Honour Your Father

Dear friend,

If for any reason whatsoever your father disowns you, do not be alarmed.

Go out into the world and whatever good thing your hands find to do, do it well; do it so well that you excel and stand out among others.

Go ahead remembering all the things your father taught you, make yourself proud and make your father proud until he proudly calls you, SON.

& as you excel and advance in life remember to ...

HONOUR YOUR FATHER.

Note To Self.

Fellow apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers who have been called to perfect the saints for the work of ministry, are we true to our calling to perfect them or we have veered of to imperfect them, consciously or unconsciously?

Have we become like the world's leaders who are mostly feared rather than loved by their people?

God wants to do so much through us and bless as many lives as possible through us but if we don't change from our wicked ways, he won't quench our lights but he will definitely raise new people who will have their lights shine brighter, people who are not in ministry for fame or for gain; people who will be loved rather than feared.....

We have foolishly surrounded ourselves with "YES " men who say and do only what we want but not what God wants; ABOMINATION UNTO GOD.

Let's change our ways now, nurture and love the people God has put into our TRUST; build love instead of fear;  perfecting saints rather than doing otherwise; helping the saints get rid of their imperfections and struggles instead of making them worse; loving them, helping marriages to stay strong, feeding and teaching to feed themselves, acknowledging that we are not God and we can NEVER be God and loving people just like God loves them regardless of their imperfections.

The Spirit of the Lord is talking and those who have ears to hear, let them hear.

We have been warned.

How Christian Billionaires Have Sown Their Seeds.

A wise farmer knows that his harvest will always come from the seeds he plants in his own farm. From his harvest, he first sets asides seeds to plant for the next planting season, then he sells some, eats some and gives some out to those in need. A wise farmer knows that whatsoever he plants, he must surely reap.  Only a lazy farmer would expect his harvest to come from the seeds he eats, sells or gives to someone in need.

A farmer will be rewarded from every seed he eats, that which he sells and that which he gives out to someone in need but he always knows that his harvest will only and always come from the seeds he plants.

In terms of money, it is the same as money is a seed which produces a multiplied harvest of the same when planted in the right soil.

To plant money means to invest money. The world's wealthiest chirstians are not just givers but they are investors of money. They thereafter give heavily from the multiplied seed harvest of their money.

1. Tyler Perry. Planted in Tyler Perry Studios. Networth: $400 million.
2. Cher Wang & Wenchi Chen. Planted in HTC Corporation. Networth: $8.8 billion.
3. Strive Masiyiwa. Planted in Econet Wireless. Networth: $1.4 billion.
4. David Green. Planted in Hobby Lobby. Networth: $5.6 billion.
5. Do Won Chang & Jin Sook Chang. Planted in Forever 21. Networth: $5.4 billion.
6. Folorunsho Alakija. Planted in Rose of Sharon and Famfa Oil. Networth: $2.1 billion.
7. Yomi Faneye. Planted in Bootstrap and another Undisclosed brand. Networth: Undisclosed

In conclusion, I want to encourage us all that as we give seeds, eat seeds, we must most importantly plant in our own farms because that is where the true harvest comes from.

Eat and Give but most importantly INVEST.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

Giving Is Not Sowing Part 2.

May God give us eyes to see and understand.

"2 Corinthians 9:6-7 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver."

That scripture talks about sowing and reaping and it also talks about how it affects giving.

You SOW small and you REAP small so therefore you GIVE from your small harvest.

You SOW big and you REAP big therefore you GIVE from your big harvest.

The very same way Cain and Abel sowed, Cain being a tiller of the ground and Abel being a keeper of sheep and they REAPED a harvest after which they GAVE offerings out of their harvest.

Scriptures talk about the relationship between sowing and reaping and how it affects giving.

Alas, we have thrown away the very importance of sowing and declared that giving is equal to sowing. Ignorance gone on rampage.

Sowing comes before Giving. You SOW, you REAP then you GIVE.

#givingISNOTsowing

Giving Is Not Sowing

Abel was a keeper of sheep; Cain was a tiller of the ground. They both sowed and reaped after which they gave offerings. #givingISNOTsowing

Noah gave offerings out of what he had; not in order to have. He gave from an existing harvest. You sow, reap then GIVE. #givingISNOTsowing

Abraham gave a tithe out of an existing harvest, albeit not his own. He DID NOT tithe in order to get a harvest. #givingISNOTsowing

Abraham was ready to give Isaac as offering; eventually gave a ram as an offering. In both instances he first received. #givingISNOTsowing

Jacob gave offerings to God out of what he already had. Every single offering he gave he first received in a harvest. #givingISNOTsowing

Moses said to Pharaoh, "You must also give us sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God. #givingISNOTsowing

Jethro, Moses' father-in-law took a burnt offering and offered sacrifices to God out of what he already had. #givingISNOTsowing

Every person who gave an offering first received it. The process was set up at creation & NOTHING can change it. #givingISNOTsowing

Be fruitful (SOW), Multiply(REAP), Replenish the earth(GIVE). Without this you can't subdue the earth or have dominion. #givingISNOTsowing

The more we teach that giving is sowing the more we make people poorer. When we teach people right EVERYBODY wins. #givingISNOTsowing

Sacrificial Giving: The Cain & Abel Story.

Cain and Abel both sowed and reaped and from their harvests gave offerings to God.

Why was God happy with Abel and unhappy with Cain? Abel gave sacrificially; as an act of worship from his harvest and in total surrender.

On the other hand, Cain did not give sacrificially because he wanted something back from God. Sacrificial giving expects NOTHING in return. When Cain saw that God was unhappy with his offering, his countenance fell because his heart was not pure; he simply should have gone back to give God a better offering but instead chose to murder his own brother.

NOTE: They both sowed and reaped; Cain a tiller of the ground, Abel a livestock farmer. It was from their harvest that they gave offerings.

God is our provider and we must always expect Him to play His part of being a provider at all times for the sole and simple reason that HE IS GOD and he Has given us His word about the things He will do and give us in our lives. However, when we give it must be an act of faith and worship and should not be connected to our expectations of God.

If you can still tie and connect an open door or God's blessing to some seed you have sown, money you have given, help you have rendered or anything whatsoever on the face of this earth that you could have done to deserve or make this thing happen, you are only still scratching the surface of the things God is able to do in your life.

When God shows up, when He opens a door, when His hand is upon you, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, your lips of clay or your heart of flesh will NEVER be able to utter or phantom that it happened because of something you did or something you may have done.

Lailai!

NEVER!

1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Isaiah 64:4
For since the beginning of the world
Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.

Ephesians 3:20
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.
Amen.

LET THE CHURCH BE WARNED

Elijah was sent to a specific widow and not to all widows even though there were numerous widows in Zarepath.

We need to STOP misleading people with these financial gimmicks in order to raise money for the local church. Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin tried to correct this error in the body of Christ before going home to be with the Lord.

LET THE CHURCH BE WARNED.

We need to desist from this error and stop making a doctrine out of it.

TO HIM THAT HAS EARS TO HEAR; HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS SAYING.

A Word to the Men

Ok.

I want to talk to the men. Married and Single men.

A thought goes through my head this morning and I'm wondering, "Why on earth are there many single men and single women in church?" Why does it seem the single church girls end up marrying a "bad" boy who doesn't do church?" Why do the church girls find the church boys unattractive? I might not be able to answer these questions to the detail but I would like to talk to my fellow church boys...UP YOUR GAME MEN!

It seems we have mastered the art of sharing scriptures but are clueless about wooing a lady...

Every woman...in fact, every human being yearns for some intimacy...some physical touch...some romance...

She needs to feel swept off her feet mehn, so as you share them scriptures...take her out on a date...whisper into her ear and tell her sweet words...paint a picture of a future together that she desires...touch her...YES I SAID IT...TOUCH THE WOMAN KWA...hold her hands...put a hand on her shoulder...pretend to dust off something off her face...***winks***

Kilode...that's exactly what happens when she meets that bad boy who don't come to church...he tells her sweet things...he paints a picture of a future (even if na lie)...HE TOUCHES HER KWA...

Next thing, she be feeling good and she be thinking of this dude all day and all night...and then she be considering spending a lifetime with him simply because...HE MAKES HER FEEL DAMN GOOD...(pardon my french!)

LOL...

So my brothers in Christ, this is what I would have you do as this year winds up and we approach a New Year...

Is there a sister you like in church???

Oh Boy you need to make that sister feel good and you just might be on your way to a lifetime together forever...hahahaha

Brother, you need to get a job and make some cash...take her out to a movie...dinner...stroll and get some ice-cream...make her laugh...make her look forward to seeing you again and again and again...MAKE HER FEEL GOOD...!!!

Be BOLD...ask that sister out...what's the worst that could happen??? She's either gonna say YES or NO!

KEEP KEEPING ON AND GET THAT WOMAN MEHN!

I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ahead.

Cheers.

The Truth on Tithes & Offerings Part 3. Written by Ronald Robey

The tithe under the Law was different from the tithe that Abram had given before the Law. Abram tithed spoils of war, the Law required agricultural produce and livestock.

The tithe under the Law was not given to the Priests of Israel, it was given to the Levites. Nehemiah 10:37-38 reveal that the Priests had to be with the Levites when the Levites received the tithe from the children of Israel.

The Levite, in turn was to take a tithe of the tithe to the House of God. The children of Israel did not tithe to the house of God, they took their tithe to the Levites in their cities.

It was not the children of Israel who had robbed God in Malachi 3. No, it was the Priests of the Temple who had robbed Him.

I encourage you to read the entire book of Malachi. It is only four chapters. But, notice Malachi 2:1.

"And now, O ye Priests, this commandment is for you."

What commandment is God speaking of through Malachi the Prophet? There is no commandment at all in Malachi 2.

It is not until you get to Malachi 3:7 that you find a commandment....

"Return unto me". Return? How? "Will a Man Rob God?" How have we robbed you? "In tithes and offerings. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse..."

God was speaking to the Priests. They had robbed Him. The children of Israel had not robbed Him. They had done their part. They took the tithes as instructed in Nehemiah 10 to the Levites.

The Levites had done their part. They had taken the tithe of the tithe to the Temple. But Nehemiah reveals that the Priests had robbed God. They removed the tithes from the Temple chambers. Read Nehemiah 13:1-12.

Eliashib, the High Priest, removed the tithes from the chambers and moved God's enemy Tobiah the Ammonite in. What he did with those tithes we do not know.

However, God wanted them back. Nehiamiah instructed the tithes be brought back because the Levites were not getting the portion that was due them at the Temple during their work there. They were not being sustained through the tithes that they had brought to the Temple with them because the tithes had been stolen by the Priests.

Judah, a Levite, went out into Jerusalem and Israel to collect tithes. Now, the people had already given their tithes to the Levites previously. But here was the Levite collecting tithes a second time. The people were being robbed! They had given their tithes and now were expected to give more.

Judah brought the tithes he collected to the Temple chambers. But this was not the tithe that had been stolen from the chambers. This was tithes that were taken from the people to replace the stolen tithes. God's stolen tithes were still missing.

And God wanted them back. Hence, the commandment and subsequent instruction in Malachi 3. The Priests who had stolen the tithe were to bring the tithe back. The Priests were guilty of robbing God by removing the tithes, and the people were robbed by having to pay a second tithe that year.

What I Found About Making Money In The Bible

I hated being broke and poor; I hated going hungry for days. I was born-again and went to church regularly. I knew scriptures and was learning more daily. I was taught to give if I wanted to have so I gave as much as I could. The teaching was right but I felt it was INCOMPLETE. I needed to do my own search & research; I needed answers and OH! YES I GOT ANSWERS.

I stopped being broke and poor and I now eat to satisfaction when hungry. I am still born-again and I still go to church regularly. I am hungrier for God and His WORD than I've ever been. I desire to give more but I found I can't give what I don't have.

Here are a few things I found out in my study:

1. God created man in His image on the 6th day; male and female He created them. Man was created on the 6th day AFTER the trees and plants had been created on the 3rd day.
Genesis 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
2. Man was created but man did not have a form; man was not yet a living being. Man was a spirit that was inside God just like all of creation. However, man was formed and became a living being thereafter and man was formed BEFORE the trees, plants and even the animals.
Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

I found out that God created man with the words He spoke but formed man from the dust of the ground. They taught us RIGHTLY but often times INCOMPLETELY to speak forth our MONEY in order to CREATE it but if we truly are created in God's image and likeness, we need to complete the process like God did by giving FORM to money. We have often CREATED with our words but only few have learnt how to give FORM through the WORK of their hands.

As I studied further, I found a teaching of Jesus on the subject of money.

Luke 19:11-27
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

I found 7 points in this teaching that has helped me tremendously on the subject of having money.

1. He gave money to ten of his servants to multiply by trading before he returned from his journey.
2. His citizens hated him because they disagreed with him.
3. When he returned he called the servants he had given money to know how much each had gained by trading.
4. A servant multiplied one pound to ten pounds and the master said to him "Well, thou good servant:because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities."
5. A second servant multiplid one pound to five "And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
6. A third servant refused to multiply and he was called "WICKED".
7. The money was collected from the wicked servant who refused to multiply his one pound and given to the servant with ten pounds.

You can not give what you don't have; If you want to give more you've got to have more.

In summary, whether we agree or not the money will always be collected from those of us who refuse to multiply it and be given to those of us that multiply it therefore SPEAK & CREATE with your words in agreement with the word of God but afterwards...

TAKE ACTION!

TRADE!!

MULTIPLY!!!

God Bless You.
