The Blessed life Two systems at work

“The blessed life, Life as God intended”

Greetings once again I trust you have found great blessing in these blog that I have posted as much as I have found joy in doing them. I have been a Pastor for many years now and it has always been my desire to be able to help believers walk in the quality of life that God intended for them. In my early years of ministry I was taught that to understand the Bible you need to look at these three simple phrases. “What was Gods original intent, What went wrong and what did God do to rectify that” This was so powerful for me coming from a background that believed the ways of God are mysterious and past finding out. This introduced me to a God who was personal and up close. A God who is interested in what I eat, what I wear, where I live who is my friend and so on.

As I began to walk in this revelation I began to realize that God not only wants me to answer these questions but wants me to ask another key question for every believer, “How can I make the Word of God a reality in my life” God can want to bless me, heal me, prosper me and use me, but if I am ignorant of that I limit myself in what I can enjoy. The Bible says in Psalms 78 vs. 41 They tested God again and again and provoked the Holy One of Israel. The Kings James says the Limited the Holy one of Israel. God is a great and awesome God but we can limit what He does in our lives, by fear, doubt and unbelief. We also limit God by slackness, laziness, compromise, ignorance and wrong associations.

I am always amazed at the context that God mentions the Promised Land when he speaks to the children of Israel through Moses it is always the Land that I have given to you. The land was theirs and they were slack in possessing it look at this scripture.
Joshua 18 vs. 1-3. Then the whole congregation of the people of Israel assembled at Shiloh and set up the tent of meeting there. The land lay subdued before them. 2 There remained among the people of Israel seven tribes whose inheritance had not yet been apportioned. 3 So Joshua said to the people of Israel, “How long will you put off going in to take possession of the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?

Part b of verse 3 talks about how the children of Israel were putting of the possession of the and that God had already given to them. Wow that sounds like us so many times, God has given us the land, the favor the grace, the provision but we a slack (King James version) to take it. Can I say this as loud as I can to you child of God? There are many people waiting for God to fulfill His Word in their lives when God is waiting for us to take possession of what He has given you.

Not walking in the reality of the Blessed life, Life as God intended it is not God’s fault it’s your fault. You need to make some adjustments and begin to move towards that which God has given you. God went on to tell the Children of Israel choose men to go and look at the Land and map it out according to Moses’ words and that was the break point for the rest of the seven tribes that had not taken their land. Note they were living on someone else’s land. We have many believers that are lodging on some one else’s blessing.

Lets quickly look at an amazing case study of Terah (Abrams father) and Abram and how God planned it out to take them to their blessed place and how God fulfilled his plan generationally. Read this passage of scripture that will be our text for our lesson today.

Genesis 11 vs. 31 Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan, but when they came to Haran, they settled there. 32 The days of Terah were 205 years, and Terah died in Haran. 

You will note that the chapter begins with the story of the tower of Babel where man tried to bless himself. In verse 4-5 they said come and let us build a tower… and let us make a name for ourselves… God was not happy with this plan as He came changed their languages and different people groups were birthed and went in different directions. The Bible then gives us a linear genealogy Shem’s descendants. I will not bore you too much with the details as I know some of us do not like these genealogies but there are amazing lesson to learn.

It appears something could have happened in the that prompted Terah the son of Nahor to move out of Ur of the Chaldeans (Babylon) This name is taken from a word which means confuse, mix to mingle. This name is used in reference to man attempt to dethrone God and make himself the lord of the earth. But God seems to move n Terah’ heart to move out of there and go to Canaan the place of promise. Canaan was named after Canaan the son of Ham Noah’s son. But on his way there Terah decided to settle in Harran (remember Harran was the late son of Terah) We often settle in a place where we are comfortable and we do not pursue what is in our heart. When Terah left with his son and his sons wife and his orphaned grandson lot it was with the intention of going to Canaan not Haran but he settled there for whatever reason.

Then look what happens God speaks to Abram and says get out of here, your blessing is not here it is in Canaan. Leave your father and family that has shaped your paradigms and go to a land I will show you. I will bless you and I will make your name great. Not the greatness that was attempted at Babel (place of confusion and secular humanism) but this is a blessing that comes from me. After I am done with you I will make you a blessing to the nations (families of the earth). Please note what God is doing here He is separating the worlds way of doing things and His way of doing things. If you will build a business, family, life, ministry or career that will impact the world you need to be in Babylon and its system or way of doing things or you need to be in Abraham and Gods way of doing things.

I know this is a bit much to handle but look carefully at chapter 11 and 12 you will see awesome things. Both Babylon and Abraham became great in size and influence in fact when God wanted to teach the children of Israel a lesson of worshiping only the true living God He took into captivity in Babylon. So Abram got up and left and went to Canaan and God told him to your descendants will I give this land that you walk on. Later he told Isaac and Jacob I am giving your descendant this land when they came out of Egypt four hundred years later God said posses the land that I have given to your fathers.

What lesson do I want you to learn here?

1.    God has called you out of Babylon to a wealthy place do not stop half way
2.    God does not want you to settle in Haran He wants you in Canaan (Coming out of sin is not good enough come into blessing)
3.    There are two conflicting system that are operating use God system to walk into you blessing not the worlds system
4.    When you step into your place of blessing you will cause wealth to be transferred to you. Notice they were given Canaan where there were Canaanites living there. God told them the reason for the transfer, He said the Canaanites were evil and did detestable things that made God unhappy. SO God said to the Israelites don’t do what they do or else I will also move you out and they did what was wrong and God moved them out but He also restored them with another wealth transfer from the Babylonian system to help rebuild the temple and the nation.
5.    The blessing of Abraham was on condition that he moves out of a system of thinking that was contrary to God
6.    He had to walk on the land before God could sign the title deeds and say this is what I am giving you.
7.    When you obey God He calls it faith and He approves of you and releases more favor on your behalf and for your descendants.

Wow that was a mouthful, but look carefully at the working of God the Bible says these things were written for our example that we through them might learn and have hope. God wants to teach how to walk into you blessing and begin to live the blessed life, life as He intended it.

What do you need to walk out of? Your family does not have to define what God can do in your life. You business can operate in the principles of the Word of God and see great results. God bless you I hope I have provoked you to study further we will be building on this as we move forward.

Wealth transfer

Wealth transfer

In the last blog we spoke about wealth and the anointing that was a very strong Word from the Lord. Thank you for the responses that I am getting from all the people that are following the Blog. I appreciate all the encouraging comments that are being posted to my inbox thank you for the feedback. In this study we want to focus of Wealth transfer. A lot of great teachings have been done in this regards and I recommend that believers become familier with the principles that go along with wealth transfers. So take some time to study this and get ready for what God is doing in your life.
 

Proverbs 13 vs. 22

Wealth will find its way progressively into the hands of the saints (Amplified)(that are trained and equipped in the agenda of God)

Can I prefix my teaching with a quick encouragement that god is not going to do anything; He has already done some He is waiting for us to move and take what is available. Don’t wait for God to do something God is waiting on the church to get out of slackness into doing stuff that will bring the reality of the promise. We are called to colonize the earth and establish Gods kingdom (read Luke 19 vs. 11-27) we cannot be in charge without money. The one with the gold calls the shots. So part of Gods plan of bringing the gospel to the world is by transferring money into your account so you can do kingdom business.

Have a change of heart, when you obey the Word of God you create an atmosphere that makes things happen. When you receive a Word the atmosphere around you begins to call the necessary resources to gather around you to make that Word a reality (Genesis 1 26-28 They were blessed when the word was released and all they needed began t move to them)

My sister recently released a beautiful album that is ministering to many people. She has had the dream for over 14 years and we were encouraging her to pursue the project, she was waiting for the resources to come. But she eventually decided I am going for it money or no money. As she began to walk towards the assignment and believe the Word of God and the prophetic utterance the money began to come one step at a time. Begin to move and see what God will do.
It is Gods will for the righteous to control the wealth of the world (Proverbs 22 vs. 7)
Principle; The one who controls the wealth controls the world
God has no problem with us having great wealth a long as we are kingdom stewards, God cannot afford to have you broke, he wants faithful stewards.
What is a steward? 
Oikonomos 
Thayer Definition: 

1) The manager of household or of household affairs 
1a) Especially a steward, manager, superintendent (whether freeborn as was usually the case, a freed-man or a slave) to whom the head of the house or proprietor has entrusted the management of his affairs, the care of receipts and expenditures, and the duty of dealing out the proper portion to every servant and even to the children not yet of age 
1b) The manager of a farm or landed estate, an overseer 
1c) The superintendent of the city’s finances, the treasurer of a city (or of treasurers or questors of kings) 

What is wealth transference?
We should not be pursuing money we should be pursued by money as we have the wealth of God operating in us. Wealth transfer is when resources begin to flow through created channels into the account of Kingdom financiers.
Wealth= abundance of valuable resources
Psalm 66 vs12 (Fertile, moist, rich)
Genesis 28 vs. 10-22
Genesis 30 vs. 25-43

God will give you a creative concept that will become the open door to your wealthy place. The wealth anointing will prompt Holy Ghost thoughts and ideas in your mind when you focus on them through prayer and meditation they grow to become powerful wealth generating ideas; Wealth creates wealth. It produces after its own kind
Principle; All things produce after their kind

7 dimensions of the blessed life
We established Genesis 1 vs. 26-28
God blessed man; this truth must be established in your heart. As a man thinks in his heart so is he
Blessing= power, enablement, capacity to fulfill a set task. It is the pronouncing of a favorable word that produces a desired reality. A benediction, speaking forth and impartation of a good, desired and favorable outcome
 

Adam and Eve became successful and prosperous at the release of the Words of blessing spoken by God. Man was blessed in the totality of his being
 

When man was blessed he became wealthy in these 7 areas
1. Wisdom is wealth Proverbs (Proverbs 24 vs. 3-7)
Principle; People are poor because of two primary reasons 1. Foolishness 2. Laziness
Wisdom is for directors, leaders and rulers. Get wisdom
Wisdom is the seeing the how to get to where you want to go
 

2. Vision is wealth. Habakkuk 2
Vision is when God gives you a picture of the future
When God gives you vision He gives you capital (wealth).
Principle; Joseph had favor because he could be trusted (He had a vision) His brothers could not be trusted
Can God trust you with wealth? If God can trust you He will give you purpose (vision) hence you have wealth
Proverbs 29 vs. 18 where there is no......
When there is a vision in you there is no challenge that can stop you
 

3. Information knowledge and understanding
Information is when knowledge gets into you and you and transforms your form. You become some one else

We are living in the age of information and knowledge. You need to know some that makes you stand out.

4. Reputation. A good name
Have a good name, good character
Proverbs 22 vs. 1
 

5. Relationships
Who you know is key to success. Be selective about the people you are in relationship with. Man I could write a book on this. But remember the principles we shared in a previous blog on welath is created in communities

Carry some charisma (A smearing of grace)
Principal; Wealth is created in communities

6. Property and physical assets
Buy land and real estate
Make friends with people in authority and get things to flow to you. (Alliances)
 

7. Money
Money is the evaluating tool that helps us to quantify the other six
Prepare yourself
 

Start making life-changing decisions now, your paradigms are important
God sends power people into your life to deposit wealth into your life
Principal; Wealth does not flow to poverty (it will be wasted)

We need to discuss these last two in more depth in the next blog.

When you sit in the presence of greatness find out what is in their hearts and heads. Learn and grow (take notes) The transfer of wisdom knowledge and that empowers you
 

Prayer does not bring wealth but it produces revelation vision and insight and that produces wealth
In the Bible there are 21 major wealth transfers and 7 minor wealth transfer (Perhaps we will list them in the next blog and study how some of them happened like the one mentioned above in Genesis the story of Jacob and Laban {See the Laban principle blog})
 

3 things that happen in a wealth transfer
1. Transfer of gifted people. These people are going to show up my life. Luke (they ministered to him with their substance)
Principal; There are some great people that are coming into my life
Principal; We must have the capacity to hold the wealth when it comes
The great people will give you the capacity to hold and harness the wealth
To build a great church God will send great people to you that will carry the vision with you
I have to have the ability to handle great people

2. The ability to acquire real estate and assets
Assets don't just come you have to go and get it, do something about it (Take steps)
If you cannot give it you cannot get it
 

3. Money will be transferred into your life
You have to have more than one revenue stream (A means/channel with which God will cause resources to come to you)
An anointing imparted without understanding will come and wait for a while and it will move on. Understanding will cause impartations to bring fruit
 

Because you are a partner with this anointing God will transfer wealth into your hands so you can establish His covenant and He can establish His. God bless you anointed wealth creator.

I love you very much and it is my prayer that you exerience financial revival in your life.

In all your getting get understanding
