Pastor Timilehin Mogaji at the second service, Daystar Christian Centre on the topic: ‘START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE’
2 Kings 4:1-7
You can be born-again and you can be spirit-filled and still be physically broke because the rule that plays in business differs from the rule that plays in the spirit world. The servant of Elisha served him faithfully and yet he was broke, he was indebted to his creditors and this left his wife to battle with the creditors after his death.
Change is constant, change is imminent and whether you have a plan for change or not, change will come but we can decide how we respond to a season of change.
WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE SEASON OF CHANGE?
- Go For Revelation:
Revelation can cure every negativity, revelation is the solution to negativity. When revelation is introduced into your situation, your situation has no choice but to change. One word from God can turn your life around.
*Resources flow in the way of revelation. (2 Chronicles 20:20) - Identify What You Have:
God will not allow things to degenerate to a point where He has nothing with which He will move you to your next level of breakthrough. God will never allow things to degenerate in your lives, there will still be something positioned in your lives to ensure that when seasons of difficulty come, God will use it to transform your life and set you into your financial miracle. The devil will always want us to think that it is what we do not have that we need to move our dream into reality and he always want us to think that we always do not have enough to move our dream into reality. What you have may not be enough but it still contains the potentials for what you want. You don’t need everything to start. (2 Kings 4:2) - Discover Your Pot of Oil:
Opportunities elude us because we look too far. When you focus only on other people’s potential and success, you underestimate your own potential. Your pot of oil can be your talent, material items or your vocational skills.
- Discover Empty Vessels (2Kings 4:3):
There are people waiting for you who need what you have. Dream big and allow great things happen through you. Arise! There are empty vessels waiting to receive the unique abilities invested in your life, and these empty barrels are in health care, housing industries, agriculture, politics, entertainment and finance. Arise and go pour your oil in those empty vessels.
- Do business:
The strategic value of God’s blessing works more in contribution that in consumption. The strategic value of God’s blessing is higher in production and not in consumption. The ultimate purpose of God’s blessing is production, not consumption. If you are a consumer, three things will happen to you:
- You will be a debtor
- You will end up begging
- You will steal.
Don’t be a consumer, be a contributor. Sell something, trade for profit and God will place His blessings on it for multiplication.
PRAYER: Dear Father, open my eyes to recognize that thing that you have placed around me to move me to my next level in Jesus name.
