ONE OF THE THINGS REQUIRED TO ARISE AND SHINE IN LIFE IS THE COMMAND OF ABUNDANCE.
GOD HAS CHOSEN ABUNDANCE FOR YOU. WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE?
THE CHOICE YOU MAKE ATTRACTS GOD’S BACKING.
DON’T PLAY WITH YOUR CHOICE. MAKE IT WISELY, FIRMLY AND TIMELY; IT WILL SECURE DIVINE BACKING FOR YOU.
WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR LIFE’S AFFAIRS, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALIGNING YOUR WILL WITH GOD’S WILL.
DON’T CHANGE YOUR CHOICE TO PROSPER BECAUSE OF CIRCUMSTANCES. YOUR CASE IS DIFFERENT.
GOD PROSPERED YOU SO THAT YOU CAN BUILD HIS KINGDOM BUT YOU ARE AFTER SOLVING ALL YOUR PROBLEMS.
WHEN JEHOVAH IS INVOLVED, WHAT SHOULD WORK AGAINST YOU WORKS IN YOUR FAVOUR.
GOD TOLD ME TO START THE CHURCH PROJECT ALONGSIDE THE BALM OF GILEAD HOSPITAL.
OVER 18 YEARS, THIS CHURCH HAS BEEN FEEDING PEOPLE EVERY SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY AND IT WILL NEVER STOP.
FULL LIFE TV HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR MORE THAN 7 YEARS. IT DOESN’T MATTER THE PRICE OF DOLLAR.
IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO HAVE MONEY, YOU MUST HAVE THAT SPIRITUAL AUDACITY TO CAUSE CHANGE IN THE LAND FOR GOD.
YOU CAN’T SAY YOU ARE CHOOSING PROSPERITY AND YOU ARE BEHAVING LIKE POVERTY.
CHOOSE KINGDOM ADVANCEMENT ABOVE WORLDLY SHOW AND PRIDE.
CHOOSE SPIRITUALITY, GODLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS BECAUSE YOUR CHARACTER WILL BE TESTED.
DON’T LOOK FOR STATUS, SERVE!
- Rev. Ntia I. Ntia on “I CHOOSE TO PROSPER” at I Choose To Prosper Sunday Service || Second Service || 30 Days Of Victory || Day 15 || 15th September 2024.
Somebody say: “I choose to prosper! I choose abundance!
Say: I say ‘no’ to scarcity!” Amen!
Isaiah 60:5-6.
Somebody say: “Abundance is coming to me!”
So there we see clearly that one of the things required to arise and shine in life is (the) command of abundance.
-Abundance shall be converted to you in the name of Jesus!
-Some of us have already enjoyed abundance, let the flow increase in Jesus’ name! Church Gist. Let the flow be sustained in Jesus’ name! Some of us have been in a dry place for too long. Beginning today, begin to enjoy abundance in Jesus’ name!
Say: I choose to prosper!
It’s important you know that God has already chosen prosperity for you. God has already chosen prosperity for you! When God created man, He created man to enjoy abundance and prosperity. Church Gist. Genesis 1:28. ‘Fruitful’, that talks of abundance; yes or no? That talks of abundance. So God has already made His choice clear – This is the way I designed it to be from the beginning.
-Somebody, your life shall be in alignment with God in Jesus’ name!
Psalm 8:5-7. Provision, resources have been put under man’s control.
-I pray for somebody here, (the) abundance that God has provided in this Earth shall answer to you in Jesus’ name!
Psalm 103:1-5. We see there that when God paid the price to forgive our sins, part of the package included restoration of the abundance that was lost. Church Gist. Psalm 103:3. Does He forgive your sins? Does He heal your sicknesses? Does He bring you deliverance and safety?
Shout: I enjoy abundance! I choose prosperity. From today, your life shall not be empty! Your life shall not be dry, you will not live in lack, you will not live in penury. Church Gist. You that is up, keep going up. You will not come down. You that is down, you are raised in the name of Jesus!
Help me shout: I choose abundance, I choose prosperity!
Now, you can choose poverty; you are free to make that choice. You can choose lack; you are free to make that choice. You can choose little; you are free to make that choice, but I’m going to give you why you should choose to prosper. Church Gist. I’m going to give you reasons why choosing to prosper (that) I will recommend to you is better than choosing to be small. Hallelujah. Psalm 113:1-3. I am telling you, God has chosen prosperity for you.
-Somebody say: I agree with God. Shout: I am blessed to prosper!
Wealth with righteousness! Riches with righteousness! Amen, somebody! You are not backsliding because of money, you are not backsliding because of some promise. You will serve the Lord and He will bless you with abundance in Jesus’ name! God has chosen abundance for you. Church Gist. What is your choice? 3 John 1:2. And just as that ‘health’ there is not just spiritual health. “Prospering” is not just spiritual prospering. “Prosper! Be in health!” So God loves you enough to be interested both in your spiritual and material needs.
-I pray for somebody here: Access your portion of wealth and prosperity in Jesus’ name!
Revelation 5:5-12.
Shout: He has prevailed! Shout: I choose power, I choose riches, I choose wisdom, I choose strength, I choose honour, I choose glory, I choose blessing! Church Gist. Let your Amen be the loudest one here! Tell your neighbour: You have a choice in this matter.
We’ve seen what God has chosen for you, what is your choice? You have a choice. God said in Deuteronomy 30:19: “Choose life!” God said in Joshua 1:8, the choice you make makes your way. Church Gist. So as I’m choosing now – I am releasing divine force that goes to align my way in life. I should not leave my future to “whatever will be, will be.” I should make a choice today that will shape my path tomorrow.
-Somebody say: Amen! Shout: I choose to prosper! I will prosper. I am already prospering, I will continue to prosper.
Luke 10:42. The choice you make attracts God’s backing. Church Gist. What Mary has chosen, Jesus said: “I back it up, it will not be taken from her.” Who has chosen to prosper? Identify yourself.
-It will never be diverted from you in Jesus’ name!
Don’t play with your choice; make it wisely, make it firmly and make it timely. It will secure divine backing for you. John 5:6. God wants to do it but are you in agreement with God or not? It aligns your will in agreement with God. “Whether I agree with God or not, God is God; He can overrule me.” God created you as a creature of free will and He respects how He created you and ‘will not…” I didn’t say: “cannot.” I said: “will not” overrule your will over your affairs. Say Amen, somebody! When it comes to your life’s affairs you are responsible for aligning your will with His will. That’s why Jesus said to pray: “Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” You must align your will with His will. Church Gist. Say Amen somebody! Align your will with His will. Luke 11:2. John 5:6-7. Jesus stood before a man and when He saw the man in a terrible condition, He was able to heal the man, He was there to heal the man but the man had to align his will with Jesus in order for what Jesus came to do to happen in his life. “Are we in agreement? Because two cannot work together except they are in agreement.” “Are we in agreement? I want you healed, I want you blessed, I want you to prosper so I can use you as a channel of blessing to creation but I need you to make a choice and apply your will so that your will can be in alignment, an agreement with Me.” Say a loud Amen. Amos 3:3. Mark 6:2-5. Rather than being in agreement with Him, they were offended, they were biased, their will was not in alignment with His will and they began to look down on what He came to do. Result? He could not do (any mighty work). He wanted to, but He cannot! In other places He did; there where He had no honour, where He had no alignment, no agreement. He could not do no mighty work.
-I pray for you as you say Amen now. In your life, doors will open for you. Barriers will give way to breakthrough, there will be divine provision, there will be miracle supply, wisdom will direct you, your steps will be fruitful! Say that Amen well oo. Church Gist. Say: I shake off laziness, I shake off carelessness, I shake off irresponsibility, I align my will with the will of God. I choose to prosper. I choose to live long, I choose to live well. I choose to live at the top. If you will say Amen, let it happen for you!
You have a choice! “I don’t know why things are not working!” Ask the person: “What choices were you making yesterday? What choices were you making in the past?” “I don’t know what he meant by: ‘What choices was I making’? Church Gist. What kind of choice was I to make?” What choices were you making? “Me, I don’t understand. Tell me how.” Many people don’t know that they are making wrong choices. They are not aware! It’s only when a problem arrives at the door and they shout for a miracle and none happens, they are faced with the consequences of their actions. Say a loud Amen!
Say: I have made my choice! I prosper!
Examples of people who commanded a shining glorious destiny by accessing prosperity. They accessed prosperity, not healing, not deliverance! Church Gist. They didn’t cast out devils! They didn’t walk in water. They conquered wealth in God’s name and their world saluted them. Amen, somebody!
-You will conquer wealth! For the sake of your family, you will conquer wealth. For the sake of the poor around you, you will conquer wealth that the name of Jesus might be glorified. You will conquer wealth.
Isaac
There’s no record of any prophecy by Isaac. There’s no record of any vision by Isaac, there’s no record of any sermon by Isaac. No crusade! A businessman but feared God, believed God, stood for God. There’s even no record of any extended fasting. He found his area and decided to represent God there. Jehovah backed him up! The Patriarch used wealth to teach his world that God should be feared. Genesis 26:1-5. There was famine and everybody knew their level, we are in trouble. Everybody knew their level, we are finished. Everybody knew their level, there is no hope. Everybody knew their level, there’s nothing that can be done. Church Gist. Everybody knew their level, the only way is to escape, run! And God said: “Shii! Let me use this and show them that where the natural stops is where the supernatural starts! Let me use this atmosphere. I’m going to use this economic environment to show them that your God rules over the affairs of men. Dwell in this Land, put your goods like every other person. Let them say: “Nobody is buying”. “I agree! Keep it there! I will bring one customer from Kaduna, he will buy off your goods and know that I can single you out and favour you. Start the building project! Let everybody say: “Nobody is building, let everybody say it’s too terrible, the economy is bad for anybody to build. You, would you like Me to show them that your serving Me is not in vain?” “Yes Lord!” “Start! Dig the ground!” “All I have is money for 5 bags of cement.” “Start with that! All I need is for you to take one step, I take hundred!”
-In this season, the supernatural will answer for you! The supernatural will show up for you! Shout: My faith is alive, I am feeding on the Word of God! My faith is ready! I will see the hand of God. Church Gist. Shout Amen at the top of your voice. I prophesy, no matter the weather you will prosper! No matter the season, you will prosper! No matter the economy, you will prosper! No matter the environment, you will prosper! Shout Amen!
So Isaac obeyed “Alright Lord! You want me to stay on? You want me to keep doing the business?” “Stay there Isaac! Watch Me shock you!” So the Bible said in verse 12, Isaac carried his goods, carried his donkeys and went to farm. No rain anywhere. He went to a farm. Church Gist. Everybody (was) looking at him and saying: “This madman, what is your problem: “Where will you find water?” The portion of land where Isaac chose to plant, somehow the plough struck a portion of land and water came out. You see? They will call it luck but God says the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. They will call it luck, they will say: “Well! It’s just a coincidence! But this is a spiritual arrangement of coincidence.”
-I came here to charge somebody’s faith. Somebody is about to dare a venture! Somebody is about to dare a business step, somebody is about to dare a project, somebody is about to dare a move and everything is saying: “Don’t try it!” But if God be for us, who can be against us? Church Gist. The Lord said: Once I show it to you and you see it, begin to follow! I prophesy upon somebody here, by the Oil of God that you have been under, the next step you take, favour shall open a door. Favour shall bring helpers! Favour shall bring partners! Favour will give you consideration! Shout: Favour!
When nobody was getting married in the time of Moses’ parents. Moses’ father, a man of Levi, Moses’ mother a woman of Levi. Nobody is getting married, Pharaoh said: “Kill every child!” They went and got married. People are warning you: “You better make sure you don’t have a male child. Church Gist. Be sure you don’t have a male child because if you have a male, you are the one that looks for your trouble.” And they had a male child. You see? God wants to prove a point. They had a male child. “What do we do? Soldiers are parading the streets, what do we do?” After 3 months, they couldn’t hide the Child anymore. One idea! You see? It looks like a coincidence but the steps of a good man…
Shake your head and say: “Lord! I am ready for light! Send me a direction! Church Gist. Send me a leading! I will obey You, I will trust You, I will believe You.” It might not make sense but I will trust You!
Light entered the spirits of his parents, they did a basket, put towel under it so that it wouldn’t sink; they put the Baby inside. “Child! This house is no more safe but as the Lord liveth, you won’t die like other children!” They carried him and dropped him by the river. Church Gist. I like the way God does things! Can I tell you something? While you are panicking on this side, God is working on somebody on the other side. While you are wondering what is happening here, God is putting somebody under pressure there!
-Whoever is that helper, they come under pressure! Any man or woman, they come under pressure! Your matter must be decided and they will decide in your favour! Your matter will be settled! Church Gist. The delay is over! In this season, your good news will arrive, your good news will come forth. I wake them up wherever they are, I stir them up wherever they are, I provoke them wherever they are, let them come!
That same day, that same morning that they decided to put the Child in the basket; that same morning! Church Gist. Because that Child cannot stay under the Sun and die of dehydration. That same morning!
-He that keepeth Israel shall neither sleep nor slumber. In the name of Jesus, before your deadline, money shall arrive! Money shall enter your account. Church Gist. I know I am prophesying for somebody here, money to balance that payment, money to fund that project. Money to complete that issue, take it! Shout: I prosper!!
That same morning, Jehovah entered the palace and looked for the only family that could guarantee the protection of this Child. Not two, not three, the only place where this Baby is safe. No other Egyptian family can carry this Child because that would mean double trouble, trouble for the Child, trouble for the family. You disobeyed Pharaoh? The only person that can disobey Pharaoh and there will be no consequence is Pharaoh’s child or Pharaoh’s wife, or Pharaoh himself. God said: “Let Me use the one that these people can handle – Pharaoh’s daughter!” She said: “I’m not bathing in the palace.” “What? Why?” “I don’t feel like bathing here.” You used to watch those their movies. “My princess, it is forbidden for the princess to bathe where commoners can behold her nakedness.” “I said I’m not bathing in the palace.” “Sorry my princess, where do you want to bath?” “I want to bathe in that river.” Church Gist. Of all the rivers in Egypt, why that river? “I want to bathe in that river near the slave camp. Your Highness! I have spoken!” Your Highness, what of other people? Send them away!” So advanced force went, cleared the place, whoever else who could have found that Baby, Jehovah used advanced force and chased all of them away. Another person could have found that Baby and handed him over to a soldier but Jehovah chased all of them away. Then the Princess arrived. Everybody is looking this way because you cannot behold the Princess and she went. “Okay, why can’t she stop?” She can’t stop, she’s under command.
-Somebody is under command for your sake now. Somebody is under command to favour you now! Somebody is under command to agree with you now! Somebody is under command to change their mind now! Church Gist. Somebody is under command to change their project now! Somebody is under command to change the approval now. Somebody is under command to favour you now! If you say Amen well let it happen before this Service is over.
Say: Oh God! Put every helper under command for my sake!
Don’t change your (right) choice oo because of circumstance. Don’t change your choice because of what your eyes see. Don’t change your choice because of what happened to the other person. Church Gist. Your case is different! You are a chosen generation! You are a royal priesthood, you are a holy nation! You are a peculiar person.
Say: I will not change my choice.
Then she turned a bend around some bushes and heard a baby crying: “Ah! Plan has changed!” Heard a baby crying: “Plan has changed!” Church Gist. She went after it, opened the basket, picked the Child and knew who the Child was. She said: “This is one of the Hebrew children, but this one can’t die like the rest.”
-I know you are not qualified, I know you don’t have all that others have but they are under command to favour you! I know they said there are other issues and the money is not enough, whatever they want to put before you. Church Gist. We stop it in your favour, we stop that other project in your favour! We stop that other approval in your favour! Your matter is accelerated!
Exodus 2:2. She carried the Baby! My question is: “Where were the soldiers that chased everybody? Where were they?” Because the mother dropped that girl there when the Baby was dropped before they came to clear the place for the Princess to bathe. Why didn’t they chase her away? After the Baby was found, how did she pass through the convoy?
-They said: “There is no way,” my God has made a way for you! Heaven has made a way for you now! You will receive a phone call today that there is a way for you! Church Gist. You will receive an invitation today that God has made a way for you. You will receive an email today. I know that word is for somebody. You will receive a confirmation today that God has made a way!
Exodus 2:7. Oh! That’s enough to arrest both the Girl (Maid) and the Baby because for you to say you want to go and call… That means you know where this Child came from. Church Gist. You are a culprit. For where? When Jehovah is involved, what should work against you works for you. What should work against you, works in your favour.
-I am not just preaching, I am prophesying that as the Lord liveth, before 12 noon tomorrow what they planned against you shall work in your favour! What shall work against your business shall turn in your favour! What they planned against your family shall turn in your favour! What they planned against your career shall turn in your favour! I command it to turn! Church Gist. Let the evil plan turn, let the evil agenda turn! Let the conspiracy turn! Let their gang up turn! Let their night meeting turn! Somebody shout: Turn!
-The God that leaves the 99 to go after the one. You shall be that one! In that whole list of many names, your name shall be the one! In that whole file of pending requests, your own shall come out by favour!
Exodus 2:8. While the Maid went. “Princess, what are you doing? Bath nah?” Agenda has changed. So now we know bathing was never the plan. Church Gist. She waited for a slave girl to go on foot to wherever the mother was and there was no phone to say: “Where are you!” So she had to enter camp and look for the mother.
-I don’t know what they took from you and they say you came late. They said your application didn’t come on time. They said if you had talked earlier, they said nobody mentioned your name. Church Gist. I stand on this altar today. I reverse it in your favour, I reverse the decision in your favour, I overturn the decision in your favour, I overrule in your favour, we cancel that negative decision, we cancel that negative plan, we cancel that negative choice in the name of Jesus! They will wait for you!
She went and brought the Mother. Mama, a woman that delivered 3 months ago, how fast can she move? Not now that you have painkillers, and you have all of those medical. No!!! Whatever was available then was available for the crème de la crème, not slaves! Church Gist. That Woman managed and came back! She said: “Take this Child, nurse him for me. Anybody that comes tell him this is Pharaoh’s daughter’s child!” Immunity! Divine exemption!
-Others might go down minus you! Other businesses might fold up minus you. Other companies can go bankrupt, I say: minus you! (Speaking Ibibio Language) When God wants to do something, He will do and add jara, so it will look like God is the One that did it. Church Gist. So, God takes the Child through a trip: River, Pharaoh’s daughter, back to the Mother and this time around with wages! They pay her to take care of her child, they pay her to nurse her child. They are paying her to nurse her child.
-I don’t know how God will pay you, I don’t know where the payment will come from but I raise this mantle, Heaven will pay you! In this season, God will pay you, in this season God will compensate you, in this season mercy will pay you, in this season favour will pay you. Shout Favour! Shout mercy!
They are now paying her and they are also securing her child for her and they are also protecting her child for her. Oh! As if that’s not enough, God said: “That’s not good enough. I want to train a star, I want to train a pacesetter, I want to train a highflyer, frontliner, I want to train a trailblazer. Where are the best schools found?” And God said: “It’s in Pharaoh’s house. “Child! You are not done, go back to Pharaoh’s house.” Church Gist. So the Child is received back by the Princess, taken to Pharaoh’s house, trained in the best schools, trained in the best military institutions, trained in the best leadership skills. Where do you think Moses was able to craft everything for the Tabernacle? Measurements, designs, calculations, all of those dimensions? Where do you think he got all of that skill from? When the Child reached 40 and God said: “Time up!” Jehovah entered the palace. He said: “Go back home! Your people are waiting for you! I don’t waste training on people! I don’t make you survive for no reason! When I keep you, I am keeping you for something great!”
-There are people under the sound of my voice today, before this month is out; your real honour of destiny shall emerge! Church Gist. The reason why what killed others couldn’t kill you, the reason why what stopped others couldn’t stop you, the reason why what discouraged others couldn’t discourage you, why you survived, why you were tough, why you were rugged, why your prayer life kept coming, why the worship kept flowing, why the tears kept flowing, why your faith kept standing. The real reason: “Lord! What is going on? Lord I don’t even understand, Lord! What are you training me for? Lord, what is happening? 2 Corinthians 2:9.
—-PRAYERS—–
Say: Like Isaac, I will not change my choice. Like Moses and Moses’ parents, I will not change my choice. Like Job, I will not change my choice. Church Gist. Job said even if maggot like let maggot come out of my body, I know my Redeemer liveth. Job 13: In this my flesh, I will see Him intervene for me.
I am asking you, God has made His choice for you; what is your choice? Where is your stand? What’s your choice?
I read about one man called Joseph of Arimathea who was a secret disciple. When everything was against the name of Jesus, they killed Him like a criminal, hung Him there. See! You must have money oo! Hung Him there, abandoned him. Everybody ran away – Peter took off, John took, James took off. Church Gist. Everybody fled! What do you want them to do? That was when God touched one man called Joseph of Arimathea. He said this is the time now to show them that money, power and righteousness is voice. Luke 23:52. There are places and seasons where God must say: “Son! I was working on you for this time! Show them what I put inside you!”
-You will never be a cowardly person! I decree the Spirit of Greatness upon your life. I decree the Spirit of Might upon your life. I decree grace for wealth upon your life! I decree you shall be a voice! Church Gist. Somebody shout: I have not arrived, I am going forward, I am going upward to represent my God. Let your Amen be the loudest!
See money as a valuable and useful equipment for life. I want you to see the spiritual mission of money in the hand of the believer so that you will choose it with all audaciousness of faith. Valuable instrument. Ecclesiastes 10:19. In the realm of the material, in the realm of the physical, in the realm of the financial, money, more money, much more money; it answers. Church Gist. So no matter what you have seen, don’t stop! “Thank God I’ve trained all my children.” It’s not your children God was having in mind. It’s a generation that must have a voice that God has in mind. “By the grace of God, I’ve built my house.” It’s not your house God had in mind. Isaiah 45:1-3.
Somebody say: Useful equipment for Kingdom assignment.
Isaiah 45:11. Meaning “There is wealth I only give to a person I can direct. There’s a level of wealth I will only give to a person I can instruct because I had a plan for channelling that wealth in your direction.” “Moses, I am not wasting all this training on your life. Moses, I’m not wasting all this empowerment on you. Moses, you are My reply to an evil kingdom that will emerge. I am only going to trust who I can direct. The question is: “Can God direct you? Can God lead you? Church Gist. Can God instruct you? Do you know how to receive and follow divine guidance?” Isaiah 45:13. So now we know that building your house was not what God had in mind, it was building His Kingdom was what God was having in mind. God’s plan was not that you will have a house in every city around the world so that you will boast: “There is no city around the World that I don’t have a house.” No! God’s plan was not that you will have 10 houses that are the most expensive in the whole city. That was not His plan. His plan was for you to build His city! And you know God sees people’s hearts today and disqualifies them from tomorrow.
1 Samuel 16. He looks into the heart today, the dreams of the heart today, the ambitions of the heart today, the passions of the heart today, the spendings of the heart today. How you spend that your 100,000 is why He cannot allow one million to enter your hand. How you spent that one million, He was watching you. He said: “I couldn’t instruct you, you wouldn’t listen! I couldn’t direct you! I couldn’t lead you!” He said: “I prospered, you so that you can build my city.” Of everything you have had so far, what have you built for God? Church Gist. How much of it did you spend to do anything for God? No! You are after solving all your problems, then you are after making sure you have what all your friends had that you didn’t have, you are after making sure you put this in place and use it to brag. And God said: “That’s why it stopped where it stopped.” Now people respect you but the doors have closed. What you laid up is going down. You are seeing it before your eyes going down, you are desperate! 50k entered your hand, see what you used it for. That’s why another one has not come.
-I decree! Hand-to-mouth existence has ended in your life today!
Isaiah 45:13. ‘The poor’ was God’s concern. The poor that cannot help themselves. Over 18 years this Church has been feeding people every Sunday and Wednesday. With everything you have; you’ve never dropped one bag of rice. That’s why God is never excited about your shouting. Every Sunday and Wednesday! Over 18 years and it will never stop! I would rather sell my car than for it to stop. Of course, it can’t stop! More than 7 years now, Full Life TV has been blasting every week, every month! 5000 dollars every month! It doesn’t matter the price of dollar. Church Gist. Have you ever bothered? Ask her here, if you know people in communities, pastors in communities every time, somewhere: “Sir! Thank God for Full Life TV, may God strengthen you to continue! Sir, we are watching you from Gabon. Sir, we are following you very seriously from Chad. We are following you Sir from Cameroon.” “Which part of Cameroon?” Some places you will never go! “Sir, we are following you from Togo.” I said: “But you people speak French?” He says: “Yes! But the fire!” Captives are crying. God told me He said: “As you are starting the Church Project, He said: “Start the Balm of Gilead Hospital at the same time.” That’s when I realized that God is hearing the cry of the weak, sick, afflicted just as He is hearing our praise/worship.
Wake up! There are ‘Cyruses’ hearing me now! Accept this mandate! See! Even if you don’t know anything else, you see today we have all the schools. We have the school of this one; we have the school of that one; we have the school of this – Business school, so so empowerment, so so training. Which one did Abraham attend? And I value, of course success is my passion. Success is one of my passions but which one did Isaac attend? Bible said: Joseph taught his senators wisdom. Which school em go? Daniel sat in the same class with them, how come? Prayer was more important to him than his library. Church Gist. I mean, we know of his prayer life, we don’t know of his library. The Man prayed 3 times a day because no matter how much we read, we cannot cannot compete with occultists. You cannot compete with people who have given their souls to satan by merely throwing out certain principles. Unless where you want to enter is not a battlefield but if it’s a battlefield you can build a factory and somebody will make sure (Speaking Ibibio Language) the factory will stay there and become rotten. I’m not telling you stories, I can point to instances. They say: “Come and join this our thing.” You say: “I’m not joining.” “No problem, we will teach him a lesson.” That is where the Angel of Mercy that was standing by the door will stand with a fresh mantle to drop on you. They can’t see it, but you’re about to collect something looking like a normal day of 30 days of victory, but you’re about to receive something that will make you look wizards in the face and tell them: “I didn’t come here by myself. The One that sent me is with me, I won’t do that rubbish!”
See! To change things in this Country now, you need more than a certificate. You see? Unless you don’t understand how deep the hold this Country is in is; to change things in this Country now, that’s they say: “Minister of Power! Come and change things; solve power problems. Minister of Aviation, come and turn around the aviation industry.” For where? “Send for Daniel! He would tell you the meaning of the handwriting!” “Ah! Ah! Who’s Daniel? Why is he not among us here? I thought you people called all the key princes here. How come he is not here?” Daniel 5:11. “My King, he does not attend things like this. His loyalty is to the God of the Heavens, his loyalty is to the Most High, the one that rules above the watchers. Church Gist. He does not bow to our gods but we need him too much to ignore him.” Daniel entered! Fresh from the prayer closet not fresh from business school. Okay! You close the factory during the day, somebody came and packed sand in the night, how will economics help you? If anybody says you don’t need God, don’t mind them oo. You need God. You need the One that neither sleeps nor slumbers while you are sleeping. This is not the message I prepared, God has just preached another sermon to somebody here. Somebody in this Service! Daniel came, he said: “I hear say you are one of the magicians that my father picked from the slave camp of the Jews. I heard that you can interpret this thing for me, interpret it I will give you this…” Daniel said: “Keep your package to yourself and to the people that need your handouts but I will tell you the meaning because what I’m about to tell you it will be like koboko, I will be flogging you so just know it that I came with a message for you.” Then he gave him history! Stand to your feet!
It’s not enough to have money, you must have that spiritual audacity to cause change in the land for Jehovah God. It’s not enough to have money. This is my counsel to you:
Counsel 1: Choose God.
If you want to choose to prosper God’s way, choose God first! Choose God! Choose Jehovah! Let Him come first in your life. Matthew 6:33. Church Gist. Choose God! Choose to serve Him, choose to love Him! Don’t be shy of your dedication! God called Cyrus, His anointed! That’s what God called him.
Counsel 2: Choose Kingdom advancement above worldly show and pride.
“I need you to build My cities not to brag about cars and brag about awards.” “I’ve been given award of this and this.” Ask the Precious Woman of God here, ask my P.A., I’ve refused to accept anything called ‘award’, nominated from anywhere. I’ve refused! Church Gist. Except the one they just bring without letting you know and they just bring, they just bring it. “Give honour to whom honour is due.” Amen! Choose Kingdom advancement, choose crusade, choose soul winning, choose outreach. The Church of God must not lose her voice in a desperate generation, in need of help. Do your love for the poor through God’s Kingdom, not through some club or society. That is not the altar you represent! Do (it) through God’s Kingdom, give voice to the Message of Salvation.
Give voice to the Cross of Calvary, not some society, not some club that is of no eternal value. Matthew 6:33. Zechariah 1:17. I want these things to be carved in your heart, today that looks like you are a nobody. Today that nobody is fighting you yet because… Mama, the Bible says that nobody knew Nehemiah said that nobody knew what his God had put in his heart to do in Jerusalem. Nobody knew! It was when they now knew that Tobiah and Sanballat (rose up) but it was too late. I am telling you now that they think you are nothing, you are nobody. They won’t even snap with you, no problem! Church Gist. Because tomorrow now they will be the same ones that won’t allow you to come to Church; they are the same ones that will want you to attend every function, invite you for every function, Sunday to Sunday! And I will be watching you here because the same mantle that anoints King Saul can bring him down from the throne. “Papa! It’s not easy!! In fact! Everywhere!” What? Do they know where you were fashioned from? Do they know where God cooked you? Do they know how many things you have survived? That is why men like Daniel, you can’t find them on the level of other officials. You can’t find them! Those are the people that can cause change! Amen, somebody! I love you and I believe that where God is taking you to is massive but we need to hammer this into your spirit.
Counsel 3: Choose spirituality, godliness and righteousness because your character will be tested.
Your character will be tested with money, your character will be tested with power, your character will be tested with position, your character will be tested with praise, your character will be tested with attention. Church Gist. Your character will be tested! People will take it upon themselves to let you know who you are. That is why Saul didn’t know. When Samuel rebuked him, he held the mantle but he didn’t know. He forgot! He didn’t know! Held the mantle, the mantle tore, oh! His light was torn into pieces. Choose spirituality. Romans 12.
Counsel 4: Choose hard work and excellence.
You can’t say you are choosing prosperity and you are behaving like poverty. You can’t say you are choosing prosperity and you are behaving with rascality! Choose hard work! Brutal work! Beloved! One day Daniel went to work, what greeted him in the office was death sentence on all magicians. Daniel said: “Is it? Why is he in a hurry like that? Give me till tomorrow.” That’s a kind of brutal work I’m talking about. “Give me till tomorrow, we will provide a solution to this matter! Please give me till tomorrow.” The guy went, he went into both spiritual and secular research, pressed in for light and came out the next day. Church Gist. Came the next day and say: “I’m ready to see the King.” They cannot be saying: “We don’t know!” You follow them and say: “We don’t know!” No nah! A client cannot meet you confused, “I’m in trouble, I messed up, what happened?” “This, this.” “Ah! There’s nothing we can do.” Don’t talk like that! This is your opportunity to distinguish yourself from the rest. “Wow! This is serious, alright! But let’s see what we can do, let’s get down the details. Alright! I’m going to talk to so so person and ask if something can be done on your behalf. Well I’ve talked with him, he said that it’s above him I should talk to the other person, I’ve gotten the number of this other person. Don’t say: “Ah! I have never called the head office oo, nobody knows me in the head office.” Calm down! Your voice is anointed for such a time as that. That is why somebody is visiting your brand from the head office, that’s your opportunity to know somebody and make somebody know you. They said: “Who has come?” You say: “Okay! It’s eh! So so person!” “Only God knows what they want.” No! Don’t talk like that! “Ah! He came from head office! Wow! That’s great! Let’s go and receive him.” “Abeg! I don’t have work? “Good to see you, sir! I heard you are from the head office. What a privilege having you with us.” Normal banker don’t talk: “What a privilege!” That language is too Scriptural and spiritual! “Good to have you here sir, welcome! I trust that God will give you a most fruitful time! Well done sir!”
He says: “There’s one of your people that greeted me nicely like this, tall, kind of fair, smiles a lot.” “Oh! Is it Ntia I. Ntia?” “Yes Ntia I. Ntia.” Did you want me to call your name? Call your own name by yourself! All it takes is one impression! That is all! Give God something to use and recommend you tomorrow, give God something! Your rise to the top will not follow the normal route. Watch out for those spiritual opportunities that Heaven will align in your favour, watch out! Your office directory, they have birthdays of all the key people. Everybody sees and passes; what stops you from sending somebody an SMS on the person’s birthday. What stops you! “Even if I send, do they know somebody? God?” God can keep the king awake to read a boring book. Try and read Deuteronomy, Book of Records, read Deuteronomy! Let’s see how exciting it is, very very funny. That is the kind of book the King was reading. Very boring but he was under suspension. Choose hard work, choose excellence. Your pay is not in an envelope, your pay is in a realm called glory. Philippians 4:19. Your pay is not in a voucher, your pay is in an anointing! In a realm called ‘glory’. Choose hard work! Let them say you are not being appreciated; no problem, choose hard work! Let them say all of your efforts nobody is noticing it, no problem. The God that sees in secrets will reward you in the open. Choose hard work; choose service, not status! Service! I know you are the owner of the shop, behave like a servant. You cannot carry the shop on your head! Stop sitting in the middle of the door, customers have to beg you before they can pass because say na you get the shop. You know a customer is standing there, you are still standing there talking. Until you finish before the customer will now enter. They say: “Who is that?” They say: “He’s the owner.” “So what? He’s the owner that’s why he’s blocking the road, let him carry it in his head nah? “Hello, my dear! God bless you!” One day I met somebody in the premises here many years ago. I want to see the Pastor.” I said: “Okay! Any problem? I want to see the Pastor, it’s the Pastor I want to talk to.” I said: “ Yes I know! Any challenge? Any problem at all?” “When I see the Pastor I will tell him the problem.” I was just wearing jeans and a T-shirt. “So you are sure you can’t tell?” “No!!! It’s confidential! I want to see the Pastor. I said: “Alright! Okay! Somebody will come and attend to you and let you see the Pastor.” “Pastor Umoh! Somebody there wants to see the Pastor, I was talking to the person he said he wants to see the Pastor, help him see the Pastor.” “Ah! Papa you are the Pastor nah?” I said: “No!” Then I turned my chair to back the table facing this side. I rang the bell “Come in.” The person came in, when the person came in then I turned. “What? Are you the Pastor? I said: “No! I’m not the Pastor, I am the Pastor’s lookalike” (I’m just saying that one now). In other words, don’t look for status, serve!
-Somebody, God is going to drop something on your life in these 15 days that will make your gifts irresistible!
