Deuteronomy 8:11-14,17-18, Psalm 35:27
To truly walk in Kingdom wealth, you must know how to
attract, manage, multiply and preserve financial resources.
The absence of financial resources in your life punishes
you, impedes the quality of your living, the advancement of the kingdom and
your potential to be a blessing. Money is not what destroys men, it’s the
disposition of the heart of the one in custody of it. (money is amorphous). You
cannot attain a position of influence if you are poor.
FINANCIAL FREEDOM/FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE
Definition: the presence/availability of abundant financial
resources + the time to use it + peace of mind.
In the world system, wealth is at the expense of either
health, peace, family etc
Once Jesus is out of the equation, frustration is imminent.
There is a void so large that only the size of Jesus can fill in a man; nothing
else sustains that ability.
Whatever requires that Jesus is out of the equation to
prosper is demonic. You can prosper with the dignity of Kingdom integrity.
Peace is my highest definition of progress. May you never be
so poor that all you have is money.
In this Kingdom, you must score 5/5 (Five Levels of
Prosperity) to be said to be wealthy.
THE PHYSICAL LAWS OF ABUNDANCE
Both the physical and spiritual laws are called Kingdom
laws. The power of God backs them.
1.
The Law of Mental Transformation: your thoughts
will eventually translate to your physical reality. Your belief systems and
your thinking have a relationship with your financial level and your destiny. Prov.
23:7 – your mental state has a lot to do with your financial reality.
Genesis 11:1-6 – everything in life (the
Kingdom) is built twice; first in your mind and then physically. If you try to
build physically without first building it mentally (spiritually) you will lose
it. God was attracted to man’s thoughts. Imagination made the building a
tangible edifice in the spirit realm. Your mind is an architect of your
possibility. You don’t have to move to a physical location to prosper. Let your
mind work with the Word of God to start building your tomorrow.
Your mind is an extraordinarily fertile
garden. It will grow any seed (ideas you allow in - failure, limitation,
success, victory, faith etc). You must pay attention to what you drop in your
mind.
Proverbs 4:23: Your prosperity will be in
greater measure, a result of your paradigm and philosophy, than a result of
your surrounding or the economy. No matter what changes in the economy, if you
don’t change in your mind, you will remain poor. Likewise, no matter what
changes in the economy, if you change your mind, everything changes. On an
individual level, the economy is not the reason you are poor, it is largely
your ideas (ideology/paradigm).
If you attempt to change your physical
reality without first changing your mind, your mindset will compel behaviors
that will force your life to return to a level that reflects your thinking. In
aerodynamics, this concept is called cybernetics. Same principle applies in the
working of the thermostat.
Evolve to a superior version of yourself.
Your mindset has an assignment to ensure your physical reality is consistent
with the level of your thinking. Anytime your physical reality is higher than
your mindset, it fights it until it returns to the level of your thinking.
Your mindset is the authorized escort to
lead you to where you want to go. It goes to that realm to verify, then picks
your body to that realm. The Spirit’s backing of this law enforces that whoever
has been transformed should not remain at a level that is below that
transformation.
Don’t live a fake life; why fake what can
be real? If you eat tomorrow’s bread today, you will be hungry tomorrow. The
real way to grow is to change. The moment you find yourself looking for money,
you have missed the law. Don’t look for money, it is not missing. It is
attracted by who you are becoming; becoming is greater than doing. Your
evolution/transformation is greater than what you do.
Daniel 11:32 – it starts with knowledge,
transformation and then action. Don’t reverse the order. The wealthy are
wealthy because of the mindset powering their business and not the business
they are doing.
Your body is a slave (obedient) to your
thinking. The real man is your mind. Don’t change clothes or other physical
dimensions of the man until you have changed the mind. Don’t blame (or berate)
people having results while you are in a condition occasioned by your thinking.
It wasn’t the oil and one vessel that
brought increase, it was the oil and many vessels. The prophet told her to go
borrow many vessels. A person collecting rain in a cup can make it look like a
downpour was a drizzle.
Don’t rush the seasons in your life. Grow
through them, don’t just go through them. Focus on growing and everything
around you will grow too. Every level has a blessing attached to it and you get
them by growing into that level. Everything you are looking for is also looking
for you but not this version of you. These results were designed to follow
growth and when you are there, they will be also (even if you try to push them
away). Don’t be ashamed of your process.
Don’t try to give a narrative of your success that is not true.
Until you can give to the Kingdom without
inconvenience, you are not there yet. There is a level that you get to, your
helpers must remember you; the fact that they cannot remember you, shows you
are not obeying the law. The money you are paid is what your mindset has
instructed that you should be paid.
Your physical environment will gradually
and eventually, reflect the true state of your mindset. You renew your mind by:
a.
gaining access to superior and Word-based ideas and
information.
b.
Repetition until conviction is established.
Hearing once will not bring transformation, you must hear again and again.
2.
The Law of Value: a measure of your skill, gift,
or ability whether acquired or inherent. Proverbs 18:16. Your value is a
measure of your usefulness to the marketplace. It is also a measure of your
ability to solve problems and provide solutions that are needed and useful
within the context of a civilization. Your value decides who pursues you and
who rewards you. We get paid and rewarded for bringing value to the
marketplace. You must discover and develop problem-solving-skills and abilities
if you want to prosper. Become a master at providing solutions and you will
never be ignored. Rewards answer to value with no prejudice for age, gender,
religion etc. Be too good to be ignored. May you be so valuable that while you
are sitting down, many people’s prayer requests will be looking for you. (Gen.
41:38)
Genesis 41:14,33-43
Every blessed man is looking for people of
value. Value is an enhancer of favor.
3.
The Law of Productivity: the quality or ability
to create, make or enhance products and services. Productivity is the ability
to refine and develop your value and turn it into products and services that
are needed and useful, then serve it with excellence to a targeted consumer
base. Your value may be qualified for commendation but not yet reward; turn
your value into productivity. Contend for productivity.
It is only when you serve kings that you
get the reward of kings. Never stop developing yourself until you are in the
palace serving kings; that’s where the gold and treasures are. Serve your way through
excellence into the presence of the king. Being valuable is not enough; your
value must be refined, packaged, and served with excellence to command a
reward.
Fight mediocrity like you fight Satan. It
is the sponsor of a mediocre and defeated life.
Productivity requires exposure; this
broadens your horizon beyond your current scope of sight. It expands your mind
and your thinking. Positive exposure is very necessary if you will be
productive. Productivity also requires creativity and innovation.
Competence and excellence are magnets
attracting people, resources, and opportunities into your life. Decide to be
competent, productive, and excellent.
4.
The Law of Increase: Matthew 25:14-30, Increase
is a law.
2 Corinthians 9:10 – important words;
bread, multiply, seed, increase
For every blessing of financial increase
(salary, favor, increase etc), there is always seed and bread. The assignment
of bread is to satisfy your present need while that of seed is to ensure you
are not hungry tomorrow. Eating your seed or sowing your bread is a waste.
Don’t focus on seed and forget bread. Likewise, don’t focus on bread and forget
to sow.
Every seed is small. There is no seed that
is a tree until planted/sown. Summon the courage to decline things that will
eat your seed. If you don’t respect the seed in ten thousand, one million will
never come.
Don’t regret the mistakes of yesterday,
start now. Practice savings. The percentage you save should be determined by
the amount of time you have. Your sprint should be in correlation with what’s
chasing you. You can’t be saving 20% of your income at age 40.
Two major reasons to save money: Emergencies
and Investments.
Money multiplies mainly through
investments. Investment is the acquisition of assets. Spend your life acquiring
assets that will pay for your liabilities. Every time you spend all you have;
you punish your future. Be frugal, especially when you are rising. Build
systems that can replenish you. Live many layers below your true worth to build
the capacity necessary to maintain that level. You must know how to retain
wealth; strong men retain wealth – Proverbs 11:16
Like prosperity, there are 5 levels of
investments: spiritual, mental, physical, financial (and relational).
In the Kingdom, we have an advantage – the
prophetic dimension of wealth. 2 Chronicles 20:20-25
God has built an advantage in the economy for
the saints in the light. The prophetic dimension of wealth is not a license for
laziness, it is a system of advantage incorporated in God’s economy to prove to
creation that there is a God that backs the saints.
Hosea 12:13, 2 Kings 7:1
There are times when your fishing will not
bring fish; this has nothing to do with your nets or skill; it is because there
are powers that can stop the fish from coming. At such times, you need the
prophetic advantage in addition to business acumen.
Luke 5:1-5
There is a “nevertheless” in the equation
of the believer. When the prophetic ministry is administered within the
boundaries of Scriptures and balanced by the principles mentioned above, it can
work wonders in a man’s life. There is something called “prepared blessing” in
the Kingdom.
WHAT THEN IS THE POWER TO GET WEALTH?
1.
The power to get wealth is an engracing by the
Holy Spirit upon an individual or an organization that attracts to the life of
the individual; people, opportunities and resources.
2.
An empowerment upon an individual or an
organization to provide extraordinary solutions to the needs of men, leading to
all kinds of rewards; principally financial rewards (including power, influence,
honor etc).
Matthew 10:41
The prophetic advantage comes into the life
of a believer to lift and bless.
Two keys that provoke the operation of the
prophetic:
a.
Honor: to God and the prophetic vessel that speaks
over your life.
b.
The Power of Sacrifice: Psalm 50:2. It takes a
sacrifice to end cycles. When God wanted many sons, He buried His own son. (Psalm
126:6). There are times when under divine instruction, both the seed and bread
can go; casting the bread upon many waters. (Ecclesiastes 11:1-2).
