Transcript: What Do You Have In Your House - The Kingdom Pathway From Little Beginning To Great Wealth

Listen to this message

Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

Today, I'm gonna be speaking on what I've titled... It's gonna be prophetic teaching. It's also going to be instructional. Lots of instructions are going to be given to you. I've titled it, what do you have in your house? Hyphen. What do you have in your house? Hyphen. The kingdom pathway from little beginnings to great wealth. The kingdom pathway from little beginnings.

To great wealth. Someone ready for this? Close your eyes. And if you have an expectation you might want to monopolize God for a brief moment. And declare your expectations to God. Perhaps you did not come here carelessly. Perhaps you came here intentionally. Perhaps you came here expectant. Then now is a good time to tell God precisely why you've come. You might have come just because someone invited you.

You might have come just because someone told you come around. It's gonna be a good meeting. Or you might have come because there's a real expectation in your heart, something tangible within your spirit that you are trusting. That God will take occasion or will through this occasion perform in your life? Then declare that expectation. Now is not the time to whisper or to be distracted. Now is a time to be focused. Now is the time. To intentionally tell God, this is why I came. Let this grace upon this house produce this and this and this and this.

Be very specific as to what you want. That is how you will know when it has happened. Don't be vague. Being vague will not help you. Be specific. I'm giving us time to pray intentionally. You know, people take for granted moments like this when you are told to declare expectations. So what happens usually is that people just look at the man of God carelessly. Someone just looks at the man of God carelessly. Or someone just closes their eyes and is just distracted.

Upadventure, there is something in your heart. Please declare it. Be very specific. Be very specific. One more minute to pray. If you don't have the capacity to pray this long, perhaps you should not even be here. Can you pray by this time next year? Now attach your request to it by this time next year. Now begin to prophesy what must happen by this time next year. A year from now.

A year now. A year from now by this time next year. In Jesus name we have prayed. Let's open our Bibles even as we begin. You see, a person will never possess consistently beyond the boundaries of what the person believes God permits. You may learn the principles of business you may encounter opportunities and sit before doors that can transform your life. But if somewhere inside you, you believe that abundance or the concept of abundance is suspicious. That prosperity is is somewhat dangerous. To your spiritual health or that God is more comfortable keeping you at the level of survival. Or that there is an amount or there is a level of wealth that a believer should not have lest the believer becomes proud or that there is some kind of humility or purity attached to poverty or perhaps not just poverty, survivor, having just enough, just enough.

Not too much. So that pride and the war does not erode your heart. If that is your thought pattern, you will repeatedly sabotage the increase for which you're praying even whilst you're praying for increase. And even when the doors of increase open before you, you would still sabotage the increase that you're praying for. Amen? The theme of this seventieth anniversary, thousand times more, is a declaration that what God has already done is not the conclusion of what he can do. It is a declaration that your present testimony as glorious as it may be, is not the boundary of all that is possible. It is a declaration that the God who began the work has not exhausted his resources, has not exhausted his wisdom, has not exhausted his power, has not exhausted his intention concerning your life. It's a declaration that there is more where it came from. Deuteronomy one from verse 10.

The bible says, the lord god has multiplied you and here you are today as the stars of heaven, a multitude. I want you to see what is happening in this verse. Moses is acknowledging that their existence as a nation was already a miracle. He acknowledged that the promise that God made to Abraham was already standing before him in reality. He says, the Lord God has multiplied you. And here you are today. That God had taken Abraham and had through one man produced a nation. That God had taken a family that entered into Egypt with only a small number of people. And he has brought them out as a multitude. And Moses looked at them and he said, here you are today as the stars of heaven in multitude.

Now that language, the stars of heaven was intentional because that was picture God painted to Abraham when God took Abraham outside and took him towards heaven. In Genesis 15 verse five, that was what God told Abraham. He said, look now towards the heaven and count the stars if you are able to number them. And he said to them, so shall your descendants be. So so in in Deuteronomy, Moses was effectively saying that Abraham looked at the stars and counted it. And God told him that one day your descendants will be like this. And what Abraham looked at as a promise, I'm now seeing as a reality. That God has made visible his promise to Abraham. That God has multiplied you. God has multiplied you.

As the stars of the heavens. Are you with me? Yes, sir. In other words, they were already the evidence that God could do what he had spoken. Their existence was proof that barrenness could not stop God, that age could not stop God, that slavery could not stop God, that pharaoh could not stop God, that the Red Sea could not stop God, that the wilderness could not stop God. So most of was acknowledging that at that present state in their life, God had done something. God had multiplied them. God had God had brought them into the reality of the fulfillment of prophecy. There are promises that God had given to them that they had seen manifest in their lives. Moffitt was acknowledging that God has been good to you.

Moffitt was acknowledging. He was saying as you are here today, look at the testament of God's goodness in your life. He has multiplied you. You are the stars of the heaven in multitude. He then goes on to say in verse 11, May the Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times more numerous than you are. Amen. And bless you as he has promised you. That became very interesting to me when I saw it. That after Moses was just telling them that you are the stars of the heavens. He then tells them, God is not done with you.

But even though you have multiplied, even though God has multiplied you, past tense, Even though you are already as the stars of the heavens. Even though there are already results in your life. But there are dimensions of multiplications that can make your present multiplication look like a beginning. There are answers that can make the answer that you are experiencing presently, that you are celebrating presently look like a seed. There are doors that God can open that will redefine your understanding of favor completely. There are levels of influence, levels of wealth, levels of productivity, impact that can make you look back at what you once called abundance and realize that it was only a preparation. That even as Moses was saying that God has multiplied you as the stars of the heaven, there is still realms of multiplication that they've not even experienced yet. And he was telling them that get ready oh, because what you are celebrating now would only be a seed when what God is preparing for you comes to pass or comes to reality. Are you with me brothers and sisters? That God had already multiplied Israel, but he still desired a thousand times more.

That God had already blessed them, but he still had more blessing to release. That God had already demonstrated his faithfulness to them, but he had not exhausted his promise just yet. You see, it would be a lie if we say that some of us have not experienced the hand of God. The truth is that some of us have experienced the hand of God. You are not where you were five years ago. You have seen God bring you out of certain conditions. You have seen God help you begin something. You have seen God give you customers, give you clients, give you opportunities, give you relationships, give you ideas, give you a job you never had, give you a a flow of record revenue and income that you never had. You may have built something that once existed only in your mind. You may have even become the first person in your family to rise to your present level.

That you would look at where you are at the moment, and where you are at the moment is a testimony compared to everybody in your family. The truth is that to some measure, you have seen and experienced the hand of God at work in your life. But it is very important that you'd not turn that testimony that you're experiencing or the testimony that you're currently living in into a ceiling. Don't build a monument at the place where God intended that you make a staircase or even an elevator. Don't become so impressed. With what God had exposed you to. That you lose expectation for what can still happen. The fact that we are grateful does not mean that we stop expecting more. Gratitude means that you recognize who did the formal thing. And therefore possess confidence that it can do something even greater.

The God of scripture is a God of enlargement. Say it with me. The first blessing that God records over humanity were words of fulfillment, of of fruitfulness, of multiplication, of dominion, of expansion. He told us, he says in Genesis one twenty eight, God blessed them and God said to them, be fruitful. Multiply, fill the earth, subdue it. God didn't just say exist. He said be fruitful. He didn't just say survive. He didn't just say live. He didn't just say whatever comes to you.

Be fruitful. Fruitfulness means that what God has placed within you must become visible. It must become productive. And it didn't just say be fruitful once. He said multiply. That multiplication means that what has been produced must reproduce beyond itself. It said fill the earth. That is expansion. Fill the earth. He then said subdue it.

That's the application of wisdom, of strength, of authority to to bring the resources of creation. Into useful order. This was the blessing that God placed upon your life, upon humanity, upon man at the point when man was created. And that blessing also explains the expectation of God for your life. It means God actively expects over my life that I become fruitful. That everything that God places in my hand should be fruitful. God expects of my life to be fruitful. God expects of me multiplication. Are you with me? It says fill the earth.

In other words, God is not content with us building something and the thing that we have built succeeds and stays in one place. In other words, being fruitful in itself is a testimony. But there are greater realms to that testimony. That you just being fruitful and not multiplying is not even enough. That after you have been fruitful, whatever it is you have birthed, whatever it is you have produced must now multiply. It must reproduce itself. It must spread. And that even the multiplication is not enough. It must fill the earth. And filling the earth is not enough.

It must subdue the earth. Oh my. Are you with me? Yes sir. This gives me the impression. That the disciples Christian network is multiplying. Gives me the impression that we are filling the earth. Gives me the impression that we are subduing the earth. Glory to God. Glory.

Yeah. Gives me the impression that what comes out of you is multiplying. Thank you, Jesus. Are you still with me? Yes, sir. So the idea of fruitfulness is not a worldly idea. The idea of expansion is not canal. These things were present in the blessing before sin ever even entered into the earth. Before toil, before frustration entered into the earth. Glory to God.

It doesn't mean that the evidence of God's blessing over a man is is money. A person can have money and remain empty. A person can have money and be wicked. A person can have money and not belong to God. Scripture does not say that money is the root of all evil. Scripture says the love of money is the root of all evil. There's a difference between possessing money and being possessed by money. There's a difference between building wealth under God and worshiping wealth instead of God. So God is not intimidated by giving you plenty. God is not intimidated by giving you abundance.

He's not afraid that your bank account will become too large for his glory. God is not threatened by your business becoming influential. God is not afraid of you owning properties, of you employing people, of you producing excellent products, of you receiving international payments, of you becoming recognized all over the earth of people naming your name of of of your name, ringing a bell across the years of millions. God is not threatened by this. It is God who came to a man and told a man, will make your name great. God did not say I will make my name great through you. He said I will make your name great. So you have to understand that your greatness is not a threat to God. Are you with me? Yes sir.

Your abundance does not make God less of God. Your increase does not does not reduce God in any way. So God is interested in giving you plenty. The question is can plenty enter into your life without taking the place of God? And the answer is not to reject plenty. The answer is to become the kind of person who have plenty whilst remaining surrendered to God, whilst remaining generous, whilst remaining obedient, whilst remaining conscious that everything came from God. Because there is this false humility that many of us have that makes us think that smallness is holiness. It assumes that if you are financially helpless, you are more dependent on God. But if you become wealthy, you have somehow moved away from spiritual purity because you have no need of God anymore. As though your need of God is financial alone.

It makes a man think that the poorer you are or the more material needs there are in your life, the more you need God. Because the more you have things to pray for, the more you remain in church. So if you don't have money for instance now, there's a reason why you'd attend this service because they're expecting open doors. When we tell you pray, there's a reason why you should pray. There's a reason why you'd come to church because the presence of needs in your life makes you need God. And so the the theology sells to you the idea that God does not really want every need in your life taken care of. So that you don't get to the point where you don't need him. Needing things is different from needing God. And our need of God is not based on our need of things. That's why you must understand that God is not threatened by the availability of things.

God is not somewhere sitting down in heaven thinking that if I give him enough things, he will not need me anymore as though things and God have written down side by side. Have you forgotten that when God made man, when God made the first man, God gave the first man the earth. And God will... God was not releasing the earth to him little by little. As to say, take this portion first. Let me check whether it will corrupt your heart. God gave him everything. God gave him everything. So God is not looking to withhold things from you. Let us be a a mental a mental change that you have genuinely that God wants me to prosper.

It's important that the believer knows that God wants me to prosper. Say it with me. Being helpless is not the same thing as being dependent on God. A person can be poor and still be proud. A person can be poor and still be greedy. A person can be poor and still be dishonest. A person can be poor and still be rebellious. That you are poor does not mean that you automatically depend on God. Another person can possess great wealth and remain humble, remain submitted, remain generous. Abraham was not described as merely comfortable.

Scripture says he was very rich. His possessions were visible. They were measurable. Genesis 13 and verse two. The bible says Abraham was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. Just so you don't say spiritual. Because if they had said Abraham was very rich, you could have had it in God. Your spirituality that makes you detest the idea of talking about money and material things, that makes you feel as though the moment we start moving into the borders of materiality, we have left spirituality. As though the God that makes you a material being doesn't know what he was doing. If God does not want you to be concerned about material things, he would have made you a spiritual being.

If he made you a material man, he knows you did material things. It's why he put you in a material world. Are you with me? Yes, sir. And God himself who is spiritual lays possession on material things. He says the silver is mine. He says the gold is mine. He says the earth is his and it is footstool even. Are you with me? Yes, sir.

So the bible says that Abraham was rich, very rich, not even rich, very rich, Stupendously rich in livestock. Now these were the indices of measuring wealth in their time. Livestock, silver, gold. So if it was now that this scripture was being written and you were to be Abraham, how would they have described you? Can you put your name here and tell me how they would have described you? You don't even know. Nothing is coming to your mind. Kai, you don't even sat down to think about it. Someone is... Someone was false clueless.

You won't be clueless in matters like this. You must... You can't be. You can't afford to be. You can't afford to be. So Abraham was rich in what now? He was rich in what now? He was rich in what now? Gold. In livestock, in silver, and in gold.

God is making you rich in silver. God is making you rich in gold. God is making you rich in livestock. You see, it's not a canal thing to to declare. It's not a canal thing to prophesy. It's not a canal thing to say I'm rich in silver. I'm rich in gold. I'm rich in dollars. I'm rich my wealth will not be counted in mirer. My wealth would only be measured in the most valuable currency.

And prevent your dollars not becoming the most valuable, then whatever is the most valuable, am reaching. I'm reaching bitcoins. I'm reaching whatever. Are you with me? Are you still with me? God did not say, Abraham, you have now crossed the limit of acceptable blessing. How can you become very rich in silver? You have to understand that Abraham's wealth came from covenant relationship. God blessed him so that he will become a blessing. So that through him, the families of the earth will be touched.

In fact, when Abraham's servant later testified about the life of his master, he didn't apologize for the material blessing upon his life. He didn't try to reduce the essence and the weight of it. In Genesis 24 verse 35, Abraham suffered was speaking and he said, God had blessed my master greatly, that he has become great. And God has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold and male and female servants and camels and donkeys. God had blessed him greatly. God had blessed him greatly. And he began to measure what God had blessed him in. Livestock. Flocks, herbs, silver, gold, male and female servants because that was that was the measures of great men in those days. In your own time now, this would be employees.

Camels and donkeys were meals of transportation. In your own time now, this would be your GLEs and your Lexuses and your... Do you understand it was not a canal thing to say that Abraham was blessed in camels? It wasn't a camel thing. So it's not a camel thing. Say, God has blessed me with a car. And if you say, does God bless people with cars? Go and ask Abraham. He will tell you how God blessed him with camels and donkeys. Are you with me?

Yes, sir. Abraham had all the types of transportations. He had camels, then he had donkeys. He didn't have one type alone. Glory to God. In Genesis 26, look at what was said about his son in verse 12. It says then Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. And who blessed him? The The Lord has blessed you. Say I'm a blessed man.

I'm a blessed man. Say it again with conviction. I'm a blessed man. Say it again more more powerfully. I bless one. Who blessed him? Who blessed. Next verse. Then the man that the Lord blessed began to prosper. And God, he was sharing that testimony, then he continued prospering.

Until he became very prosperous. Next verse. For he had what now? Are you seeing that the accounting is what he had again? Possessions of flocks, of houses, of real estates, of lands, of companies, of industries, of businesses, possessions of businesses, multiple chains of businesses. The Bible says and a great number of employees saw the Philistines envied a man. God will so bless you that nations will envy. In the name of Jesus. He began to prosper. He continued prospering.

Until he became very prosperous. Look at the progression there. That's enlargement. A movement from one measure of prosperity into a greater measure of prosperity, and God was not embarrassed by his abundance. The bible does not hide it because it was not spiritually appropriate. No. The bible tells us that he possessed flocks. He had a large workplace, had large resources, had large real estates, had large materials. Are you with me? Yes, sir.

His prosperity created economic activities around him. His increase didn't just change what he could consume. It changed how many people could participate in the economy connected to his life, and the bible was careful to mention it. It's one of the reasons why God enlarges us. Your wealth is not only about what you can buy. Your enlargement can become employment for another person. Your business can become the answer to the prayer of a family whose provider needs work. Your company can become a training ground where people discover their gifts and resources. Your prophet can finance the preaching of the gospel. That's why God enlarges us.

Your prophets can finance the planting of churches. The education of children. The care of widows, and and and the building of infrastructures and institutions around you. Are you with me? Yes, sir. You see, the problem with remaining permanently small is not only that your comfort is affected. Your your limited capacity also affects how many people you can help. It affects how many ideas you can fund, how many responsibilities you can carry. There are problem that compassion alone cannot solve. Compassion must have capital.

There are visions that prayer alone cannot carry. Prayer alone cannot construct. Prayer must produce obedience, people, materials, buildings, technologies, finances. Otherwise, it will remain limited. Are you with me? God wants to raise believers whose hands are so strengthened that when a burden enters their hearts, they don't always have to wait for an unbeliever to finance it. That the measure of your burden tallies every time with the measure of financial resources God places on your hands. God wants to raise people who can hear that the thought needs support and respond instantly. God wants to raise people who can hear that a student is about to leave school because of lack of finances, and they step up instantly. Intervenes and then saves a life and save a destiny.

God wants to raise people who can build quality schools, hospitals, media organizations, technological companies, farms, factories, platforms that express the wisdom and the righteousness of the kingdom. So stop interpreting abundance solely from the perspective of personal luxury alone. When God speaks of increasing you, he may be speaking of increasing the number of lives that can be sustained by the works of your hands. He's speaking of increasing your ability to fund what matters to him. He's speaking of giving you strength that your obedience can become infrastructure. When God was bringing Israel out of Egypt, he didn't tell them that his his intention was just to enable them to escape death. He brought them towards a land, and he described that land as a as a land of abundance. In Deuteronomy eight from verse seven to verse nine, for the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land. It is God who is doing this. He's bringing you into a good land.

Into a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs that flow out of valleys and hills. And the next verse says, a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranate, a land of olive oil and honey, a land in which you will eat bread without scaffolding. In which you will lack nothing. This is the intention of God for the believer. God was describing water systems, agricultural abundance, diverse crops, oil, honey, mineral resources. He said they would eat bread without scarcity. He said they would lack nothing. This is not a language of surviving. God is bringing you out of survival. My prayer for someone today is that you've come out of that thing that makes you survive onto your next miracle.

Survive onto your next miracle. Barely holding on until your next payday. Hanging on to a thread until your next payday. God is bringing you into fountains of abundance. Never lacking nothing. As I'm speaking, the systems to make this possible is coming to you. Resources to make this possible. Ideas to make this possible. Strength to make it possible. Wisdom to make it possible.

When I'm prophesying and I'm saying, God is bringing you into a land. What God is actually doing, how it becomes material in your life is that what makes what I'm saying possible is coming to you as I'm saying it. So it might be coming as resources, it might be coming as ideas, it might be coming as sight and vision, you might just be able to see what you need to do to live where you are into where you're supposed to be. There's someone I'm seeing that you already make some kind of money. You you're not you're not broke. Yeah? But that's not where you should be. And and where you should be is only an instruction away, only an implementation away, only a step away. Are you with me? So when we are prophesying and declaring, what is happening is that scales are falling off people's eyes.

And they are seeing, their eyes are opening to see. So you can just sit down and know what to do. A burst of light hits you as I'm speaking. Are you with me? Thank you, Jesus. Don't build a theology around wilderness provision. Around God supplying every day to meet your need. The testimonies you begin to share from this meeting are more than that. They are more than we were... I was hungry and then God just came.

It's it's... That's that's wilderness. That's manna. And don't get me wrong. Manner manna is from God oh. But that's not the ultimate way that God provides for the believer. Understand that manna is a realm of existence. What did I say? It's beyond just the man that is coming because manna was not the only miracle. They needed to be sustained by different things other than manna.

Manna was only one of the method that God brought provision. There was also water from the rocks. There was also eggs that had to come. There was also different things, different supplements had to be made available because they are not yet entered into that land of abundance. Where God was taking them to, God said, where I'm taking you to, there will be no scarcity. It means if if the testimony of the believer is that I was in scarcity and then God showed up, you have still not entered where God is taking you to. I want somebody to be hungry oh. You have still not entered it oh. That place God is bringing you to. A place where you would not lack bread.

Where you have more than enough to eat at every single point in time. More than enough to bless people. More than enough to give and become a blessing. It means that you can't be thinking solely about yourself in this thing we are talking about. Because hear me and hear me well. A man that had a small mind that was talking to the workers during the workers retreat about enlarged heart. You see, one of the symptom of a small heart is this. A small heart is comfortable in the wilderness. What did I say? Say it with me.

Let me stay a little bit. This is not where I'm going. Let me stay a little bit. A small heart is what? Is comfortable with the idea of there is there is food for today. There's bread on my table. Is comfortable with the idea... The thing with the wilderness provision is that it is only ever enough for you. In fact, that was even the instruction that came with manna. The instruction that came with manna is you can only ever take enough for today.

Do not take more than you need. And if they took more than they needed, it will spoil before the following day. It shows you the operational principle that governs the wilderness. That in the wilderness, you only ever have enough for today. And if you ever try to even keep in the wilderness, what you keep will eventually go. It can never. Do you know what that means? That means a man cannot have enough in the wilderness to think about somebody else. To think about his family, to think about the purposes of God, to think about the kingdom of God. Are you with me?

But the thing about that is that a small hearted person is comfortable because there is still food for you. At least you are not hungry. There's provision when you need it. At least you're not broke. At least you're not begging. You know, it's a problem young people have that makes it very difficult to speak young people about wealth and prosperity Because they don't have enough hunger in their hearts because then there is still manna. There is still there is still places where tongue and tricklets can flow from. You can... There's a there's a brother you can hug. There's an uncle you can talk to.

There's someone you can. So the hunger that you should bring to a meeting like this oftentimes is not there. And those that should have the hunger comfortable with just what is available for them. You see, you don't leave wilderness by being comfortable in the wilderness. You cannot be thinking sustainability and come out of the wilderness because the wilderness will sustain you. It has self preservative mechanisms. There are jobs in the wilderness. What does not exist in the wilderness is abundance. But sustenance is there. It means there's a...

You can... You will get jobs. You will see trinklets, trinklets. There are clients in the wilderness. Opportunities exist there. There are reasons for a man to stay comfortable there, for a man to remain convenient there. Are you still with me? Yes, sir. It means within the heart of the person in the wilderness, you must understand that God's mandate for my life is not this place. At every point in time, you must...

What must be burning within you when we talk about prosperity must be beyond yourself. It must be beyond yourself. That's why when they told spies to go and check out the land of promise and they saw inhabitants there that were giants, then spies came and they were comfortable with the idea of remaining in wilderness. Because they didn't see a need to risk their lives to possess something that they don't even need. When it's not as though where they are, somebody chase them. You don't understand what I'm saying. So if nobody is setting us out of here, why should we go and be fighting fights that nobody sent us to fight? Nobody sent us to fight. I mean, this place we are in is just okay. It's just enough.

I'm not complaining. My family is well fed. And now you are talking about demands of destiny and fighting giants over and over. I don't even know if I will leave. The question is, when a man stands before a mountain and says, give me this mountain. What do you want to use mountain and do? How does mountain profit you as a person? Do you understand what I'm saying? That if you are contending for mountains, yourself is not a consideration. It is not...

You're no longer thinking about what can benefit only you. Otherwise, what you'll be saying is give me this day our deliberate. Give me this day our deliberate. Give me this day our deliberate. That's your concern. A place comes when a man begins to think, give me systems. Give me mountains. Give me structures. So even when a man is in the wilderness, he's not comfortable being there. He's remembering the promises that God has spoken to him.

That where I'm taking you to is a place flowing with milk and honey, a land of abundance. You know what I'm that problem with the wilderness is that the wilderness does not demand as much from you. Because when God says that I will take you to a land flowing with milk and honey, You would think that the things that were available in the wilderness should be what is available in the land flowing with milk and honey. Because when you get there, that's where manna should not be flowing. That's where miracles should not be surplus. But no. When you get to the promised land, when you get to this place of abundance, you realize that it demands more from you than what you ever had to put in in the wilderness. Because in the wilderness, you never had to plant. You never had to till. But when you get to this place, you will not only need to learn how to plant because manna will not fall down.

The land is fruitful means that you would have to plant something. It guarantees that whatever it is that you plant would yield a multitude of increase. It means you would not need to learn how to plant. You would need to learn how to sell what you have planted. There are many skills that the promised land would begin to demand from you that was never a demand in the wilderness. I pray that you understand what I'm saying. I pray that you do. I pray you understand it beyond what I'm saying. Because whatever it is that you know or do or think that brings you a million or 2,000,000 or 5,000,000 or 10,000,000 or the way you go about your business that brings you revenue in in in in 8 figures or 7 figures can't be the same way you would go about the same business that will bring you revenue in nine figures. It means you can't be thinking nine figures or 10 figures and be thinking the same way you're thinking in seven figures or eight figures.

Are you with me? Thank you, Jesus. Deuteronomy eight seventeen to verse 18. There's a warning when you get there. It says then you say in your heart, my power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth. Verse 18, you shall remember Lord your God for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth that he may establish his covenant which is sought to your fathers as it is this day. Are you with me? Yes, sir. God does not give wealth by putting money in your hands. When the bible says he's the one that gives you the power to get wealth, he doesn't always give wealth by putting money, physical money in your hands.

Many times it gives you... It gives the power by which wealth is produced. That's what the bible says. It gives you an idea that solves a problem. It gives you an ability that people need. It gives you access to knowledge. It it connects you to a destiny relationship. It allows you to see an opportunity that is hidden inside an inconvenience. It gives you the strength to work, the wisdom to to structure, and the favor to enter into a market and disrupt that market. That's what it gives you.

This means when you pray for wealth, you must you must you must retain and maintain the sensitivity. To the form in which the answer may come. Because it wouldn't come as money falling down on your laps. Are you with me? Yes, sir. It might come as a burden to learn something. It might come as an idea that keeps on returning to your mind. It might come as an introduction to someone. It might come as an opportunity that might look small when it came, but contains access to something greater. Are you still with me?

Yes, sir. It may come as grace to become disciplined. You must understand that the power to create wealth itself is a gift of God. The ability to think clearly is a gift from God. The ability to produce is a gift. The ability to communicate value is a gift. The ability to gain the trust of people is a gift. The ability to work with your hands, to organize people, to create systems, to build institutions is a gift. So the prophetic word a thousand times more is not limited to declaring that money will enter your account. No.

No. No. No. No. No. Is that the power that produces wealth is coming upon your life. It is that God is enlarging your intelligence. God is enlarging your preparation, your capacity. That ideas that have been hidden from you becomes visible. And you will see opportunities in places where you previously saw frustration.

God begins to show you the door there. There's a door there. The works of your hand will not remain buried. The skill in your life will find a market. Your names will enter into room where opportunities are being discussed. That's the power to make wealth. You see this now? That people who need what you carry begin to recognize you. That's the power to make wealth. That's the part that God does.

That you don't labor endlessly without evidence. That's what God does. And you don't keep planting endlessly into devouring systems. Systems that take and take and take and does not give back in return. That Lord will give you wisdom concerning where to plant and where to build and who to serve and when to move. That it delivers you from wasted effort and scattered energy. It will teach your hands to profit. That is the power to make wealth. Psalms 35 verse 27, the bible says God takes pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. There's a prosperity that magnifies God because it reveals his faithfulness, and God takes pleasure in that prosperity.

The prosperity that forms his purposes. That demonstrates what can happen when a life is submitted to his wisdom. God takes pleasure in that prosperity. Some people find it easier to to believe that God can heal cancer. Than to believe that God can make them financially abundant. Some people find it easier that God can divide the Red Sea. But they struggle to believe that he can enlarge a business. He believe he can raise the debt. But they struggle to believe that he can give strategies to build a company. There's no scarcity in God oh.

God is not sitting down in heaven calculating whether or not your prayers for enlargement will place pressure on the resources. God is not intimidated by the size of your vision. God is not worried that if he blesses you, there will be less blessing available for somebody else. He's the all sufficient God. The earth belongs to him. The silver belongs to him. The gold belongs to him. The cattle upon a thousand eel belongs to him. The required... The the the wisdom required to build belongs to him.

Are you with me? Yes, sir. The opportunities of nations are not outside of authority. They belong to him. And he is not ordering these things from you. As you leave this place, these things are falling on your hands. Alright. When Jesus fed the multitude, he didn't produce an exact ration that will leave everybody satisfied. Mm-mm. The bible says they ate until they were filled.

And even after eating until they were filled, baskets still remained. When he turned water to wine, he didn't just... It was an abundance. When Peter obeyed the instruction concerning the fishing net, the catch was so great that the net began to break. Another bolt had to come and become involved. These signs you see reveals something about the nature of divine supply. That God is not the God of reluctant sufficiency. He gives more than your immediate need. It's not only concerned about your immediate need. It give in such a way that when it produces, when it gives, you are going to need new structures, new relationships, new capacity to manage what has arrived.

And there's a level of increase, the one that God is bringing you into. That that cannot be carried by your present arrangement, your present capacity. Peter's catch needed another boat. The widow's oil required many vessels. The harvest of Joseph required storage cities. But before I start talking about vessels and structures, I want you to first receive that word because you must first believe that God is willing to bless you. You must first allow these things settle deep in your heart. You must first break every agreement with every voice that has told you that your life must remain limited. And some of these limitations did not begin with you. Some of you just entered families where nobody had built anything significant.

You grew up seeing people work hard and then remaining stranded. You saw businesses fail. You saw debt. You saw debts consume people. You saw opportunities disappear before your eyes. And over time, limitation now became normal. You accepted it as the norm. And somewhere you stopped believing. That God prospers men and and God prospers you. God can prosper you, sorry.

But that's not your reality oh. That's bondage. And God is breaking you out of it. Today, a new word is entering your bloodline. That you may have come from limitation. But limitation will not come from you. That you may have inherited debt. But your children will inherit assets. That you may have grown up in rented rooms. But through you, your family will begin to possess lands.

You will begin to build. That you may have watched your parents struggle to pay school fees and struggle to make it through life. But through the wisdom that God is giving you now, education become for you can sponsor for many. The history of your family will not become the prophets of your future. Inherited financial ceilings are breaking today. The patterns of loss, of failed enterprises, of failed businesses, of unpaid debts, of repeated disappointments, it won't continue indefinitely through you. You are coming out of it. Because of you, the Lord is risen builders. Builders from your family. Builders from your bloodlines.

The Lord is risen employers from your house. Financiers from your house. Investors from your house. Producers, innovators, owners of industries. The Lord is putting resources into the I see people building institutions. I just saw a vision. I'm seeing someone and I'm seeing you. You have several keys in your hands like this and there there are doors and you are trying to check which key is opening which door, which keys. And in that confusion, the keys are falling down, you are picking it, you are checking, and the one door opens, and then you rush another one to go and check, which one opens this one? And I'm asking that what what is the mean of what I'm seeing?

And Lord is telling me that this is this young man searching for opportunities and searching for opportunities and searching for opportunities. And I'm seeing the same young man who is searching for opportunities, who is dangling several keys. I'm seeing that same young man now building doors. I'm building doors. I'm building doors. And God is telling me that the same you that is always searching for opportunities, looking for links to apply, looking for praise to pressing, is now creating opportunities. I'm seeing people applying to your funds. Applying to your scholarship grants. Applying to your business grants. Applying to receive investments from you.

Queuing to write the exams, queuing to do different things because you have been told a door will open here and you are entering into several competitive processes And Lord is telling you are the one now creating them. Yes. That's the vision I just saw. It will happen as you are saying it oh. You won't only consume what others create. You will create your own. You won't only pray for help. God will make you the help somebody that I've been praying for. Psalm one one five speaks of increase that reaches beyond the individual into household and the next generation. From verse 12 to verse 15.

It says the Lord has been mindful of us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. Amen. He will bless the house of Heron. He will bless those who fear the Lord, both small and great. It then it may the Lord give you increase more and more. He then says, you and your children. Amen. Oh my God.

May you be blessed by the Lord who made the heaven and the hell. You and your children. That is a level of increase that doesn't die with you. It is increase that changes what becomes possible for others after you. It's the blessing that rewrites the financial possibilities of a household. I, see, a man can make himself great for a household. A man can make himself great for a house. When people check your name or they check your son name. It will be obvious you have made yourself great for your house. That means it wouldn't matter who bore the name before you.

Wouldn't matter who answered the name before you. It would matter what you become because of your children. That because you bore that same name. Even those who are not appreciated to you who only bear the name. The name continues to open doors for people. It doesn't mean that your children now becomes lazy consumers of your labor. Mm-mm. It means that it means that they will not need to begin from the same place you began. There's a level of wisdom they would inherit. Assets, relationships, education, faith.

There is something that becomes open to them because the righteous man pressed into God. God is bringing that increase to your hands. There are families where every generation starts from zero. Every generation. Great grandfather started from zero. Then grandfather started from zero. Then father started from zero. And now the child is starting from zero. The father builds and dies, and everything disappears. And the children build again.

And they build and their own children build again. And they die and everything disappear. But scripture speaks of an inheritance that reaches the children's children. Doesn't mean that God desires continuity. It is out that the obedience of one generation create an advantage for the next. That there is something I can build in my life that becomes an advantage to my children. The blessing of God over your life will not die with you. You are ending that pattern in your family. You won't die with everything God has trapped on your inside. You will beat structures that will outlive your strength.

You will create systems that continue beyond you. Your children will not inherit confusion. They will inherit wisdom. Hear me. Your children will not inherit stories of what you almost did. They will not inherit stories of great men that you almost knew. They will not inherit stories of what could have been. They will inherit the fruit of your obedience. Because from this meeting, you are building empires. You are building empires.

You are building empires. You You are are building building building empires. Empires. You You know as I'm prophesying, small thinking is breaking. You are thinking in terms of empires. Owning empires. Owning organizations. That's why you are thinking now. How this small thing becomes an empire? Sit down.

That's why you are thinking now. Stay with me. I told you it's a prophetic teaching, so I'm gonna be prophesying a lot. But also giving instructions, and we'll stop wherever we can stop and continue tomorrow. I'm not in a rush. I am going to A lot of what will happen in this meeting will happen because the hand of God came upon you. It will not be because you attended a business seminar. No. No. No.

No. Mm-mm. To be because the hand of God came upon you. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy ghost and with power. He went about doing good. Healing all that was oppressed of the devil. For God was with him. The testament would be that the hand of the Lord came upon you. The hand of the Lord will be strong upon your life. The Lord have exalted your horn like the horn of the unicorn.

I have been anointed with fresh oil. Fresh oil. My horn, have you exalted like the horn of the unicorn? The exaltation of your horn is the exaltation of the areas of authority that God has given to you. In your field of influence, even though there are many people doing the same thing that you are doing, your horn can be exalted. Your horn can be exalted. That I have been anointed with fresh oil. Fire. Thou anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.

It is when the anointing comes upon your head. That your cup runs over. That your money bags runs over. The type of anointing that God places upon men. That makes their cup runs over. Is what is coming upon you in this meeting. So I'm not, I'm not in a hurry to start listing principles and saying go and do A, B, C and and Z. No. I'm in a hurry that something lands upon you. That makes implementation easy.

There's someone who knows, who knows so much. But what is missing in that person's life is implementation. Just the ability to implement what he knows. If that individual does half of what he knows, his life will not remain the same. So my desire is not just to come and add more and add more knowledge and add more knowledge and add more knowledge. For you. In my preparation for this meeting, what I asked God for, what I contended for, is that the hand of God comes so strong upon your life. That it becomes obvious in your resources, in your thinking, in your approach to matters. That something has come upon you. Are you with me?

God is not calling everybody to do the same thing or to become the same thing. Not everybody will build a technology company. Not everybody will become a trader or a manufacturer or an investor or a property develop... A property developer or a tech guru. But everybody can become fruitful in their own assignment. Everybody can become fruitful in their own skill. In the sphere that God has given them. God is bringing you into financial room. He's giving you breathing space. He's bringing you out of that place where every unexpected expense becomes a crisis.

He's giving you enough room to obey. Enough room to build, enough room to give, enough room to invest, enough room to rest. I declare prosperity over your life. It's not money that destroys your soul, it's money that comes under the government of the spirit. It's not mourning that produces pride. It's mourning that strengthens obedience. It will not isolate you from God. It becomes an altar of worship. I declare that your account begin to reflect the goodness of God. Your hand will handle resources at levels that are currently impossible to you.

Over every business represented here. I declare multiplication. May your customers increase. May your distribution increase. May increase. May the of your team increase. May the quality of your work increase. May your visibility increase. Businesses that have been eating for a long time. They are coming into visibility.

Businesses that have been surviving through family and friends, patronizing you, who are entering into larger markets. Businesses that have remained small only because of fear. Fear. I see fear. Because of fear. You have undercharged, undervalued yourself, underdelivered because of fear. Because of fear. Receive the heart of a lion. Receive the courage to dominate. You.

Lord is giving you wisdom to build to to come out of inconsistent income. Lord is giving you wisdom to build repeatable systems. Wisdom to retain valuable clients. Wisdom to enter into markets beyond your current geography. The limitation of your current location will not become the limitation of your healing capacity. Please believe what I'm saying. Those who are hanging, who are employed by others, who are employees, Your reward will not be stagnant. Lord is increasing your competence. Lord is increasing your distinction. Lord is increasing your negotiating power.

Is giving you favor. In front of the vision makers. In places where your value should be recognized, you will not become invincible. Now receive promotions. Receive better opportunities. Receive Receive promotions. Receive better opportunities. New streams of income are opening. New streams of income are opening. In the name of Jesus.

The disciples Christian network will not lack the the the resources for assignment. Whenever we have a vision to execute, provision will answer. When there is a land to possess, we got this will answer. When there are nations to reach doors will open. The Lord will prosper the people of this house. Until the strength of their individual lives becomes the strength of the collective vision of this house. Listen, let let me explain what I'm saying. That means that wealth will not be concentrated in the hands of one or two people. That's why I said the Lord will prosper. Everyone in this house.

Amen. Until the strength of our individual lives become the collective strength of the vision of this house. You go to some churches and then the builder of the church are just a few individuals. The church can be a thousand in numbers, but the pillar are five. Five. It is the offerings of five people that is building the church. Yet the church is... It has massive numerical strength. And you would think that because the people are multitude, means everybody is prosperous. And you check behind the scene and you find that there are only five financial pillars.

When the pastor comes to announce, the offering becomes 80,000. One person gives 50,000,000. Offering of 1,000 people, 80,000 naira. But after the service, one person comes and brings a seat in a checkbook and writes there, pastor, nothing you announced. This is a 100,000,000 for it. But the church keeps on getting enlarged. There's financial capacity and financial provision to promote, to put billboards everywhere. And it's not because the people are prospering. It is because there are five financial pillars. And as long as the five financial pillars keep on prospering, we don't really care whether the people prosper.

We don't even care if the people give. We don't need the people to give. We only need them to come to church. So we can keep on organizing programs upon programs as long as the people come to church. That will not become the case here. Wealth will not become concentrated in the hands of one or two. God is raising a prosperous people. Business owners are rising from this place. Skilled professionals are rising from this place. Employers of labors are arriving from this place.

Investors are arriving from this place. The prophecy is not that one person's wealth will not become the rescuing power of the church. The prophecy is that God will release power to create wealth across the house. God will distribute ideas. His awakening gift across. It's connecting people to help us. Raising profitable partnerships. That's the prophecy. That's the prophecy. Not that one, two, three people.

That every time you hear millions, you only know the faces that talk about millions. You already know the faces that talk about millions. Are you with me? Yes, sir. I've always said it. That this church is not that where one person is celebrated as a celebrity. Where one person becomes... That... That's not it. And it's the same thing in your finances.

Across every mountain of influence, you would find financial giants in this church. You'd find people in entertainment and they are billionaires. You'd find people in businesses and they are billionaires. You'd find people... Even in the business you'd find different kinds of businesses and they are billionaires. Somebody making hair and she's a billionaire. Somebody's selling shoes and it is a billionaire. Are you waiting brothers and sisters? Thank you Jesus. You Jesus.

Declare in one minute. Say God is increasing me. I am increasing me. A thousand times more. A thousand Prophesy it over your life. Amen. Amen. Let me see if out of my instructions, probably I can give one and then we close. Second Kings four from verse one. A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha saying, your servant, my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord, and the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be slaves.

So Elisha said to her, what shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house? And she said, your mid servants has nothing in the house but a jar of oil. It interests me that this woman was connected to the prophetic household. Her husband feared God. She feared God. Yet reverence for God had not prevented a financial crisis from entering the family. It must immediately correct that shallow understanding of spirituality. To tell you that loving God does not mean you will never encounter financial pressure. That being righteous does not automatically mean every economic decision around you will automatically be wise.

Because a person may love God sincerely and still lack knowledge and wisdom about finances, about multiplying finances, about managing finances. A family can be spiritual and still have no emergency reserve whatsoever. Have no succession plan. Have no productive assets. Have no system capable of continuing. Have no system of multiplication. Have no business. Have no increase or have no strategy for increase whatsoever. And the woman came crying to the prophet because she needed divine intervention. She had reached the limit of what she knew how to do.

And the prophet did not tell her that money was coming. It's very interesting what the prophet tells her. The prophet did not go and ask the members of the prophetic community to come and contribute money for her. The question is, what do you have in your house? Whenever God asks questions like that, it's not because God needs knowledge. It's because you need the revelation. When God asked Adam, where are you? God was not asking Adam because he didn't knew where Adam was. It was because Adam needed to confront precisely where sin had taken him. When God asked Cain where Abel was, he wasn't as though God did not know that Cain had killed Abel.

It was because God needed Abel to face what he had done. Are you with me? The same thing when Jesus asked the disciples how many loaves he had. It wasn't because Jesus himself lacked the ability to, you know, count the loaves or to... It was because he was teaching them to recognize what was already present even before multiplication began. So the same way when the prophet was asking the question here, the question was designed to move the woman's attention from the size of the problem she was in to the seed that carried her hands up. Because the moment she kept on seeing the problem, she would refuse to see where the answer was. Are you with me? So the prophet could have said, go and get the oil. But the prophet post a question so that she could think for a moment, carrying her attention away from the problem to the answer.

Her eyes were on the depth. Elisha directed her eyes towards the house where the answer was. Her mind was occupied what what... With with the the creditor coming to come and take her sons. But Elisha was asking her, what do you have in your house? The question is not what do you wish you had? The question is not if you had this, what would you do? Are you with me? It wasn't, what would you do if somebody gave you a large capital, a large amount of money? What would you do if the economy was easier?

If electricity was constant? If customers were coming and everything was perfect, is what do you have? You see, the first discipline of wealth creation is that you must learn to identify what is available before complaining about what is absent. Because if you would be poor, how you would know a poor man is based on the fact that his eyes is untrained in recognizing what is available. Poor people complain about everything. They are not trained to see solutions. They are not trained to see answers. And so they cry over what is absent. Whereas, there is always the availability of something that can change their circumstances, but they just cannot see it. It's the same problem with a small heart.

Imagine that this woman had something in her house that could turn everything around. But she was too troubled by the problem and all she was seeing was the problem. Wealth begins with accurate inventory. You must look at your life with very careful eyes of stewardship And ask what knowledge do you possess? What do you have? What knowledge do you have? What have you learned to do? What problems do you understand? Relationships have you built? What resources can you access?

What experience have you accumulated over time? What opportunities are hidden inside your present environment? What do you have? And when the woman answered, watch her answer very carefully. She said, your maid servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil. Her answer reveals exactly how people respond when the resources that they have appear to be too small for the problem that they face. They say it's nothing. They say it's nothing. Then she said bought a jar of oil. So in her mind, the oil was so insignificant compared to the depth that she had accumulated.

And so she classified the oil as being nothing. That is exactly the phrase that people use when they've not yet seen the economic possibility of what they possess. We will be saying it in different ways, but it's still the same language. Say I don't have what I need. Whether you ask the person saying these things and then the person has a phone. In other words, person is saying I have nothing but the phone. I have nothing but a small shop. I have nothing but an Instagram page. With a few thousand followers. I have nothing but the ability to cook.

I have nothing but a laptop. I have nothing but certificate. I have nothing but experience in this industry. I have nothing but a few customers. I have nothing but an idea. Different language but the same thing. And we call it nothing because it has not yet produced the result that we need. We call it nothing because we are comparing it in its present form as a seed to what it can be in the final form as an harvest. But it is in the very nature of a seed not to ever resemble the harvest it will produce for you. A seed never resembles the harvest.

A seed never resembles the tree. So a jar of oil does not resemble millions that can set a household free from debt. In the same way, five stones and a sling does not resemble deliverance. In the same way, a staff or a rod doesn't resemble Red Sea patting. In the same way, many things that can create wealth for many people don't oftentimes resemble the abundance that they are looking for. Are you with me? Five loaves does not resemble what can satisfy multitudes. The mistake we make is not that the resource is small. The mistake is concluding that the smallness means that it is useless. You have to understand that God's special life is in placing significant futures inside unimpressive beginnings.

Things might look small at first, but then they have the potential and the capacity in them to become significant if planted. If planted. It is the way that God operates. The bible says in Zechariah four verse 10. Let's read it together. Zechariah four verse 10. One, two, three, go everybody. This is what I want you to see. Who has despised the day of small things? The danger of despising small things is that you abandon what God intends to multiply.

So you can neglect a skill for instance because it's not yet producing millions for you. You can refuse to serve one customer who orders for your business with respect and with honor because you feel as though, I mean, after all the marketing I have done, only one person. And then you now pour your frustration on the one person because it doesn't look like the millions that you that you saw. You may ignore a a relationship because the person does not presently look influential. You may stop building because the first response that you got in building was disappointing. And the bible called it the day of small beginnings. That everything big always starts small. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Everything big.

The natural condition of beginnings is small. Every large business was once small. Every large ministry was once small. Every established professional that you know in any industry was once small. Every organized brand you know was once small. Every person who now commands significant resources was once small. Are you with me? Yes, sir. So the widow's oil wasn't just potential, you see. Because when I'm saying this now, somebody can misunderstand what I'm saying, so I have to be very specific.

The widow's oil was a real substance with real value, real usefulness. It could be sold. People needed it. They could cook with it. It could become something that another person was willing to receive, was willing to buy. That means that when I'm saying your seed or what do you have in your house, you have to realize that that seed, that economic seed eventually must connect to real value. Wealth is not created just because you feel passionate about something. Wealth is created when what you possess becomes useful enough to solve a problem, becomes useful enough to meet a need, to improve the condition of of someone or to produce a result for someone. That's when what you have becomes valuable. You can have a gift and the gift that you have is spiritual.

The gift that you have is creative. The gift that you have is intellectual. But for that gift to become economically valuable or economically productive for you, it must be developed into a form that serves people. For instance, somebody might be naturally persuasive in that you can convince people to do something, to get something. You can influence people. You can be a natural influencer. But people would almost naturally listen to what you have to say. So much so, if somebody wants to make a division and they've made up their mind about something, they would avoid telling you. Because if you had a contrary opinion, you not just have to convince them to change their mind. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes, sir. And it might come naturally to you. But you see, persuasion in itself does not become economically valuable until it is developed into sales. Because that would mean now this thing that is natural to you must become something that becomes valuable to a businessman. How can you persuade people to buy this product? Are you with me? Until it becomes negotiation, until it becomes marketing, fundraising, communication. You can be creative naturally, but creativity only becomes economically valuable when it produces designs, videos, campaigns, products, or experiences or solutions that somebody needs. So you just being creative in itself is not enough until it can produce value. Are you with me?

You may be intelligent, you may be smart, but intelligence in itself does not automatically create income. You can know numbers, right, and and be very smart in arithmetic. And when people ask you stuff, can easily remember you have a long term memory. But this in itself, even though it is something, does not automatically create wealth. Are you with me? Sir. Buying intelligence must become specialized knowledge. It must become sound judgment. It must it must become useful analysis before it can be beneficial to someone else. It might become a product or a service, a system of making decisions, of analyzing things.

Maybe you're an auditor. A financial auditor for instance, you are using your mathematical knowledge now to produce value for someone. You see? But not just that joy is not that you are gifted in something, it's that what you are gifted in can translate into value to someone or to a people. You may be hardworking, but labor must be directed towards something. Something that the marketplace recognizes as valuable. Otherwise, you can work extremely hard on an activity that nobody needs. And then you remain financially stranded. So that question, what do you have? Must now be followed by what can what you have become.

Because if it stays that what do you have, it still cannot do anything to you. It still cannot provide anything for you. Are you with me? The oil rather wasn't what brought or wasn't the final product. It was the seed of the product. Glory to God. In in Exodus four verse two, God asked Moses a question, what is in your hand? And Mobius said, a rod. That rod had been an ordinary instrument of shepherding all along. He had been using that rod to tend animals in the wilderness.

That rod represented the work he had been doing even all the years of his life. But when Moffee surrendered the rod as an instrument to God, it became connected to a greater purpose or a greater assignment in his life. That rod now become an instrument of signs and wonders. He put that rod in front of people and became snake, swallowing other snakes. It was at that point it became valuable, not just as a rod. Are you with me? So if you went to people and just said, God gave me a rod, what does that mean? How does a rod mean anything to us? There are abilities in your life that currently looks ordinary because you have lived with them for a long time. So you assume that everybody can do what you can do because it comes naturally to you.

For instance, you organize people without struggle. Organize events without struggle. You explain difficult ideas in simple language very easily. You notice visual errors quickly. You are good with numbers or you are good with colors. You can combine colors easily. You can combine clothes. Very, very, very good. So much people will ask you, ah, do you go to any fashion school the way you combine these things? In fact, people would even think you have too many clothes in your in your wardrobe.

Whereas you only have, say, about five or seven. But the way you mix them all together, somebody will say, did you buy this one? I have the same one you've always had. In fact, I wore this one last week, but you don't know because now I'm combining them in different ways. And it just comes naturally to you. And that person that it comes naturally to is broke. Yet you have something in your house that can become value to people that you've looked down upon because you call it nothing. Are you with me? Yes, There are people that understand technology more quickly than people around them. You can tell stories easily.

You understand young people very well and what they want. All the needs of of of mothers, of elderly people, of traders, of churches because you've stayed long around them. Or small businesses even because you've stayed long around them. Those things can be rods. They can be things you have in your house. In themselves, they are not automatically businesses, but they may reveal the raw material from which a valuable skill or a valuable product or a valuable service can be built. Are you with me? Your natural inclinations can point towards areas where disciplined learning can produce competence to produce something that the world will later need. But the mere fact that it's a gift does not mean that it is ready for the market. The fact that you have something that actually is the talent of yours or any other things I've mentioned or even more that I've not mentioned doesn't mean that you are competent in it.

So for instance, now you can have a good high for beauty. Right? You can have a good high for for design and for colors, but you'll still need to study design. Still need to go to a fashion school for instance. Still need to study styling to turn that thing into value. You wouldn't just say, oh, I was in a meeting, supposed to point it out something that I've always had. I didn't even know I have it. Okay. Let me make money out of it. And then now start...

No. No. No. No. There will still be a need to refine that thing to become something extremely valuable that you are competent in. Are you with me? You can speak confidently for instance or be persuasive like I've said, but still need to learn sales. Still need to learn marketing. You may enjoy technology and all of these things, but still need to learn how to build reliable products. You can have followers online because you started doing something that you love and then people gather around it.

That in itself is something you have in your house. It can turn you into a millionaire or even a billionaire. But if you don't understand exactly how to create wealth around what you have, it will still be a waste of resources. Are you with me? So the jar of oil is only the beginning. The rod is only the beginning. It is never just the finished product. God gives seed, but seed must then be cultivated. God gives ability, but ability must then be trained. God gives opportunity to you, but opportunity must then be understood.

It gives ideas, but ideas must be structured. It must even be tested. It must be executed before it becomes something of value. Glory to God. Thank you Jesus. The answer to your prayer already be there. And God is saying, do something with what you already have. Do something with what you already have. It doesn't have to be far fetched. And the reason I'm saying this or starting with this is because many people have this idea that especially when they go learning courses or looking for something to do, they start asking around and and meeting several people and consulting so many people.

In their connotation, somebody tells them, you wanna make money. Okay? What are you doing? I'm doing this. Then they start doing that. And they do this for, like, five months, one month, one year. Then they don't see result, then they just drop it. Then they go meet somebody else. Somebody else tell them, okay. Me, I'm into this one.

Then they go and lend that one again, and then they stay there for some time. And then after staying there for some time, oh, this is not working for me, then they drop out again, and then they go into something else. And in all this time wasting, there might be a question God is asking them. What do you have in your house? What do you have in your house? Can you sharpen it into a skill? Can you turn it into something that people can pay money for? Are you with me brothers and sisters? Yes, sir. Into something that people can pay money for.

You have to understand that a business does not start with a logo or a or a or a company name or a social media page or something. No. Those things become necessary eventually. They are not the essence of a business. A business begins when value is created. That's when the business starts. The moment you start creating value, you already started a business. The moment you start selling the value, the moment somebody's willing to exchange the value for reward. You've already started a business. The question now would be scaling the thing, multiplying the thing.

That becomes the question. You can register a company and still have no business. You can design a beautiful logo and still have no business. You can make business cards and print business cards and still have no business. You can call yourself a chief executive officer and still have no business. So you wanna start selling lands for instance or selling houses for instance. And then you say, you know what? Let me create my business name, create my business this, register my business that, register. Those things are not the first thing you should do. The first thing you should do is sell one.

Sell. First of all, be competent. Show up. Let it be obvious that you you understand what it means to actually market value. A business has already begun. When the business begins, then create structures around the business. Don't feel like someone who has a business actually have one. Because that's what we're trying to do. You have not started doing anything profitable business wise, but you want to start, you know, a business logo, a website, a this, a that, and you've not even sold anything. Business card, a this one, a that one, you are you are majoring on the minor.

The first thing to do is to ensure that you can actually market the value, that you have the value, and that you can market the value. Let it be that all those other things become structures around the business. The business is the action going on. It's the sales that you are making. It's the customers you are you are you are... The customer model you are building for yourself. That is the business. It's not a name. It's not a logo. Are you with me?

The foundation of a business is not title. It is the value that is being exchanged. Someone has a need. They have a desire. They have inconvenience. They have aspiration. They have a problem. And you understand that condition, And then you create a product or a service that addresses that problem. You communicate the value clearly. That is a business.

The person pays. You deliver. If this happens repeatedly, you are beginning to build a business. So the jar of oil in your house must be interpreted through the needs of people. Not just what can I do, but who needs what I can do? Why should it matter to them? Glory to God. Okay. I know how to edit videos for instance, but there are several economic directions inside our ability. So you need to be able to answer who needs what I can do because there are short form videos for businesses trying to reach customers online.

Is that not so? There are advertisement videos for product brands. Somebody else might be producing, teaching content for for churches, for education organizations. Somebody else might specialize in in in long form videos, movies, stuff like that. Yet, everybody says, I'm a video editor. But the world itself is broad. Who needs what I can do? What am I what am I customizing my skill for? So that if I learn this thing, know it extremely well. Are you with me?

I'm a video editor. Can you edit a music video? Or have I identified who needs precisely what I can do? Have I built that skill in a way that I can appeal directly to those people? Not just scattered, but that I can actually appeal to an audience. But if I'm making short form videos for instance, and I specialize in short form videos for instance, why should somebody pay me for it? If I pick somebody's short form video currently existing or what they've been producing for the past six months, and I take like six of it and I reimagine those six in my own... Using my own expertise and what I've learned. And I sent it to to send it to them as examples. Like, look at what your content is.

Look at what it can be when I come on your team. What exactly about what I've produced should make them convinced that I can offer that that much value to them. Are you with me brothers and sisters? Yes, sir. So the technical skill may be similar, but the problem, the customer, the value can differ. Somebody can know how to build websites for instance, but the market does not just pay for the existence of websites. The fact that you know how to build websites doesn't mean that anybody will pay you for it. Organizations will pay you because they need actual things in their businesses, not just that they need a website. For instance, NGOs need donations. They need to raise funds.

So can I build something for them that makes these things easier? That's how I'm solving a problem. People would pay me not just for my technical skill, but for what my technical skill can produce. So my technical skill can bring more donations to you. It can bring more sales to you. It can bring more this to you. So I don't pride in the fact that I can do this. I pride in the fact that I can make this happen for you. The days that I have learned can make this happen for you. That's what makes people pay you.

So if you're marketing yourself for instance, and you're all about how long you've learned this skill and how much you've learned that skill and how good you are in that skill and how great you are in that skill, nobody cares. What somebody cares about is precisely how does all of this becomes valuable to my business. Are you with me? So if my business need more bookings, how can my skill bring you more bookings? How can my skill bring you more leads, more credibility, more sales, more applications, better communication? If what I want is brand visibility, how can my skills bring about brand visibility? How can it bring about more sales to you? That way I'm becoming valuable. Are you with me? So if you are a developer for instance now, if you understand this, you are likely to get more sales than someone who just has a skill.

Who only thinks about coding or building. You can be gifted in writing. But saying, oh, I'm a writer. That's too broad. It's too it's too broad to create any kind of strong economic direction. It's too broad. Writing can be an advertising. It can be advertising copy. It can be video scripts. It can be brand storytelling, can be different things.

The gift that you have or the skill that you have must be applied to a specific need that somebody has. It must be applicable to people. So what do I have in my house becomes what can it become? Then who needs it? Who is it valuable to? Who can it help? Who can it help? Who can I benefit with this? Are you with me? You understand social media, that's good.

But posting every day is not valuable to a business. What a business needs is attention. What they need is inquiries. What they need is leads. What they need is sales. What they need is people knowing what they are doing. Customer loyalty, Strong public relations. So the question is how can your skill bring about this? How can your skill bring about this? When you become more solution oriented, you will arise in wealth very fast.

The problem with Nigerians is that we are too skill focused than we are solutions focused. So a lot of skillful people are not earning because they're glorying their skill and not in the product that they can build or in the solution they can profile. And some people... It's just ignorance. That's why the people that win clients the most are not the most skillful in the thing they are winning clients for. For instance, the fact that you're a good driver doesn't mean that you know how to sell cars. Majority of the guys that work around me who own businesses, I've noticed something similar with all of them. Most of them. Not all of them. Sorry.

Most of them. Most of them do not possess skills that they get clients for. They get the client and outsource what must be done to people who have the skills. And I've noticed that the people that have the skills don't know how to get the clients. Because wealth is not a function of just the skill that you have. Do you understand what I'm saying? So if you're someone who is more skill focused, who is more focused on what I have or what I can do, I'm not thinking from the perspective of whom you are serving, from the perspective of who you are selling to, from the perspective of what you are selling to them and how you can make their life easier, you would stay long where you are. You stay long where you are. So the movement from from gift or skill into wealth passes through several stages. The gift becomes a skill.

The skill must then be connected to a problem. The solution must be must be shaped into an offer that somebody needs. The offer is then directed towards a market that already exist. The market then trust you enough to exchange what you are offering to them for money. Glory to God. Amen. Later on, not today obviously, I'll talk about the mechanism of selling and scaling. There's a wisdom to it. Wisdom to it. Glory to God.

Amen. But at this stage, you must understand what you are actually building. Many people say that they want to learn a skill. They're very young people. You find a lot of young people saying they want to learn a skill, but they've not asked what economic problem the skill will solve. That's another problem you you you face when you are learning skills. You are choosing courses, and you are buying courses because everybody appears to be talking about them. Is this somebody announcing income from a particular field, and then they immediately conclude that that field is what they want to learn, or that field itself produces money. Listen. No skill automatically produces money.

No skill automatically produces wealth. No skill. No skill. You can learn how to mine gold and not see gold one day in your life. Are you with me? There is no skill that automatically, after learning the skill, just hand you in wealth. Mining gold is one thing. Knowing where the gold is is another thing. Even upon knowing where the gold is, I now mine. Understanding distribution is another thing.

Who is willing to buy the gold from you at this crude state is another thing. In other words, networking in places where people that exchange gold for money is is another thing. What are the chances that you would find gold at the back of your house and you know what to do with it? I mean, crude gold. You see, a lot goes into all of this beyond just the skill itself. So let nobody promise you a skill that once you learn the skill, the skill becomes a money vomiting machine to you. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Skill only becomes wealth when competence meets demand. Nobody can can learn a very fashionable skill and learn it very poorly, and that remains unpaid.

Somebody else can learn something that is not so glamorous. But you solve an expensive problem and become financially established forever. The same skill. So don't choose a skill just because it has... Someone has spoken so well about it. Choose with understanding. Ask whether people or organizations are already paying for the result that the skill promises. Ask whether the problem is important enough that customers are prioritizing solving that problem. Ask whether you can become excellent enough to compete in the market after you have learned that skill. Not just being pumped about the idea of learning the skill.

Ask whether whether the skill fits into your already existing abilities or interests or access or even the willingness to practice because it took me about three months or so, three months to learn the skill that I now know. Not... And by three months doesn't mean that I just stopped learning at three months. That's not what I mean. Even after three months, I still continued learning. I was still learning. In fact, I still learn. I still improve myself. You never stop learning. But it took me three months to learn the skill, market the skill, and get a job, get a client.

And the reason is because I already had existing interest, so the skill was easy for me to learn. It wasn't as though you were introducing me into something that I had to start building interest for from the scratch. See, if you ask me what I had in my house, the interest was already existing. So pointing me in the right direction was only honing that interest and turning that interest into a skill. So for many people, there are ways in which the interest you already have can already have skills that you can build the interest into that can turn into profitable skills. Ignorance is your problem. Ignorance is your problem. Just not knowing is your problem. And ignorance is not an excuse. The absence of exposure is not an excuse.

God will open your eyes. Are you with me? Are you with me? And when I'm saying interest in something, I'm not saying something that you are passionate about because passion can grow. You can develop passion for something in... With competence. A lot of people don't begin by loving the work that they do. They begin by recognizing that the work is useful. Then learning to do the work and then finding satisfaction in the value that they create. Are you with me?

So if you have a generation that waits to feel some kind of inspiration before working, You will remain economically unstable. Wealth is built by people who learn to do necessary things consistently. Even things that don't excite your emotions. Ecclesiastes nine verse 10 says, whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your might. It doesn't say that whatsoever is interesting for you to do, whatsoever you find glamorous, whatsoever you are passionate about. It says, whatsoever your hand finds to do. Are you with me? Do it with all your heart. Do it with all your might. Glory to God.

So if you're gonna serve a customer, serve with integrity. If you're gonna create a product, do something that when it is released the market won't see it as inferior. Whatsoever your heart finds to do, do it how? Do it how? Do it how? With all your might. With all your might. Proverbs 22 and verse 29. The bible says, do you see a man who excel in his work? He will stand before kings.

He will stand before kings. He will not stand before unknown men. So when you have found out precisely what is available in your house and you begin to build, the context is you build, you ask yourself what can this thing become, who can it serve, and then you begin to serve someone with it, begin to serve people with it. The next thing to understand is that you don't want to start building with smallness in your heart. In as much as you start everything small, in as much as everything starts small, alright, you don't want to start building with with with smallness as your expectation. In other words, don't have the mentality that you are starting a business to make all hands meet. Don't have the mentality that, okay, I'm I'm I'm... I I don't have much right now. Let me look for what I can sell so that at least I can take care of myself. That is not the mentality that starts a business.

If that is what you want to do, then not even start something. Glory to God. That's not the mentality that starts a business. And when I'm talking about starting a business, I'm not just talking about owning your own craft. I'm not just talking about owning your own craft. Working for someone is a form of business because in so doing, you are also exchanging value for reward. It's the same thing you're doing. You're exchanging value for reward. You're working for something and then you are being paid at the end of the value of... You've worked for.

Are you with are you with me? If that is where you are starting from, that's okay. You can learn how a business works like that. You can serve your way into bigger opportunities. You can serve your way into bigger doors. I'm not the kind of person that thinks that you can't build wealth or you can't have money working with someone or working for someone. Depends on who you are working for. Are you with me? Depends on who you are working for, how valuable you are, how competent you are. Because there are people who work for others, and they are also billionaires.

Yes. Also billionaires. It can't be compared to, of course, honing your own craft, but it is something. So don't have the mentality that I just want to I just want to come out of this this state that I am in. So let me sell this. Let me sell that. When you have that mentality, even to get a job, what happens is that you'll be comfortable with smallness. You will never succeed beyond a particular scope. The moment some amount of money starts coming to your hand, you will build a roof around it. You will build a scene around it.

I would never prosper beyond that level. Ideas will not come to your mind beyond that level. Thoughts will not come to your mind that creates explosion in business beyond that level. Are you with me? There's someone who does a kind of business. Right? And whenever I'm praying and the person comes to my mind, the thought I have is that this person should be expanding this business that they do by now. Expanding so much that they have multiple outlets, they have multiple this and multiple that. But when I bring up this discussion with the individual, he would always feel as though, apostle, this thing that you are saying, I know do all of those things. I know.

But... And let this one just... And you can tell that the plane from whence he's speaking from his mourners because that thing still produces some kind of comfort. It solved my problem of now. So why should I bother fighting giants? That's the mentality. It solved my problem now. So why should I bother fighting giants? Let me also say this. Let nobody who has come to this place be comfortable.

At least, especially if you have no source of income at all. No source, no valuable source of income, and you've come to this meeting. Understand that wealth will not fall in your hands from heaven. The bible says, I will bless the works of your hands. There is got to be works in your hands. What did I say? There's got to be works in your hands. So do not be comfortable having nothing to do. Don't be comfortable that your hand does nothing even if you are a student. Don't be comfortable that your hand does nothing.

There's something in your house. There's nobody who lacks nothing. I was speaking during the workout retreat and I told them, I said, for someone it could it could be it could be something as as simple as access to high net worth individuals. Access to high net worth individuals that God has given to you by privilege of access or by grace. And you look around you either by your parents influence or by something, you you know people that are influential. You know people who are wealthy. That is something you have in your house. For someone, it could be that you were just creating content on social media and then now you have lots of people that follow you on social media. That in itself is not wealth. But that is something you have in your house.

You can understand something about that that then translates that into wealth. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Yes. For that kind of a person now, need to understand what is the currency of attention. What is attention worth? Attention of several people. What is it worth? And instead of depending on brands to pay me for the attention that I have, can I by myself make use of that attention? Okay.

I have the attention. Can I sell something? It would mean that if I'm a business person now, I don't need to think of where the customer will come from. I already have customers. I already have attention. Question now is what do I have in my house? What do I already have interest in that I can partner with what I already do that can become a product that I sell? That becomes what people are interested in today. Even those that like me are patronizing me. That will fetch me more money faster.

Glory to God. Amen. Back to what I was saying, do not be comfortable being here and doing nothing. Don't be comfortable being here and having no source of income. Even if it's a job, the bible said there is dignity in labor. The bible says let him that steal, steal no more. Let him work. Let him labor that he might have to give. Let him walk. Let him labor that he might have to give.

So understand that it is an anomaly for you to be of age and you do not have work, you do not have labor, you'd not have something doing with your hands that guarantees that you have because it is this thing, this working with your hands that God then blesses, that God then opens your eyes in becoming bigger. Are you with me? Do you know what you have in your house can be access to someone that you know from where you are coming from, who has a large shop that sells in wholesales of electrical appliances, shoes, clothes, that you can call the person. The person can be willing to give you a whole bag of clothes that you should sell. And after selling, give me back the money. That access is what you have in your house. That's access. Your eyes only need to open to see it. Otherwise, you can be beside that boat and not see it. That's access.

Have access. It can be several things like that. Remind me of the story of Adai, the slave girl who was beside a well of water, and herself and the son were crying because they were about to die of thirst. And the bible says that an angel came and just pointed to her that there is a well of water beside you. That's exactly how many people cry of thirst when there are answers that can solve your problem beside you. It's why the prophet asks, what do you have in your house? As long as you are concerned about crying and not finding solutions, you will never see solutions. So take... Divert your attention away for a short moment on the absence of resources, on the presence of creditors who are coming to carry your children. Divert your attention away for a short moment and start thinking, what exactly do I have?

When when your attention now starts focusing on what you have, your eyes will now begin to open. God will now begin to do something. There will be illumination that comes. It will be zooming on things you can start doing yourself. That does not need much infrastructure, doesn't need much begging. Remember, he didn't say what did you wish you have. So I'm not talking about something that you will not tell me apostle, and I I found something, but I need capital. That's not what you have. Do you understand what I'm saying? Oh, apostle, I I I have seen something, but I need...

That's not that's not it. That's not it. That's not it. I'm supposed to have found something, but if only I have a shop. They didn't say what did you wish you have? What is it that if only you had? Mm-mm. What is already there? What can you begin to make the most of now? This moment, right now.

Right now. Right now. Right now. Glory to God. Tilt your attention away from the problem, from the crisis. Tilt it towards what is available. What can my hand find doing? And then you would find out it's not so far fetched. It's not so far fetched. In my own instance, again, my own instance, apart from the fact that the interest was there, it was during the time when there was a crisis in Nigeria and there was no physical gathering.

So everybody was online. So I thought to myself that it wouldn't be bad if as a church, we had a platform that could make us online easily. So I had a brother then. And the brother I had was into tech, and he was a big boy in tech. I already had interest in it. But being my elder brother, he had gone ahead of me, right, in that industry. He was working with one of the biggest industries, one of the biggest financial industries in Nigeria, even out of Nigeria. And then he had left the country still pursuing tech. So I met him. I said, can you help us build this?

And the young man told me, didn't know that I'm... I would have built it for you, but I'm busy right now. He then said, you can build it yourself. Was a man of God. I was a pastor. I was a student then, Still in school. So that that to me was a stressful thing. You're just suggesting stress because, I mean, I had a church. We're meeting every week. Glory to God.

And I had several commitments as well. It wasn't just the church. I was preaching in other places as well. Witnesses, I had to be in a place to preach. Fridays, I had to be in another place to preach. Saturdays and Sundays, I had to be somewhere else to preach apart from the meeting that we had with my own people. And I was a student on top of all of that. So it wasn't something I was open to. Then I was praying and the hand of God came. Started reminding me about conversation, about that conversation.

And I knew instantly what it meant. Instantly. That's precisely what I'm telling somebody. That your eyes can open. Where something will just keep on playing in your mind. Just keep on playing in your mind. And you'll be you'll be fast to discern that this is what God is telling me in this area. So I told the young man that if I wanted to learn, how do I start? And he gave me resources upon resources that he had used to learn. So I didn't have to buy them with my money.

That's what I had in my house. Do you understand what I'm saying? I didn't have to start looking for an apostle. I saw one, but it will cost me 2,000 naira. I don't calm down. That's not what we are saying. That's not what we are saying. You are not yet gotten this thing. I was very serious with it. I was watching the videos, practicing the same thing I was watching.

Watching a video to learn something can be deceitful because what you have to do is repeat what the person who is teaching you is showing you. That does not mean that you can solve a real life problem at the end of your watching the video. So that wasn't how I watched because at the end of my watching the video, I could solve real life problem. I dedicated enough time, hours, tens of hours on a daily basis. Nobody had to beg me. At some point, I became tired. I told someone then. That's an encouragement. We continued the game. Continued again.

Continued again. At the third month, I could write HTML by myself, CSS by myself, JavaScript by myself, Node by myself, and PhD by myself. One year into it, there was almost no JavaScript framework I did not know. Angular, Vue, all of them. And those ones were were because I was now working with my brother. He became my first employer with what I had in my house. So I was learning in real time. And learning from him now pushed me out of my comfort zone because he was working with frameworks I had not yet learned. So I had to be learning on the job, learning on the job. And there was no charge GPT.

Neither was there Claude because this was about seven years ago or so. So in about a year, I was very good. Good to the point where I no longer needed to work with my brother. He was paying me 25,000, then he started paying me 50,000, then he started paying me 100,007 years ago. By the time I told him I wasn't gonna work with him anymore, I was already handing about $500 or so every month about seven years ago. Glory to God. And many other opportunities that opened up after that time. My point is, there is always something that is in your house. Always something. As a friend of mine, when we were in school, we traveled home.

And by the time he came back, he came back with hundreds of packing shirt inside nylon. Hundreds of them. Said nylon, properly high and properly folded. Where did you get this from? He said I have a home code that comes from Kutono. And he brings all these things to shops like paying for it. And when he came back, just told him he brought excess. And I just told him, can I have all of these ones? And he said, yes. I can have it.

And he came back, started selling each one for 20,000 naira. The guy went to banks, went to something he did not even buy. That means all the profit was his own. There is nothing to pay. It was given to him. So the amount he sells... The amount he makes from selling one is the entire amount he has. You're not paying back anybody. What do you have in your house? You can go back home and see your uncle with all this thing and say, where is...

Is it excess something that I care? I brought for you. Hey. Sorry. And you just go like that. Yeah. And by the time you come back, you will come back and the student is still calling your mother again for pocket money, that money has finished. Whereas you left a well of water flowing. Left a well of water flowing. May God open your eyes.

I believe so strongly that one of the first thing that must happen to a man with respect to what creation is that his eyes must open because you must be able to identify. You must be able to see. You must be able to see. I have a sister who is very industrious. My sister happens to be a very industrious person. Knew that she didn't want to walk under anybody, so she was learning every single thing that she could learn. Went into soap making and started a soap making business because the opportunity presented itself. She started making soap, selling soap, in large quantity. From soap making, she went into baking, chin chin, and legs. She would make chin chin in large quantities.

From that, she went into fashion and learned fashion again. Spent some months learning fashion until she became very good. All of these things, all she had to do was put herself inside of it. Majority of the things that piqued her interest were things that were not so far from her. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Not so far from her. There's always something around you or inside you that God puts there that can turn you into a wealthy person? Around you or inside of you? Around you or inside of you? Another person is safe.

Cannot... Might not even be anything that you have. It might be that God just gives you access to a billionaire, a millionaire, someone who already has a large company of selling something. And God tells you, go and serve in that place. Whilst you're serving there, your own eyes is opening to see precisely how this thing works. Where do they get product from? You would not know that where products come from is is a is a struggle until you start selling something. Realize it's a huge headache knowing precisely where to buy things from at reduced price so you can make profit from it. And most people that have businesses don't like to reveal this secret. So God can just put your eyes and say, whilst you are serving there, the guise of IT, under the guise of NYSE, under the guise of anything, your eyes open and you see.

The man, the man will tell you, help me call my suppliers. When are they bringing things? And you call them and you do all of these things. You serve there for some time and then you learn the intricacies of how business works. And by the time you are done learning, if you now leave that place and you don't know the principle of wealth conversion, you will still live poor. There will be no proof that you learnt anything. You are a Joseph, learn Nanda Laban, ensure when you leave, you live with wealth. Wealth of how the business is done. Are you with me? Sir.

Wealth of how the business is done. I know a farmer who owns a big farm right now, a millionaire, comfortable guy. And he was telling me, I asked him, how did you start? And he said, oh, well, I didn't really have a huge piece of land in starting. But I just learned that there was a particular cooperative then that was giving loans to farmers and then those who were giving lands to farmers. And they chose... If you already had lands, they were giving loans. If you had no land, they were giving you lands. One plot, two plot, and they list it out to you, and then you pay them pay them, you know, instrumentally for it, and he he checked the payment structure. It was very comfortable, very convenient for him.

I think he mentioned how much he was paying per month. I think it was 20,000 naira or so. He went for it, got about... He took lots of land, and the two plot of land right now become hikers. Hector's even. Comfortable human being doing well. I asked him. I said, those people that were given that loaner or they call that cooperative, do they still exist? He said, yes, oh, but nobody knows about them now. That means somebody who wants to learn farming from you now, you can just show them.

So why will I show them? He said, of course, nobody reveals their secrets. He said, the more people I show, the more competitions I have. Glory to God. Favor is then working with those kinds of people, and they show you regardless of their premonitions. Is the operation of favor upon you? Is the operation of the hand of God upon you? That they would otherwise not have shown, but because the hand of God is upon you. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes.

If you are here and you find out that there's nothing I'm doing at the moment that translates into wealth, let this become a charge to you to rise up. Don't be comfortable in the wilderness. Let it become a charge to you to ensure that within the next thirty days, within the next sixty days, my hand must find something doing. I must put myself into competitive processes that guarantees reward for labor. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Into competitive processes that guarantees reward for labor. I must put myself there. If you're someone who already has something doing under the sound of my voice, then let it be that the word that you leave this place with is I'm not okay with little. I'm not okay in the wilderness.

I believe that this that I have can scale. I believe that this that I have can multiply. I believe that this that I have can expand and can reach the world. And so whilst we pray, you are thinking and praying about wisdom for multiplication, about structure and system that you must put in place, exposures you must have in your mind, and now you can have them as a person. But just don't be comfortable doing nothing or earning little. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Let your taste bud become larger. Yes, sir. Rise up on your feet.
