Look-am transferring a powerful spiritual principle and mentality to you. It is not a mentality of irresponsibility. It is a superior advantage we have in this kingdom, that GOD- alias the giver can play humans like chess from heaven to you and they don't know you but they will feed you- what did scripture say in Isaiah 61:5-“ Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will be your ploughmen and vinedressers .”
Strangers shall feed your flock that’s why my bible says- see eeerh- If you don't believe what am teaching you, sooner or later life will whip you. You will see how limited your so called platforms for giving and receiving are. It is God who gives but he uses humans, and If all you have is money, you are truly poor, you are in trouble; and I pity you.
It is the lord that grants TRUE RICHES without sorrows. The Bible mentions TRUE RICHES thus indicating the existence of FALSE RICHES. Much of what the world considers riches simply serves as a veil for true poverty. While on earth, the Lord appeared to be the poorest of the poor, all the while being the One who owned all things- (Matthew 8:20). The believers at Smyrna appeared to be poor, but the Lord unflinchingly stated that they were in fact rich (Revelation 2:8-9).
The opposite was said of those in Laodicea. Although they claimed to be rich, the Bible states the reality: they were poor (Revelation 3:14-17). This truth is confirmed in Proverbs 13:7- when the Bible says, “ There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches .”
There are 7 THINGS that come together to make TRUE RICHES. And money is a product of true riches. .. Just like money can buy you a cold drink of water, there is something that can also bring money... and that thing is TRUE RICHES. And hear me when I tell you that you are only wealthy when you have TRUE RICHES.
· WISDOM is one of the things that brings true riches. Wisdom is the ability to correctly engage the mysteries of the kingdom and use the Word to produce supernatural results. (Proverbs 8:1-32)Should I go on with the list?
· ACCESS TO THE VOICE OF GOD is the second thing that brings true riches. (The Hearing Ear) The hearing ear is a gift granted to you by God. Your entire spiritual investment can crash in a day if you don’t possess this gift.Should I tell you more-
· GENUINE TRANSFORMATION of the MIND is the third, that is why Jesus will spend 3 and half years teaching and working on the mind-set of his disciples and Paul will keep screaming by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit- “ Renew your mind ooo tom ..”
· The fourth is FAVOUR...
· another is RELATIONSHIPS, relationships can pay for everything money cannot buy... If all you have is access to financial resources without relationships you are poor, not everything opens to finances, some open to relationships.. Should I continue with the others- anyway I will keep them in my pocket till I run a “how to be truly rich conference...”
So take a look at the protocol order, before we got here- we started from " Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come as your will is being done " - then we now pray- give us this day-
Most of us when we start to pray we jump right to give us this day- let me tell you how many people pray, especially in my part of the world. They just come in with a very quick preamble: example- God of Jacob, Elijah, Samuel, we give you thanks etc. they don't even know what they saying, it's just an introduction to get things out of the way… for the great ask...
And you know most of our prayers are pathetic, full of wise sayings and sympathetic talks, and they don’t produce power- example - oh Lord you are in heaven is it that you are not – why am I…etc
We need to learn how to pray. Jesus is mentoring us here and he is saying after praying “ Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come as your will is being done, then now you can pray - give us this day, because the truth is that if you take the preceding part of this prayer seriously- you will not " get to give us this day " - before you get there, God will provide-
Isn’t it amazing that God is so caring that he is concerned about your daily bread, not weekly ooh daily bread , I mean, the best that most governments can give you is monthly, but here he is ready to load you with benefits daily, a daily dimension of benevolence you must be aware of that-, it means if day to day you are being robbed of your supply, you have a right to know something is going on, because God is a covenant keeping God and he is faithful to ensure that there is an allocation, he proved this when he sent the bread of angels from heaven- “ Human beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat ”- Psalm 78:25.
I hope you know bread is already processed from the raw material got from the farm. – That means there are times that God will make your farm (work of your hands) to produce well.
There are times he knows that you do not need crops but you need bread so he will convert into bread and give you directly, there are times God can give you ideas and then you grow the idea through 3-4-5 years to a great business but there are times you need, money directly –
So for example - now, as a matter of urgency- you don't need any advice you -need an intervention, the urgency of the situation will not allow you to possess any idea and make mistakes and you just need bread directly, he can give both grace and favour to your farm and direct bread to your hands.
Give us this day, it is a revelation, give us this day, Lord I need to pay my hospital bills. God, I thank you for the business idea, I will look at it carefully when my bills are settled but for now, I have two days to settle this- giving me an idea is wonderful but it takes times to build – so give me today my bread allocation. Give us this day.
Not give me this week, this month, give me this day, he understands the power for the value of time, all times don't allow all things to happen, there are times that if you do not act fast, if you cannot capture certain things in a moment it may never come back again- hence the prayer - give us this day .
God is caring enough to allow that your needs be met daily, sometimes we think that the prayer that cries that our needs be met is- CARNAL and all of that- there is nothing carnal about asking for your needs. And sometimes in an attempt to prioritise the kingdom, in an attempt to show that we love God, and we seek to see his kingdom come- we are ashamed and afraid to talk about our needs.
Be bold- there is a provision for your needs that's why he said "ask and you will be given" - and When he responds to you, thank God for everything and say as I do this I remain focused, but I pray that my needs be met, I want to see the fees of my children paid, I also want to rise and grow- etc.
TO BE CONTINUED....
Shalom and God bless you
