“BEFORE ABRAHAM NO ONE PAID TITHE; SO WHO TAUGHT HIM TITHING?” – PASTOR ENENCHE DEMYSTIFIES HOW THE BIBLICAL ABRAHAM LEARNT TITHING
EXPLAINS THE PURPOSE OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
IF YOU KNOW GOD, YOU WILL BELIEVE HIM. YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN HIM SO YOU CAN’T BELIEVE HIM. IF YOUR FAITH IS FAILING ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU
I AM HERE TO ANNOUNCE TO SOMEBODY, GOD IS ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT WILL MAKE YOU IRRIGATE YOUR GENERATION.
GOD IS PLANNING TO TURN YOU TO A MOBILE REVIVAL, THAT SOMETHING ABOUT YOU CAUSES CLIMATES TO CHANGE, CAUSES TERRITORIES TO CHANGE.
THERE IS COMING A REVIVAL IN AMERICA THAT IS HIGHER THAN ANYTHING WE HAVE EVER SEEN!
HIGHER THAN THE HEALING REVIVAL!
HIGHER THAN THE AZUSA STREET REVIVAL!
IT’S GOING TO BE A SUMMATION OF ALL THE REVIVALS, FOR THE GLORY OF THE LATTER HOUSE SHALL BE GREATER THAN THAT OF THE FORMER
-Dr Pastor Paul Enenche on ‘THE PRODUCT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’ at the North America Dunamis Revival Fire Conference ||Day 3, Morning Session
Hosea 6:3. I welcome everyone to this service this morning. Very, very intense presence of God.
The subject is ‘THE PRODUCT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’ and the objective is simple. Church Gist. We want to understand the impact of the knowledge of God. If I know God, what does it profit me, what does it benefit me? What is the difference between me and those who don’t know God?
It is important to know that the knowledge of God is a treasure that is unquantifiable and I’m going to look at 7 things that the knowledge of God will do in the life of a person.
1, THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IS KEY TO REVIVAL.
Hosea 6:3. To know God is to be qualified for the rain of revival, the rain of Refreshment. “He shall come to us as the rain…” Agents of revival are people who know God, they have a relationship with God, they know God and God knows them. The knowledge of God excuses a man from the dry seasons of life. You are not permitted to be dry, you can’t dwell in the dry seasons if you know God. People who know God irrigate their generation. They are irrigation agents. Church Gist. They irrigate their generation with the presence of God. When you know God, you become a mobile revival, revival in motion. Everywhere you step, something is sparked. Everywhere you arrive something just breaks. You carry a climate that changes things. Church Gist.
Anya and Beth came all the way from Holland to be in this conference and they come all the time to Nigeria. Anya told me, Mrs Beth, she said, “You carry a climate with you that we feel around here”
She told me, she said she thought it was just restricted to Nigeria, until we went to London, England and had a program and everything we see in Nigeria was happening there. Everything. The climate was there, everything. People were testifying of deliverances, people of different colors. White skinned people were talking about how snake came out of them. The same way that is was happening to people at home. And Anya said, “Oh I now realize that it was not just a location, I think it is because you move about with an Open Heaven.” Yesterday she told me, “I still see the same Open Heaven here.”
God is planning to turn you into a mobile revival, that something about you causes climates to change, causes territories to change. Just because you step in there and you step in there with a climate!
I am here to announce to somebody, I am here to testify to somebody, God is about to do something in your life that will make you irrigate your generation!
If you believe that shout the loudest amen!
-Lift your right hand and say Father make me a mobile revival in my generation! Make me a mobile revival for my generation!
Give the Lord a praise and take your seat.
The knowledge of God! Those who are strangers to God don’t carry such climate. The knowledge of God is key to revival.
2, THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IS KEY TO SUPERNATURAL STRENGTH.
The people that do know their God shall be strong! It’s key to supernatural strength! And they shall do exploits. Daniel 11:32. Are you looking for supernatural strength? Do you want to be strong in the Spirit and not to be a weakling in the Spirit, then you need to know God! There is something about knowing God that makes you a strong person in the realm of the Spirit. There is something about knowing God that forbids for you to be a weakling in the realm of the Spirit. There is something about knowing God that increases your spiritual muscle. Church Gist. The people that do know thier God, they shall be strong.
Why is this strength necessary, it makes you unbeatable! Unbeatable before the adversities of life! Unbeatable! Proverbs 4:10. You faint before storms and before the winds of life and before witches and wizards, those kind of powers but if you know the Lord, your strength cannot be small. If your strength is not small, you cannot faint.
John G Lake said the Gospel is a strong man’s gospel. It’s not a gospel for the weak people.
God is raising a generation of strong people! Are you hearing me here today?
Joel 2:1-10. The endtime people are not a weak people. Church Gist. The people of the endtime revival are not a weak people. They are a strong people, a strong people! No force, no affliction can escape them, no devil can escape them. No witchcraft coven can escape them. Is God speaking to somebody here? He said they shall run upon the mountains like me of war. They shall climb the windows, they shall jump all manner of unusual exploits because these are a strong people.
I’ll like you to get ready because a generation of strong people are being raised! The devil will never mess up with us as he does.
Listen to me, we are in a very very great and strange time. Something is about to explode! Church Gist. The agenda of darkness cannot even stop it in this nation. The antiChrist agenda can’t stop it, there is no agenda from the pit of hell that can stop it. Because a generation of strong people are being raised that will tear down the walls of darkness, that will tear down the powers of darkness!
Somebody shout power!
The knowledge of God is the secret of supernatural strength.
3, THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IS THE SECRET OF SPIRITUAL POWER
What’s the difference? Spiritual power makes you equal to the battle. Spiritual power positions you in the realm of the miraculous. Church Gist. In the realm of the supernatural, in the realm of signs and wonders. Philippians 3 :10. To know Him is to know power. To know God is to know power!
It is the power for miracles, it is the power for signs, its the power that makes the supernatural natural. We are the generation in this nation that will walk in the supernatural naturally. Is God speaking to somebody here? You are hearing all manner of testimonies here that I am right there in Nigeria, and God is all over the world healing people. He used the face of His servant, someone is healed of cancer here, someone is healed of paralysis there and we have seen nothing yet. Church Gist. There is a time coming where it will just happen simultaneously all over the world, the power of God moving like we have never seen before!
There is coming a revival like we have never seen before in America that is higher than anything we have we’ve seen! That is higher than the healing revival! That is higher than the Azusa Street revival! That is higher and stronger than the Healing revival, the Charismatic revival, the Azusa Street revival, that is higher than any revival that you have seen! It’s going to be a summation of all the revivals, for the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the than the former!
Somebody shout power!
Prophetic at another level! The apostolic at another level! Pastoral at another level! The evangelistic at another level! It will break all manner of barriers: all manner of color barriers, all manner of social barriers. It will collapse every barrier!
Somebody shout power!
4, THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IS KEY TO GLORIOUS TRANSFORMATION OF LIFE.
To know God is to become like Him. 2 Corinthians 3:18. To look at Him is to look like Him. When you continously look at Him, you gradually begin to look like Him. What you look at becomes what you look like. When we hang around with Him, He hangs on our life. There is something that comes upon our lives as we hang around Him, as we stay around Him. Your transformation means your capacity is enlarged. Church Gist. You begin to function beyond normal human capacity. You begin to function with an enlarged capacity. It is like Jacob that became Israel, from a person to a nation.
Something is shifted. Something enlarges. From struggling to pastor 1,000 people, to coming to pastor 10,000 people with an enlarged capacity. From a little tiny business to becoming a multinational for the sake of the Gospel. Enlargement of capacity.
Somebody shout power!
Last night God showed me many many revelations. One of them is in the financial area. I see people counting money in millions of Dollars, Euros and other currencies. The agenda was like the time is so short that so much money is needed for so much to be done in a short time. So much resources are needed in the hands of faithful people not materialistic, carnal people; not people who are looking for what to wear, drink, drive and live but people who are minded in the kingdom. Church Gist. People who have a world changing mindset; and he is transferring and releasing the massiveness of these resources.
- I prophesy even within the next one week, someone is going to experience a massive financial flow for the sake of this end time gospel. And God is doing it for the sake of His work and purpose.
Our natural has to give way because it is so much of a limitation. Church Gist. The proportion of the supernatural has to become more in our lives so we can fulfil our purpose.
- The knowledge of God is key to spiritual responsibility (Authority): God gives responsibility to those He knows and those who know Him. Matthew 16:17. Church Gist. He used to be called Simon which was sea weed (grass) but he was changed to Peter which means rocky foundation – for knowing me I transform you from an ordinary member of the flock to a pillar in the Church. God will not do serious work with strangers. He can’t handover serious matters to someone He barely knows. No one does that! He would never see one who claims to be a Christian but he is a stranger with God and he hands over big business. Kingdom business belongs to those who know God and those who are known by God. Church Gist. If you want God to do serious things with you in your generation, let God know you and you know God. God will never do serious business with unserious people but with serious people.
Can you see what those who go to Church for religious purpose are doing to themselves when God is looking for who to entrust with major issues? Like Abraham He said, ‘can I hide from Abraham the thing which I do? So they called God – the God of Abraham and called Abraham – Abraham of God; that was what Melchizedek called Abraham. Church Gist. So, God belongs to Abraham and Abraham belongs to God. That is what God wants; He wants you to come to the point where you belong to Him and He belongs to you. You know Him and he knows you.
🎶Let me want what you want O my dear Lord🎶
Are you ready to come to that point? Then God will by pass a thousand people, Church goers, non committed people, unfaithful people who just want to use God but don’t want to know Him. He will bypass them, anoint you, place you over them and they will begin to say we have been in Church longer than this person. ‘we have been pastors all these years. Church Gist. We even know when he gave his life to Christ. Why must he be here?’ God says, ‘you don’t know me; he knows me.’
We had a pastors’ meeting sometime ago and I told some of our pastors and said, ‘I want you to understand that there are people you are pastoring who are more spiritual than you. You better wake up. Church Gist. They pray more, fast more and have a greater time with God. they are more sacrificial when it comes to giving and percentage of giving. They hear God more than you hear God.’ God wants to do something he will tell them; he didn’t tell you. The enemy is about to strike, he informs them; he didn’t inform you. Church Gist. So that we can calm down and drop our shoulder and relax our pride and go before God and say, ‘Lord, what you are doing in my generation don’t bypass me. Forgive me, pardon me if I have offended you but please don’t leave me out of your schedule, your move.’
There was a woman in the temple called Anna. She had a revelation of the coming Messiah; the High Priest was not aware. The head of the synagogue was not aware but she knew; she was a widow of 85 years. Church Gist. Jehovah will bypass everybody and go and inform her –‘My friend I am about to do something. You know I told you that you will not die until he appears. He is soon to arrive.’
God gives you responsibilities; He trusts you. He said you know what? ‘Even though you are young, you are Paul the Apostle, you were not there when I was crucified, you were still in the world persecuting the Church, but you have pressed so much into me. Church Gist. You know me and I know you. I want to show you the revelation of the crucifixion – all the things that happened when you were still a sinner. Let me show you even though I have not revealed them to Peter, James and John.’ It is not the time you came in that determines the place you occupy. Church Gist. The late comer can become a front liner like Paul the Apostle if he pays the price and does what is necessary. So, don’t over celebrate your age in the Lord or your time in the Church.
- The knowledge of God is key to audacious Faith and confidence in God: when you see a man who is audacious, behaves like fear does not exist, there is something he knows others don’t know. In 2 Timothy 1:12, if you know Him, you will believe Him. You have not known Him so you can’t believe Him. It’s hard to believe strangers. Church Gist. You want to find out the secret of my belief? It is rooted in my knowledge of him. In the course of my knowledge of him, I understudied his ability. When I got close to him, I got to know his capability – what He is able to do and what He can’t do. On the basis of that, I am over convinced that anything I commit to Him He can keep. If your faith is failing ask him to reveal Himself to you. “I am not fully persuaded because I don’t know you as I should. My faith is still shaky. There are times I am confident and at times I am afraid because I don’t fully know you.”
They sent you a threat of death and you are afraid of a witch is because you don’t really know Him. If you knew Him, you will realize that a man in Downtown Chicago on the 60th floor of a skyscraper has no need to be afraid of a snake on the ground floor because if you know that you are seated in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus… (Ephesians 1:21), it is a waste of fear.
If you don’t want to know God for anything, please try and know God for the sake of your faith because your faith is key to your survival. Hebrews 10:38. Church Gist. You may be cut short before your time if your faith is not alive, not working. What I am sharing with you today, this Scripture I am reading to you, I am saying it for the first time.
- The knowledge of God is key to the secrets of God: those who know God and who are known by God, they have access to His secrets. My wife knows me and I know her and there are information of each other that we are privileged to have by virtue of knowledge. Church Gist. I can’t see a stranger today and tell him everything about my family. Job 29:4-5. Intimates share secrets. Job 36:22. Every time you go close to God, He will show you things that He doesn’t show any other person.
You remember Abraham? How many of you remember the first place in the Scripture that tithe was mentioned? With Abraham in Genesis 14. Before then was there any mention of tithe? Was there any law about tithe? Church Gist. The Law of Moses came 430 years later where the tithe was mentioned as a matter of decree and commandment. Before Abraham no one paid tithe; so who taught him tithing? There was no book for him to read it from.
This is what happened: in the course of His walk with God and God had told Him about the blessing, he said, “You know what my friend? This blessing that I told you about there is a secret to it and it is called the tithe. You know when I created man in the Garden of Eden, I gave him every fruit to eat but there was one I asked him not to eat. Church Gist. That was to be consecrated.” So what was Adam meant to do with it? (You may ask) “Oh, he was to gather it. Every time I appear he will say Lord, this is what you said I shouldn’t touch – have it. And because he ate what I asked him not to eat, he lost the garden. So, Abraham for us to work together, a portion of what you have belongs to me. Always surrender it.”
What I am telling you, you won’t find it in any book. I am just giving you a privilege. Church Gist. I have not told any other person before you because I want you to be the father of the blessing.
I’ll like somebody here to get ready, God is about to show you something, something that will be so new, so fresh, and a business idea, a wisdom, a revelation. Something that is so new, so fresh, people will be wondering how did you know, where did you read it from, how did you see this thing, as a result of your relationship, a result of your walk with God. He will show you something you have not seen before, you have not read before. Church Gist. That is why it is a disaster to be addicted to tradition, because it excludes you from revelation. You are not open to see anything or hear anything that God will say to you because you are married to tradition!
Stand up on your feet everybody!
Something is happening, something is happening!
Abraham saw it from no book. He saw it from God. The Book came 400 years later, but Abraham was already walking in it.
Are you hearing what I’m saying here today? While God was giving me this word, I almost exploded myself! I am personally ushered into a realm.
“I’m about to do something concerning Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham. I’m just telling you this because we are together, nobody is aware of this. And don’t tell anybody for how. But I know you have a nephew there, his name is Lot, so just try and see how you can rescue him.”
God was telling Abraham. Can I do a thing and not tell my friend Abraham? Lot was not a good boy, I will talk about him later, if we have time. Church Gist. He was very disrespectful of his uncle. He behaved in very rude ways for the man who brought him out and made him into something. Was striving with his uncle. But God said, For your sake Abraham, I will save him and I’m telling you this, you won’t hear it on CNN. It’s not on Fox News. You won’t find it anywhere. CNN won’t tell you about that.
But something is about to happen to someone!
I’ll take it from here in the evening. How do I know God?
“Then shall we know, if we press…” Hosea 6:3. If we press, if we follow on to know. There is a pressure that is attached to the precious. Church Gist. Everything that is precious carries a price. There is a pressure! Then shall we know if we follow… If we come to the point where you say Lord I agree that I don’t know you. I need to know!
There is a desperation that precedes revelation. You want revelation, you pay attention. Church Gist. And there is no attention without tension. At-tension. You have to be at tension. There are people who are too casual to see anything.
There are times I’m preparing a message; my wife can’t talk to me. If she greets, she may not expect a reply. And she knows that there is no challenge. She knows that nobody loves wife like myself; but for that moment, I am at tension.
Hallelujah!
-Lift up your hands, lift up your hands! I want to know you, I want to know you. This evening we are going to have an anointing session. If you need God to release His power on a bottle of oil for you, feel free. We are going to have a session for you.
Tonight something will explode, something will explode!
Now lift up your hands and your voices and begin to speak to God right now. Speak to God right now. Speak to God right now. Speak to God right now.
-Lift up your right hand say Father I am asking for the rain of revival by your knowledge. I am asking for supernatural strength by your knowledge. I am asking for spiritual power from your knowledge. I am asking for the transformation of my life through your knowledge; that you will position me in responsibility by your knowledge.
Father, step me into the realm of audacious faith by your knowledge. Help me Lord to access your secrets through your knowledge in this season, in the name of Jesus!
