. If your approach to the subject of finances is just this, You will lose eventually. This is a loser's approach, and a lot of people are into this right now, and they have not broken through. Do you know that a lot of people are currently in school, and the best they can see themselves doing is graduating and securing a good job. They do a good job, get paid a good salary, and that is the best they can see themselves. In fact, it is what makes people choose what to study in school. What many people study that they have no consciousness of purpose as long as it is lucrative enough to secure some amount of money when I'm done.

This is a loser strategy. Hear me? The starting point of your financial prosperity, hear me, is to know that the will of God is for you to prosper. That is where your prosperity begins from. There must be a change in orientation to know that God is interested in my wealth. God is interested in my prosperity. The will of God for my life is for me to prosper. The bible says, through prosperity shall my kingdom be spread abroad. Prosperity advance God's kingdom. It means prosperity is advantageous in the life of believers.

God wants to put massive wealth in your hand. This this is gonna be this is gonna be an introduction. Permit me to introduce today. And I will title my introduction today spiritual forces of prosperity. Spiritual forces of prosperity. This will be one of the most balanced series on prosperity you would ever listen to. Yes. It's a series, so climb along with me. Is that okay? Yes.

I would admonish you not to choose the one you want and ignore the remaining. That would be foolishness. The starting point of your financial prosperity is knowing that it is the will of God for me to prosper. It is the will of God for me to make money. It is the will of God for me to have abundance of resources. Material resources is God's will for my life. The believer must be confident of this. The willingness of God to prosper, you must never be in doubt. You must also know that one of the benefits of genuinely loving God, genuinely serving God is prosperity. In Psalms 35 verse 27, the bible says, let them shout for joy and be glad.

Who favor my righteous cause? It means if you do not favor a righteous cause, this is not for you. I'll come back to the scripture during the course of this series. But look at this. Let them say continually, the Lord be magnified. Who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servants. The Lord have pleasure in your prosperity. Can you say loud and clear? Yes. You must believe it.

This foundation will make your spirit hard on the fact that God wants me to prosper. Do not listen to any preacher anywhere who talks down on prosperity or who suggests to you that prosperity is not part of your redemptive package. Do not listen to it. Once a preacher starts to suggest this, turn it off and walk away. Proverbs 10 verse 22. The bible says the blessing of the Lord. This is scripture. Plain scripture, not Greek, not Hebrew, anything. Plain scripture. The blessing of the Lord makes one rich.

The rich, there is no spiritual wealth. It is rich. As rich as rich is. The blessing of the Lord makes one rich. In other words, if the blessing of God is upon you, then you should be rich. Hi. The blessing of God is upon me. The blessing of God, I can never be poor. First Timothy six and verse 17. The bible says command those who are rich in the present age not to be haughty, not to trust in uncertain riches, but Who gives us all things to enjoy?

All things to enjoy. It is the will of God for you to prosper. In the original plan of God, when God made man in the book of Genesis, the bible says God planted a garden eastward of Eden. And after the garden was planted, God made man, placed man in that garden. You know the story? God beautified the garden. God put surplus supply of everything man would need. Food, wealth, abundance. You mentioned it. It was in the garden.

The bible says there were rivers in the garden. At the base of one river was gold, was onyx stones, precious stones, material resources, natural resources that man can deploy for whatever purpose. God gave all of this to man. Man was born in wealth. Man was born in abundance. This was God's original plan. In fact, man did not even have to work for any of it. God just created it and put man there and say it is yours. Have dominion over it. Have dominion over it.

It was God's original intention, but man fell. And the moment man disobeyed God and ate of that fruit, sin entered the world. As a result of sin, several things happened. Poverty came. Sickness came. The earth rebelled. Creation rebelled against man. All of this was a consequence of sin that entered the world. The bible says death came through sin. In other words, even death came through sin.

Failure came through sin. All of them were possibilities that were not in the original plan of God. Sin introduced these things to man. And what happened as a result of this? Man was sent out of the garden, that place of abundance, that place of possibility, that that fruitful field, that that that forest. Man was sent out of plenty into lack. What sent man out of plenty into lack? Sin. Man was sent out of the garden. In other words, it was from that day ends forth.

Man had to toil for what he had to do. Toiling and hustling is a result of the curse. Do not call yourself an hustler. Hustling is a curse. Yes, sir. We work. We do not hustle. Yes, sir. Do you know what it means to hustle to toil, to labor from day to night looking for what to eat? It became a possibility after the fall of man.

After sin was introduced, man was sent out of the garden of Eden into the wilderness, out of plenty into lack, out of wealth and abundance into poverty. Man had man how to toil, how to plant, how to labor for what he would eat. This was what happened when man disobeyed God. As a result of sin, poverty came. As a result of sin, failure came. As a result of sin, sicknesses came. Death came. So what does this tell you? It tells you that when Jesus died on the cross and the problem of sin was dealt with, everything that came as a result of sin was also dealt with. In other words, in other words, you cannot claim to be healed in Christ and not claim to be prospering Christ.

And not claim to have prospered in Christ. You cannot claim... You can't you can't choose one and say, God died for this one, but this one is not there. What what are you... How did that one come? It came because of the fall. It means f... The the cross of Jesus is the solution to everything that the cross that the... That sin brought. And if poverty is one of the things that sin brought, then the cross answered it.

The cross answered it. The believer can say therefore that because I am saved, I cannot be born. In second Corinthians eight and verse nine, the bible says, for you know that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ... Watch this. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I've taught you the great grace. Is that not so? The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. You know that grace. You know that grace.

That though he was rich, yet for your sake, he became poor that you through his poverty might become rich. How did he become... How did you become righteous? Though he was righteous, he became sin that you through his sin might become righteous. Wasn't that how you became righteous? The same applies to your wealth. Though he was rich, he became poor that you, through his poverty, might become rich. We advance prosperity unashamedly. We we are not ashamed of the fact that God wants us to prosper. We will continue to tell believers that this is a possibility.

There is no such thing as the prosperity gospel. There is only the gospel. And if you believe the gospel, then you believe that prosperity is yours in Christ. When people stratify into prosperity gospel, this gospel, it becomes messed up. It becomes wrong. God is increasing you. God is lifting your head. In the name of Jesus. Your oil wells are bursting forth. In the name of Jesus.

You are expanding on the left and on the right. In the name of Jesus. Do you believe what I'm teaching you? One of the benefits of sincerely loving God, the bible says heart has not seen, Ears has not heard. What God has kept for them that love him. One of the things that God has kept for them that love him is wealth, abundance, and prosperity. The bible says in second Chronicles 26 and verse five. One, two, three, go. He sought God in the the days prophet who had understanding in the visions of God. Next line everybody.

One, two, three, go. As long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper. This is scripture. As long as he sought the Lord, that there is a reward for seeking God, and one of the reward is prosperity. When the bible says that God rewards those that diligently seek him, one of the reward is revealed. It's not hidden. One of them is prosperity. As long as you sought the Lord. In other words, seeking God cannot be a reason why people are poor. Christianity does not advance poverty.

Yes. Yes. When I start, maybe on Tuesday, building wealthy enterprises, I will show you the culture of believers from scripture, the culture of Christianity, then you will see that laziness is not part of the culture. Do you know that there is nowhere in scripture where poverty is blamed on circumstances? This is how things are. That's why they they were they were poor. Nobody in scripture. Nobody in scripture. What the bible says, a little sleep, a little slumber, a little fold not the hands. Poverty is never blamed on circumstances.

It is blamed on what you do. Circumstances, therefore, is never the reason why people are poor. Stay with me. It is foolishness to think that serving God makes you poor. As long as he sought the Lord. Is this in your bible? As long as he sought the Lord. As long as he sought the Lord, as long as he's committed to the service of God. God watched that service and God made him prosper. So I know that even as I continue this that I'm doing, I will prosper.

Do you know what Jesus told the disciples? When I sent you, lackest thou anything. You must never think that it's disadvantage to serve God. You must never think. Many people close their ears to the story of prosperity. And when a believer... When a preacher starts talking about these matters, they just shut down and they believe that this is not what I should be hearing by now. The only thing that will happen is that you will wish you heard it earlier. And if you don't hear it now, you will also wish later on whenever you choose to hear it, to hear it earlier. To have heard it earlier.

Second Chronicles 31 verse 20. The bible says, thus, Ezekiah did all throughout all Judah. And he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God. In verse 21, the Bible says, and in every work that it began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did with all his heart. So he prospered. Did you see that? So he prospered in every work that it began in the service of the house of God. I'm happy for those who serve in the house of God. I'm happy for them. It's a blessing to serve in the house of God.

It is a blessing. I'm not interested in raising canal believers who are only after material gain. That is not the aim of this teaching. The aim of this teaching is to raise you into financial abundance, and your heart is still consecrated enough to serve God. In other words, you will never get to a point where because of your wealth, because of your abundance, you become high minded, you become proud, you become arrogant, that to even clean the chair is a problem. Never. We have billionaires who will stay on the keyboard and play. Yes. Owners of large establishments. Businesses that are turning over millions and billions in revenue per month.

And you will see them standing outside welcoming you with a smile saying come and sit down. Come and sit down. You will see them sweeping the house of God with their SUVs parked outside. What are you going to do? I'm going to church. Oh, you have a meeting. No. I'm going to clean the church. Yes, sir. And you end up with your family and you are coming.

Listen. This is not ten years time. In the book of Psalm 90, the bible says, oh, satisfy us early. Oh, satisfy us early. Oh, satisfy us early. Satisfy us early. There is a dimension of satisfaction that can come to a man early. Give me that scripture. That we may rejoice and be glad all our days. What is definition of helly?

Give me NLT. No. MSG. Amplified. One, two, three. Go. Pause. In the morning. When? Now.

Listen. Listen. Listen. The definition of hell is now. Not just now. Now before we are older. It doesn't say now before we are old. It says now before we are older, do you agree with me that next year you'll be older? I don't know about you, but I contend for satisfaction. It gives me the time to serve God.

Listen. If I am hungry, my method can change. The reason why I can't stand here to pay is because there's food on my table. It give me... It gives me the the luxury of time to serve God, to pray, and to be focused even whilst praying. Not thinking about what to eat, what to pay rent for, what to buy for, and I'm thinking about all these things instructed in prayers. Many people go into the place of prayer, and all that they are thinking about is mundane things. When you get to a point where mundane thing becomes no problem to you anymore, That you are you are you are satisfied already your time is for God. You can go out and pray knowing that there is food on my table. I have what I will eat.

I have what I... Oh, Jesus. There is a realm such as this where mundane things don't become a problem to you anymore. Where your prayer point revolve around mundane things. God, give me this. God, give me that. That this become the surplus supply. And you come to a place of abundance. The bible calls it the wealthy place. It is a reality for the believer.

At that point, when you go and pray, you can focus on the heart of God and say, God, what is your heart saying? What is your heart saying? There is nothing I won't give to you. There is nothing I wanna give to you. There is nothing I wanna give to you. Oh, there is nothing I won't give to you. Don't sing with me. Listen. You won't my heart. You won't my soul and my body.

There is nothing I won't give to you. You want my heart. You want my soul and my body. There is nothing I won't give to you. You won't my heart. You won't my soul. There is nothing I won't give to you. Is it? I have your heart. God is singing.

I have your soul. I have your body. So there is nothing I will give to you. Because I have your heart. I have your soul and your body. There is nothing I won't give to you. A point comes where there is no distraction anymore. You go to God and this is the statement of your heart. Sincerely speaking. You hold my arm.

You're my soul. There is nothing I won't give to you. And God will reply you. I have your soul and your body. There is nothing I need to you. I know I have your school fees you have not paid. And your house rent you have not paid. And your children's school fees you have not paid. And you're thinking about what you will eat tomorrow morning. And you're not even sure where you will get the money from.

And you are owning you are owing several people. You are in multiple debts. And you come before God and you say, God, no. What will be on your mind is how do I pay these debts? How do I sort these bills? How do I do these things? Your whole prayer point revolve around once. That is that is a baby's dimension of prayer. It's a baby's dimension of prayer. I have your soul and your body.

Stay with me. The bible says as long as he sought the Lord, the Lord made him prosper. As long as he sought the Lord, the Lord made him prosper. God is making you prosper. You're not receiving these things. I said God is making you prosper. There are some of you that goes and have gone ahead of you. We eat of your wealth. I hear God saying the mockery is ending. Help him.

Let me also say this. You can be wealthy without knowing the lord. Yes. You can be wealthy without serving god. That is true. But the peace and the joy and the fulfillment that comes with being wealthy and prosperous only comes from God. There are many people today who are rich without God. That's it. The bible even makes it clear. There are several in scriptures that were rich without God.

There are billionaires who would not believe in Jesus. There are occultic organizations worth billions of dollars who are directly antichrist. So do not be surprised when you see nonbelievers prosper. People who are vocally resistant to the gospel are prospering. I thought someone someone showed me something. The guy there is a guy who who who unashamedly tears down preachers, tears down men of God, tears down anyone who stands for Christ, and someone just sent him a huge amount of money to support his vision. I think somebody will look at it and say, why why are we not having God? The peace and the fulfillment that comes with being wealthy only comes from God. Why am I saying this? So that when I start showing you God's system of prospering his children, you will not start making references to unbelievers who have some level of results outside of God and trying to trying to just oppose kingdom principles with what they do.

That's the fool's errand. Proverbs 10 and verse 22, the blessing of the Lord, it makes one rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. That means anyone who prospers you, add something to it. Whatever is the source of your blessing will always come with something added. If it came from God, then you can know that it has no sorrow with it. There are people who got money at the expense of their conscience. There are people who got money, but they had to fraternize with all kinds of occultic groups. There are people who have money and cannot sleep. There are many wealthy people who stash millions and billions in their account, yet they commit suicide. You will think the presence of money means that all these problems are gone.

No. Let me tell you this. There are problems that only come to your life because you are rich. There are problems you have no business with if you have no money. Money solve other problems, but the realm of wealth have its own problems too. The problems of the poor, majority, 90% of the problem of the poor, money can solve it. But what happens when a rich man has problems? You're not getting what I'm saying. When a man who is wealthy is bedeviled by problems, what then happens? The problems of the rich, only God can solve it.

Not be deceived to think that just because people are flashing designers, driving the most exotic cars, having the most luxurious living, and flashing all on social media and advancing their life without God and propagating their riches and the work that they have means that they have an admirable life. There is nothing you may have. So if you don't have God, you have nothing. Do not ever envy a man's riches without God. There is nothing to envy about it. I tell you, you don't want that life. Prosper without God is a mess. It comes with all kinds of baggages that your life cannot handle. I tell you, don't admire wealth without God. Solomon started with God, and God prospered in.

He got to a point where the wealth diverted his heart away from God. And the man got to a point where he became so lonely. There was a void in his heart that nothing could fill. He tried 700 wives, and they still could not fill it. He had a 300 concubines, and they still could not fill it. What kind of man marries 1,000 women? He said chapter two and verse 10. Solomon said, whatever my eyes desired, I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from pleasure. He was telling you, if I saw it and I like it, I get it.

That was how wealthy this guy was. Whatever my heart desired is mine. I didn't withhold myself from any level of pleasure, any kind of... You think about if Solomon did it. It means if cocaine existed in his time, he did it. If all these kinds of hard drugs. At the end of everything, what did he say? Vanity upon vanity. All. My hall cannot be vanished Because my hall has purpose.

In verse three, he said, I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine. Look at how NLT put it. NLT says, after much thought, I decided to cheer myself with wine. And while still seeking wisdom, I clutched at foolishness. It means a a point came. I became so lonely. It was so lonely being wise. I wanted to know what it means to be foolish. Amen. It's in your bible.

When when a man does... It will amaze you what a man will begin to do outside of God. Why do you think men go to clubhouses every weekend and they burn millions of naira in a clubhouse? Some go to places where women are dancing naked, and they burn millions of naira for a woman to come and dance on their laps. And they just sit down there. What kind of pleasure does that give you? After that happens, what happens? You go home still lonely, still unfulfilled, still sad, still with a void in your heart that no man can fill. Ah, Jesus Christ. What a life.

So when you say there are people who don't know Jesus, yet they are wealthy, you don't know the depth of the problems that some of these people go through. Satan attacks everybody. Satan attacks what? Everybody. Everybody. Peace is the one thing that money cannot give. The bible says in John fourteen twenty seven, my peace I live with you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives. There is a way the world gives peace. And the way the world gives peace, if you to go back that way, you will never have peace.

Because the world makes you believe that all of sudden things are in your life, you have no peace. So you can see a man who has lots of cars, but that a new car just come out and he loses his peace until until he arrive at his doorstep. There are people that feel okay. Ah, I'm not doing all of that. If you come to Jesus just because you want to have money, you'll be disappointed and you'll be frustrated because you will see people in your journey who has not... Who has no respect for Jesus, and yet they keep on having money. They go to clubhouses. They burn millions. Go to strip clubs. They burn millions.

Expose their body naked. They have the best things, and they have no respect nor regard for Jesus. If your only reason why you came to Christ is to have money, that donut will frustrate you. Only you can satisfy my soul. You can prosper financially without God, but the peace and the joy and the fulfillment that is added to God's dimension of prosperity. No business, no investment can give it to you. You don't get it in a bank. You only get it from Jesus. He's called the prince of peace, the giver of peace. So for those of you who just wants to hustle and then make it without god, you are saying, I I I don't wanna focus on my finances, this trust thing, this god thing.

I'm not interested. Listen to me. I'm giving you an advice upfront. You will get that money, but it will frustrate you. That is a route to a miserable life. The profit of money without God can give you the money, but you will miss something that will make the money useless at the end of the day. And there are people that came here today because they saw the tag of the meeting. Hey. I want to learn how to build a business. For them, this is like a business seminar.

Any of them need to make wealth. If it is God, no problem. If it is a motivational speaker, no problem. If it is a conference, no problem. As long as it is resulting on the wealth. What a terrible mentality. What a terrible mentality. My son, give me thine heart, not your money, not your riches, your heart. Let me have you. When I have you, then I can have every other thing.

Something more than gold. I have something more than gold. Something more than gold. I have something more than gold. That said, can I show you the spiritual forces that govern prosperity now? Yes, sir. You must understand that everything that God designs starts from the realm of the spirit. In Genesis, man came first as a spirit, then the body came and clothed the man that is the spirit. When he spoke in verse 26 chapter one of Genesis and said, let them have dominion over the earth, He wasn't speaking to the physical body of man because that had not yet been created. He was speaking to the spirit of the man.

Let them have dominion. Declaration of man started first from the realm of the spirit. A declaration of the indecision of God, then the man that was given to the spirit of man. Then man was made. In order of divine happenings, things first happen in the realm of the spirit, and then they manifest physically. Do you believe this? The calamity of Job started in the realm of the spirit before it manifested physically in time. There was a conversation that happened in heaven that Job was never a part of. From the foundation of the earth, the lamb was slain, the realm of the spirit. That was a spiritual reality, but there was a certain moment in time when that thing happened.

Yet it was a concluded fact from the realm of the spirit. Hebrews 11 verse three, MSG. The bible says by faith, we see the world called into existence by God's word. What we see created by what we don't see. What we see, you must believe that everything that you see is created by what you don't see. The physical realm is created always by the spiritual realm. So things begin in the spiritual realm before they manifest in the physical realm. That is why to only have an understanding of physical laws or the sense knowledge that govern result in the physical realm, you will be greatly limited. Life can be manipulated from the realm of the spirit, and every serious believer should begin their life from the realm of the spirit. Whatever you intend to do and become in in in this earth must begin from the realm of the spirit.

It must have its foundation in the realm of the spirit. Yet, unless the bible says the things that are seen are temporal. In other words, if you build on wealth on things that are seen, it will be temporal. You can lose it at any point in time. You will be a victim of economic clashes because these things are seen. If your wealth has no divine origin, if your prosperity has no spiritual origin, this is the problem with those who hustle and struggle and do all of these things and believe all I just need to do is to pursue is to pursue is to pursue and leave the realm of the spirit, Leave god. Leave the laws and god in the name of spirit out of it. You may succeed for a while, but time will tell. Time will tell eventually. Time will tell eventually.

Whatever you want to do and become in the physical realm must first be established in the spiritual. When it has to do with the subject of wealth, it starts first from the spirit. To approach the subject of wealth just from an economic standpoint or just a physical standpoint, you have already missed it. Your foundation is already shaky. Occultists know this. Nonbelievers know this, but believers are very few who know this. That to approach the subject of wealth only from a physical perspective is a recipe for failure. The proper foundation for wealth is the realm of the spirit. The same way when you look at the tree that is massive and is growing, a humongous tree, you see the magnificence of the tree in the physical realm, but the growth of the tree starts from under the ground, which you cannot see. The invincible part of it happens before the tree starts to sprout up.

And do you know that how large the tree becomes, the magnitude of the tree, the size of the tree is dependent largely on what happens under the ground you cannot see. This is exactly how wealth is. The strength of what you become in the physical realm is eventually dependent on on your investment in the spiritual. Most people go up and down financially because their wealth is a physical thing that has no spiritual root. The scripture shows that there are spiritual forces that empower men to be wealthy. Attempting to be wealthy god's way and ignoring the realm of the spirit will only have you wasting your time. The earth that we live in came from the realm of the spirit. The civic... The physical earth was framed by spiritual substance. The prosperity of Solomon began from the realm of the spirit.

I've read your Bible. Before it ever manifested physically, it was first a dream. It was an established reality in the realm of the spirit before it found expression physically. The calamity of Lot... Of Job. Sorry. The blessing of Abraham before it ever manifested physically came from the realm of the spirit. A vision he had with God, and God telling him, I will bless you. I will make you great. I will make you a great nation.

In blessing, I will bless you. In multiplying, will multiply you. I will increase you like the sands of the shores. All of these were spiritual realities. This is how the world was made. Bible says that the world was made by the words of God. This is how the earth was formed, by spiritual substance. Please believe what I'm telling you. Psalms 127 verse one. The bible says, unless the Lord builds the house.

This is a spiritual reality. God will not come down physically to build anything. But that unless this spiritual reality is in place, then they labor in vain. Who build it? Physical reality. Unless the Lord builds, will you ever see the Lord coming to come and build a house physically? But that there is a spiritual reality that a man entered into where the Lord also builds. And unless a man knows how to get God to build with him, whatever the man builds in time is a labor infertility. So says the bible. The bible says unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

Unless the Lord watches over the city, unless the Lord guards the spiritual then you will put watchmen there. You will put guards there, and you will think because they are holding guns, you are protected. But there are arrows that fly by night, that the eyes of the watchman cannot see. And when cancer is struck in your body in the night, no other can pick it. Spiritual forces that govern prosperity. You must understand in your journey to wealth that the source of my wealth, the source of my prosperity is spiritual. The foundation for whatever I might access, whatever I might amass in the physical realm is spiritual. The bible says, I will look up to the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord. I must know that my help comes from God.

It will come from God. It will route it through men to you, but you must never look at those men as the source of help. You must know that the source of your help is God himself, the realm of the spirit. The bible says promotion does not come from the East, doesn't come from the West, doesn't come from the South, but never includes the North because the North is the way of God. This means adherence, therefore, to spiritual laws is the foundation of understanding how money works in time and how God makes men prosper. The first spiritual force that govern prosperity on earth, and this is the foundation for the prosperity of the believer. You must understand this. It is the power of the covenant. This is the force of prosperity for the believer. The power of the covenant.

This is why I can never be poor. There is a covenant that I have with God. There is a covenant that the believer has with God that guarantees and secures your wealth on earth. Deuteronomy eight and verse 18, the bible says, and you shall remember the lord your god for it is he who gives you the power to make wealth, to get wealth. That he may establish his covenant. Usually, stop at the power to get wealth. But we don't realize that the way he gives you is to establish his covenant. In other words, not until you understand the covenant. The power to get wealth is not accessible to you. Because the reason he gives this to establish his covenant.

In other words, only those who he had established his covenant with have access to the power to get wealth. This is scripture. Prosperity in this kingdom does not answer primarily to prayer. It answers first to your understanding and to your practice of the covenant. What you are selling or your business, whatever business you are involved in is not what governs prosperity. What job you are doing is not what governs prosperity. Focusing first on all these things is missing the point. It's misplaced priorities. The bible says, God is the one who gives you the power to get wealth that he may establish his covenant. You see that?

That is a very important scripture because it means the power to get wealth that God gives is released on the platform of the covenant. A believer that wants to access the power to get wealth must therefore be in the covenant. Covenants are defined usually as a type of contract. But with God, a covenant is not just a contract. In as much as it work like one. A covenant with God is a relationship. First of all, it's a relationship, but it is a relationship that has now been formalized. It has been brought under sanctions. In a covenant, God makes a promise. He backs up the promise by the integrity of the...

Of his word. He swears by himself to stand by that promise. God tells you, this is what I will make your life into. This is what I will turn your life into. That is God making a covenant with man. Are you with me? Yes, sir. He makes it very clear what he's going to do for you, what he's gonna do to you, and then he makes a requirement from you. There will be the guarantee of what God will do to you. But adventure your own responsibility in that contract is agreed upon.

So the covenant has two roles. One is the giver. The other is the recipient. Stay with me. The covenant is bounded by the integrity of his word. When God is gonna make you great, he deals with you based on covenants. He tells you, this is what I'm gonna make out of your life. This is what I will do for you. This is what you are required to do. Mature believers, please understand what I'm telling you.

Deals with men based on covenant. The bible says, gather on to me my saints, my saints, those who I have made a covenant with by sacrifice. When God is gonna make you great, it will it will it will lavish covenant in your heart. It will give you visions, and it will show you what he's making your life into. It will tell you what he's turning your life into, and he backs up that vision by his word. He stands by it and says, except the heaven and the earth passes away, that is when my word will come back to me empty and But as long as the heaven and the earth remains, there is no word of mine that comes from my mouth that will come back to me empty. But that there is a term for this covenant. There is a requirement, a role that man has to play. Psalms 89 verse 34, the bible says, my covenant, I will not break nor alter the world that has gone out of my lips. God is a covenant keeper.

He says my covenant, I will not break. I will not alter the word that has come out of my lips. So you are the covenant keeping God. You are the covenant keeping God. You are the covenant God is a covenant keeper. His sight of his covenant is forever secure. Man's sight is what is variable. But when you lay hold on the terms that relates to you and you apply yourself to them, God is committed. Once you locate the covenant and you enter into it, all struggles come to an end. Because the most...

The moment you do, the power to get what is released upon your life. You don't pray for the covenant. You don't confess the covenant. You don't pray the covenant. You enter into the covenant. It's a different thing. Many confess the covenant. Many pray the covenant. Whereas, they have refused to enter into the covenant. In second Chronicles chapter 15 verse 12, the bible says, then they entered into a covenant.

Then they entered into a covenant. A covenant is entered into. And once you have entered it, you lock the door. You see, I've given myself to the terms of this agreement. I will serve the purposes of this covenant and watch God play his role. Watch this. To seek the Lord thy God. To seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul, and they make this a matter of covenant. They say, God, we will seek you with all our heart. We will seek you with all our soul.

Verse 15, watch this. The bible says that and all Judah rejoice at the oath for they had sworn with all their heart and sought him with all their soul. They have sworn and they have sought him. And what happened? He was found by them. And the Lord, you see, that covenant giver. That covenant giver. And the Lord gave them rest all around. These people, do you know why it was important? Because they were victims of war.

They have been fighting wars upon wars. They've been held captive by people who are... Who came to besiege their land. They have never known a day of peace. And they say, you know what? Let us enter into a covenant with God. We won't break the covenant. We won't confess the covenant. We know the terms of his covenant. If we give our heart to him, if we seek him with all our heart, then he has a role to play because he will not go back on his word.

And the bible says, God was found by them, and God gave them rest hand about. Look at what God says about how he intentionally is with his covenants. Jeremiah 33 verse 20. The bible says, thus said the lord, if you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that there shall be no day and night in their season, then my covenant may also be broken with David my servant. In other words, the reason why the day and the night will always come is because God has had a covenant with the day and night. And God will call to say, the day you can break it. The day you can successfully stop day from coming and night from coming. That is the day that my covenant with David, with you, with Emmanuel Boluwatifem, with DCN. And since that can never happen, he's telling you the immutability of his covenant, that there is no one that enters into a covenant with me who is not rest assured that this is not secured. It is a force that governs prosperity.

Stay with me. In Deuteronomy eight verse 22, the bible says as long as the head remains, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night shall not cease. In verse 18 that we read, it says that he may establish his covenant that is swore to your fathers as it is till this day. In other words, the covenant he has established with Abraham, with Noah, with David is still existing till this day. It means I can read the scripture, see what was promised to Abraham, and key into the terms of the covenant. I want to show you how men prosper. All else may fail, but the covenant can never fail. In Genesis 12 verse one and two, God told Abraham to get out of his country onto a land that he will show him. In verse nine and verse 10, Abraham moved as he was commanded. Yet when he got to the land, he met famine there.

He met terrible famine there, but the covenant, the covenant, the covenant. In chapter 13 verse two, the bible says despite the famine, despite the famine, Abraham was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. That was in famine. That is the power of the covenant. The immutability of the covenant. How about during the time of Jacob? Do you remember Jacob? In Genesis 43 verse one, the bible says there was famine in the land, and that famine was severe. Jacob, that famine was Isaac, Abraham's son. Inside famine, all of them went through famine.

And we saw the immutability of the covenant in famine because all of them prosper in famine. The bible is very relatable to Nigerians. Because majority of the experience in scripture, we experience. Abraham prospered in Isaac sold in that same land, prospered in famine. Jacob, when he got the blessing, also went. In 43 verse one, the bible says the famine was so severe. He sent his children to go and meet Joseph in Egypt to collect food. They didn't know that it was his son. Remember? Yes, sir.

They went there with money, and then Joseph, recognizing them as his products, didn't collect the money from them. Remember that story? Yes, sir. He sent them back with their money and gave them the food. But watch this. Inside farmer, you know. Inside farmer. Verse 11, the bible says and their father, Israel, said them... Said it to them. If it must be so, then do this.

In other words, he thought that it was a mistake that they forgot to collect money from them. He then send them back to go and return the money. But watch what he does. If it must be so, then do this. Take some of the best fruits of the land. Verse one. The bible says the famine was severe in the land. It means they didn't go to buy food because they didn't have fruits. The bible says they had picked some of the best fruits of the land. Look at this.

In your vessels, carry down a present for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices, mare, pitachio, nuts, almonds. How do you have presents befitting a prime minister? In famine. That's not all. In famine. Next verse. One, two, three. Go. Us. Infirmary.

You will think they went there as beggars. Hey. Come and help us. No. Infirmary, they had double money. Look at how useless money was. They thought, can just give him double money, give him this, give him that in famine, in severe famine. My god. The covenant makes men prosper regardless of the condition, regardless of the climate. In other words, if you see a man who is suffering because things are bad, it is a proof that he has not been a recipient of a covenant.

The at the covenant. 11 and verse 12. Deuteronomy 28. The Bible says the Lord will grant you abundant prosperity. Amen. NIV. NIV. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity. In the fruit of your womb, the junk of your livestock, the crops of your ground, in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

Verse 12, the Lord will open the heavens. The storehouse of his bounty to send rain on the land in season to bless the works of your hands. He says, you will lend to many nations. And you will borrow from none. Look at the covenant. Look at the covenant. This is what me have plugged into. Me have entered into this. I am a lender to nations, so I borrow from none. It will bless the works of your hands.

It will open the heavens for you. Your storehouse will be filled. Blessed are you when you go out. Blessed are you when you come in. This is the covenant. Your own responsibility is to understand the terms of this covenant. We don't just pray it. We don't just confess it. We don't just fast for it. We enter into it by engaging the terms of the covenant.

Look at Job 36 verse 11. The bible says, if they obey and serve him, what will happen? One, three, This is covenant. In other words, if they would follow the terms of the agreement, the terms of the covenant, then the rest of their years will be in prosperity. Are you blessed? Yes, sir. Genesis eight verse 22. The bible says while the earth remains, what is the tenth of the covenant? Seed time and harvest. That is the covenant.

Seed time and harvest. That all the promises God has told you, everything God said they will do is harvest. Your responsibility is to ensure there is a seed that provokes harvest. In other words, there can be no harvest if there is no seed sown. This is the term of the covenant. That for every harvest, there must be a seed sown. The harvest is God's responsibility, and it will always come as a response to the seed that is sown. God is prospering you. In this land, you are prospering. Listen.

Where people have said there's a casting down, your testimony is there's a lifting up. Policies that have been set up to block people from the places of wealth and power, They are broken for your sake. Hear me? Have your seat. Seed and harvest. A seed that is sown that provokes and harvest. Second Corinthians chapter nine verse six. The bible says, remember this, a farmer who plants only a few seeds, NLT, will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. NKJV says, he who sows sparingly will reap sparingly.

He who sows bountifully will reap bountifully. In other words, in the terms of the covenant, God leaves how wealthy you become to you. God says, listen. I'm not the one in control of how bountiful you reap this harvest. If I've told you that you will learn to nations, how much you are able to learn to nations is entirely up to you. The rule that governs it is whoever so sparingly, the others that will come is by law sparing. Whoever makes his seed bountiful, the others that will come is by law bountiful. This is a covenant that is backed up by the integrity of God. Continuing in verse n... In NLT, it says you must each decide in your heart how much to give.

What we sow, therefore, is what we give. The principle that governs the harvest, the principle that governs the covenant is the law of giving and receiving. Let me say this very clearly. If you do not give, you will not prosper. Without mincing words, quote me anywhere. If you do not give, you will not prosper. In God, in this kingdom. Let me tell you something. Believers, preacher would say things like, we don't give to receive from God. We give because we love God.

That is very true. But that is also very wrong because we give to receive. Both statements are true. It is a length... It is a step of maturity to understand that the motivation for your giving is now because we love the Lord. Does not mean that nothing happens when we give. Yes, sir. Because the bible says give and it shall be given unto you. Good measure. Pressed down, shaken together, running over shall men bring onto your bosom.

This is a spiritual law. So in as much as the motivation behind that giving is sponsored by love, you must understand that there is no way that we give that we don't provoke a covenant. The idea is that we give and then we receive. You must each decide how much to give, and don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a person who gives cheerfully. Verse eight, and God will generously provide all your need. Can you see this covenant again? That as a man decides to give cheerfully, then God will generously provide all that you might need. It means that when a man decides to give, he can never lack. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

Why? Because we give. This is scripture And plenty leftovers to share with others. How you enter into this covenant of prosperity is on the platform of giving and receiving. Let me tell something. Giving is as spiritual as prayers. Giving is as spiritual as fasting. Jesus was talking about the basic requirement of consecration in Matthew six when he was talking about what to do and what not to do after the order of the Pharisees. He said don't pray like they pray. Don't fast like they fast.

The third one was don't give like they do. Jesus Christ puts giving in the same category as prayer and fasting. Prayer and fasting is as spiritual as giving. How you take prayer is how you take giving. If you pray every day, you give every day. Yes, Yes, We do giving. We do giving as though... Let's not talk about it. You know, we know people have people have so bastardized giving. Men of God have so...

Are they bastardized prayer? Because it has to do with material things, then we think as though it's not holy. No. No. The bible says Jesus went to the temple, and he stood by the offering basket looking at what every man was giving. Yes, sir. And when he saw a woman that gave the everything she has, every... A 100%, Jesus said this woman has given more than everybody who gives. What was he doing by the offering basket? Jesus, your lord and savior.

And the bible called him the express image of God. The express image of God was by the offering basket. And he was observing what men are giving. Because he's a... He was not observing their prayer request. He was observing what they were giving. Listen to me. If you do not give, you cannot prosper. How you enter into that covenant is through the principle of relentless and less giving. They're not careful when it comes to giving.

In the world, prosperity is defined by how much you have. In God, prosperity is defined by how much you give. First Corinthians 16 verse two, the bible says, on the first day of the week, let each one of you... It means every week. Let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper. Ah, Jesus Christ. In other words... He said storing up. In other words, store up to give. Store up to give.

Storing up as he may prosper. Let him give. Let him give. We stock up to give as God prospers us. We save to give. We stretch to give. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. To break into certain levels of results that no eyes have seen. You take a sacrifice that stretches your heart.

We want to break into wealth and prosperity. One of the things that must happen to you is that your heart must be enlarged. In Proverbs 11 verse 25, the bible says a liberal soul, the soul that gives. In verse, the liberal soul shall be made fat. The general soul, the soul that is, experiences enlargement of heart. Are you seeing this? Yes, sir. It is giving that makes your heart accommodate large visions. There are miracles that cannot land on your life because your heart cannot receive it. Someone came to me, and I held the person's hand.

And I told the person, go and prosper. He said, amen. Go and prosper. He said, amen. Go and prosper. He said, amen. I heard, I'm seeing you giving 1,000,000, 2,000,000, 3,000,000. He said, amen. Amen. Amen.

And then from then I jumped to I'm seeing you giving 100,000,000. It was quiet. And it was it was it was was it in the subconscious. He didn't even know he was quiet. I just say amen. Amen. It shows you that his heart could not receive it. The... His heart has not been enlarged. And when your heart is not enlarged, it means there are ideas that can never flow into it.

There are visions of expansion you can never have. The bible says what what causes for enlargement of heart to accommodate possibilities beyond your age is the liberal soul, the soul that gives. The bible says that when Solomon gave a thousand offerings, God came to him and asked him, what do you want? Has God not seen him before? Has he not been serving God before? The moment he gave a a thousand cows as sacrifice to God, God asked him, what do you want? At the end of that mission, the bible says that God made his heart as large as the the sand in the fishes. In Genesis 12 verse seven, God appeared to Abraham, and God told Abraham, unto thy seed, I will give this land. Unto thy seed, I will give which land? This land.

What was Abraham's response he gave? Right there, he gave a sacrifice to God and erected an altar. That was how he received it. I will show you that the fact that God told him this did not mean that he received it. However, his response instantly was a sacrifice. What that sacrifice did was that it opened his eyes because the aperture with which you give is the aperture with which you receive. Is there also the aperture with which you see? That sacrifice opened his eyes. So God had to come again in chapter 13 when Lord left him. The moment Lord left him, God came and told him, Abraham, lift your eyes now and look.

The same thing God told him in 12 verse seven. God now told him, now you have the power to see. I'm not just telling you I will give you the land. Now your eyes have been opened to see the land I say I will give you. Now lift your eyes and look northward, southward, eastward as far as your eyes can see. Giving opens your eyes. There are some of you that God has been trying to communicate certain visions, too big a project, massive ideas, but your heart cannot receive it. Stretch yourself in giving. Do so again and again and again. I told some people, I said the saving that you are saving cannot save you.

I am not against saving. I preach saving. I propagate saving. I'll ever prioritize giving over saving. Sir. Sir. The bible says in Proverbs eleven twenty four, the bible says, there is he that's catcheth and yet increase it. There is he that withhold more than his meat. More than his meat. There is he that withhold more than his meat.

In other words, it's not a bathing door with old. It's a bathing door with old more than his meat. But the bible does not say there is he that scattereth more than his meat. It means you can never over give. You can never get to a point where you think I've given too much because giving only does one thing. It advances your destiny and launches you to prosperity. But the bible says, the person who he thinks is wise in himself and is withholding more than scattering, he tends to poverty. It tends to poverty. Ecclesiastes 11 verse one, the bible says cast your bread upon the waters for you will find it after many days. Cast your bread upon the waters.

Cast your what? A young lady came to me and told me, sir, I heard a preaching. The preacher said that God gives sow... Seed to the sower and bread to them that need food. So preacher said that I should never sow... So the the bread is what God gives me for my food, and the seed is what must be sown that my bread, I must not sow it. It's for me. I must eat it. I said I said whoever to do that is not wise. Because the same bible says, cast your bread upon the waters.

There are times when that same bread is requested for. There are many times we... What does this mean? It means there are many times when we give, And there will be nothing in the house to eat. If you think that the reason we give is because we have so much, you are deceived. We give that we may have so much. The idea... Listen. The bible says, cast your bread upon the waters for you will find it after many days. Verse two says, give a portion to seven and a portion to eight for you not know what evil will be for the earth.

Verse three says, if the clouds be full of rain... What are the context? Giving. If the context is given, it tells you that every time you give, you are making your cloud full of rain. And your cloud will not pour down, will not empty itself to you until it is full. It means to scarcely give would mean that this car... The cloud will scarcely gather. It is foolishness to scarcely give. To give once in a while, it is something you commit your life to doing. You commit your entirety of your existence to it, and the reason is so that your cloud might be full of rain.

And when the cloud is full of rain, it emptied itself upon the waters, upon the earth. Verse four says, it means when you are giving, the dividends of your giving may not come immediately because it is gathering up as a cloud. I remember those days when we were giving. I thank God I knew this early. I really thank God I did. I started giving recklessly from when I was collecting 10,000 naira allowance. Right now, I give millions without without without blinking an eye. But we didn't start now. Right now, if I empty my account, I know that before the end of the day, money will come to me. That was not how it was before.

We don't give now because we know it will come back. Because when we said, I give in. We're not even sure if it will come back. Yet we gave regardless. Are you with me? Sir. Giving to me has become an habit. It is now an addiction, and God is the one that sponsors my habit. Sir. There are habits the devil sponsors.

There are habits God himself sponsors. Before I came to this meeting this morning, I emptied my account three nights. Three nights. Some people send an amount of money to me while I was praying tonight. In six digits, I emptied it. I was still preparing for my teaching this morning. Someone had to send us my other money to me. Entered it. I was outside the church. The moment I came to the church, I checked my account, and I saw somebody I sent this.

I entered it. Because it's a lifestyle. It has become an addiction. It has become something we do. That is why I I can I can never be poor? I am I am irrevocably attached to the terms of the covenant. Are you with me? The bible says he who observes the wind will not sow. It means we don't give because we don't have... The reason we give is not as though we don't have what to use money for.

We can also choose to observe the wind. The bible says you can also choose to observe the wind. And if you observe the wind, you will not give. Oh, I have to do this. I have to do that. There will always be what we have to use money for. Last week, there was a couple of millions in the mutual account. We emptied a large portion of it in sacrifice for manifest conference, yet there are bills to be sorted out. There are bills to be sorted out. Is it because the wiser thing to do is to withhold and store and say, ah, let's sort at this conference that's coming up.

Never. Never. Never. Never. Even as a ministry. Once you become reckless about it, it has not become your lifestyle. I pray that today, the grace that makes men give recklessly is lying upon you. Hear me? Let me... Listen.

Let me hand on this note. What giving does is that it it it it reconfigures the earth to accommodate your increase. Many of the benefits in this ministry did not exist before. They came out of giving. When you give, you are creating things. Your assignment is to treat giving as a covenant instrument of your lifting. Don't give sparingly. Give bountifully. Do not withhold your hands from giving. Give every time every day until money becomes useless to you.

The bible says you will lay up gold as dust. It means not until gold becomes dust. Will not you will not lay it up. It doesn't say you will lay up gold as bricks. You will lay it up as dust. Who lays up dust? What do you do with dust? You sweep it off. But what happens with dust? Even after you sweep it off, it will say come back before the money.

That is the nature of dust. That is why the Bible says you will lay up gold as dust. That are... The the more you sweep it off, the more you'll find it in your account. That is the idea. Giving is how your horn is exalted. There are people that are never recognized no matter the good that they do. When people keep on allotting your recommendation to somebody else, you are dealing with obscurity. There are people that don't have height in their life. They are not tall in their field of influence, so nobody sees them.

They advertise a market for Monday night, but nobody comes. When they are deserving of a reward, of a promotion, or of an appraisal, They are deserving of it, but they pass them by. They take what is... What what is belonging to them, and they give it to somebody else. Ideas that he gave when it is time for the monthly board meeting. This MD that he gave the idea to will mention somebody else's name and say this idea came from them. And he will be there and then say, ah, but it came from me now. It means that person does not have height. When what is belonging to you always goes to somebody else, height is missing. It is the mystery of the exalted horn.

Giving is what increases your height. My own has now exalted like the own of the unicorn. If you are talented and you don't give, nothing much will happen to you. The bible says the giving of a man is what makes room for him. In NIV, NIV says, the giving of a man ushers in in the presence of the great. The giving of a man. If you want honor in your life, be a giver. Don't give apparently. Keep at it. Become addicted to giving, and God starts to sponsor a bit.

Some of you are not addicted to giving. You are you are trying it on the surface. That is not when to draw out your hands on giving. Stay there until you become addicted, until your joy is now in the action, not in the reward. Do you get that? Yes, sir. Exalted horn means anywhere you are, you are elevated. Anywhere you are, you are chosen. They are thinking of who to use for this thing is you. Your name is what comes to everybody's mind.

How to do that is to give. Anywhere you are, you are located above others. You are recommended above others. There are people that do big... Build nice... You know? That you sell to people and they don't remember you. And yet they thank you. They appreciated you. They say, ah, this thing is so nice.

You don't give. That's why. If you give, people will not be able to keep quiet on your matter because you will receive height. Height means everywhere you are, people see you. The tallest person always stands out. These are the spiritual forces that govern prosperity. You need honor in your life. Honor is what gives you platform to prevent or steal before greatness. If that platform does not open unto you, there's no honor in your life. So there are people that have skills, for instance, but the skills...

They've always had platform to stand in front of people that will value the skill enough to reward them for it. That was what happened to David o. When David was given the opportunity to to kill Goliath, he wasn't the only one that was there. He could have been easily dismissed. It takes honor for you to be given platform. And there are many people that if you don't... If you are not given platform, you will die with the potentials. You will die with the giftings. Please believe what I'm telling you. Sir.

Lifting happens when we give. We have access to enduring help when we give. Your seed may leave your hand, but it never leave your destiny. After Jacob received the blessing from Isaac, one of the thing that happened to him was the presence of angelic ministry. He started seeing visions upon visions. After... Yeah. Help was opened up onto him. The way he secured that help was through a sacrifice. Learn to me.

Listen to me, brother, brothers, that's... Tell yourself I will be a relentless giver. I will be a relentless giver. Come rain, come sunshine. If you need it... Listen. Listen. Listen. There is no project that I embark on that I don't give for. When I find myself in competitive atmospheres, I give a seat for it because it takes height to be noticed.

So when I find that I'm in a challenging environment and I want my head to be lifted, I'm competing for something, a seat must follow me. A seed must follow me. Seasons of my life, I don't wanna share partner experiences with you so that you don't become... I just leave it alone. It's good if your faith is rested on the word of God. God is prospering you. Rise up on your feet. Listen. Listen. Don't think for a moment that I'm teaching this because I want to raise a seat.

Oh, god forbid. God forbid. God has blessed us. Do you know that for some for for some for some time? I had a personal weakness of receiving it from people. When people give... Bring material things and all of that, I don't... I I tell them I bless it, but I give it to you back. It was something that I struggled with to receive things from people. It just feels somehow.

And God has to come and rebuke me that you gave things to people and they blessed you and you and you rose. Yet you are denying people the opportunity to be blessed. How to repent? How to repent? Since the inception of this ministry, the giving has only gone up. I told someone yesterday and said, between January and today, I have given more than I've given in the last ten years. In last ten years of my life, within January and today. Let me not tell you. Oh god. This is something we have committed our lives to, and so we continue to experience increase upon increase.

I was living in a house, a two story building, and I was preparing for massive height in my life to take the next phase of my destiny. And I said, you know what? I'm gonna fill up this house. And God told me, no. It is not time to fill up your house, fill up your destiny first. I was I was receiving salary, a salary up to 500,000, and I was staying in an empty apartment, giving everything that comes to my heart. It's not because I could not afford anything. If you came to visit me, we'll go and get chairs for you. Plastic chair, sit down, then we talk. Then we talk.

Nothing in the empty house for almost two years. Yet receiving a salary that could build the house. But I would rather build my destiny. We have found out that there are things that are priority in this kingdom. Giving is one of such. It is a foolish believer that saves more than he gives. A foolish believer. Every time I am breaking my personal record in giving. Every time. Every time.

There is a amount of money I cannot drop as offering anymore in my... Again in my life. I can't drop an... It's an insult comparing where God has blessed me right now. You must make this a part of your life. This is how you enter into the covenant, and you seal yourself up in harvest. That come rain, come sunshine. Listen to me. People think that people think that if you are a poor person or you don't have means or the financial wherewithal to purchase things, what you do is to beg for things and collect it from people, you will forever be poor. Teach the poor to give.

That is how they come out of poverty. When I see someone who is always coming, who is always come, the bible says, let them that have no job amongst you, let them get the work that they might have to give. Let him that steal, steal no more. Let him walk that he might have not for himself, not to eat, to give. Scriptures. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? Yes, sir. Yes. This is the foundation of everything I'm gonna be talking about. So that by the time I start taking you business and all these things, you will not think that that is what makes for prosperity.

Without the spiritual principles in place, we are only pulling our legs. Are you with me? Yes. Yes. Are you ready to pray? Yes, sir. Place your hand on your head. The prayer you are praying for yourself is this, the grace that makes me give recklessly. The grace. Listen, Jesus says, no one taketh my life away from me.

I have the power to lay down. The is called the power to lay down. The power to lay down. The grace to give whatever. The power to lay down whatever. But if God requests for anything, there is the wherewithal. There is the ability, the empowerment to lay down. Can you pray that the grace that commands possibilities in the realms of giving, let it rest upon my life. Come on, pray. Come on, pray.

Come on pray. Pray. Pray. Pray. Pray. In Jesus mighty name we've prayed. Can I prophesy over your life? This will happen in every meeting. The empowerment that makes men give, the power to lay down. There is nothing that God will hacks of me that I cannot lay down.

That there is nothing that will be an idol in my heart. Nothing that becomes too big. No amount of money becomes too big for my heart to handle. I have the power to lay down, Jesus says. I declare that power to lay down. Let it come upon your life. Hear me? As you are leaving this place, as you are leaving this place, the empowerment that makes men prosper, the grace that makes men prosper, receive it now. Help. Help her.

Help her. The strength that is needed to leap through walls. The bible says the Lord strengthen me, and he make my feet like iron's feet. I will leap upon hills, upon my high places. Right now I declare, that strength will be released upon you. You are leaping upon your high places. God is changing your financial status. Your fortune is changing today. Listen, doors of opportunities have opened up onto you. The bible says, I am the Lord thy god and given the power to make wealth.

That power to make wealth. Let it rest upon your life tonight. Receive it now. Whatever your hand finds doing, go and prosper in it. I see about 17 people. I see that you were doing something. You are you are doing something even currently. There is a business. There is a career. There is something that you're doing, either a skill you have learned or a a good you are selling.

But for some time now, within the space of about two or three months, there's been, like, a mountain in front of you that you cannot leap over. There's been... You you you eat a wall, and it looked as though progress was in that. Progress was limited. Progress was stopped. But right now, as I'm speaking, I declare by the power of God, let those walls be broken. Let those walls be broken. Let those walls be broken. Let those walls be broken. In the name of Jesus.

Now God is making a way. For some people, see that it is manifesting as your eyes opening to see the way. God is giving you a different strategy, a different way of doing it, a different result. In the name of Jesus. Listen, I wanna pray a prayer for you that I will explain maybe on Tuesday or another day during this series. Just believe what I'm praying for you. Is that okay? Yes. You may not understand it, but just believe it. God is giving you access.

Hear me? To rich men. Wealthy men. People of influence. People of influence. In the name of Jesus. Listen. Listen. Access to one man can change your life forever. I tell you.

I tell you. I tell you. Somebody just sees what you do, and they say, oh, you are a photo designer. You say, really? Wow. They will not ask you how much do you charge. They will just tell you, take this 5,000,000. Go and sew anything for me. Let me see it. Listen.

If they had asked you, how much do you charge? You would have probably said 5,000, 10,000. They just tell you, ah, you sow. Come come on. Take this 5,000,000. Go and sow anything from me. Hear me? There are men like that. There are men like that. God will give you access to those men.

Access to men of influence. Hear me. Let your life carry favor. There's a young man outside I'm seeing. You experienced a loss recently, but God is seeing a restoration. Restoration. Recovery. Restoration. Recovery. In the name of Jesus.

There's someone in the gallery I'm seeing. God is shooting your head up high. What I'm seeing is Greater International doors opening for you. Hey. God said that you announce some people here. You have not seen anything oh. You have not seen anything. You have not seen anything. The next level of your lifting will shock you. In the name of Jesus.

Go and prosper. Go and prosper. Go and make wealth. In the name of Jesus. From this meeting, you have... You are giving like you have never given. You are giving like you have never given. Hear me. Hear me. Hear me.

Seeds, you have had to gather money to sow. You are sowing in one day. You are sowing in one hour. What was once your sacrifice is becoming your tithe. Because God is shifting you into financial increase. For some of you, you will start talking in eight figures, nine figures, eight figures, nine figures. God is expanding you, enlarging your coast, enlarging your territory in the name of Jesus. The kind of favor that is coming upon you will make men look at you, and they will tell you, come and take this house. Come and take this land. Come and take this car.

Come and take this property. Come and take this estate. In the name of Jesus, receive it now. Thank you, Jesus. Celebrate God for what he has done here.
