4 Secrets to Power

Many of us have been wondering why we have not received the power after the Holy Ghost came upon us as promised in Acts 1:8. The answer is simple; we have taken only the first step towards power but not haven’t yet taken the subsequent steps towards power.

[Luke 4:1-2,13-15 KJV] “And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, [2] Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.”

[13] “And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. [14] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. [15] And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.”

The four simple steps to the power of the spirit are Baptism, yieldedness, faithfulness, and ministry. If you really want to walk in the corridors of power.

1. Be baptised
2. By yielded
3. Be faithful
4. Be on the go

The Bible teaches that we “shall receive power the Holy Ghost is come upon” us. The outpouring is the first step towards power. When you are baptised in the Holy Ghost, you receive the seed to power. You receive that seed that will lead to the birth of power.

The second secret is to be yielded to the Spirit. The Holy Ghost cannot empower a person who will not be yielded to His leading. Our Lord Jesus Christ was led by the Spirit, He followed the leading of the spirit, and stepped out in power. You also must be led by the Spirit if you want to walk in power.

The third secret is to be faithful. Our Lord Jesus Christ was led to the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. He was not led there to fast or pray. He was led there to be tempted. If you want superior power, then be faithful. Onto whomever you yield your members to, his slaves you are. You cannot overpower someone you serve.

[Romans 6:16 KJV] “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”

Finally, return and minister faithfully. Our Lord Jesus Christ returned and ministered faithfully in the temples and synagogues and markets. “He that is faithful in little shall be trusted with much”. I know that as you use the little that you have been given much shall be added to you.

You will surely walk in the corridors of power when you engage with these truths.

I love you!

The Ancient Secrets to Power and Wisdom

We shall be exploring ancient secrets to power and wisdom.

[fusion_text][Acts 2:42-47 KJV] “And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. [43] And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. [44] And all that believed were together, and had all things common; [45] And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. [46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, [47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved”.

Discussions

We have come to understand that we would bear fruits when we desire and pursue increasing empowerment and wisdom to run. As we gather for fellowship, we must strive to receive more power and wisdom.

We have learned that it is important for every generation of men to have a vision, but vision alone is not enough to make you fruitful. Vision shows you the full picture but wisdom reveals the steps that take you to that picture, and power is the force that drives you there. That is why it is important to explore the ancient secrets to power and wisdom. These ancient secrets are;

1. Family
2. Prayer,
3. Studying,
4. Fellowship,
5. Spirit meals,
6. The fear of the Lord,
7. Sacrifice

These are ancient secrets to power and wisdom.

1. Family:

The first ancient secret to power is to be born into a family. God puts us into families because He wants godly children. The devil’s greatest weapon is broken homes. When the home is broken, the children suffer the most. Most dysfunctional children come from dysfunctional homes. A family is a people bound by blood or creed. Families dwell together, but the secret to power is to dwell together in unity. It is like oil flowing from the head of Aaron to the skirt of his garment.

[1 Corinthians 7:13‭-‬14 KJV] “And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. [14] For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy”.

When we are born into families, we inherit the grace and wisdom of those families. Prince’s are born into royalty, but they are mentored and tutored into royalty.

2. Mentorship:

The second secret we must explore is studying; the Bible exhorts us to study to show ourselves approved as workmen who need not be ashamed. In Galatians 4, we learn that the child, although he is the heir of all, differs not from a servant, until he is put under tutors for a time. The Psalmist tells us that the testimonies of the Lord make him wiser.

[Psalms 119:99 KJV] “I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation”.

You may have been born with royal blood running but you must be mentored and tutored to become a true royal. A child left on his own will shall be destroyed.

3. Fellowship:

The Bible tells us that “Iron sharpens iron, so does the countenance of a man sharpens that of his neighbour”. Through fellowship, we are sharpened. One secret to Daniel’s power is fellowship. He maintained fellowship with his friends. Our Lord teaches us by example how He maintained fellowship with the Father daily. The secret to power in Adam’s life to have dominion was in his fellowship with God. God came to the garden daily to fellowship with men, but we lost authority when that fellowship was broken.

4. Spiritual Meals:

The fourth secret to power is eating spiritual meals. We can see this example in Moses, Elijah, Jesus, and the early church. Each of these men of faith were prayerful and studious. They maintained fellowship with God and others with a similar calling and purpose, they all ate spiritual meals. Moses ate the Passover, Elijah ate the meal an angel baked, Jesus Christ ate the Passover until he became the Passover Lamb. John 6 teaches that those who eat the bread of the body of Christ and drink the wine of His blood in remembrance of Him receive eternal life.

5. Prayer:

Luke 18 exhorts us to pray so that we don’t faint. Prayer increases your staying power, in the same way, prayer increases your understanding and wisdom. Jeremiah 33:3 says that God shows unsearchable things to those who call on Him. James also admonishes that those who lack wisdom should ask God for it.

6. Fear of the Father:

We know that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. In fact, Psalm 34 teaches that the angel of the Lord encamps about them that fear God.

[Psalms 34:7 KJV] “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them”.

7. Sacrifice:

The sixth secret to explore is the secret of sacrifice. This includes the sacrifice of praise which is the fruits of the lips, the sacrifice of our substance, and the sacrifice of our very lives which is a key to holiness. Sacrifice provokes Heaven to act.

I pray that you shall engage these ancient secrets to power and wisdom. You will have ever-increasing power and wisdom to bear fruits.

Stay blessed; I love you!

Activating the Resurrection Power

[Romans 8:11 KJV] “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you”.

If the Spirit of He that raise Christ from the dead dwells in you, then He that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you. One of the greatest benefits of having the Holy Spirit dwelling in you is the fact that He is the agent by which God quickens our mortal bodies. God is able to do more by His power that is at work in us.

[Ephesians 3:20 KJV] “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”

Simple steps to receive the indwelling of the Holy Ghost is by;

1. Soaking in the word by listening to podcast:

[Acts 10:44 KJV] “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.”

2. Laying on of hands:

[Acts 19:6 KJV] “And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.”

3. Spending time in prayer:

[Acts 4:31 KJV] “And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.”

You must strive to stir up the gift of God in you through prayer and fellowship. Stir it up by giving attendance to reading and to doctrine.

[2 Timothy 1:6‭-‬7 KJV] “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”.

Don’t leave your gift to lie dormant. Stir it up; work on it. We must learn to activate the resurrection power and trust God to quicken our mortal bodies to be actively and healthily involved in ministry and missions.

Stay blessed

Secrets to the Anointing

What is the secret to the anointing? I will share just a few;

1. The first secret to the anointing is fulfilling all righteousness:

The Lord Jesus received the Holy Ghost because He permitted John the Baptist to fulfill all righteousness. You can run off and arrogantly do what you want, but the secret to an enduring anointing is to fulfill all righteousness. There are some protocols provided for in Scripture and regarding your relationship with your apostle. God is not an author of confusion, He,  therefore, wants us to fulfill all righteousness. He will not ask you to do anything contrary to harmony and peace. (See Matthew 3:13-15)

2. The second secret to the anointing is waiting in seclusion or with people of like faith:

Be willing to wait in seclusion in either a mountain, wilderness or in an upper room.

In Exodus 34:29, 31-33, we learn that when Moses returned from the mountain after 40 days and nights, his face began to shine as the sun and Israel fled from him. Waiting in seclusion is important to the anointing. As we stay in the presence of the Lord, His nature and Spirit robs on us. When Moses stayed in the mountain for 40 days and nights in the mountain, he came back shining as the sun.

In Luke 4:1, 14, we learn that Our Lord Jesus waited in the wilderness; the Bible did not even clarify whether He prayed or not, but He endured and returned with power. As we wait, power will rub on us. Waiting is a master key to the anointing. That is why we must learn to spend hours upon hours in His presence.

Remember in Acts 2:1-10, the early church waited in the upper room and the Holy Ghost came in as a mighty rushing wind. The early church spent time praying, singing, and studying the word. They spent about 10 days in the upperroom just waiting.

Acts 4:23, 31-33 teaches us that as the early church gathered to pray, the place where they stood shook and they were filled with power.

3. Another secret to the anointing is faith, thirst, and yieldedness:

John 7:37-39, we learn that, “if any man thirst, let him come and drink”. The Bible teaches that those who believe shall recieve the Spirit – the promised Spirit (Galatians 3:1-5)

4. Another secret to the anointing is to repent and be baptised:

This is one of the first secrets and steps to the anointing that was shared by the early apostles of Christ. When the devout men that had gathered on the day of Pentecost asked what they should do? Apostle Peter answered quickly, “repent and be baptized, then you shall recieve the Holy Ghost”.

[Acts 2:37‭-‬39 KJV] “Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? (38) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (39) For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call”.

5. Love righteousness and hate iniquity:

When you love righteousness and hate iniquity, the Lord anoints you with the oil of joy far above your fellows. God anoints those who love righteousness and hate iniquity. Hebrews 1:9 KJV (Also in Psalm 45:7) teaches clearly that, “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.” The Lord anoints those who love righteousness and hate iniquity.

6. Sit and learn at the feet of an anointing person, teacher or prophet:

The words they speak are spirit and life. Remember, when apostle Peter went to the house of Cornelius, the Holy Ghost fell on the household as they listened to him testifying. Don’t just listen as listening to words but listen with your spirit. As the apostle Peter spoke to them the Holy Ghost feel on them. Acts 10:44‭-‬47 KJV tells us that, “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. (45)  And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. (46)  For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, (47)  Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?”

The Bible tells us that we recieve the Holy Ghost by the hearing by faith. The hearing of faith opens your spirit to recieve the anointing.

7. Be taught in the things of the Spirit and have hands laid on you:

When apostle Paul taught and laid hands on the men at Ephesus, they received the Holy Ghost and prayed in tongues and prophesied (See Acts 19:1-7). What you don’t know will keep you from what you can become. When you know, you know.

8. Relate and associate closely with the anointing:

Aside spending time in the presence of God, those who associate with the anointing and with the Holy Spirit closely get rubbed on. When Elisha related with Elijah, he caught the anointing on his life. Even merely reading books written by the anointed man can lead to a transferrance.

I believe with all my heart that God will anoint and empower us with His Spirit. You will not be the same as you engage these truths. May the person and presence of God begin to fill you. Be blessed!

I love you;

Wait for Power from On High

[Luke 24:46-53 KJV] “And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: [47] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. [48] And ye are witnesses of these things. [49] And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. [50] And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. [51] And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. [52] And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: [53] And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen”.

The Bible tells us that Christ suffered and rose again on the third day, so that repentance and the remission of sins shall be preached to all nations beginning from Jerusalem.

One key thing we need, however, to be able to preach and be effective with out attempt to reach the nations of the world is the anointing – the Holy Spirit.

The Bible tells us in Acts 1:8 that we shall recieve power (which the Lord said in Luke 24 that we should wait for) when the Holy Ghost comes upon us.

[Acts 1:8 KJV] “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”.

However, the Bible tells us in John 14, that the world cannot recieve this promised Spirit because they do not know Him. We can infer from this text that, not everybody can recieve the Holy Ghost. It means, therefore, that there are some conditions to recieving the Holy Ghost.

[John 14:17 KJV] “Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you”.

Inasmuch as there is so much work to be done in the harvest of souls and the preaching of the gospel of Christ, the mission cannot be fulfilled until we are endowed with power from on high. This is why Lord wanted the early church to wait on Him until they are endowed with power from on high.

The power of the Lord shall be poured upon us mightily as a rushing wind. We shall never wait and wait in vain. As wait on Him, He will come into us as the rushing of a mighty wind. Be blessed!

I love you;

Power to Live Godly in a Dark and Sinful World

[John 1:12-14 KJV] “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”.

The Bible tells us that it is impossible to live godly in this dark and sinful world without the power of God. And it also tells us that God gives power to those who believe in Him to be able to live godly in a dark and sinful world.

The three simple truth that will help each of us to live godly in this dark and sinful world are:

1. Admit the fact that we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God:

Admit that without the reception of fresh power, we cannot live a godly life in this crooked and perverse generation.

2. Acknowledge that the rewards and wages of continuing in our sinful and indulgent lifestyles is death:

The wages of sin is death. Many people are not striving to stop their lives of sin because they are ignorant of the repurssions of sin and indulgence.

3. Totally yield your will to the Lord’s control:

The Lord can never influence you until you have totally yielded to Him. To believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died and rose again to give us access to the grace of God. In fact, we have access to this grace by faith. We have to believe to recieve. Your faith gives you access to grace that empowers you for a godly life;

[Romans 5:1-2 KJV] “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: [2] By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God”.

I pray that you recieve the grace to live godly in this sinful and dark world. May you recieve the grace and power and truth to live godly in this sinful and dark world. You will not mess up your life. You will shine with glory and honour and dignity. Be blessed!

I love you;

The Manifestations of God

[John 4:19-24 KJV] “The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. [20] Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. [21] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. [22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. [23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”.

Many of us know the popular story of Jesus Christ and the woman of Samaria, of whom He asked for water by the well of Jacob, while His disciples went to buy food. We know that in the ensuing dialogue, the Lord stated clearly that God is a spirit, and that they that worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth. The Lord was also emphatic that the time is coming, and now is, that a man needs not go into a mountain to find God nor to a temple to see God. The Lord taught the woman that in this hour and time, men and women everywhere can both worship and see God wherever they are. There are simple secrets to move God to manifest Himself to the us.

We want to explore three things:

What is manifestation?Why should God manifest Himself?How can we move God to manifest Himself to us?

[Matthew 17:1-4 KJV] “And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, [2] And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. [3] And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. [4] Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias”.

We have learnt that manifestation is making an abstract concept tangible. Many of us cannot see air but we believe it exists because we see the manifestations of air. There is also air in a well ventilated room; we have no doubt of its existence when the air begins to move and push things down. When there is an hurricane in any place, none of us have doubts of its existence; you know why? We see the evidence of its manifestation. We see the debris, the wreckage, and the disaster.

I pray that as you go to work and relate with people the tangible manifestation of God in you will leave them with no doubt that God is real. I pray that you shall engage with these truths I am about to share and you will see the tangible manifestation of God in your life, so that you can declare with boldness that you serve a living God and Jesus Christ is His son. In a world of hate and disrespect and aggression, we can declare this word boldly only when the hand of God can clearly be seen (See Romans 1:4, Acts 4:29-31)

Also, seeing the manifestations of the Spirit will cause the faith of our hearers not to dwell in the wisdom of men but in the power of God (See 1 Corinthians 2:1-4).

Our hearers will not just belive because they heard but because they also saw. The men of Samaria said, “we believe not because of what you said but because we have also seen” (John 4:39).

[John 4:47-50 KJV] “When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. [48] Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. [49] The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. [50] Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way”.

The three simple secrets to moving God to manifest, the three simple things that brings about great move of God among any people, as are taught in John 14:12-15, 21 are an atmosphere of faith, prayer, and love;

1. God will not move except in an atmosphere of faith;

In the atmosphere of faith, miracles takes place. We know that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word. We can see the great move and manifestation of God when we testify of His goodness both to ourselves and to the nations (See Matthew 28:20, Mark 16:14-20).

Faith moves God! The Bible says that, “if any man believes in me, the works I do shall he do, and even greater works”. The proof of faith in a man is to do what you see him doing. Jesus did what He saw the Father doing. Show me your works and I will show you your faith. I can also tell what people believe by watching what they do. What you do shows exactly what you believe.

2. God will not move or manifest, except in an atmosphere of prayer;

In Acts 4:29-37, we see how the early church gathered to pray that the Lord should stretch forth His hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of His child, Jesus. They gathered to pray after they were threatened. And the Bible tells us in Acts 4:29-31 that after, “they had prayed, the place shook and they were filled with the Holy Ghost”. Prayer moves the hand of God to manifestations.

3. God will not move or manifest, except in an atmosphere of love and obedience;

Without holiness or separation, no man can see God. If you love God, He will love you and come and manifest Himself to you. Love moves God. In Pslam 63, David said, “Early will I seek you, in a dry and thirsty land, because my soul longs and thirst after you.” He wrote this psalm from the wilderness of Judah. If only we hunger and thirst and seek after God, we will find Him.

I have no doubt that you shall see God. I know there shall be a great move in your life and it will cause generations to come to celebrate you. Be blessed!

I love you;

Why You Need to Know and Understand Spiritual Gifts

[1 Corinthians 12:1‭-‬2 KJV] “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. [2] Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led”.

You need to understand spiritual gifts, because without such understanding, you will be tempted to return to dumb idols. The Bible tells us clearly that there are spiritual gifts, and we should not be ignorant of them. We must learn and have knowledge of the Gifts of the spirit, you know why? It is because we will be tempted to go back to dumb idols when we are ignorant of the spiritual gifts available in the church. The Lord wants us to have knowledge of spiritual gifts so that we can escape the temptation of returning to dumb idols.

Untill a man or woman has gained in-depth understanding into spiritual spiritual things, that person is likely to be trapped with dumb idols. Magic can be very attractive of you are not enlightened about the power of God. Apostle Paul therefore did not leave us ignorant, but enlightened us on spiritual gifts.

He taught in the text that in understanding spiritual gifts, there are four things you must know;

1. There are diversities of gifts but by the same Spirit:

There is one Holy Spirit but there are diverse kinds of gifts. The gifts are very different, hence the need not to get stereotyped. My gift may not look like anything you have seen but it is also a gift of the Spirit.

2. There are differences of administrations governed by the same Lord:

It is important to state that every manifestation takes place under an administration or structure of organization, but it is the same Lord. The same Jesus is the one administering the grace in the Anglican Church, and in the HighCity Church; the organization may not be the same but healing in a Presbyterian Church is the same healing in the HighCity Church.
There are diversities of operations but by the same God.

3. The operations are by the same God but not the same:

Honestly, there are always differences in the number of people required to make a gift sharp. One prophet may need a minstrel, another may not.

4. The manifestations of the spirit is given to every man to profit for the mutual benefit of all:

However the manifestation of the spirit is give to all for mutual benefit.

[1 Corinthians 12:4-7 KJV] “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. [5] And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. [6] And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. [7] But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal“.

God wants to save us from returning to dumb idol as though dumb idols are anything. He want us to know and comprehend the depth of His power, the exceeding greatness of His power towards us. May you experience sharp spiritual gifts from today, Amen! Be blessed!

I love you;

The Purpose of Supernatural Empowerment to Succeed

[Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV] “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day”.

God is blessing us, and He will continue to bless us because He wants to establish His covenant which He had with our fathers. So, nothing can stop us from prospering. The devil can try all he wants but God will bless us because of the salvation of souls in this generation. You are yet to know the depth of what God is about. As we seek the kingdom and righteousness of God, all other things shall be added on us.

It is the Lord that gives you power to make wealth. Wealth creation is a game of power. It is not for weaklings. It is the Lord that gives you the power to make wealth. You cannot make wealth on your own or by your own power. The Lord warned Israel never to think that their might can get them wealth. You cannot build a good house and live in it; eat to your fill, drink, and cloth yourself well, by your own might. It is the Lord that gives you that power.

The second fact you must aknowledge is that the purpose of your prosperity is to establish God’s covenant with us as He promised our fathers. God is opening doors for us, not because we are smarter than other people but because of His covenant. God is blessing you because He wants to establish His covenant with your fathers. Please be smart about this.

Your increase and prosperity must translate into establishing the kingdom. God is committed to bless us because of his covenant with our fathers. The key to great blessing is to understand the purpose of the prosperity. God has covenant with our fathers, the covenant to preach the gospel in all of the earth. It is covenant to reach and save entire cities by the preaching of the gospel of Christ, your prosperity is supposed to fulfill this covenant.

[Genesis 22:16-18 KJV] “And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord , for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son : [17] That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; [18] And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice”.

However, Acts 19 teaches us how to reach entire cities for Christ. I have no doubt that God will give us the power to reach many cities for Christ beginning from our Jerusalem.

I believe it is possible to reach entire cities for Christ. God will give us what it takes to prosper and make wealth to establish the covenant. Soon, you shall be empowered to support entire crusades and missionary trips.

God is faithful; I know that as we seek the kingdom and righteousness of God, He will give us power to make wealth in the name of Jesus Christ. Be blessed.

I love you
