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. If you've been alive for some time, you'd have heard people argue or you'd have read on the Internet or sat down in a sermon or listened to a teaching where someone is talking about the prosperity gospel. I don't have... Today, I'm gonna be very brief. Someone is talking about the prosperity gospel. It is said that there is this new gospel called the prosperity gospel.

And a lot is said about what it means and what it has done as of damage to the body of Christ. And in my many years of service, I've seen three kinds of people as regards to those that oppose the prosperity message, and their argument is one. In the first category, some people believe that prosperity or being materially blessed, especially financially or materially is not the will of God or the central will of God for the believer. In fact, I heard one fellow strongly saying that those who preach the prosperity gospel are telling the church that it's the will of God for people to be successful. And if you are a believer, you believe that it's the will of God for you to be successful, then you become wealthy. So this group says, no. There are people who have died and are righteous. How would you say that one proof of God's blessing upon your life is material wealth and prosperity. There are people who have left all for God and yet were righteous. There are people who have died poor, who have labored for God in poverty, and they are righteous.

And they use scriptures like it is very hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven the same way it is hard for a camel to go through the high of a needle. So their argument is that they they they hold on to the belief that this teaching makes people pursue wealth and materiality as opposed to God. So there are those who believe outrightly that it's not the will of God for men to prosper. Even this school of thought also also suggests that prosperity is not among the things that Christ died for. And so they come against preachers who prophesy that God can bless people materially, who pray that God should, you know... Some even are against weekly blessings. If a preacher come on Sunday and say, I bless your week. In this week, you will do this. In this week, you're doing that. And then they bring all sort of charge against that to say that God is not a magician.

God is not an errand boy. You cannot say... You can't just dispense God like that. There are protocols and all of that. And they believe that since there are unbelievers who are blessed in material things, and by that I mean who are materially successful, it suggests that you don't need God to be materially successful. So material success therefore cannot be part of what God died for, being that even those who have not accepted the death of Christ are materially successful. And the argument is that if it is part of what Christ died for, then it should not be accessible to you unless you have entered into Christ. However, there are several people, as many as... As a matter of fact, richest people you would find in the world materially are people who don't know Christ. So they argue that all a believer needs is the natural laws of the universe, like hard work, like, you know, exchanging value for reward and all of that.

This is their school of thought, and these people are genuine at heart. Alright? And there are others who have done all that they've been taught to do with respect to wealth creation, and somehow it just did not work. These people were once believers of the subject of prosperity in Christ, but they tried all the principles they gave, they tithed, and somehow it didn't work either because they missed an instruction or they didn't understand the instruction or have the level of patience and perseverance needed for what they have sown to better results. They therefore came to a conclusion. They tried everything and it did not work. And so they came to a conclusion that the fact that it not work for them suggests that it's not part of what God has made available, so they disqualified. Are you with me? So it's like people who don't believe in divine healing because they have not experienced it or because they have been sick and they prayed and nothing has happened, so they outrightly disband the subject of healing. They believe that because it didn't work with you or work for you, therefore, it cannot work or it does not exist.

So you change the doctrine of the bible because you didn't experience it in your own personal life. Listen, even if you are praying for someone to be healed every day and every day you are praying, every day you're fasting, every day you're confessing scriptures and the person eventually died, healing still takes place. It does not cancel out the reality of healing. Your experience is not what defines scripture. Scripture defines scripture, and scripture ultimately defines the reality. There are several people today who have become atheist, and I think it is also because we have not taught this generation how to hold on to God regardless of their experiences. Because you see, there are many reasons why many things might not work even as you practice them. Some might be because of your misappropriation of the principle. Some might be because you don't even understand the principle. Some might be because of some underlying conditions you have not checked.

And so to outrightly believe that because you did not experience something, cancels out the effect of that thing is foolishness. We've got to teach this generation how to stick through to the word of God, how to stay, the staying power, the fortitude for staying with God even when it doesn't seem to work in the moment that you've applied it. So many people have just given up and they've left church. So many people have become atheist for this reason. Some people would say I've been in that church for three years. I've not seen anything in my life. What am I even doing there? Whereas, the fruit is growing downwards before bearing fruit upwards. Are you with me? Many years ago, I did a research and as I was studying, I found out about the Chinese bamboo tree.

A very interesting tree. It takes five years for that tree to be nurtured. Sometimes even ten years. Sometimes even fifteen years. And as that tree is being nurtured, when it is planted, for the period of five years, you can study on the Chinese bamboo tree. You would find out that you find nothing growing out of the ground for a period of five years. The Chinese bamboo tree remains as you have planted it underground for over five years, some of them ten years. And the farmer would keep on coming to farm, nurturing the plant within the place, watering the products, pouring manure. And whilst... That period, you would have planted maize more than a 100 times and harvested.

But the Chinese bamboo tree, which happens to have the highest of relevance in China, funny enough, used for majority of the household product, an extremely valuable tree that can push one into wealth overnight takes over five or ten years to grow, and that's not even to grow, to come out of the ground. Guess what? When that season is complete, it then takes the Chinese bamboo tree five weeks to grow to maturity. Five weeks to grow into maturity. Such is the experience of a believer. So where God is working on you, it might look as though nothing is happening. Right? And you keep on investing energy, pouring the manual, sowing seeds, and doing all of that. And eventually, there comes a season of manifestation. Believers must be taught to hold on to God regardless of what experiences they might be having.

If this understanding has been furnished into several believers, we would not have as many rebels we have today in the name of atheist. Most atheists you'll find today are people who have become disappointed in God or in the church because they walked a principle, prayed to God, expected it something from some form of miracle, but never got what they were looking for. And so they termed it as this thing does not work. God does not exist. Are you with me? The third category of people are those... There are people that saw them which abused the way of prosperity. And the only way they've developed to heal from that abuse was for them to launch a full blown attack on the message as of to assume that the problem was the doctrine and not the individuals. There's no truth that cannot be corrupted. No invention that cannot be abused.

The bible says even the devil is capable of pretending to be an angel of light. I saw a news some time ago of a woman who carried a baby because she didn't want the baby and she put the baby inside a oven. That's the same oven that used to make your food. Now the question is, is that the purpose of the oven? Would you then assume that because someone threw a baby in a oven because they didn't want the baby, the problem was the oven? So you say, let's stop using ovens. They can be used to kill children. Look at the foolishness therefore in thinking that because some crook of people abused something, it means that what they abuse is the problem. The drug that they use to put people to sleep in... What what is it...

What does it contain? What does it contain? Do you know the comp... The composition? Who knows the major composition of that drug? Or what they used to numb pain? Was what? Cocaine. And what was the medical use of it? Easily.

Now the fact that that thing has been abused, does it eliminate the original purpose of it? Are you with me? After all, it's not a leaf who created it. Glory to God. The abuse of a thing does not in any way eliminate the usefulness of the thing or the validity of the thing. So these people, in an attempt to correct something false, launched an attack on the message of wealth and prosperity. But there's no way you read scriptures with all sincerity, without adding any bias to it, that it does not become clear that it is God's will for a believer to prosper, for a ministry to prosper, for a people to prosper. In Deuteronomy chapter eight and verse 18, in the New King James version, God was speaking and he says, and you shall remember the Lord your God. Look at this. For it is he.

Who is the he there? It is he who gives you power to get wealth. Material wealth that is. Prosperity that is. Who gave you power to get wealth that he may establish his covenant which is so to your fathers at... Of it is this day. So God is invested in the prosperity of believers so much so, the enablement to prosper and to get wealth is given by God to the believer. You see, the problem many believers make is that they think that the blessing that God supplies is wealth. Or they think that the blessing that God supplies is riches. The blessing is not riches.

The blessing is not wealth. In Genesis chapter one, the Bible says, and God blessed them. So the first thing God said was, the first thing the Bible says was God blessed them in one and verse 26. God blessed them. God blessed them. 28. God blessed them. So the first thing God did was to release an empowerment. That blessing was an empowerment. God blessed them.

And having blessed them, he then said, be fruitful. So their fruitfulness was based on the fact that they had been blessed, was based on the fact that they had received an empowerment from God and the responsibility that came with that empowerment was productivity, multiplication, replenishing, subduing. All of these things were responsibilities as a result of the empowerment that came. Do you understand what I've just said? The believer therefore thinks that the empowerment that came is the wealth. And you know man fell. When man fell, man lost that blessing and man entered into curses. However, Jesus came and repaired what had been destroyed, renewed what had been destroyed. And that blessing came again in Ephesians because we have received all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The location of that blessing is in heavenly places.

That's interesting. The location of that blessing is in heavenly places. Now that's a problem because I'm not in heaven. I'm in Ibadan. I'm in your state. There's someone listening to me right now online who is in Canada, another person who is in Ghana, another person who is in The Philippines. We're not in heaven. These are material locations on earth. So what do we do then with blessings that have been given to us but kept in heaven? The issue is not only that it is kept in heaven.

There is a second indices. The second indices is that it is deposited in the account of Christ. So it's in heaven, in Christ. It wasn't deposited in your name. Neither was it deposited in your account. Who can tell me the reason for this? Who knows the reason for this? I like to call people who look away from me. Okay. Let's call the person that raised his hand.

Just speak out loud. There's no time. Clap clap for you. It was not deposited in your account because the first man in whose account the blessing was deposited in transferred it away from his account. He conducted a transfer through rebellion. He was a victim of scammers. He was duped. So it was it was it was decided that the blessing is not secured in your hands. So they ended to be two factor authentication. The first one was the first one was for you to be kept in heaven.

The second was for you to be secured in Christ so that if you wanted to access it, you would need to go through the Christ. When the devil received all that was in man's account, he came to Jesus and said, the kingdom of these worlds have been given to me. That was... Are you with me? It was Adam that made that transaction. That transfer happened with Adam. So God in repairing realized that this most secure thing to do is now ensure that anyone who would have access to the blessing would be in Christ. So as I was saying that the blessing is not riches. In Genesis, the blessing was an empowerment that facilitated productivity. And God blessed them and said, be productive.

So the preproductive there is an instruction. It's a responsibility. Are you with me? It's a responsibility that is to be facilitated by the empowerment that has come. That's why the bible says the blessing of God make it rich. The blessing of God is not riches. Bible doesn't say the blessing of God is riches. The Bible says the blessing of the Lord make it rich. See if one has that empowerment, walking in partnership with that empowerment, understanding the terms of that partnership and the terms of that empowerment, one can enter into riches. And it is God's will to ensure that that blessing, even though spiritual, has a physical manifestation on earth in time right now.

Scripture makes this clear. There's a way that God prospers men And it is God's will for men to prosper. Instead of doing the due diligence to take scriptures and study, many just conclude based on the errors that this thing isn't of God. You see, there was a time in the history of the church, in the Western countries where the church was poor because of the deviation gradually from the principles and the tenants that God had laid down for the prosperity of the church. And because of this, in a particular century, an emperor came and married the church and the state. So the church became accountable to the state. That is where the era of the Roman Catholic began began. It was actually the Catholic church, not the Roman Catholic church. The Roman Catholic means the government of Roman now has a hand in what happens. Are you with me?

The Catholic church means the universal church. That was what was founded by God, not the Roman Catholic. That was when the marriage between the church and the state happened. And because of this... And this this went on for centuries to a point where the church was now heavily dependent on the state and the state had massive control by the affairs of the church. Because when you... Some some fathers realized that this was not how God had designed it and they started studying scriptures to see what is God's intention for believers. Because everybody was under the mercy of the government including the church. And when these fathers realized that this was not God's way, there's a pattern and a template. I will build my church, he says, and the gates of Aedes will not prevail.

He is the one to build the church. He has enough finances and surplus supply to provide wealth to his church. And so these people haven't seen his revelation, started preaching these things. Many of them were attacked. Many of them were stoned. Many of them were beaten. They started telling people that it's God's will for them to prosper and they can live outside of the influence of government of governmental rule and as individuals and at the church, they can prosper. And they started teaching, giving, and and all of these things. Gradually, this method started working because the church actually started prospering and people started prospering. People started giving.

And the things that the government was responsible for, the church now had capacity financially to started handling by themselves enough that they gained independence. And there was a separation between church and state. Now it's more complex than this. Are you with me? But this is a brief a brief preview based on the perspective that I'm looking at it from. Is that okay? Is it broader in context than this? This preaching of the gospel and telling people that it's God's will for them to be taught to prosper actually rotted a great deliverance in the church because the church prospered. People started giving sincerely from a standpoint of understanding and the people started prospering. So there was...

It was a harvest of prosperity, wealth, and riches in the body of Christ in the Western countries. And, you know, Nigeria was greatly influenced by the Western countries because they were the ones who evangelize the missionaries, came down from these countries to preach the gospel to us, you see. So a lot of us... A lot of what we do here was greatly influenced by the practice of Christianity in those countries. Stay with me. I'm going somewhere. So when these things started prospering, something sin... Well, some were sincere, some were outrightly unscrupulous. Greed started entering into it and what was meant to be pure started becoming a perversion. So many men of God, having seen how people were giving sincerely, were no longer satisfied with how people were giving, wanted more, wanted to build, wanted to live in luxury, basically speaking, wanted more money to construct an empire for themselves that is outside of what God has ordained.

And they found out that... See, look at how people are giving. So it means we can construct and find out more ways to get more money out of people. And that became the era of television ministry. And you'd have men of God who would come on television to tell people that if you're watching me right now, you gotta sow a seed of a $100. If your name is Rachel, there's a breakthrough in your family. You're hearing me right now. You gotta sow a seed of a $100 for that family to have a breakthrough. There's favor that I'm seeing coming for someone, but you gotta key into it with $1,000. See if you can have 10 people who can give $1,000 right now, what God is about to do in your life is so and so and so.

And that that that era just came strong and people started... This was like the only thing you were seeing on television. And if some of you that grew up watching Christian channels would see these things a lot. It doesn't matter how powerful the sermon is. After the sermon, there must be a $100 of a seat. $1,000 dollar of a seat. $500 of a seat. And this became the corruption and the perversion. So much so, things that were not ordained in scripture started becoming the order of the day. When this era began, people started collecting money for healing to receive breakthrough.

And people give. And when there's no healing, because there's no way in scripture where healing is connected to money. When there's no healing, it becomes so bad that people who have given and they've not experienced healing feel cheated by God because the pastors were the representatives of God. The pastors were representing God. And so when the pastor tells you bring so and so amount of money, this is your infirmity would go. And you bring that money and the infirmity does not go, you believe it was God who spoke through the pastor. And so instead of searching scriptures to find out what God has said, you channel out your hand on God through the pastor to say, I was duped and I was scammed. All these preachers know is to collect money from people and that was the origin of this thing. And it became so bad that pastors started selling their messages for prices that were above the salary of the average citizen. That revelation, the question is how much did you pay for it?

Or you say, well, the church must be built. The church must be built. I know the church must be built. That's why Jesus said I will build my church. I'm the one that will give strategies, the principles, and the ways that I will use in building my church. And one of those strategies is not to make the gospel expensive so much so people cannot have access to it. I remember growing up, I love the message of a man of God who I had heard, and I wanted to listen to it. And I went to where I would get the message, and I discovered growing up as a young child that the message was 7,000 naira. It was a city. It was 7,000 naira.

It was a city growing up, and I could not afford it. I felt so bad that I could not afford the message. People become angry. People become bitter with pastors. And it became so bad even that pastors started charging money to to minister. So I invited pastor to come and minister to tell you, my honorarium is 1,000,000 naira. Tell you the sides, the business class tickets you would get me and a member of my team who would be coming. You can put the member of my team in economy, but I will be in business class. Give us a 50% deposit. And when we are done with the preaching, a 50% deposit.

You're coming to come and preach and win souls to God. Preach and win souls to God. And it became transactional, and it entered into the music industry. And believers who are watch... Who are ministering to people ministering to people with the gift that God has given will tell you that you cannot come and minister in places because it's not been given an amount of money. And if provincial people are not able to afford that amount of money, it means you cannot experience God through you. So people who are poor, come and experience God because God has become expensive. I wanna invite the minister, you tell us to bring 10,000,000 naira. Is that how expensive God is? What are you gonna do when you come?

Usher us to God? Is that how expensive God is? And it became it became it became a show of humanity, a show of greed, a show of, you know, the frailtyness of human beings as you would call it. And this perversion started tainting the heart of people. Many became bitter. Many became hungry with churches, with men of God. And they instinctively decide that any man of God doing relatively well financially is manipulating people for money. Any church that is blessed is manipulating people for money. They decide that if you don't see any pastor who has a a big church relatively or who is doing well relatively or any church who is doing well relatively, they are manipulating people for money. So much so, if it's still on television and a person comes up and says tight and offering, somebody else decide, oh, these people have come again.

They are stealing people. They are stealing people's money. They they they they determine in their heart that any mention of prosperity within the confine of the church is corruption. It's like the man who says the oven must be thrown away because someone used the oven to kill a child. Are you with me? There's a way that God blesses people. What did I say? God has a way that he prospers men. God has a way that he builds his ministry. He does not have to manipulate people to do it.

Listen, that way, God has a way that his kingdom advances. God has a way that his church progresses. God has a way that everything that he wants to do on earth advances. Are you with me? And that way has always been given. Always been. Always been. From the dawn of time, when God has something to do on the earth, there must be men who are willing to give of their time, give of their energy, give of their resources, give of their money, give of their... Of themselves even to accomplish anything that God wanted to do on the face of the earth. This giving become a reflection of the man's love for God.

Therefore, God replenishes the man by empowering him and blessing him so that he has more to give for the fulfillment of his purposes. This is how and why giving attracts plenty. Do you understand what I've just said now? Is it mysterious? Glory to God. It has always been proved giving, but not giving done by manipulation, not giving done by siphoning wealth from people or telling them that, you know, what God has freely provided will now be exchanged by a transaction. And so many people, you wanna see a man of God, you pay to see a man of God. It's it's become so bad that in more... In some places right now, after I've used Susan Kachieve, someone would come up after me and say that that the handkerchief that I possibly just use right now is going for 1,000,000 naira. Who is the first person to get it?

And you would see hands raised. You would see water bottles. This one is the water for barrenness, the water for breakthrough, the water for success, the water for favor. This is a special anointing that was gotten from an olive oil in Israel. This thing will kill any madness. Just put it on the forehead of a madman and you would see the wonders that will happen. It's going for just 5,000,000 naira. And you see these things, it it just became so terrible and so bad and you wonder when did this begin? Even people that were not selling spiritual things, Jesus wiped them out of the temple. These were people who were just selling everyday products.

Jesus got there and said, my house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves. And now we have not only made it a den of thieves, we have now started transacting what God has provided for free. Right now, there are numbers you call that are prophetic numbers. You call them, they tell you, for family breakthrough, press 1. For deliverance from serpentine spirits, press 2. For miracle jobs, press 3. When you press 1, they tell you, for problems with spirit husband, press 1. For problem with devilish in laws, press 2. When you press 1 and they tell you to receive, to speak with prophet directly, press 1. To receive fresh prayer for deliverance from serpentine spirits, press 2.

And click on 1. And they tell you to speak with prophet directly, this is the account number to sow into. Proof of payment should therefore be sent to this account. What I'm saying is not a joke. When people are not well taught, they become victim of these things. So such places where these things happen, right, there are always places where the word of God is not taught because these practices take advantage of people's ignorance. For these things to flourish, believers must be ignorant. So it becomes a problem and these kinds of people would always have problem with anybody who is an advocate of truth. Because your truth becomes an attack on their profit making venture. Because anything that attempts to give believer truth and light would make them realize that they don't need to buy any such things for them to receive of what God has given free.

Are you with me? Yes, sir. Has given for free. Do you remember the era of Gehazi? Naaman thought that the healing that he has received could be transacted. He thought he could exchange money for what he has received. That was the perverted mindset that Naaman had being that Naaman came from a pagan country given to high dose, where before you receive from any high dose, something must be sacrificed. And he thought that it was the same thing with God. So he thought that the money he wanted to give was the exchange for the healing he has received. And having perceived his heart, the man Elijah told him that this could not be accepted.

Take your money and take your worth with you. And as he was going, Gehazi being corrupted in his heart, now was a problem with... Now would you look at Gehazi and say, you know what? Never trust prophets again. Are you seeing that are you seeing that foolishness? Of no doubt, these things happen. It does not in any way eliminate the fact that God has a way that he blesses people. It does not in any way eliminate the fact that if anybody will prosper in God's way. You see, what I'm saying right now, there are people that in an attempt to communicate the same thing, would then go into the other side of the divide. And what happens in the other side of the divide?

They tell people that because of all this corruption that you have seen, you have to realize that God is not involved in people's prosperity. So any pastor who tells you that God is involved, so let me pray for you, let me prophesy over you, is manipulating you. If you want to be wealthy, just get a job, exchange value for this. That's it. That's that's error in itself. And so they tell you miracles of prosperity, financial miracles, miracles are the concerns of money, miracle alerts, all these things doesn't exist. And some even go as fast to say that for God to... For you to have a miracle alert from someone and God is responsible, it means that God will go and take money from somebody's account and drop it in your account because there's no central bank in heaven. The central bank is in Nigeria. Cut that part out of the message.

Are you with me? So God does not have control over the resources made by men on earth unless transacted by men. Are you with me? And so it it places a peg on raw miracles that can happen. So if you grow up on that kind of a teaching for instance and you hear a man of God saying, I need money like like Omar Abai who would come and tell us like, he need money for a for a crusade and when he entered his office, saw two bags of money on his table dropped there by angels. And you start wondering, that means God wants to go and steal from somebody and drop it on his table or that means a lie. Are you seeing that? That's why this CAC babas who did not go to school experienced more power and miracles than us because education has not corrupted their understanding. All they believe is God can do anything. By the time you start logicalizing miracles, a time will come where we will not experience any miracle again because we want to place logic on miracles.

Why then is it a miracle? And now we come to a point where we place limitations on God because of the error of hurting people who have overstretched this subject of prosperity and have used it for their own personal gain to mean that the entire subject is no longer God ordained. It is false. And if we're not careful, a time will come. A people, a generation will no longer be able to experience the raw manifestation of the power of God. Imagine if the disciples were thinking like this. When Jesus told them, multiply, go and share the bread. How many bread was there? 12 loaves and two fishes. Is there a bakery in heaven?

Is there a bakery in heaven? So when you hear stories like, we're eating rice and as we're eating, our life will multiply and you say, I stand there and I'm prophesying that strangers are coming to your need. Strangers are helping you. Now someone is placing that word in logic and is wondering how can these things happen? How can someone who does not know me? How can someone does not know me? One of my daughters went in went into a store in another country to go and get something. When she got there, somebody looked at Anne and said, you're so beautiful. The store man... The owner of the store.

You're so beautiful. Where are you from? I'm from Nigeria. Can you model for my my brand, the store? She said, definitely. No problem. She didn't even know there was money applied attracted to it. She just thought, let me go and do something. And she came when she was free, snapped the picture, and she was given $5,000 for snapping picture and standing there. Someone she's never met before.

That was the last time she did the job, $5,000. Well, I'm standing in front of us? And let's see. God is called the father of spirits. The king's heart is the... Is in the hands of God. He has the ability to turn it wherever he wills like like a ship that is controlled by a captain. God can take over the will of a man. There's no logic behind it. As someone who told you I will fail you can come under an influence that makes him seal the following day and be laughing like a fool.

That can spread the literal vibes of your business beyond what any social media campaign can give you. That can that can that can place an oil, an onion even on the social media media campaign. There are people who are burning money every day on Facebook, or Instagram. We'll never get to that point where we believe that God is not invested in the wealth of the righteous. I used to have a young man who wanted to work with some companies in Silicon Valley. I haven't learned software programming he was just going for it, really wanted to make it happen. And he applied, applied, applied, applied, and he was he was rejected in everything. And he saw a competition and and a hackathon, $10,000 hackathon remotely. And he was contesting with people in the same companies in Silicon Valley that he wanted to get a job. He won.

Enter a con... An hackathon competition with people he wanted to get a job from and won. From nine g, it was in 300 left. Got 10,000 price, was flown down to Silicon Valley to come and intern for six months from the same people he had been... You see, what does that to you is prophecy. It's not normal. When I heard this story, he came to tell how they have been praying, fasting, trusting God, and he came to touch one day, and God just instructed him to empty his account. And I think he had about 200,000 naira or so. Emptied everything. The man of God laid hands on him.

He went back and remembered the hackathon that he saw. The first time he saw it, he never thought he could win. The moment he came out under the power, he remembered the hackathon and he just stood up and said, can win this thing. That's what power is. That's why I said the empowerment is not the riches. The empowerment brings the riches. It enables you. It's an enablement. Hence, the instruction, be productive. On the strength of the empowerment you have received, be productive.

Are you with me? Yeah. I drink the holy ghost wine. I drink the holy ghost wine. I drink the holy ghost. Holy ghost. Holy ghost wine. I drink the holy ghost wine. One of my guys came to me and sold out... She's a lady.

Sold out first six digit. I was amazed. I looked at her and said that because I know how much our business brings in. I think you saved up for this. She said, yes. You saved up for this. She said, yes. I said, hold my hands. It took you however long to have saved up for it. However long it took you to save up for this account amount you are sowing as your first six digits, you begin to earn this amount every week.

She went in the first week, made two times the amount because we want to correct an error, displace the power that is genuine. Are you with me? Yeah. You read scriptures, you realize that for every project that God wanted to start with Israel... This is not where I'm going. For every project God wanted to start with Israel, he would always demand that his people give. And the giving becomes a reflection of the loves that his people have for God and for the advancement of his project on earth. Seeing this reflection of love, God then begins to replenish what they have given to ensure they have more to give because God will always need men to give for his kingdom to be advanced. So this is the way it is. I'm in another country, and I need you to help me run projects in Nigeria.

Because I'm not in that country, I can't run the project by myself. Are you with me? So I tell you, what's up, bro? I want to do something something something something. Do you have time to tell me to do it? I said, I have the time. Okay. I'll do it for you. And you go ahead, you get people, you pay them, you do everything that I wanted to do. And I realized that the vision I had in my heart was accomplished because you had time and you had resources.

I said, I call you again. I said, I wanna do more things. How much did you spend the last time? You see, I spent 500,000 there. Okay. Now I'll give you 3,000,000. The reason I've given you money because I found you valuable. I found that the more I give to you, the more what I have in my heart that I cannot use that money to do can be done through you. That's the principle of give, it shall be given. That's the principle that he does cut us.

The reason is because God has projects that he cannot by himself based on his intentional handicap do. So he needs human resource. And so when he finds human resource, people who would give their time, give their resources, he would ensure that they always have something to give. Because it is in their giving that is project advances. That is the meaning of the Lord gives seed to the sower. Because when the sower sows, God's kingdom advances. And this has always been how God does things. Exodus 25. Let me show you this. Verse one.

I will show you this and then I will show you one way. One way. The Lord spoke to Moses saying, so he's speaking here. God, speak to the children of... Let's do it in NLT or should we do in NKJV? Leave it in NKJV. Leave it. Speak to the children of Israel that they bring me an offering. This is God speaking. That they bring me what?

From everyone who gives it willingly. Give me amplified version. So you see, God had always requested for people to give from the dawn of time. Speak to the Israelites that they for me an offering from every man who gives it... Nah. Yes. Alright. Who gives it willingly and ungrudgingly with his heart, you shall take... Who's offering? Their offering?

Who's offering? God's offering. God. They are the ones bringing... God lays God lays claim on it. Note, it says willingly, ungrudgingly with his heart. In other words, God has put the desire in the heart of that young man to give of that offering. That man now has to partner with God by doing so willingly, ungrudgingly. That's what makes it God's own. It means if he does so forcibly, it is still his own.

You don't get what I'm saying. God lays possession on what the man is giving that should belong to him. God says it is my offering. To prove that the man understands that I'm only a steward of God's resources, like the man who I'm giving money to. He is only a steward of my resources. Are you with me? So if at any point I request from him my money, he can give it to me. Are you with me? Watch this. Somebody might say, oh, this offering is the sacrifice of praise.

God is not really asking for material things. God is saying that we should give him worship. God is saying we should give him praise. Verse three, God now tells you exactly what he wants. He says, this is the offering you will receive from them. Gold, silver, bronze. It's God that is speaking. Next verse, I want to fill it. Blue purple and scarlet fine fine twined lining and goat hair. Go back to k j...

New King James version. Next verse. Next verse. Ramskins, dyed red, badger skins, acacia wood. Next verse. Their resources, oil for light, spice for the mountain, for the sweet incense. Next verse. Look at this. Onyx stones, precious stones, stones to be set in the airfoil and in the breastplate. Next verse.

Watch this. And let them do what? Make me a sanctuary. So what God wanted to do was to build a tabernacle where which it can live amongst their midst. God wanted his presence to be hosted by the children of Israel. God wanted them to build a tabernacle and that tabernacle will have the hack of covenant. It will have the outer court, the inner court, the holy of holies. It will have everything God has defined and God said that this is my vision. This is my will. This is what I want to do.

To accomplish my vision, tell my people to this. Are you getting what I'm saying? In other words, from the beginning and the dawn of time, how God's kingdom advances has always been through people's giving. Next verse. Watch this. According to all that I show you, that is the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings and so you shall make it. Next verse. It then shows you the hack of covenant and they shall make an hack of acacia wood. Do you see when God was asking for an acacia wood? It means the the the purpose of the Acacia wood was to construct the ark of covenant.

And the pit, it didn't fall from heaven. Men brought it. So what is this craze all about when a man of God come and says, we are doing something in this ministry, give to this purpose. And somebody say, see, they've started again. God was the first person that already said. The problem now happens when verse two becomes an error. Verse two is willingly, ungrudgingly, according to the heart. Give me NLT of verse two. NLT. Watch this.

NLT says, tell the people to bring media offerings, accept the contributions from all whose acts are moved to offer them. So God is the one that moves the heart, not men. God is the one who moved it. Man, men can act in rebellion. There are men whose heart have been moved that that that will not give. Your manipulation as a man only makes it worse because what they have given has no record in heaven. Are you with me? Yes. Listen. This also tells us that it is extremely allowed for Moses to reject the offerings of people.

Accept, it says, the contributions from all whose acts are moved to offer them. It means if you see anyone whose act is not moved to offer, what does it mean? Rejected. There are people who have come to associate to me who are... That are rejected. I've told them, I can't take this for several reasons. Not even because their heart has not... I don't move to a fight. And some it is solely because I've perceived the intent of their heart, and I've realized that what this... What what they are giving will have consequences.

And by the time the consequences of the absence of what they have given starts coming, they will not begin to regret having given. And you who is the man of God who call that you are in trouble? Because their heart has not given. Are you with me? This has always been the structure and the order of things. I've got many scriptures I cannot show you. I don't have time to show you here. In Genesis 28 and verse 22, we see Abraham was the first person that exemplified giving a tithe of all things. Is that much so? Jacob learned the same principle.

The bible says, and this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house. And of all that you give me, this was after the encounter that Jacob had. Look at what the encounter provided. Give me the last verse. I think it's verse 22, 22. 22. It says, and this stone will be a pillar. This stone I've set as a pillar shall be God's house and of all that you give me, I will surely give a tent to you. This was after the encounter Jacob had. This was to tell you something happened to his heart.

Jacob had not yet been to Laban's house. Jacob had not yet prospered. He just left his... He he he... The only thing he had in this point was the staff. And he told God, he said, out of everything that you give, you will have a tent. So God says, you mean I will have a tent for my kingdom to prosper? For my projects to be accomplished? Then don't worry. Watch what will happen.

So whilst he was in Laban's house, an angel will come and appear. They take the striped goat. Take that. And then the blessings can be programmed because God knows I will have a tent out of what I give him. This was a covenant he made ever before any resources whatsoever enter his account. Are you with me? Yes, sir. God's way has always been willingly. Do I have willing people? Psalm one one zero says, willing people, willing men.

In second Corinthians nine from verse one, let's do it in NLT. Many of you many of you never read that scripture with understanding. So you think it's talking about spiritual seeds. When we do it in NLT, you see it was talking about something else. One, three, three, This ministry of what? This ministry of what? So the entirety of first Corinthians nine was about giving. And Paul started by saying, you Corinthian church, you are mature. I don't need to write to you about this giving of a thing. In fact, I've made a boast of you.

Next verse. Look at this. For I know how eager you are to help, and I've been boasting to the churches in Macedonia that you in grace were ready, can you see, to send an offering a year ago. In fact, it was your enthusiasm to give that stirred up many of the Macedonians to begin to give. This is in your bible. Are you with me? Yes, sir. To begin to give. Next verse. Watch this.

For... But I am sending these brothers to be sure you really are ready as I've been telling them and that your money is all collected. I don't want to be wrong in my boasting about you. Next verse. Watch this. We would be embarrassed, not to mention your own embarrassment, if some Macedonian believers came with me and found that you weren't ready after all I had told them to give. Next verse. Watch this. So I thought I should send these brothers ahead of me to make sure the gift you promised is ready, but I want it to be a willing gift, not one given grudgingly. Where did this principle start from?

Exodus. Willing gift. Not one given grudgingly. The error is when this is misplaced and it become the thing done out of manipulation. You can't even defend what you have given. Next verse. Watch this. Next verse. Remember this that the farmer gave me now... Gave me NKJV now to say this.

But this I say, he who sows... Have you seen the background of this? That's the context. He who gives sparingly will reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will reap bountifully. Next verse. You must each decide in your heart, in your way, how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure for God loves a person who gives cheerfully. Look at the next verse, verse eight. And God will generously provide all you need.

Can you start again? That when what you need, when what you have is able to fend for the kingdom of God, God generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over even to share with others because you have given. Next verse. Watch this. As the scripture say, they share freely and give generously all their goods will be remembered forever. Next verse. For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Next verse.

Watch this. Yes. You will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. So why are you enriched? And when we take your gifts... Look at this. When we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. So why are we collecting your gift? Is it... Are you seeing this?

Because heaven has a need. Next verse, he didn't give them two. So two good things will result from this ministry of giving the needs of the believers of giving. Number one, the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met. Number two, they will joyfully express their thanks to God because you give. So the giving had a purpose to advance the agenda of God's kingdom. Are you with me? Yes. So when you people... When people complain that this is how God has designed for his kingdom to advance.

Do you know that you are seated here lovingly so, enjoying the sermon, enjoying the meeting as we're going and as we sing worship? I asked the pastor in charge of finances to give me a cost of how much we spend per week because I've not even paid attention to it. He didn't give me the total cost of how much we spend per week. And he told me that we spend... That is outside of monthly expenses because we give you... We pay for all these streaming platforms that we use like Mixer and all. We pay for it monthly. So aside from the monthly expenses, aside from the welfare that we do welfare that we do, we give to people who don't have, we give... Buy food stuff for people, buy different... Apart from all of those, to run service on Sunday and on Tuesday, we spend 120,000 naira per week per week.

The wrong service. On Sunday and on Tuesday, 120,000 per week. Everybody here, the young man. Every... Most of the people listen to me as students. Students. How are we doing it? Because people are giving. How do we continue to do it? Because people...

God continues to bless those who are giving. Yes. Else would have fold up. So the reason we continue to do it is because the people who are giving, God is continuing to bless them so they can continue giving. So they can continue giving. Let me round up here. As men begin to give, get me that scripture that says about tithing and all of that. Prove me therefore. What did you get? Three ten.

Oh, yeah. Three ten. And there may be food in my house. Now God does not eat. I hope you know that. And try me now in this, says the Lord of hosts. If I will not open the windows of heaven... This is where I'm going. The windows of heaven. Because I have to round up here, I wouldn't have time to show you what windows are in the realm of the spirit.

There are windows and there are doors. There are three of them. There are windows, doors, gates, and they all have spiritual significance. Some of the time we do it, but one of the things that flows out of the windows of heaven, when God pours out such blessing, you might be deceived to think it is material resources, but it is not. That's why I began by showing you that the blessing is in actuality an empowerment. Are you with me? That enables you. An empowerment. That empowerment comes in different shades and in different dimensions. It is man's partnering with that empowerment and man's accompanying that empowerment that therefore translates and manifests into physical material resources on earth because the blessings are spiritual.

So let me tell you what I mean by this. When God wants to bless a believer after you have given And the windows open. The opening of the windows has different manifestations of the release of the blessing. One of which that translates eventually into wealth and miracles when acted upon. One of which is divine instructions. What did I call it? The ability to be led by the spirit of God. Let me teach them. Mentoring a believer to be prosperous, if all you teach the believer, of course, a responsible believer who is diligent, who is hardworking, and all of that. If all you teach the believer in mentoring the believers with prosperous is giving and how to hear God, you will succeed.

You will prosper. How to hear God and give him? How to hear God? The ability of a man to be divinely instructed and divinely laid. In the book of Isaiah, the bible says, it is the Lord thy God that teacheth thee to profit. Other translations used to prosper. But give me the new kingdom's version. Lord thy God that teacheth thee. Right? And the Lord your God who teacheth thee to profit.

That teaching ministry of the holy spirit to profit comes as divine instructions. It can manifest as ideas. It can manifest as innovations. It can manifest as specific instructions that God gives a believer to do. And as a believer acts in accordance with instruction, you will find that at the end of that instruction is the abundant resources waiting for you. That is how spiritual blessings take on materiality. So God can tell... So someone can give. And when they give, the power of God comes upon them or they can be praying even at home personally or they can be in a meeting like this, engaged in worship. And as they are doing that, say the person has a business for instance.

And as they are doing that, the holy spirit tells them, the next opportunity that your friend tells you about, register for it. And does not even understand what he has what he has heard. He leaves the meeting and finds out that a friend of his has left a message on his WhatsApp. Upon getting on, he finds it and says, there's a conference in Lagos where people will permitted to submit or pitch their business in form of a grant. And there'll be a grant of 15 millionaire for whoever wins. You see, what God has done is that they have supplied an instruction. The responsibility of that instruction when acted upon is to bring the harvest of the seed that was sown. So many people don't understand this, think that the moment they begin to give, what will happen is money will be not enter my account. No. There are ideas that God will begin to give.

One of my guys was in this in this place. And as it was... As we... As the meeting was going on, I was teaching just like this. The power of God came upon him where he was. When I didn't know the power, I was teaching. And God told him, take your business. Take your business. That's what you're selling to this supermarket. He has been to that supermarket before.

Are you with me? They rejected him because he does not have enough that number, SOM number, all of that. He was rejected. The power came upon him and he saw the same supermarket. God told him, take your business. The... When you come out of sort of an encounter or an experience like that, the first thing to say is, I've been there before. You make the error of Peter. When Jesus said, cast the nets upon the waters. Peter said, master, we have been toiling all night.

Now, let's look at the logical analysis of what Peter said. That toil on night happened in the depth of the oceans where fishes gather. Fishes don't gather at the shore of the seas. At the shore of the seas, the people swim. People play. You won't find fishes there. If you want to fish out of a serious businessman, you go to the ocean and you cast your net upon the ocean. And they've been doing that all night. When Jesus came to the shore, he met them. They finished doing laboring all night and he just met them dragging their boat and as he was there, told them, can I use your boat to preach?

He said, yeah. Definitely. And he stood on their boat. It means he was still on the shore. Are you with me? So when he told them, cast your net, they were on the shore. Just in case you wanna use logic to explain out miracles. And you find out that the fishes, what kind of speed migrated them from the depth of the oceans to the shore? Did they come there as when Jesus made the pronouncement, cast your net upon the waters? And the seas recognized that, the master has cut for us.

And they began the quickest migration in human history. Or did they come to hear the sermon? And they were already there. And Jesus knows that when I speak, creation must listen. So the fishes must have already been there. Glory to God. Jesus and fish. Whatever the case may be, it was a different energy. That's why I call it empowerment for responsibility. So when the thing came, it came with a particular empowerment that was not there before as that when they were laboring.

What made that empowerment available? Give me your boat. Can your boat be used for the master's use? And as long as you were willing to give... There were many boats there. But yours has a need in eternity. I must stand on it to preach. Can it be offered to me? And says, yes, master. You can use the boat.

The moment it was done. Now that your boat has been of service to the kingdom, cast your net. Cast your net. The guy was arguing until he casted net and realized that they brought out harvest as of such they've never seen before. The next started breaking as might as the harvest was. That was exactly what happened to the young man. He got... He woke up, shared the thing with me. I told him... He he told me that they didn't tell me before.

Blah blah blah. I said go. When he got there, he met the owner of the store. The owner of the store had given them instructions for things like this so that if anybody's coming, they wanna bring their product, they must register After they write letter, submit letter. Blah blah blah blah. So when he met the manager there, the manager just told him directly what the owner have said. And I said, it's not possible. We are very sorry. If I don't register. When he went there, met the owner of the store.

When I came... Actually, sir, I came for this and that. Said, really? And you are a you are a student? He said, yes, sir. He come to my office. Let me see the product. And he tell the product, he called the same manager who said it was not possible. First time he supplied his product, they bought an amount... The first time I supplied his product, they bought an amount that equates the profit he has made in two years of starting the business.

Two years of starting the business. That's one. That's one. It's divine instruction. It came. Go back there. The empowerment for that responsibility had landed. That is how wealth manifests in time. So when a man does not understand this, you will neglect divine instructions as ideas that come from your mind or regular intrusion of your thoughts. And you would not realize that, We were going...

We finished praying in chapel many years ago. As we began to go, we gathered there and it just came to my spirit. And I was like, look, I forgot me. I think I think you were there. And I don't I don't know who else was there. We just finished praying in chapel. I think you were there. And I told them. I said, you know what? Let us do a meeting for freshers.

Just keep my spirit. We're somewhere in Workshop, 1319. Let's do a meeting for freshers. And we did it. That's a divine instruction. Guess what? Eight people came. We printed several flies, expected that a lot of people are gonna come because... I'm not the old. Eight people came.

But it was an instruction we were going. So next year, we did it again. That has become one of the most powerful ways of harvest in this ministry. What came as a divine instruction in verse 19? Are you with me? I was praying yesterday, and the Lord prayed... And the Lord prayed told me, now take that same thing to all tertiary institutions in the battle. And as people enter into school, harvest them for Christ. Let souls be saved. So what we know as further by weakening is extending beyond the product of UI.

These are divine instruction that is what leads to an harvest. It's not copying what people are doing. There are many things people are doing that will not benefit you. But you will try and realize that it will fail. There's benefit in staying with God. There's benefit in realizing what is God's specific agenda. He says, I will teach you to profit. There are inspirations that will be downloaded from heaven. Are you with me? Downloaded from heaven.

And when acted upon, it will shift. I was I was praying some time ago, and God gave me instruction about one of my guys was of something I'm I'm supposed to do for that individual. The person does not know that this particular area of life right now is now my responsibility. Are you with me? I don't know what prayer that one has been praying. I don't know what that one has done. But God came and said, you are the one that will fulfill this responsibility in the life of this person. And I said, yes, sir. I've not even deployed it. Already I portioned a particular amount of money to start servicing that order.

And as I deployed it, as I deployed that and I portioned it, times 200 of what I would have needed to fulfill that assignment came to me the following day. And I remembered, I said, you know, it it just pays to obey instructions. You can imagine, it just pays to be divinely instructed and to follow divine leadings. To follow... Listen, there's a book by Kenneth Hagin. How to be led by the spirit of God is... If you are a believer and you have not read that book, you are coastal. You are coastal. You are just like a boat adrift the ocean. How to be led by the spirit of God.

That book that book is an hallmark for every believer. You have to read it. Because this reading I'm talking about will not come by exquisite visions and spectacular dreams. When somebody says, since I've been young, God has always been speaking to me by dream. I just know what to do. Whereas, nudgings have been placed in your spirit and you know. But you have allowed self doubt and unassurance to delay harvest. Whereas the instruction tied to harvest had already come. For Abraham, leave your father's house, and I will show you. The life of the believer will be based consistently on the instructions that come from the spirit.

That that is eventually what will lead to your harvest. There are people that want to bless you that you may not know and that may not know you. And in prayers, the holy spirit will tell you, meet this person and tell him about your business. And as you speak, you realize that the one that gave that instruction has gone ahead of you and has touched the heart of that individual. So whilst you're speaking, we know you have been meeting investors. They told you no, but this one came as an instruction. The blessing is empowerment for responsibility. Are you with me? Right there where you are seated. You see, prayer of inquiry is something that is no longer taught in the body of Christ.

But you can actually pray and find out, God, what will you have me do? Instead, what do we do? We just go around trying different things. We go on Google, go on Tajipiti, give me ideas for this, give me ideas for that. We go on YouTube, watch YouTube videos, do research, do research, those kind of things, and then I now make a reasonable decision. And then sitting down with God to actually receive and hear from the one who said, I will teach you to profit. And whilst you are deploying everything in your human strength, God will wait for you to come to the limit of that strength, and then you will realize that there's no help where you thought you were going. So why spend all that hours, all that all that all that all that months deploying energy uselessly and coming to the end of it only to realize that there's no gain at the end of it. Why not start the entire journey to say, what will you have me? Men have grown great ministries on the strength of the fact that they could hear God.

They could be divinely instructed. They could 22, 23, 22. Exodus twenty three twenty two. Can we read this everybody? I'll be what? I'll be what? I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. I will expose this scripture on Tuesday. This is not my emphasis today. Go back.

Go to the next verse. Watch this. For my angel will go before you and bring you into the Hamorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites. In other words, I have actually sent an angel to go before you. Your own responsibility is revealed in the previous verse, to do as I have said. In other words, when you do as I have said, you will enter into a place and realize that it becomes easy. Easier than you thought it would have been. Because when the thing came in your mind, it looks so difficult. It looks like a big thing. But as you started deploying it, you realize that materials are coming.

Result things are coming. The things you need are coming. And I wonder how. It's because he said I will send my angel to go before you. Your responsibility is to align your ears to where I sent you. In Exodus 23, watch this. In Exodus 23, God told them he will send an angel to take them to the land of the Hamorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, Jebusites, and I will cut them off. That was what God told them. But in Deuteronomy, the spies now came to Moses and now said, let's go and spy the land. The land gods, they have sent angel to.

Forty years you have been waiting the wilderness. Angel has been there saying, where are they? Where are these people? Where are these people? When they were almost there, let go one's and spied spied the land. Land. When they spied land, they saw giants in the place. They ran back. They say, hey, we can't take the place. Oh, is that what God told them?

Your own was to obey. In other words, there are times God can give instructions that seem bigger than your current capacity. I put something on my social media some time ago. I said, you will realize eventually that it is easier to do big things. You know why? Because you know you cannot do it. So all through that process, you have to depend on the one that can do it. Especially if he now sent you to do it. And you know you're not acting of your own accord. You're not acting because you are passionate.

You're not acting because you have ambition. Jesus, you are the one I was on my own. You are the one who sent me to start this. You are the one who told me to do this. Then know that he has sent his angel ahead of you. That angel prepares the ground. So when he told Peter, cast your necks, there's an angel ahead of that instruction that has prepared the ground. When he tells you, start that business, go into the territory, extend your business, buy that location, get this property, there's an angel that has gone ahead of you to prepare the ground. This is one of the ways that harvest comes in prosperity. It means if your years is deafened to the speakings of God, you will continue to give but never experience harvest.

Because harvest is not material. It's an empowerment that brings the material. Listen. The prayer is simple. What will you have me do? When was the last time you went to God and it was not to engage your spirit man in praying for hours. It was not to ask for something or to petition God. It was to ask God over this situation. What is your mandate? What is your instruction?

What would you have me do? After all, you are the God that teacheth me to profit. I have been listening to YouTube to teach me. I've read books to teach me. Read all kind of things, seminars, conferences to teach me, and I've ignored the God that teacheth thee to profit. Listen. There's a place where a man considers logically a business to start. And it says based on availabilities in the marketplace and based on needs, based on SWAT analysis, this is the best thing for me to do right now. There's another place where a man consults God. And says, what should I do?

And the man starts out based on an instruction from heaven. Oh. You realize that the level of... The amount of restriction you will face on the path that you treaded by yourself will be quite different from the amount of restriction you will face on the one that God sent you. So you ask them, when I sent you, lackest thou anything? The thing is, did you send yourself or did I send you? If it was me who sent you to Lokoja, if it was me who sent you to Lagos, if it was me who sent you to Abuja to go and start a ministry, to go and do some things, then worry not. Because if I sent you, you can know for certain an angel has gone ahead of you. Listen. Listen.

Listen. You know that So if I'm going on an assignment or on an instruction that God has sent me, and I realize that everywhere I go is as though there's somebody waiting there to help me. Many of you have had this kind of experiences that you cannot explain. And you find out that just at the moment you need it, there's someone willing to go out of their way just to help you, just to favor you, just to ensure that the thing becomes easy for you to do. It's oftentimes a proof. When I sent you, did you lack anything? We need to inquire of God because he is the one that teacheth thee to profit. That's that law of my vision. The lord that teacheth thee to profit. Believers what I've forgotten that God.

Whereas, many in the old testament became... Have you read the story of Jacob? That God appeared to Jacob and told Jacob while he was slaving away and suffering in Laban's house, and told Jacob, this is how your prosperity will come. Negotiate a deal with Laban. Negotiate a deal with Laban. Take off the stripes and of the plain goats or cattles and put a rod in front of them and tell him that when these two meet together, if their offspring is striped, then I will get them. It was a literal impossibility. Taban knew that that deal, Jacob will come to a loss. Based on that, that was why Jacob... Legoman Laban agreed.

It went against the principle of DNA sequencing. Are you with me? Oh, not DNA sequencing. Actually, just the general law of genetics. So what Evan was doing was DNA sequencing. Evan was taking the genes of these things and was mixing them in the laboratory to come up with a product that was an anomaly. And it was consistently so. So much so, while serving as a slave in Laban's house, Jacob became richer than Laban. I am the Lord thy God that teacheth thee to profit. Oh, have you read about Daniel?

Have you realized that everybody in scripture, this was how they became great. The Lord that teacheth thee to profit. How about Joseph in Egypt? When it was time to interpret the king's dream, he knew the exact interpretation that led to the quotation. How about Daniel? He knew the meaning of hard sayings. There are problems that exist right now in the world that the solution is only with you. Are you with me? You are the one that has the solution, and you would need to consult the God that teacheth thee to profit. Holy ghost wine.

Bring the holy ghost wine. Now bring tongues In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Thank you, Lord, because you've answered. I pray that as you go, you receive instructions. You receive directions. And that as many of you as I hear today under the sound of my voice, you would meet with the Lord that teacheth thee to profit. Yeah. You would have an encounter with the Lord that teacheth thee to profit. Yeah. How?

No longer will you be shadow boxing. Now you know what to do. Now you know where to go. Now you know how to go. Now you know whom to meet. Amen. In the name of Jesus. Obstructions on your path of destiny are removed. Amen. In the name of Jesus.

And as you go in this week, may your hands prosper. And the works of your hands be blessed. And every limitation you have faced up until now, every obstacle you have faced up until now, I proclaim them lifted in the name of Jesus. Now I declare move forward. Now I declare shift forward. Now I declare increase. Now I declare prosper. In the name of Jesus. Unexplainable acts of God. In your life, in your ministry that will prove to people that God is involved in what you are doing.
