In His Eyes
‘Then the Lord gave me this message: “O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand.’ Jer.18:5-6.
In this verse, God refers to Himself as the Potter and refers to us as the clay. What is clay? Clay is worthless dust. God says to Israel that as the clay is in the hands of the potter so Israel [which is us] is in His hands. There are two forces at play in pottery making. The first is the intent of the potter [his desire or what he intends to create]. And the second thing is the readiness of the clay. Every potter in the creativity of His mind knows what He wants to make out of the clay that is before Read the rest of this entry
Beyond Limits
‘Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem’ John 4:21.
While every human being has a loving heart towards some people, almost every human being has a list of people that they cannot stand. It could be the person that cost you your job, or the person that took your spouse, it could be the person that stole your money, or someone who was nasty to you, or the person that cost you your business. Sometimes it is that class of the ‘un-liked’ that God Read the rest of this entry
Perspective, Attitude, & Wisdom
‘One day the widow of the member of the groups of prophets came to Elisha and cried out, “My husband who served you is dead, and you know how he feared the Lord. But now a creditor has come, threatening to take my two sons as slaves’ 2kings 4:1.
Please read 2kings 4:1-7. This story is a classic in how to demolish poverty from a life. So I am praying today that by the time we are finished with this season, poverty will be totally demolished from our lives in the Name of Jesus. Is God blessing you and you have no clue on how that is happening? You have no clue on how God is doing the things that He is doing. There is a name for where you are and it is called the wilderness. It is only in the wilderness that God will be Read the rest of this entry
The Condition
‘For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36 [KJV]
The sixth truth is money actually grows on trees. The problem with a lot of us is that we are too lazy to go and pluck it. Secondly, we are too lazy to plant the seed, nurture it, and watch it grow into a tree. Then it starts to bear fruits of money and we begin to pluck it. Money grows on trees but a lot of us are not willing to farm. A lot of us want to be hunters – ‘small work, plenty money’ [Yoruba proverb translated]. I have heard entrepreneurs lament that a lot of the graduates and even Read the rest of this entry
The Truth
‘And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’ John 8:32
Yesterday we highlighted four levels of money – poverty, lack, comfortable, rich, and the wealthy. The rich are conceited and sadly they are the last to know that they are proud. The wealthy people most often look as simple as can be. Beyond the level of the rich and the wealthy is the level of the flourishing. The Bible says they that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish. The people on this level have a very different attitude to life. When they are in the car they sit in the front with the driver. A rich man will never do that. On Monday mornings, the flourishing don’t rush to work. Monday mornings Read the rest of this entry
Object Of Affection
‘No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money’ Matt.6:24.
Jesus is saying when it comes to service you have to choose between God and money. A lot of people are serving money. And a lot of people are only serving God because of money. So who are they serving? A lot of people will only come to church because that breakthrough came through. They will only move close to God because there is a potential financial increase. They will come to church because the church has a reputation for power services. Their Read the rest of this entry
More Than Gold!
‘The Almighty himself will be your treasure. He will be your precious silver’ Job 22:25.
God said to Moses, ‘the promise that I have made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob your fathers the patriarchs. I am about to give you the land that is flowing with milk and honey, houses that you did not build, wells that you did not dig. But Moses, I am not going to go with you because the people are stubborn. But I will give you the land to fulfill My Word so that people will not call Me a lair’ [translated]. Do you know what a lot of people will say, ‘O! But you Read the rest of this entry
Cherish Jesus
‘And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!’ Ps.90:17
The second truth about money is- prosperity does not imply divine approval. A lot of people have ship wrecked their faith because they equate prosperity to divine approval. They believe that because they are prospering financially then God must be happy with them and their idea of God accurate. I am the one paying the bills and calling the shots then my idea of God is accurate. I am sorry but it does not follow. ‘For the turning away of the Read the rest of this entry
Daily Confessions
‘Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth’ 3 John 1:2 [KJV].
Over the next few days, by way of setting a foundation, we are going to be learning seven truths about money. The number one truth about money that you must know is that God really, really wants you to prosper. Say it out loud to yourself ‘God really wants me to prosper’. Some of us need to confess this everyday we wake up for the next one-week because we have been programmed wrongly. God really wants you to prosper. God says that it is His desire Read the rest of this entry
For Your Good II
‘But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband’ 1 Cor.7:2[NIV]
Songs of Solomon is a very graphic book when it comes to sexual relationships between a man and a woman. You cannot be holier than God. God says something is holy then it is holy. God says sex in marriage is honorable and the bed is undefiled. Then it is honorable. So why do you feel guilty anytime you make love with your spouse? Something is wrong somewhere. There was a lady that we had to do some form of deliverance for because every time she is with her Read the rest of this entry
