Theme: The Spirit of Prosperity

Reading: - 1 Timothy 1:18

Prologue and Word worth hearing

Key points

1. Dealing with being despised and despising your own self due to circumstances and environment

- Many of us have had dreams concerning their finances, either now or in the past.

- Things in life became hard that you even forgot the dreams that you received before.

- Unless you change, rise up and march forward, things will not change. The lepers refused to be comfortable and they advanced for their situation was unbearable and by their faith their story was changed. [2 Kings 7:3-20]

2. Dealing with the dependency mentality

The lepers had been dependent on those who supplied them with food. But they decided to move form where they were and they stated to move to the camp of the enemy.

Majority of us are dependent on our jobs or on other people. Do not be dependent but begin to walk to your financial Increase

- When you sit down you won't receive anything but when you begin to move you will catch up with what God has already given you.

- Do not be disadvantaged by the situation that you are in, God desires that you prosper.

- At one time King David was in the cave of Adolam surrounded and he encouraged himself, he did not pity himself but he made a life changing decision where sitting down was not an option. [1 Samuel 22]

- A good man leaves an inheritance for their grand children [Proverbs 13:22]. Have multiple streams of income as a believer, do not have the spirit of dependence, that is depending on your job for anything can happen.

3. Having the spirit of wisdom

- You need wisdom that when opportunities come you are ready to take them.

Do not be like the 5 unwise ladies virgins story who did not have oil when the master came. They did not have wisdom to understand that they needed oil to be chosen.

4. Being able to interpret opportunities

- Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dream, the 7 years of plenty came before the 7 years of drought, have the mentality and wisdom of saving up and leave an inheritance of your grandchildren.

- Have the mentality to interpret the times like the sons of Issachar [1 Chronicles 12:32]. Every situation presents an opportunity for you to prosper, be able to discern the times.

5. Have the storehouse mentality

The word says in Malachi God will pour out a blessing into your store house. If you do not have a storehouse, where will God pour our the blessing. The word further says I will give back to you pressed down and shaken together and rubbing over. If you do not have a store house, it's hard to have a running over

6. Be determined to be fruitful

- Break the cycle of poverty in your life and your family. Be determined to be fruitful and re-write your life, and you will make it because the Lord wants you to prosper.

- Be determined to move forward in life nomatter what in life, be persistent for fruitfulness

- Look at Abraham and Lot, they became so rich that the pastures could not contain both their livestock.

- If you are determined to be fruitful and act, the Lord will ensure your success like Jacob who worked in Laban's house who was very shrewd in cheating him of his wages. Though Laban was shrewd, through determination and wisdom of God, Angels facilitated Jacob to secure his inheritance and brought blessings to his credit. There was a wealth transfer into Jacob's accounts.[Genesis 31].

7. Execute action. Start that business start something..... If you can plait hair do it, if you can do events do it. Do something.
