Sermon Note
Pastor Prince
Go full time into ministering the gospel of Jesus Christ. If God call you, don’t step down. Other things will step down.
God wants mankind to be saved
That is why there is a move of God.
God is working mightily. If you want to see what God is doing, see what the devil is doing and opposite it.
Things that are not seen are eternal. Things that are seen are not eternal.
In kingdom of God there is no lack
That which can be seen and visible are temporal.
God is restoring truth to the church
There was a time great grace was upon them all.
Acts 4:33-34
And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
Where there is great power there was great grace.
Great grace
Great power
There is no want for them who fear Him
The righteous are righteous because of faith.
Hallo means holy. Not halloween.
Justification by faith
Healing is available for us today
Provision and prosperity is for us today
I am against selfishness
Love of money
Greed
Covet
We are talking about prosperity with a purpose
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God
Romans 10:14-15
Israel Rejects the Gospel
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
How shall we hear without the preacher!
How can they be sent unless there is money? The devil don’t want God’s people to have more than enough.
God can get through us and to us.
The devil is so afraid church is in health. We are in health and we can go and preach the gospel.
Money is a tool.
Bible prosperity includes money.
Bible prosperity is more than just money.
There are abuses. Abuses are those who preach nothing but money.
When God gave Israel, not when they were slaves.
There were 10 plagues. God gave them favour with the Egyptians
For 400 years Israel slaved for Egyptians with no pay.
Those brothers and sisters who were cheated of, the transfer of wealth happens on the last days.
Transfer of wealth into our hands!
The purpose was to go out of Egypt to build God’s house.
When we lay up with plans of God’s purpose we are in line.
Very soon we are out of this Egypt, we will be with Jesus face to face.
We will never feel bored forever
Gold is a tool
Jesus Himself said if we know how to give good things to our children, how much our Father give good things to those who ask Him?
Do you want your child to prosper?
We still need to provide for our families and we trust God for our provision. Trust God’s way!
Give and it will be given to you!
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Thank God we are believing God and not what some others.
It is He who gives us power to get wealth
The covenant of grace! The gospel of Jesus Christ !
Deuteronomy 8:18
“And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
The power to create wealth and prosper us
Healing all that was oppressed by the devil.
Sickness is of devil.
Gospel does produce health
Many schools and hospitals started by Christians.
By all means do we run after these things. We run after Jesus
Free favour of God profusely abounds.
The chip on forehead only happen after we are raptured.
We will never fall sick and die again
Gold and silver is not evil. Heaven is full of all these.
It is how we use them.
Prosperity with a purpose.
When He comes again, there is judgement. We will come with Him
Luke 4:24-30
Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”
So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.
We are entering into a great famine.
Israel was experiencing great famine.
Region of Sidon
She gave him the bread (cake) first
The jug of flour never ceased during the great famine
He sent Elijah to a woman who came from a city of Sidon
It is called grace
God gives grace to people who don’t deserve at all.
This woman was not part of the chosen nation back then.
Many lepers in the time of Israel
And none of them was cleansed. The Syrians was cleansed.
God sent Elijah to heal Naaman, the Syrian
Elijah asked Naaman to baptise himself 7 times at River Jordan
When he came out, his skin was like a little child.
God’s instruction always require humility.
Grace still make religious people angry.
They are not part of God’s chosen people and yet they received healing and provision. The message of grace still cause anger to raise up.
One is provision
One is health
These 2 examples show health and wealth
Watch out that we don’t fall unto greed
God’s blessing is He will bless us and we will be a blessing.
Health and wealth
Psalms 23:1
The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want. (haser – lack)
To life!
(ר :To supply for himself – lack)
Life supply comes from head – lack
John 10:9
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
Life supply by our head
Or
Life supply through the door!
Our life is not supported by our head
Is supported by the door
If you are a stingy person, you have an evil eye
Luke 11:33-36
The Lamp of the Body
(Matt. 6:22, 23)
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
Those who have prosperity with a purpose in mind, your full body is full of light
Proverbs 28:22
A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,
And does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
Our trust is in God not in our boss.
Our trust is on the true Source, God Himself
We work to express the talents God gives us.
We must believe the things we are doing seems insignificant but when we do for Him we receive the reward
Don’t be hasty
Don’t be greedy
Deuteronomy 15:9
Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the LORD against you, and it become sin among you.
Your eye be evil
We go by faith trusting God’s goodness
Matthew 20:13-15
But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’
Are you stingy because I am generous
They did not trust Him and put everything in writing.
The last hours trusted Him. We are the last hours
Those who are full of grace are people who are generous
He who has generous eyes are to be blessed
Luke 11:33-36
The Lamp of the Body
(Matt. 6:22, 23)
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
Let your candle be lit.
Set our priorities
Be a testimony
When God gives us good success, it means we have time for our families
Our light is seen the most when we are put in church.
Don’t allow business to overwhelm you and rob you of time with God
Secret place ( cryptos )
Luke 11:33
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
Cryp means a place of the dead
When you are generous, your whole body is full of light
Luke 11:34
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
Prolong dayssssss
Those who come in see the light
Becoming rich is your only purpose, than you are on the wrong track.
The Lord provides for you
