Introduction Introduction

eloved as you read this book, the most important thing you need to do is start getting ready, prepare yourself mentally, physically, spiritual with prayers and study of the word of God. Ask the Holy Spirit to make you understand every word that is in this book. Start building your platform on social media networks, even if you don’t have any speaking engagements lined up at the moment or have a church to father. One lesson I have learnt from successful people is that you have to be a person of discipline with your time, study of the word of God and read books, listen to motivational CD and watch DVD’s that can influence you and inspire you towards your desire goal. When Favour knocks on your door INFLUENCE will come. Bishop TD Jakes can write a book today on any topic and it will sell, why? Because he has built an audience or a platform over the years and God’s flavoured favour and influence on his life can enable him sell a million copies of his book. Start now by preparing and building your own platform in whatever assignment God has given you. In whatever you do, as the Lord anoints you and blesses you with favour, get a mentor to guide 5

you, work on your speech, go for presentation skills, and get lessons on TV and Radio Etiquettes so that you know how to sit and present yourself on Television and Radio when God opens that door for you. Build relationships with people of influence and work on your communication skills with a defined vision. Develop your saltiness and develop strategic thinking. Nothing is more powerful than a renewed made up MIND to succeed. Perfect your gifts, perfect your talents, perfect your singing and specialise in your niche. When you hear the name Benny Hinn, it’s not the white suit, immediately people think of Healing. ealing When you hear the name Kenneth Haggin you think of Faith, aith Dr Mike Murdock you think of Wisdom, isdom Zig Ziglar you think of Personal Develo Development and Goal Setting. Setting. The greatest factor to influence your favour flavoured prosperity consciousness is self esteem: believing that you can do it, believing you deserve it and believing you will get it. Philippians 4:13 says,” I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me.” You need to stand believing with the “I CAN” mindset. Every day say to yourself , I can do all things. I can and will be a winner. I can and will be healthy .I can and I will be rich.

Chapter One A Favour Fla Flavoured Dream

favour flavoured dream is a substance of a great lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achievement .When God has planted a dream in you always know in your heart that no one else can accomplish it for you. You are the designer, builder, painter and finisher of your dream. Dreams and vision work hand in hand. A vision is what you expect to happen in the future.

What is your Dream? Walt Disney had a vision to start Disneyland a place where fictional places and people would tangibly come to life. Walt Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision became a reality and had his first Disneyland in California USA. Martin Luther King had a dream that lead to the change of the course of history of present day America, for the first time in the history of America a black man took over power as President of the United States that is a dream come true.

No eye has seen no ear has heard what God has prepared for those who love him. Enlarge Your Vision to Attain Attain your Dream.

Nelson Mandela had a dream to see the end of Apartheid in South Africa. Today you can walk and smile freely in the streets of South Africa as scripture has been fulfilled there is neither Greek, male or female, black or white

for we are all one in Christ Jesus. You may also have a dream, maybe you are a young man and you have a dream of marrying the Coca Cola Bottled shaped lady of your dream. Maybe you are a lady and you have a dream of marrying your Prince Charming, God will give you favour and flavour your dream to become a reality. What do you do when the battles of life continue to go on? You PRAY. Don’t lose the sense of pleasure, don’t allow yourself to become weary.

Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." When you don’t feel like giving up, then your Dream is too small but there is a solution:

Isaiah 40:30 40:30:30-31 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

You have GREATNESS within you, you have the ability to do things you have never thought or imagined, there are inventions in you, books inside you and all you need is to believe in yourself. Change your thinking and have a WINNERS MINDSET. Nothing is impossible to him that believes. ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S POSSIBLE, you can do this, and YES you can. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t base your ability by what you have done up to this point, what you have done is a drop in the ocean of what POSSIBLE for you. When you have a Winners Mindset, a sense of optimism drives you to your Unwrapped POTENTIAL. Tap into your greatness and start thinking in Pictures. There always a reward for doing something good and when you face the great pressure just know you are close to victory, know that God has put an end date. There is an end date to your Troubles. There is an end date to your Pain. There is an end date to your Financial Lack. There is an end date to your Sickness. There is an end date to your Difficulties. 10

There is an end date to your Depression. There is an end date to your Misery. There is an end date to your Poverty. You are too close to get your promotion to give up now, you are too close to being found by prince charming to give up now, you are too close to achieve your dream to give up now. Have a CAN DO mentality, when one dream dies, Dream another one. God will renew your strength according to Isaiah 40:31.

Dreams Are One of The Major Ways In Which God Speaks To Us. Us. God Speaks To Us Through The Following Ways : 1. God speaks to us through his WORD in the Bible. ( In the beginning was the word) It for this reason that you need to meditate on the word of God day and night and when you feel sick in your body confess the word, when you pass through a valley confess the work , quote Psalm 23, 1 11

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness. For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head the oil; My cup runs over. 2. God Speaks To Us Through His PROPHETS. PROPHETS

Romans 10:1310:13-15 “Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be Saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach .except they be sent? Even as it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!” 3. God speaks to us through the counsellor the HOLY SPIRIT. SPIRIT

John 16:13 “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself: but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.”

4. God Speaks To Us In DREAMS. REAMS The answer to the secret to your neighbour’s success lies in one of the four ways in which God speaks to us. When God created man he gave him an assignment in Genesis 2:15 “The lord took man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it”. You will realize here that what you own you do not possess. However, God gives us dreams for the following purpose: 1.To Direct 2.To Correct 3.To 3.To Protect There is a saying that “GOD GIVEN DREAMS IN A GOD FAVOURED MAN MAKE A GOD BLESSED WORLD”.

1. A Favour Flavoured Flavoured Dream Directs In most biblical accounts, God sent angels to appear in dreams to direct and give instructions. In Matthew 1:18-23, When Joseph found out that Mary the mother of Jesus was pregnant before marriage, because he was a righteous man he wanted to divorce her quietly. We are told that an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, 13

instructing him to take Mary as his wife because the child was conceived by the Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament Joseph the son of Jacob had a dream from God, a dream that was a direction of his life.

Genesis 37:537:5-11 “Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers, they hated him all the more. He said to them,” listen to this dream I had: we were binding sheaves of grain out of the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it”. In verse 9 “Then he had another dream and he told his brothers. Listen, he said,” I had another dream and this time the sun and the moon and the eleven stars were bowing down to me.” When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said,” what is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come to bow down to the ground before you? His brothers were jealous of him but his father kept the matter in mind. You may have a dream of becoming who you have always wanted to be our heavenly father will keep YOU in MIND. Don’t give up your Dream. In Genesis 37:19 “Here comes the dreamer! They said to each other.” come now let’s kill him and throw him into one of those cisterns and say that ferocious animal devoured him. Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.” Verse 25-28 “ 14

As they sat down to eat their meal they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, Their camels were loaded with spices, balm and myrrh, and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt. Judah said to his brothers,” what will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up him blood? Come lets sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all he is our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed. So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. However, Joseph’s dream became a reality despite the challenges he faced with his brothers to a point where they even sold him as a slave. In Egypt Joseph utilised his God given favoured gifts and talent of interpreting dreams . At one time he was in charge of Potiphars household, because he was well-built and a handsome man, Potiphars wife came to Joseph many times and wanted him to sleep with her. But he refused, one day as he went for duty she caught him by his cloak and said “come to bed with me.” But he left his cloak in her hands and ran out of the house. When she saw that he had left his cloak she cooked up a story that Joseph came in the house and wanted to sleep with her. Joseph was sent to prison and while in custody he interpreted dreams of the cupbearer and the baker of King Pharaoh. He told the cupbearer 15

that his job would be restored and asked them to remember him when his freedom was granted. Joseph was able to even interpret Pharaohs dream and that saw him rise up the ladder and become in charge of the whole land Egypt. It was at this time that there was a famine in the land and Jacob his Father sent his brothers to come and buy grain from Egypt. As Governor of the land he was in charge of selling grain to people and when his brothers came to buy grain, they bowed down before him (fulfilling what he had earlier told them in his dream). When Joseph revealed himself to his brothers he asked for his Father Jacob to come to Egypt, that news even reached Pharaoh who became in favour of Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father coming to Egypt. When you have a dream, there is a price to pay, it might not be the same encounter like Joseph had ,but know that whatever challenges, obstacles, rebukes and discouragements you may get from close family and friends it is just a stepping stone to your dream.

2. A Favour Flavoured Dream Brings Brings Correction

Dreams help us correct a situation and one of your neighbours attribute to their secret success maybe that their dreams correct them way in advance before making any decisions. There was an account by one of the Bible heroes Abraham the father of many nations ,who is respected today by many religions. You might know that Kings love beautiful women, even Kings in Africa today and some Presidents love beautiful women to add on the list of wives. When Abraham lied to King Abimelech that Sarah was his sister, after King Abimelech took Sarah and wanted her for himself. In Genesis 20:3, 20:3 “God came to Abimelech in a dream one night and said to him, You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken: is a married woman”. We see here that God sometimes speaks to us in dreams to CORRECT situations and not let us do wrong.

3. A Favour Flavoured Dream Protects Dreams express the creative power of God, Pharaoh had a dream that Joseph interpreted to protect the land and prepare for future famine.

Genesis 41:141:1-7 “When two full years had passed Pharaoh had a dream: he was standing by the Nile, when out of the river there came out seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds. 17

After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank. And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up. He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of grain, healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk. After them seven other heads of grain sprouted-thin and scorched by the east wind. The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy, full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up; it had been a dream.” The chief cupbearer remembered Joseph who had interpreted their dream together with the baker. When Joseph was brought in to Pharaoh from prison, God gave Joseph the meaning of the dream; he said to Pharaoh the two dreams are one and the same.

Genesis 41:2641:26-30 “ The seven good cows are the seven years ,and the seven gold heads of grain are the seven years; The seven lean of ugly cows that came afterward are the seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched but the east wind: they are seven years of famine. It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt, but seven years of famine will follow them” From the above account we can see that God sometimes warns us and protects us by revealing what is to happen in the future through dreams. 18

My prayer is may we all have God given dreams so that we can save this world from the enemyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deceitâ&#x20AC;?.

Chapter Two Favour .

What Is Favour? Favour is being able to cope with hard and difficult times. Favour is learning from moments of persecution. Favour is growing in moments of test and trials. Favour will revel to you and gives you the ability to deal with sacrifice in times of test and trials. Acts 7:10 â&#x20AC;&#x153; And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his houseâ&#x20AC;?

Powers That That Influence Favour Psalm 102:13 “You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favour to her; the appointment time has come” It’s a set time. Psalm 37:29 “The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it for ever.” Understanding the change of season triggers favour. Certain plants grow in different seasons. Understanding God is a God of time. Time will favour you when it’s your time. All things are beautiful in its own time. Time will bring a blessing. Change/Choice

“In a time of rapid change, standing still is the most dangerous course of action.” —Brian Tracy “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I… I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference.” —Robert Frost

“Lasting change is possible only when the need for change is both understood and internalized.” —Denis Waitley

“The time is always right to do what is right.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

“Between stimulus and response, one has the freedom to choose.” —Stephen Covey “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” —Mohandas Gandhi “The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.” —Nathaniel Braden “Whether you are a success or failure in life has little to do with your circumstances; it has much more to do with your choices!” —Nido Qubein “What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.” —Aristotle “We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation.” —Jim Rohn John 15:16 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the father will give you whatever you ask in my name.” 23

Understanding the Blessing of Abraham and its implication will trigger favour. I declare in this season you will trigger favour with your worship and seed in Jesus name. Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem will make you prosper and have favour.. When you work in unity, you trigger favour. Husband and wife who are in unity succeed because of unity. Favour comes when you are united. Generational anointing triggers Favour. When you plan long term you generationally inherit the blessings.. Faith is a favour trigger. Hebrews 11:6 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without faith it is impossible to please himâ&#x20AC;? Working hard and smart triggers favour. You trigger favour when you hang around people who are walking in Favour. Noah walked in Favour Abraham Had Favour upon his life. Isaac walked in Favour. Jacob walked in Favour. Joseph walked in Favour. David walked in Favour. Solomon walked in Favour. Deuteronomy 33:23 24

“And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, And full with the blessing of Jehovah, Possess thou the west and the south.” Exodus 3:21 “And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.”

What Are Some Laws That Help Manifest A Favour Flavoured Flavoured Dream? 1. The Law of Giving and Receiving -Helps Manifest Your Favour Flavoured Dream.

Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” 2. The Law Of Supply -Helps Manifest Your Favour Flavoured Dream

Philippians 4:19 25

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” It’s high time you understood that your job is not your source ,your boss is not your source, your husband or wife are not your source , your family is not your source and your parents are not your source , GOD is your source. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the creator of everything, he is your source. Most of the times we are hurt by our friends and family fail to give us want we want. If you have a dream no one will fulfil it for you only yourself by believing in God that it’s possible. When you have a dream you have to look to the altar for directions. 3. Law Of Attraction -Helps Manifest Your Favour Flavoured Dream

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

You can only please God when you have faith, Hebrew 11:6 says “without faith its impossible to please him”. So you need to have a favour flavoured big dream by faith. 4. The Of Obedience -Helps Manifest Your Favour Flavoured Dream

Deuteronomy 28:1 “And

it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth”. 5. The Law Of SacrificeSacrifice- Helps Manifest Your Favour Flavoured Dream.. Hebrews 13:15 “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. TIME The time you give to others and serve is a sacrifice that triggers a favour flavoured dream. 27

OFFERING Your giving to the Lord and other people triggers a favour flavoured dream. TITHE Malachi 3:8-11 8Will

a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. Robbing God The Father is very clear in his word in Proverbs 23v15â&#x20AC;&#x153;My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad.â&#x20AC;? Prosperity is a covenant message with God, it is not 28

automatic that when you give you will receive (there are conditions that one should obey to receive from God), but it is the covenant giving from the heart that moves God not the giving with a motive. The passionate love of God is the anchor to your prosperity many today give because of trying to show others that they are the best givers in church or society and even boast about their giving. Do you think such a person will receive from God? There is a scripture that says when you give with the right hand or the left let not the other hand know you have given, in other words give with a willing heart not to impress the pastor or people and then when you give keep quiet about it (Shut up). There are some people who keep record of what they have given to a person or the church and it is very evident even in relationships or marriages when people break up, there are those that claim everything they gave their partners when love was in the air (bring back the car and the house I gave you in 24 hours or else you shall die). What guarantee do you 29

give the church that one day when you are leaving the church you won’t say “ eh me I was a great giver , I bought this and that for the church “ even threaten to beat up the servant of God if they fail to pay you back for your giving. Respect for servants of God is not optional. 6. Law of ThinkingThinking- Helps Manifest You Favour Flavoured Dream.. Proverbs says “As a man thinketh in his hearts so is he.” What we think and predominately think becomes manifest in our lives. You influence thinking by knowing want you really want. You need to start thinking of who you want to be, what you want to do and what you expect to achieve by thinking in pictures.

Ephesians 3:20 “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”

Joshua 1:8

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” THINK, THINK, PROSPERITY, PROSPERITY, WISDOM , BUSINESSES, FLYING YOUR OWN PLANE, THINK MARRIAGE. MARRIAGE. 7. Law of Forgiveness - Helps Manifest Your Favour Flavoured Dream. When you forgive others our heavenly father also forgives us thus Favour manifests in our lives.

Mathew 6:146:14-15 “For

if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” When you forgive someone, you let go completely and never remind that person again who transgressed against you. When you don’t forgive you actually hurt yourself. Jesus says you should forgive 7 x77 times, that is letting go completely. 31

Excise 1. Get a piece of plain paper. 2. Write on the piece of paper all the names of people you have not forgiven. 3. Pray and ask God to give you the grace and peace for every name you have written to enable you forgive them. 4. Tier the piece of paper and say the words â&#x20AC;&#x153; I FORGIVE YOUR IN JESUS NAME AMENâ&#x20AC;?. AMEN

Declaration: I declare that God fills your basket with Favour as you forgive all those that have hurt you over the years in Jesus Name. I declare that you shall be delivered from Poverty in Jesus Name. I declare that you shall be delivered from Pain in Jesus Name. I declare that you shall be delivered from Sickness in Jesus Name. I declare that you shall be delivered from Debt in Jesus Name. 32

I declare that God allows a Paradigm shift of Favour in Jesus Name. I declare that that you shall be blessed pressed 33

down and running over because favour is coming around in Jesus Name. I declare that you will walk in Favour. God is lifting up men and women with Favour. Psalm 5:12 “For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favour as with a shield.” If you are seeking first the kingdom you shall have favour. Psalm 55:22 “Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Favour will cause you to be sustained in times of death and trouble. God is raising up women in nations with Favour Prayer, Faith, and obedience triggers favour.

Three People That Experience Favour Job Obedidam 34

Joseph

Job Had Favour Job's end was better, God will give you double for your trouble. No matter what the enemy brings, the bible says when the enemy come like a flood the spirit of the lord will raise a standard against it.

Obedidam When the Ark of Covent was in his house, Favour can and he was blessed. There a Fat Flavour favoured anointing. Yesterday you had no church to preach in but now Favour has come upon you and every ministry wants you to Preach for them.

When Favour Favour Comes: Comes: God will raise you up. God opens doors for Promotion. Favour Is Your: Guide in Jesus name. Portion in Jesus name. Season in Jesus name.

Joseph He begins his journey with favour. Joseph had a garment of Favour from his young age. Joseph's favour brought him in a place of overseeing Portifars life. Genesis 39:5 “ And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.” Genesis 41:41-47 “And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. 42 And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; 43 and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he set him over all the land of Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt. 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt. 46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh King of Egypt. And Joseph 36

went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. 47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. Joseph had the Favour, Right now declare that “God give me Favour.”A friend of mine wrote a Book Living by Faith and he blessed someone with it and Favour come. He gave a book out and God manifested and released Favour and the man who read the book blessed him with a Car. The principles of giving and receiving are real. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Seven Laws That Affect Favour 1. The Law of Integrity.

Chapter Three Provoking Favour

od sometimes does not bless you because the plans are just from you. God wants you to have a plan that goes beyond human understanding. People who succeed sleep less. God will bless the works of your hands. Decide today to be an icon to represent possibilities of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favour in your life because God marked you for supernatural and unprecedented favoured life blessings from the time you were in your motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womb.

Powers That That Trigger Curses 1. Bitterness and Anger triggers spells and curses. Bitterness is not for a child of God. Don't 43

amber bitterness and anger. Release anger and bitterness against yourself. Whether you aborted, killed, Stole or not released yourself and forgive. The blood of Jesus has washed us the old has gone and the new has come. 2. Family Ties - Wrong things families did can halt you. Refuse and cut off family ties that are wrong and release a blessing to your family. Gain blessing from your ancestors. 3. Leaving in the Past mistakes. 4.

Chapter Four Prophecy Confirms Favour 1 Chronicles 20:20 â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in Jehovah your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.â&#x20AC;? A Spirit of Prophesy Deals with the control of your environment. God wants you to be the gift of destiny flowing into dimensions of priesthood.

Types of Dimensions: 1. Faith Dimension 2. Light Dimension 3. Revelation and Truth Dimension 45

4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Power Dimension Life Dimension Kings Dimension Healing and Miracles Dimension Prosperity Dimension Prophetic Dimension

I shall deal with the prophetic dimension. The prophetic is like a flow of water.

Manifestation of Water 1. Mist â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Represents a Global view of your ministry or assignment. 2. Dwell - Represents Water-Water your vision daily with the word of God. 3. Rain - Always speaks of blessing. 4. Rivers - Speaks of the prophetic move of the Holy Spirit in your life. When you enter into a river that is flowing, you shall manifest the transfer of wealth. 5. Wells - Brings a generational blessing. 6. Seas - Fresh water Seas you walk on like Jesus did and Salt Water Seas you walk through. Moses parted salty waters. Success is measured by obedience and raising a successor. Success is based on walking with God. You may have been waiting for a chance, but God is giving you a choice to succeed. You may have 46

been a beggar and rejected by your family, but God made you pass through rejection so that he can accept you. Last year you were looking for money so that you can buy something to eat, but this year you will be looking for a Restaurant to eat from as God gives you a favour flavoured blessing pressed down and running over in Jesus name. Ezekiel walked in the prophetic. Wet Feet is a sign of apostolic release, Jesus washed the disciples to launch them for ministry. Wet Knees are wells meaning entering into a season where answers come to pass. Wiping may endure for a night buy joy shall comes in the morning. It takes pray to release a break through, Elijah prayed seven times and when his knees got wet a season of manifestation came, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not by power nor by mighty it by his spirit says the Lord. Whatever you pray for believe that you shall receive and it shall be so. Wasted River brings productivity, I know you are pregnant with something and your labour pains are about to manifest and a baby shall be delivered in your life in Jesus name. Bareness is being kicked out in your life in Jesus name.

Sarah your Isaac is coming. Hannah your Samuel is coming. Beersheba your Solomon is coming. Marry your Jesus is coming. Elizabeth your John is coming. Your business shall flourish and prosper. Your husband is coming. Your wife is coming. Your ministry will manifest.

Zech 1:18 “Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of Johan’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he will make an end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the land.” Follow after Charity and love, instead of being judgemental. CONFESSION of the word, declare those things that are not as though they are. Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

Who Is A Prophet? A Prophet is a man appointed by God to be his spokesman here on earth.

Deuteronomy 18:18

“I will raise for them a prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put my works in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that i command him.” Prophets are the second appointed as leaders in the body of Christ who are there to edify the church about the Kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 12:28 “And God appointed these in the church first Apostles, second PROPHETS, third Teachers, after that miracles, then gift of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.” Prophets will know people’s hearts because God shows them. A Prophet is an office bearer in the Body of Christ and a Prophet is a speaker for God. A Prophet can bind and curse someone if God says so.

1 Corinthians 14:39 “Wherefore brethren desire earnestly to prophecy and do not forbid to speak with tongues.” It is your right to prophecy on your life for good health, good prosperous business, cut any generations sickness that runs in your family.

What Is Prophecy? Prophecy is Rewinding the future or time by speaking in time and it cannot be done without an offering and paying your attention to God. Prophecy can be provoked and the spirit of Prophecy is in Jesus Christ. Prophecy will give you the ability to fight better in the spirit and prophecy looks into the invisible and sees the untouchable. Father thank you, Jesus thank you and Holy Ghost thank you for prophecy that brings manifestation of your favour flavoured favour. The obedience you give will determine how you live. If you have no prophetic gifting don't force it but meditate on the word of God as prophecy will position, release and manifest your favour, gifts and talents. Prophecy can even tell you bad things like you are going to die. A Prophet says amen, you shall not die. Prophecy is done by grace and the grace of God gives a solution. When there is a prophet around, a solution is found. If the prophet says you will die he will also give you a solution of how you won't die. There no powerful prophet only a powerful God. There is no powerful healer only a Powerful 50

healing God. How much you pray and there is a boldness that comes when you are a prophet. The Best time to pray for a prophetic revelation is between 12am to 5am and the more you worship God the more you will know the prophetic mind. Midnight is the master gate for your breakthrough. The Jewish people have been trained to think prophetically and wherever they go in the world they prophecy and think prophetically. In turn they speak and own businesses. They have a thought pattern to unlimited wealth and it’s evident that Jewish people have the favour flavoured favour and own most real estates and business around the world. There is time in your life when you need a solution or looking for things, you don’t have to go to a Sangomas ( Witch Doctors) , you go to a Prophet of God.

1 Samuel 9:9 (Formerly in Israel when a man went to inquire of God, he spoke thus: come, let us go to the Seer” for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a Seer.) Not all Seers are prophets and not all prophets are Seers. Nathan was not a Seer but a prophet, 51

Gad was a Seer. Moses was a 95% prophet, he saw Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glory and creation of all things thus he wrote the book of Genesis. Daniel was 75 % Prophet, Jesus is 100% Prophet he fulfils the past and the present. The higher your rating in your prophetic rating is, the more you are remembered. We remember Jesus because of his high rating in the prophetic realm. Prophecy every day, the more you use your gift the more you are going to grow in it. These days we have to pray for a spirit of discernment because of the many FALSE prophets that have emerged. Fast and pray to increase your rating!

Chapter Five Understand The Blessing of Abraham

ost Christians today are wondering as to why they are not living in supernatural abundance. Statistics show that about 40% of Christians today are living under heavy debt. Well the secret is in knowing that if you are in Christ then you qualify for Abraham’s Seed and you are entitled to inherit a blessing right now by faith. The bible tell us that,” Faith is the assurance if things that we hope for, the evidence of things not seen”( Hebrews 11:1) and that without Faith , it’s impossible to please God ( Hebrews 11:6). In other word whatever you desire, you only receive it by Faith. You are entitled to have: 53

Silver Businesses Gold Property Stop depending on people, don’t look to people to supply your needs, stop depending on your salary and start depending on God. Your company is not your source, your husband is not your source, your father and mother are not your source, God is your source and he will meet every need you have got. Have you ever wondered at your work place, you might be earning a bigger salary than all your other colleges in your community, but you fail to even buy yourself a car? You might be in the same business with other people and find that they sell their products MORE and you don’t, well what you need is FAVOUR from God. The curses that came to man are the curses of Poverty, Sickness and Death. Death But let’s look at the curse of poverty that you and I have been redeemed from through Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:133:13-14 “Christ

redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung 54

on a pole.â&#x20AC;? 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spiritâ&#x20AC;? God called out Abraham and made a covenant with him in Genesis 15.

What Did God Promise Promise Abraham? Abraham was not born again so he did not receive a spiritual blessing, but he received a Material Blessing Blessing. lessing When Jesus came we received a Spiritual Blessing Blessing. lessing The blessing of Abraham was a material blessing.

Genesis 12 1Now

the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 4So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. 5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land 55

of Canaan they came. 6And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto 8And You have already been him. he removed from thence anointed prayed for, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unto a mountain on time to rise up and take the east of Bethel, what is rightfully yours. and pitched his tent, MAKE A MOVE. It does having Bethel on the not matter what church west, and Hai on the you Go to or who east: and there he preaches the best builded an altar unto the LORD, and called message, what we need in upon the name of the this decade is to see a LORD. 9And Abram demonstrational change journeyed, going on the lives of people and still toward the see people live in there south. 10And abundance, total health, was a famine in the land: and Abram went good jobs, wonderful down into Egypt to marriages and people who sojourn there; for the will come out of famine was grievous RELIGION and live a life of in the land. 11And it Christ. came to pass, when JESUS IS LORD he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his 56

wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: 12Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. 13Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. 14And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 15The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 16And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. 17And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. 18And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 19Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 20And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

The First Thing God Said To Abraham was: 1.

I Will Make You Into A Great Nation.

Abraham was the first Hebrew person, and God birthed the nation of Israel through him. If you study all the Scriptures, you will find that God 57

said to Abraham, "I will multiply you, increase you, and make you powerful!"

That's what God wants to do in your life. This is your legacy and your inheritance. God wants to increase you in every area. He wants to increase your finances. Genesis 12:1 The Call of Abram 1

The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. This shows us that we need to come out of dependence of the world economic system and start depending on God’s heavenly system. God is our source of every good thing that has ever happened to you. James 1:17 declares that every good and perfect gift comes from above. God will make you into a great nation:

Genesis Genesis 12:212:2-5 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you;I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” 4 So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with 58

him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there. See: Genesis 15:5 “And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” Genesis 17:2 “And

I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly” Genesis 18:8 “And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat” Genesis 18:19 “For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him”

Deuteronomy 26:5 “Then you shall declare before the LORD your God: “My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down into Egypt with a few people and lived there and became a great nation, powerful and numerous” God wants to make you great and multiply what you have just like He did for Abraham. 2.

I Will Will Bless You.

The Amplified Bible says, "I will bless you with an abundant increase of favours." Abraham was blessed with abundance. In fact, Genesis 24:1 bible says that Abraham was blessed in every way. I love that!

What Were His Blessings? Abraham was very wealthy in livestock, silver and gold. He wasn't rich when God first called him, but he became rich because of the blessing of God upon his life. The Blessing of Abraham will make you have Gold and Silver.

Genesis 12:612:6-10 60

“ Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring[c] I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him. 8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD. 9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.”

Abram in Egypt “ Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe. 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know what a beautiful woman you are.” God will show you a land that is needy, with famine, in shortage, that is hurting, direct you to things that you will say Lord is this really the place? The blessing is meant to make good to places that look beaten down. God will always lead you to a place that looks like there is shortage but that is the land for your blessing. The place of severe shortage is where God wants you to manifest the Abrahamic blessing. That is the mechanism he uses for you to have access to the blessing. Call things that are not as though they are, whatever situation you are in today, you are just a prophet in training , God will make

a way for you and inherit the Abrahamic blessing.

Genesis 12:1212:12-20 “When

the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.” 14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a very beautiful woman. 15 And when Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. 16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels. 17 But the LORD inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. “What have you done to me?” he said. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!” 20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.”

God called Abraham to serve him and leave his father’s house to a new land he showed him. God will show you a land you need to settle in to redeem your inheritance. The Law of Moses came because of transgression but that law is no longer with us through Jesus. Jesus who was rich became poor so that we may be Rich. ich Say I’m RICH, RICH , RICH, RICH!

2 Corinthians 8:9 “For

you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.”

Genesis 13:2 “And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.”

Deutoronomy Deutoronomy 8:18 “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.”

Romans 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 63

-Abraham He also had great favour. The people said to him, "You are a mighty prince among us." God can supernaturally elevate you to places of favour and influence. Psalm 75:6 says that promotion comes from God. -Abraham's son was abundantly blessed. When Abraham died, he left everything to Isaac, but the Bible says that God blessed Isaac in his own right. In one year, he reaped 100-fold on his crops, and he became very wealthy. You can pass the blessings down, but God also has additional blessings for your children. He wants them to increase even more!

Genesis 25:5 “Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac”

Genesis 26:1226:12-14 “Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him. 13 The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. 14 He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.” Abraham received material blessings that he didn't have to work for. Psalm 105:44 says, "Abraham fell heir to what others had toiled for." We've got to get a hold of this! The Bible says the wealth of the sinners or the wicked is passed on to the just! 64

Proverbs 13:22 “A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.” God can bless you with things that you don't even have to work for or deserve. Deuteronomy 6:11 says that “He will give you houses that you did not build, wells that you did not dig, and vineyards that you did not plant.”

Deuteronomy 6:11 “And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full” 3.

I Will Make Your Name Great. Great.

The Amplified Bible says in Genesis 12:2, "I will make your name famous and distinguished." Everywhere Abraham went, people knew him. His reputation preceded him and followed him. He was a mighty prince. He was highly favoured of God! God will enlarge you and make your name great just as he did for Abraham. 65

You Will Will Be A Blessing.

This is where the phrase "we are blessed to be a blessing" comes from. One of the main reasons God wants us to have more than enough is so we can bless and help others. God wants us to be generous. He wants us to be so blessed that we can give to those in need. He wants us to share our blessings.

In Genesis 25:525:5-11 “Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac. 6 But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east. 7 Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years. 8 Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people. 9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, 10 the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites.[a] There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah. 11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who then lived near Beer Lahai Roi.” Abraham gave Isaac the Blessing plus everything he owned. God led Isaac to a place of severe shortage. Anything God tells you to do becomes a commandment.

Genesis 26:1 26:1-6 66

Isaac and Abimelek “ Now there was a famine in the land—besides the previous famine in Abraham’s time—and Isaac went to Abimelek king of the Philistines in Gerar. 2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. 3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. 4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring[a] all nations on earth will be blessed,[b] 5 because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions.” 6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar.”

Deuteronomy 28:128:1-2 Blessings for Obedience “If

you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God”. The key to God’s blessing is obedience and the anointing to get wealth is on you right now. 5.

I Will Will Bless Those Who Who Bless You. You. 67

When people bless you and help you, God will bless them. Your favour will rub off on them. Every person who touches your life in a positive way will receive a touch from God. That's how blessed we are. 6.

I Will Will Curse Those Who Curse Curse You. You.

God is serious. He is not going to bless anyone who opposes you. He said, "I will be an enemy to your enemies and I will oppose those who oppose you. Deuteronomy 28:7 says, "The enemy that rises up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven." God is going to stand with you when people talk against you or mistreat you. He said to David, "Don't touch my anointed and do them no harm. He belongs to Me!" Well, you belong to Him! Exodus 23:22 “If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.”

1 Chronicles 16:22 “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”

All The The People Of Of The Earth Will Be Blessed Through Through You. You.

Wherever you go, people will be blessed. When you show up, God shows up, blessings show up and favour shows up. You might be thinking, "How can I bless people all over the world?" I'll tell you how in a major way. When you tithe your income to your local church, you are a part of sending the Gospel all over the world. If you give to this ministry, you are literally touching millions by being a part of bringing our television program to people who have never heard the Gospel.

Galatians 3:263:26-29 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abrahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seed, and heirs according to the promise. The scripture in Galatians 3:28 is a confirmation that God is no respecter of persons, it does not 69

matter how fat, short, black or white you are, as long as you are in Christ you qualify to receive the seed of Abraham which is a material blessing. This means that you were marked to be rich. When Abram heard that his relative Lot had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Hobah.

Genesis 14:1514:15-24 “ During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.16 He recovered all the goods and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people. 17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). 18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, 19 and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.20 And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything. 21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.” 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “With raised hand I have sworn an oath to the LORD, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, 23 that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made 70

Abram rich.’ 24 I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me—to Aner, Eshkol and Mamre. Let them have their share.” God had tithe before the Law of Moses. When Abraham heard that Lot was taken captive he pursued them and attacked and got possession from the people he defeated. He then tithed to Melchizedek , tithing is a covenant connector to divine prosperity and this was before the law on tithing. In Genesis chapter 4, Cain and Abel brought and offering. Tithing was in the Garden of Eden. Tithing is a law of prosperity; it’s a way God releases supernatural power into his people lives to prosper. Tithing is a benefit to you it’s a way God releases his supernatural into your life.

In Genesis 24:3424:34-35 we read: “So

he said, “I am Abraham’s servant. 35 The LORD has blessed my master abundantly, and he has become wealthy. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.” If you covert these items into today’s language Abraham was a very wealthy man. 71

Roman 10:1210:12-13 ”For

there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Saved in Greek means, you shall be delivered from lack, sickness, debt. You shall call upon him.

Roman 10:1410:14-15 “How,

then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written:“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” You are the seed of Abraham and the anointing of wealth is on you in Jesus name.

Acts 10:3410:34-35 “Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favouritism 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.” God is no respecter of person, he will bless you with the blessing of Abraham, it does not matter 72

what size, colour, nation or where you are right now. Receive the blessing in Jesus name.

Genesis 28:128:1-4 “So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him: “Do not marry a Canaanite woman. 2 Go at once to Paddan Aram,[a] to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel. Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.3 May God Almighty[b] bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples. 4 May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now reside as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.” If you are in Christ you are Abraham’s seed and you shall receive the blessing by faith. Genesis 32:10-11 (Jacob talking) “I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps. 11 Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me, and also the mothers with their children.”

Chapter Six Christ Redeemed Redeemed Us

he curse of poverty came to us through the sin of Adam, but Jesus came as the last Adam as he gave his life as a ransom for many. Jesus came so that we can be restored back to God. God promises are not based on us being perfect but through belief in his word. Real faith comes when righteousness is maintained.

Galatians 3:133:13-14 “Christ

redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[a] 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. 75

Romans 4:134:13-25 It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless, 15 because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression. 16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[c] He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. 18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[d] 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” 23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.”

It’s through the anointing of the blessing of Abraham by faith; faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God.

What Keeps Us Out of The The Blessings? The answer is in Romans 12:112:1-2

A Living Sacrifice 1

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. We need to renew our minds.

Revelations 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. Satan has deceived the whole world, but it’s time for you to raise up and study the word concerning

your life. You are a royal priesthood a peculiar person marked for favour flavoured favour.

Ephesians 2:12:1-10 Made Alive in Christ 1

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 6:106:10-20 The Armour of God 10

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand 78

against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

You need to use God’s ability to stand against the enemy. You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free to become a billionaire today. Renew your mind with meditation upon the word of God through repetition. JESUS IS LORD JESUS IS LORD JESUS IS LORD JESUS IS LORD JESUS IS LORD 79

JESUS IS LORD

2 Timothy 2 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Job 1 Prologue Prologue 1

In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters, 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East. 4 His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom. 6 One day the angels[a] came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan[b] also came with them. 7 The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.” 8 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.” 9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he 80

has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.” 12 The LORD said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. 13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, 15 and the Sabeans attacked and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” 16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” 17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” 18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 19 when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” 20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 21 and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.[c] The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.” 22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

God will permit what you permit; God will allow what you will allow. God does not want you to be tempted.

Matthew 6:96:9-15 9

“This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation,[a] but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’ 14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

James 1:21:2-18 Trials and Temptations 2

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. 9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while 82

they go about their business. 12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. 13 When tempted, no one should say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;God is tempting me.â&#x20AC;? For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. 16 Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

God is Love. Love.

Hebrews 12:112:1-6 1

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. God Disciplines His Children. 4

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you 83

as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, 6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a]

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation[c] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[d] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[e] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Matthew 4:1 4:1:1-11 Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness 1

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” 4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]” 7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” 10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e]” 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. 84

James 5:135:13-20 The Prayer of Faith 13

Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. 17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. 19 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

Psalm 34:19 19

The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; 85

God will not make you rich not because of your education, he will bless you out of obedience. Peter an expert in fishing did not catch fish until Jesus told him to cast the net in shallow waters. The blessing of Abraham is on you, you got to rise up and do something. Does what God tell you to do on a daily basis? The reason you have got a job is because you are being trained to get up in the morning, a Job is a Babylonians system but work came from God. He will bless the works of your hands.

Chapter Seven Seven A Favour Flavoured Future

s we celebrate a changes of years, it has to be years of effective productivity and do what you could have done in 5 years in one year. How do you face the future with far less confidence of a favour flavoured person? There no need for anyone to worry about anything because of the following favour flavoured issues. 1. The future of a person is within that person. An apple seed is the future of an apple tree. An egg is the future for a chicken. 87

2. The future existed before the present, the future is pre-existing, and whatever you are passing through is behind God. 3. The future is unmanifested purpose. 4. The future of a product is the manufacturers past. When you want to build a house until its finished, first before you build in that the government would want to see the architectural work (visual structure), plumbing, plans, plant and the materials to be used. The future of a house is the builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past. The future is unreleased destiny. Whatever you are going through is not your future. 5. The future is un released destiny. 6. The future is your predestination. 7. The future is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past. Nothing is new with God and nothing surprises God that you past through. 8. The future is the end that is trapped in the beginning.

Principles of The Future In The Present 88

1. Your future is not ahead of you, it’s trapped within you. 2. You posses your future not later but now. Every day, week, month and every year a portion of your future manifests. 3. God is committed to your future he has put in your present. God has everything in place and people to help you work your future. 4. Your future is more important than your past. It does not matter how important your past is don’t live there. 5. Your future is more valuable than your past. Stop boasting of your past, so you got a degree in the past so what you can have a PhD in the future. You have failed in many things that is why it’s your past history. 6. Your future is more important than your past because you can control your future but you cannot do a thing in your past. Jesus came to forgive your past and savage your future. You are not free until you can talk about your past and smile or people find out about your past. Jesus forgives your past. In Psalm 57 David Says “I cry unto 89

God who fulfils my purpose”. Paul says “It no longer I that liveth but Christ in me the hope of glory”. 7. The past is future lived. 8. The past is dead except for the life you give it. Stop bringing up your past God says “I don’t ever remember it, I washed you with the blood, forgave you and it’s been dumped in the sea of forgetfulness. 9. You cannot live in your future if you live in the past. 10. You cannot change your future if you live in the past. 11. Every day you create a past. Paul Says “Forgetting those things that are in the past I press on.” Ephesians 3:20 “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”

Fear of The The Past 1. Lack of Knowledge – we are afraid of what we don’t know. 90

2. Uncertainty - we are afraid of what we are not sure of. 3. The Unknown - we afraid of what might happen. 4. Past Failures – we keep remembering what we failed in and that make us not try again. 5. Negative Experiences – can cause fear. 6. Dependence On Self – can cause fear. 7. Dependence On Your Own Resources – can cause fear. 8. Pear Pressure – Waiting for others to approve your dream. 9. Social Conformity – we try to be socially confirmed because of you waiting to do things others have never done before but being discouraged by family. 10. The Need For Acceptance - wanting people to like you. No matter what you are facing today, you can grow bigger than that problem because God has marked you to live in a FAVOUR FLAVOURED FAVOUR.

Chapter Eight Dream Big And And Set Goals Goals

know that goal setting will help you change your life for the better, it will help you get what you really want from life. And when you do, that’s reason for all of us to celebrate! Whether you’re already a goal setter, you used to set goals and quit, or you’ve never set goals, this lesson will help you build a better life.

Step 1 Dream! Let your imagination run wild while you fill up a blank sheet of paper with everything you want to be, do or have. Many adults have lost their ability to dream and that’s unfortunate. By dreaming you instil hope for your future, and with hope there’s possibility. So your assignment 93

this week is to dream. During this next week devote at least two private sessions to dreaming. I want you to create a Dream List filled with ideas. Your list should include at least 25 dreams about what you want to be, do or have. 1................................................................................ 2................................................................................ 3................................................................................ 4................................................................................ 5................................................................................ 6................................................................................ 7................................................................................ 8................................................................................ 9................................................................................ 10.............................................................................. 11.............................................................................. 12.............................................................................. 13.............................................................................. 94

14.............................................................................. 15.............................................................................. 16.............................................................................. 17.............................................................................. 18.............................................................................. 19.............................................................................. 20.............................................................................. 21.............................................................................. 22.............................................................................. 23.............................................................................. 24.............................................................................. 25..............................................................................

Step 2 After you complete your list, wait 24 to 48 hours and read each item on your list and answer the question: Why? If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t verbalize in one sentence why you want to be, do or have this 95

dream, then it’s not a dream and it won’ become a goal. Cross it off your list.

Step 3 Ask the following five questions of every dream on the Dream List you created last week. 1. Is it really MY goal? 2. Is it morally right and fair to everyone concerned? 3. Is it consistent with my other goals? 4. Can I emotionally commit myself to finish this goal? 5. Can I “see” myself reaching this goal? You must answer “yes” to all five questions for each goal, or cross that goal off your list. Here are some points to ponder: Is it really MY goal or is it a goal someone else wants me to pursue? Is it the right thing to do? Will achieving this goal distract from achieving other goals?

Goals are often difficult to achieve. Are you sure you can make the commitment to pursue this goal and see it through? If you can’t “see” yourself reaching this goal, you probably won’t. Take time during this week to think about the questions above and answer them. Once you’re finished, your Dream List will probably be a bit shorter than when you started out. That’s okay because you’re now closer to identifying the goals that you really will pursue and can achieve.

Step 4: Ask the following seven questions of every dream that remains on your Dream List (or goals list). Will reaching this goal: 1. Make me happier? 2. Make me healthier? 3. Make me more prosperous? 4. Win me more friends? 5. Give me peace of mind? 6. Make me more secure? 7. Improve my relationships with others?

If you can’t answer “Yes” to at least one of these questions for each goal, eliminate that goal from your list. Be sure to consider your family when you answer these questions. And do not confuse pleasure with happiness!

Step 5: After asking the questions posted in Step 4 you will have eliminated some of your goals. Actually, they were not goals, just thoughts or desires at this point, so you’re better off without them. Separate your remaining list of goals into one of three categories: Short-range (one month or less to achieve this goal), Intermediate (one month to one year to achieve this goal), or Long-range (one year or more to achieve this goal). This step will help you quickly determine whether or not you have a balanced perspective between what needs to be done now, versus your dreams for the future.

Remember: Some goals must be BIG to make you stretch and grow to your full potential. Some goals must be long-range to keep you on track and greatly reduce the possibility of short-range frustrations. Some goals must be small and daily 98

to keep you disciplined. Some goals must be ongoing. Some goals (i.e., weight loss, sales success, education, etc.) may require analysis and consultation to determine where you are before you can set the goals. Most goals should be specific. A “nice home” is not as good as a “3,000 square-foot, Tudor- style home with four bedrooms, three full baths, and two living spaces.” Here we go with the final step: After specifically identifying your goals, write them down! It is important that you have a written list of your specific goals. Then you will begin to do the daily, weekly action steps that will take you closer to achieving that goal. Be selective. You may not be able to work on all of your goals at one time! Don’t overdo it. If you only have time to complete one or two goals for the remainder of this year, don’t apologize. Do a little bit more than you think you can, but do not overextend your time to the point that you don’t complete any of your goals. Do not get frustrated by the process! Work the system and it will work for you. I can fill a book with the number of letters that I receive about the effectiveness of this simple goal-setting program. Trust the system. Once you have identified your goals and plotted the activities that you intend to do to fulfil your goals, pat yourself on the back! You have just 99

spent more time planning your future than most of your friends, relatives or associates will ever invest! Good for you.

Chapter Nine Change And And Know Your Identity

hen a person makes a change and it lasts, it is because they did not just make a change at the behavioural, emotional or cognitive level, but they make a shift at the level of self-identity.

What Is The Meaning of Identity? Identity? Identity is the belief you have about who you are as a person. It is how you see yourself. yourself As we go through life, we are sometimes convinced by the people around us that we are 'lazy', 'unlucky', 'incapable', 'weak' etc... The moment we start to see ourselves as an average person', we start behaving like one. We start lowering our standards and adopting limiting beliefs and attitudes. Even when we are shown our true 101

potential, we hold onto our limiting beliefs and refuse to see the truth.

The Way You See Yourself Affects Your Destiny The way you see yourself (your identity) affects what you think you can or cannot do. This in turn affects want you want in life (your goals and standards). What you want will affect what you do (your actions). Finally your actions will determine your results and ultimately your destiny. Understanding the power of identity has really impacted my life personally. When I was in primary school, I used to have a very negative self-identity. I used to see myself as loser. I saw myself as a slow, lazy and lousy student. Reflecting back, I have come to realize that my identity was shaped by my past experiences and the negative comments that people kept saying to me. God knows where I would be today if I still held onto that identity.

Who Are You? 102

I want you to take a few minutes and to reflect on this question, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;who are you?' 'How do you currently see yourself?' Do you see yourself as a winner or an average person? A motivated person or a lazy person? An adventurer? A coward? A leader or a follower? Are you a failure or a success? Are you an intelligent person? Are you attractive or unattractive? Be totally honest with yourself and do this exercise now.

Take a look at the identity you have described. Are there certain aspects to your identity that empower you? Of example, if you see yourself as a very determined person, it is unlikely that you will allow yourself to give up easily. At the same time, are there certain aspects of your identity that limit you? For example, if you see yourself as a lazy person, 103

then you will subconsciously behave in a way that is consistent with that identity.

You Are More Than Who You Think You Are If you have negative or limiting aspects of your identity, the good news is that it is not cast in stone. You can change it! You must remember that the identity that you now have is the result of generalizations you have made of your past experiences and behaviours. It does not define you unless you allow it to. For example, if you see yourself as a lazy person, how did you create this self-identity? It could be that there were times in the past when you set certain goals and did not follow through. You did not take action at times when you needed to. After witnessing this behaviour in yourself a few times, you came to the conclusion that you are a lazy person. The people around you may have also labelled you as being 'lazy' after observing your behaviour. Once you gave yourself that lazy label, it became comfortable and acceptable to keep doing it. Understand that you are not your past behaviours. Your past behaviours are the result 104

of past choices you have made and emotional states you were in. You have the power at any time to make new choices, put yourself into an empowering state and take action. However, the moment you believe that you are a lazy person, you will not change your choices and your behaviours.

If You Want to Make a Sustainable Change, It It Starts With Changing Your Identity Remember that if you want to change any kind of behaviour or result, you have to first change the way you see yourself. If you want to achieve a greater level of success in your life, you have to first see yourself as a successful person. You will then think and act like a successful person. You will carry yourself differently, speak differently and dress differently. You will spend your time more effectively and demand a lot more from yourself.

Steps to Change Your Identity: So, who must you BE to achieve the dreams and the life that that you want? For example, if you 105

want to increase your fitness and health, adopt the identity a healthy and fit person.

Insight #1 Be the person you want to be. “Make the decision to take action and move closer to your Dream. Create daily success habits and surround yourself with information that will empower and inspire you.”

Insight Insight #2 Use anger in a positive way to get results. “Anger is a normal reaction. It’s what you do with anger that makes a difference in your life … direct your anger towards a goal … use anger in a positive way to get results … from anger comes determination … comes triumph.”

Insight #3 It starts with a Dream. “Visualize your Dream and make a commitment. Having a Dream is what makes life exciting. Never underestimate the power of a Dream. It will change your life. A 106

Dream gives you the ability to determine your future.”

Insight #4 Eliminate the confusion. “Find mentors who encourage you. The right information will eliminate confusion.

Reinforce your Dream every day with positive information from tapes, books, and mentors. Each day you will get closer to your Dream. Eliminate the confusion and fears, and make it happen.”

Insight #5 The greater the struggle, the greater the victory. “Most people allow struggles and fear of failure to stop them. The key is to learn from your struggles and move on. Failures will make you stronger and give you the information you need to reach your Dream. Struggle will prepare you for success. Without struggle there is no success.”

Insight #6 107

Follow your passion instead of the dollar. “There’s nothing wrong with making money … but, it’s important to focus on your passion instead of the dollar. For me, decisions based on my passion brought me closer to my Dream, while decisions based only on money took me further away. If you focus on what really fulfils you, you will have success. The dollar alone does not bring happiness.”

Insight #7 Excuses will kill your Dream. “What we’re really talking about here is commitment. Until you make a commitment to your Dream, it’s not really a Dream … it’s just another fantasy full of excuses. Fantasies don’t come true because they’re not real, we’re not committed to them. When we make commitments, we eliminate excuses and they become Dreams … and Dreams are definitely real.”

Insight #8 #8 Prepare for your Dream. “Preparation is what comes from struggle. Knowledge comes from preparation. These are the elements that pave the road to your Dream. If we do not prepare we will not succeed. Set your goals and pursue your 108

Dreams with all your heart. If you miss a goal, don’t quit, reset it! You just need to learn more … step by step you will win!”

Insight #9 Focus on your Dream and Never Quit. It is always too soon to quit. If you quit, you can’t succeed. By achieving your Dream you will be an inspiration to others. You will set the example and make an enormous impact on the world. Make it happen!”

Insight #10 Always have a Dream. “Dreams give us energy to go to new levels. Dreams change lives … the power of life is in your Dreams!”

Chapter Ten Sowing In Times Of Famine Matthew 16:1316:13-20 13When

Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20Then charged he his 111

disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. The body of Christ is able to receive direct information from heaven as Peter received it to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thou art the Christ, the son of the living God.â&#x20AC;? Peter did not get this information through academics he received it by revelation. To receive define revelation you need be in concert with your man of God who reveals it to you. If you believe in the word of God and his prophets you prosper.

Matthew 16:2116:21-25 21From

that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day 22Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Truth and revelation knowledge are always attacked because the secret things belong to God but the things that are revealed belong to you and your children. This makes you see what 112

other people cannot see and make you have what other people cannot have. When you receive revelation act on it.

Deutoronomy 29:29 “The

secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” Revelation makes you see what other people can’t see and make you have what other people can’t have. The enemy is after as quick as you get the revelation to destroy that revelation, thats why when you get a revelation act on it. Revelation does not stay and if you don’t retrain your thinking and act on it, it gets back or drifts away. The Holy Spirit is there to reveal the word to us and all we need to do is take a step of faith and act on it. You have information, then meditation, then revelation, then application and then manifestation. Receive your pastors as your prophets and don’t look at his stature or size. Your job is to receive; if you receive wealth, poverty will get out, if you 113

receive health, sickness will get out. You shall not go to heaven through academic qualifications but through faith which is the anointing connector, it releases the power of God to break burdens, destroys yolks and the gates of hell shall not prevail against you. Get before God and ask for your dream, when you believe you receive and stay with it.

Genesis 22 â&#x20AC;&#x153;And

Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. 4Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 5And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. 6And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. 7And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 9And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. 10And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to 114

slay his son. 11And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 13And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. 14And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

Hebrews 11:1711:17-18 “7By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure ( vision). When you have revelation of the end result, you don’t struggle with the process. You will do whatever the spirit of God tells you to do. The problem with people is that when they give they don’t see the end result or HARVEST. Next time you give to the Lord, attached a request, perceive it, believe that your harvest is coming and so shall it be in Jesus name.

Matthew 6:25-26 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.

I feel inferior, seems like everyone around me has it together I don’t like some things about the way I look I think certain experiences in my past have ruined my life Sometime I just can’t stand myself

Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Anger • • •

I find it very hard to forgive someone who has done me wrong. I get angry with myself when I loose control of my emotions. I often find myself having heated arguments with people who I really care 123

â&#x20AC;˘

about. Sometimes I would rather get even than to get just get mad.

Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Fear • • • • •

With the way the economy is going I’m afraid of losing my job, house… Fear of not being able to do what God has told you. Fear that you will never be a success. Fear that you will lose your Salvation. Fear of Dying.

Hebrews 13:6 (AMP) “So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man 125

do to me? “ Psalm 27:14 (AMP) “Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.” Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” 2 Timothy 1:7 (AMP) “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.” Isaiah 35:4 (AMP) “Say to those who are of a fearful and hasty heart, Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance; with the recompense of God He will come and save you.” Isaiah 41:13 (AMP) “For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; I am the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you!” Ephesians 3:12 (AMP) “In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the 126

boldness (courage and confidence) of fr ee access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).” Congratulations for finishing the test! If you answered “yes” to one or more questions under a given category, you probably need to seek God to help you change in this area.

Grace In order to walk in wealth and have a divine paradigm shift in your life, you need God’s Grace.

Philippians 4:23 “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”

Judges 6:16 “

And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.” Grace has levels and it is sought, there is Sufficient Grace, Amazing Grace, the Grace of Jesus and the Throne of Grace Grace. race The grace of our 135

Lord Jesus Christ command riches upon your life.

2 Corinthians 8:9 “For

ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” Jesus was rich but became poor so that you and I can be rich. Jesus had grace , business women supported his ministry and he had treasurers.

Luke 8:2 8:2:2-3 “And also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means “ We see that rich women with substance supported our Lord Jesus Christ because of the grace that was upon his life, the grace if Jesus is coming on you as you read this book in Jesus name.

Mark 9:23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” 136

10 Ways To To Survive The Economic Down Falls 1. Pray For Wisdom James 1:5 says, “ If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” We need wisdom more than anything to make the right decisions in protecting our families, businesses, assets and finances during these turbulent times.

2. Give Extravagantly Malachi 3:103:10-11 says “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the LORD Almighty.”

137

God’s Word doesn’t return to him void when you give with a joyful heart and learn to give out of your need rather than out of your abundance. God will supernaturally intervene in your life and pour out so many blessings that you will not be able to contain it. The second half of the promise mentioned here is that He WILL make you more productive.

3. Read And Meditate On On God’s God s Word Joshua 1:81:8-9 says, “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Yet another promise from God, who’s Word does not return void! This is a conditional phrase. When you meditate on God’s Word and are careful to do what it says, AND THEN you will be prosperous and successful. The Bible is our blueprint for a successful life.

4. Get Out Of Of Debt 138

Interest rates are at the lowest point in the history of our nation. This means they can始t go too much lower, they will go up, and go up rapidly as the U.S. Dollar continues to deteriorate. If you carry any variable debt you will find it increasingly more difficult to service your debt payments as those payments rise.

5. Grow Your Roots In A Local Local Church Church How could this help you navigate through this harsh economy? Well, when your roots grow deep you will be able to withstand the storms of life as they arrive. Remember, storms ALWAYS happen and sometimes Jesus calmed the storm, sometimes he was the peace in the midst of the storm. Regardless, the end result was PEACE. Having a support group of like-minded, God fearing, friends and family of the local church will make the storms of life easier to navigate.

6. Be Politically Active Active Make your voice heard! We still live in a country where our voice can be heard and 139

we can make a difference. We need to hold our elected official始s feet to the fire and encourage them to make wise decisions. After all, it is their policies of excessive taxation, excessive spending, and a continuous elimination of God from the policies and principles of our nation that have produced the mess that we are in. Make a difference while you still can!

7. Become Self Self Sufficient In reading accounts of other countries throughout history that have gone through hyper inflations like Zimbabwe, the people that have survived the best are the ones who were able to produce their own food, had supplies of fresh water, had acquired barter type items prior to the economic tsunami hitting them. It is sad that we are about at the point where we look at longterm food storage as part of a solid investment portfolio, but our goal is to protect, preserve, survive and thrive, and these type of items should be sought after.

8. Diligently Study Th The Fundamentals Fundamentals Of The Markets 140

Knowing what fundamentally causes markets to move is ESSENTIAL to safeguarding your assets from erosion due to bad public policy. For example: The value of bonds will come down when interest rates rise. Financial metals like gold/silver do very well during times of political and geopolitical turbulence, economic uncertainty, chaos and change. Industrial and agricultural commodities tend to do very well during times of inflation. The stock market will ultimately come crashing down as revenues continue to decline and taxes go up.

9. Reallocate Reallocate Your Your Assets You need to analyze your current investment mix and get out of the downward trending asset classes (stock market and allocate into positive trending asset classes like gold/silver. Precious metals in this economy will act as a hedge against your paper assets as they are in the midst of a HUGE bull market. Gold has increased over 400% since 2002 and silver has increased over 700% during the same time period. A proper allocation of metals and cash in your portfolio will help to insulate you against some of the 141

turbulent market activity that will wipe out a lifetime of savings in a short period of time.

10. Contact A Financial Financial Advisor Who Understands Understands The Times Times We Are Living In 1 Chronicles Chronicles 12:32 says that the sons of Issachar understood the times and knew what to do. We need to be modern day sons and daughters of Issachar and understand the times we are living in and know what to do about it. Also, make sure your investment advisor is the same. Many well meaning people just don始t grasp the seriousness of the economic downturn we are living in, nor do they grasp the magnitude and scope of the implications of not allocating wisely. Our window of opportunity to protect us, our families, and future generations will not be open forever. In fact, it may not be open for very long at all. ACT NOW to preserve and protect everything you have worked your entire life to accumulate.

Transformation And Economic Shift The place of your greatest temptation is a place of your greatest Victory. 1.5 Billion people don’t have access to a good meal and water every day. Over 800 million women in the world don’t have a decent underwear.

Matthew 6:31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the gentiles seek: for your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdoms and his righteousness and all this things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 28:1328:13-20 “Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. 16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” 143

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Time Shifts A world system is an organised force and has characteristics of organisms. A system is a "whole compounded of several parts or members, system", literary "composition" is a set of interacting or interdependent components forming an integrated whole.

Deuteronomy 28:11 “And

the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.” It’s important to know that God has given certain grace to men of God, and grace is imparted by being prayed for. That is why when Pastors are being launched for ministry, they are ordained for ministry by the laying of hands and anointing.

Chapter Thirteen Dead Bones Live Again

he first thing you need to do to make every dry areas in your life live again is by first reading and meditating on the following passage scripture below.

Ezekiel 37:137:1-14 The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord GOD, You know.” 4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin 147

and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the LORD.”’”7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them. 9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. 11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’” You will need to make every area of your life live again by the following process: 1. Knowing How To Rebuke the Devil. 2. Knowing the Kingdom Concepts. 3. Knowing The Holy Spirit As a person. 4. Calling people in higher Spiritual ranking to pray over you. 148

Knowing How To Rebuke the Devil “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”

Revelations 12:11 The bible says that when you obey God you can resist the devil he will flee from you. Jesus overcame the devil through the word of God by saying it is written we see that in the book of Mathew. Your gift has walked in time and God already has a destiny for your life according to Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” When the devil comes against you stand up and show him your gift. When you know your favour flavoured Gift no weapon formed against you shall prosper, every economic system bows down to you. Every sickness get healed, every favour flavoured dream becomes a reality because dry bones live again. Ezekiel was a prophet and prophets prophecy prosperity. Ezekiel shaved his head (cut his hair), 149

lost his wife in short he passed through all the pressures of life. Ezekiel was asked to make the dry bones of Israel men who died in exile during their wilderness experience in Egyptian slavery. The men died without being circumcised. Ezekiel addresses the dry bones and God gave him the resurrection process by these S’s. 1. S - Speak 2. S - Structure 3. S - Skin Prophecy by speaking kingdom concepts of God’s word. When you speak a word, the word you speak conforms to God’s mandate and plan and the resurrection and manifestation process comes to pass. Develop a strategic 100 year life plan. When you prophecy and speak dead bones live in your life, dead futures, dead visions, dead business, dead marriages, dead dreams live again in JESUS NAME.

4. Remember To Own The Vision, Not The Position. 151

A small church starts up and they need a musician. After some time, a lady finally speaks up and says she took about 6 months of lessons, so they give her the job. Eventually the church grows, and a ‘more seasoned’ piano player is put in position. But that lady with the 6 months of lessons gets offended when they ask her to do something else. Don’t be her. Don’t get offended. Be willing to be moved around. Own the vision, not the position.

5. Volunteer. If you won’t do it for free, why should you get paid to do it? Most of staff began as volunteers. God is going to promote you. He’s going to help the leaders see that you should be promoted. Get involved. Remember, God is for you. You are part of the Body of Christ. You have a specific function you were designed for. You have a specific place.

Chapter Fourteen Jesus Manifests Manifests A Favour Flav Flavoured Dream

esus shows up when you are almost giving up on your journey to your greatness, he performs miracles in your life to harness a favour flavoured dream to become a reality. Let me share a story of Jesus when he was invited at a wedding in Cana of Galilee where he performed his first miracle.

John 2 :1:1-11 â&#x20AC;&#x153;And

the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with 155

thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.â&#x20AC;? Jesus and his disciples were invited as special guests at the wedding in Cana and his mother Mary was is like what we can call in present day life a wedding organiser or wedding planner. In other words she ran a business and was in charge at the wedding to make sure very provision was available. After three days Heaven is going open up on your behalf just as the miracle can in Cana after the third day in Jesus name. When Jesus is invited he never comes alone. We see that at the wedding at Cana Jesus came with

156

his entourage his disciples and brought favour to a flavoured favour wedding. Jesus comes with an entourage in your life. Jesus comes with healing. Jesus comes with deliverance. Jesus comes with to open the blind eye. Jesus comes with provision. Jesus comes with power. Jesus comes with to fill up that bank account that is on life support. The next chapter of your life is already prepared. The first miracle has to happen in your house. Mary was a business owner a wedding Organiser. In John 2:3,Mary told Jesus that 2:3 there is no more wine, which meant that she was in charge of the wedding and whoever was serving at the wedding reported to her and told her that Wine had run out. Mary knew Jesus was able perform a miracle but we see Jesus replied that his time had not come. Mary called on Jesus because she was worried, she was going lose the contract because she had under estimated the Wine provision. If you are in business and maybe your cash flow is running out, your business is heading a financial collapse call unto Jesus to give you : Favour 157

Expansion Clients Funds New contracts Another thing we see here is that Jesus made sure whoever he called was in business. Just look at all his disciples most of them were doing something before he called them and made them fishers of men. You need to find one person or mentor like Mary who believes in your gift like she did in Jesus and you shall attain your Dream. When you believe on Jesus to come through for you in times of trouble, need, financial crisis, marital crisis, accusations at your work place, you force him to show up and activate a favour flavour dream in your life .Mary forced time on Jesus to perform a miracle before his scheduled time. When you force God in prayer, demand your provision ahead of schedule celebrate it now in Jesus name. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were put in the fire furnace but praised and worshiped God and Jesus showed up ahead of Time in Daniel 3:25.

Daniel 3 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nebuchadnezzar

the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six 158

cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 2Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. 3Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, 5That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: 6And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 7Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. 8Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. 9They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever. 10Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image: 11And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 12There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and 159

Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 13Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king. 14Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? 15Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 16Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 18But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 19Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. 20And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 22Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took 160

up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 23And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 24Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. 25He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. 26Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. 27And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. 28Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. 29Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. 30Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.

161

We see in this story that Jesus Showed up in the burning fire furnace and at this time Jesus was not even prophesied until Isaiah and he only shows up in the Book of Matthew. In the fire Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego feet and hands were tied up but their mouth was open for praise. When you PRAISE and WORSHIP God in times of need , Jesus shows up in your situations. In John 2:5, Mary the mother of Jesus said to the SERVANTS do as he tells you to do. This shows us she was an employer with employees. You shall become employers and not employees in Jesus name. Whatever God tells you to do it.

John 2:62:6-7 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. In this passage of scripture we see that Jesus asked for six water pots and told them to fill them up to the bring which means eye level. Six is the number of imperfection and Jesus is saying all the stuff in your house, your body, your company that is not working, rely not on y our thoughts and I will pour out a miracle of favour in your situation. When we do some simple 162

mathematics we can say that six pots could accommodate 30 gallons of water which give us 180 Gallons. 6X30=180 Gallons God is going to give you a 180 degree turn. In your Job. In your business. In Your Marriage. Get ready for the turn around, when you need a blessing from God call on him. I feel in my spirit that as you read this book, 6 of your business people have the anointing to have : - 180 employees. - 180 orphans fed. - 180 nations supplied. Have faith , it allows God to propel your favour flavoured dream, Hebrews 11:1 says â&#x20AC;&#x153;1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.â&#x20AC;? In John 2: 7, Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. Jesus is making that dream be filled in your life to the brim and when overflow happens 163

it cannot be contained there will be a spilling over of blessings in your life because of the favour of our Lord Jesus Christ. Luke 6:38 says your blessing shall be pressed down and running over. Over flow is coming in your life you ought to praise him right now for God has given you the Victory. God is ready to make a shift that will change nation because of you. Six People's lives are going gettng a miracle today in Jesus name and I believe you are one of them. Run Dance Shout Rejoice Praise him Faith is the assurance of things hoped for the evidence e of things that are not seen. When your business is facing a financial meltdown, when your healthy is going down Jesus will show up and perform that miracle of deliverance. Whatever he tell you to do, do it. Jesus is turning your Business around. Jesus is turning your Health around. Jesus is turning your Marriage around. Jesus is turning your Relationship around. Jesus is turning your Life around. Jesus is turning your Career around. 164

Jesus is turning your Finances around. You have so many dreams inside you, You have so many goals inside you that have not been accomplished, but Jesus has showed up to perform that miracle of favour in your life and John 16:716:7-8 says “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. “ We serve a Big God, some years back I had applied for a Job as Marketing Manager in a Five Star Hotel and they rejected my application. But now with God’s infinite favour, I was given a contract to train their entire Staff including Management. Sometimes our asking from God is too small because of doubt, when God has better and BIG assignments for us. God forgive me for having small dream years back. Never again will I have a small Dream. I now understand why God inspired me to write the book. ENLARGE YOUR VISION!

Chapter Fifteen Power of Sowing Seed Seed And Its Harvest

Seed is powerful itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got power to bake some generational circles in your life. In the bible we see that you cannot serve two matters at the same time and the comparison is between God and Money. In order to see God show up in your situation, you need a sacrificial seed. Solomon the greats richest King who ever lived shows us how powerful the sowing a seed is.

2 Chronicles 1:61:6-12 Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the LORD in the tent of meeting and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it. 7 167

That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” 8 Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. 9 Now, LORD God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?” 11 God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.” A seed has power to break generational curses and we see this in the life of Cornelius. In Acts 44-47 we see how Cornelius got saved and got filled with the HOLY SPIRIT with all his family.

Acts 10 Cornelius Calls for Peter “At

Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3 One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!” 4 168

Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. 5 Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.” 7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants. 8 He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa. Peter’s Vision 9

About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.” 14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.” 15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” 16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven. 17 While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate. 18 They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there. 19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, 169

the Spirit said to him, “Simon, three[a] men are looking for you. 20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.” 21 Peter went down and said to the men, “I’m the one you’re looking for. Why have you come?” 22 The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.” 23 Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests. Peter at Cornelius’s House The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers from Joppa went along. 24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26 But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.” 27 While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. 28 He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. 29 So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?” 30 Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered 170

your gifts to the poor. 32 Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.’ 33 So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.” 34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. 36 You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. 37 You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. 39 “We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, 40 but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. 43 All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” 44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had 171

come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues[b] and praising God. Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days. Abraham the Father of many nations also understood the power of sowing a SEED.

Hebrews 7:17:1-9 Melchizedek the Priest “This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, 2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 3 Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever. 4 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! 5 Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham. 6 This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him 172

who had the promises. 7 And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater. 8 In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. 9 One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, 10 because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor. The perception in giving will determine how your seed harvest. Our perception

Seven Benefit For Sowing In In A Man of God’s God’s Life 1. When you sow a seed in a man of God, you will be able to get things that money cannot buy. A Shunammite woman saw a man of God’s need and she gave him shelter and got a reward of a Child.

2 Kings 4:84:8-18

The Shunammite’s Son Restored to Life 173

One day Elisha went to Shunem. And a well-to-do woman was there, who urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he stopped there to eat. 9 She said to her husband, “I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. 10 Let’s make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay there whenever he comes to us.” 11 One day when Elisha came, he went up to his room and lay down there. 12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Call the Shunammite.” So he called her, and she stood before him. 13 Elisha said to him, “Tell her, ‘You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’” She replied, “I have a home among my own people.” 14 “What can be done for her?” Elisha asked. Gehazi said, “She has no son, and her husband is old.” 15 Then Elisha said, “Call her.” So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. 16 “About this time next year,” Elisha said, “you will hold a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she objected. “Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!” 17 But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her. 18 The child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the reapers.

Ten Things Money Cannot Buy Here is how mankind tells money, quoting from the Book of Job: "Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther." Here are the ten things money can't buy.

1. Money Cannot Buy Family and Friends The greenbacks (USD Dollar) won't bring you any closer to your family if you are far too busy earning them. Nor will they guarantee your family understands you at all. (Mummy's cooking is a sub-group in this 'things you can't buy anywhere' list.) There are exceptions to this. You might just pay off irritating in-laws to stay out of your hair, or order a hit on them. But in the normal course... With friends, it works the same way, only more so. If your wealth draws them, they aren't real. If they don't stay, or your life has no place for them, you are on your 175

own. With real friends, you've almost got it made. 2.

Money Cannot Buy A Home

Get married, start a family, have kids. Will they grow up into fine people? Have you got the hang of father/motherhood? Is your home really your castle, a cocoon of comfort? Or is it just a house with people in it? The card really stops here. 3.

Money Cannot Buy Happiness

Alright, but it gets truer as the years pass. There is always something missing whether you are on the beach in Durban or adding the newest antique wood furniture to your collection. If you can't get at the root of it, everything you can get is merely a narcotic. 4.

Money Cannot Buy Peace

Here is the big one, ever since they started asking smart questions to beauty contestants. The small peace is inside your head and that is elusive enough to come by, for which you have antacids and 176

Ketorol, which only push it away for another day. Also think world peace and other big matters. 5.

Money Cannot Buy Immortality

If you can make it for three decades on top of the Forbes list, that is a measure of fame. But to be truly immortal requires other things, other ways of striving. Ever wondered how some dirt-poor hardscrabble guys have instant recall value centuries afterwards? And literal immortality is yet several pages farther in human civilisation's sci-fi book. Best you can do is get a ticket on Sir Richard Branson's space taxi. 6.

Money Cannot Buy Respect

You can smirk at the poor ants down below on the street, but they will pull faces behind your back if you are the sort who is perpetually asking for it. Dignity is the most fragile of public possessions. And God help you if they know about the skeletons in your closet or that you were called Stinky as a kid. This is one asset you really need to work on all the time to earn... 177

Money Cannot Buy Talent

Another cliched, misused, misunderstood word, like creativity, and maybe no one knows what it is anymore, but you are either born with it or not. There is No way you can get a bill of sale on this one. What you do with it is of course your business. History has been very frequently marked with astonishing examples of creativity outdoing... well, money and everything else. Possibly the best example is Lenoardo da Vinci and a certain portrait of a woman. He took 16 years to paint it, did not bother to name it, packed it with himself wherever he travelled in Europe, refused to sell it to kings and counts. It was ultimately sold by his assistant after he died. Someone down the line decided to call it the Mona Lisa. At the other end of the example is Vincent Van Gogh. All that talent and he sold just one painting of the nearly thousand he made, struggling with poverty all along. Didn't make a difference either way: in 1990, his Portrait of Dr Gachet went under the hammer for a current equivalent of $ 136.1 million making it the fourth most expensive painting ever sold. 178

Money Cannot Buy Health

Sure healthcare costs being the way they are, you need all the money you can lay your hands on when it comes to facing the bills and pills and the doctor scaring you with a dozen different possible diseases you have never heard about. But, viewed sanely, a good efficient treatment is not that much of a substitute for a good healthy life. Isn't it better not to need healthcare in the first place? 9.

Money Cannot Buy Love

For me love is the most powerful feeling that draws two persons together, maybe for the rest of their lives. You can't stain the purity of this feeling with money or luxury. If you love someone you can live even in a hut and be extremely happy. A mansion full of servants doesn't make you the queen of the world and neither Prince Charming is waiting for you in a Ferrari in front of the house. That feeling of intense loneliness can neither be bought off with money. 179

Someone says, "Money can't buy love, but with all the other things it can, I'll give love a miss." 10.

Money Cannot Buy Character

In case it matters. It is a sneaky creature, goes by other strange names like virtue and righteousness and at one time, if we remember reading correctly, a certain generation used to call it "true wealth". We don't really know whether it is around in these times but if you are looking to have it, it has to come from within. Or some such thing... Meanwhile, enjoy what you have, but as John Buchan says, "Sit easy on your comforts."

God, 2. When you sow a seed in a man of God, expect God to give you things despite your unbelief. When a prophetic word is spoken things happen in your life. 180

2 Kings 4:124:12-18 “He

said to his servant Gehazi, “Call the Shunammite.” So he called her, and she stood before him. 13 Elisha said to him, “Tell her, ‘You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’” She replied, “I have a home among my own people.” 14 “What can be done for her?” Elisha asked. Gehazi said, “She has no son, and her husband is old.” 15 Then Elisha said, “Call her.” So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. 16 “About this time next year,” Elisha said, “you will hold a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she objected. “Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!” 17 But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her. 18 The child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the reapers.

3. When You Sow A Seed In In A Man Of God, God, Dead Things Things Are Are Resurrected. esurrected The Shunammite woman’s son died but because of her seed in the man of God her son was resurrected. When you marriage, 181

spiritual life, business, job is dead sow a seed to resurrect . 2 Kings 4:194:19-37 “He

said to his father, “My head! My head!” His father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.” 20 After the servant had lifted him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. 21 She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, then shut the door and went out. 22 She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can go to the man of God quickly and return.” 23 “Why go to him today?” he asked. “It’s not the New Moon or the Sabbath.” “That’s all right,” she said. 24 She saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Lead on; don’t slow down for me unless I tell you.” 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite! 26 Run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’” “Everything is all right,” she said. 27 When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress, but the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me 182

why.” 28 “Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she said. “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t raise my hopes’?” 29 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand and run. Don’t greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy’s face.” 30 But the child’s mother said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her. 31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy has not awakened.” 32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his couch. 33 He went in, shut the door on the two of them and prayed to the LORD. 34 Then he got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eyes to eyes, hands to hands. As he stretched himself out on him, the boy’s body grew warm. 35 Elisha turned away and walked back and forth in the room and then got on the bed and stretched out on him once more. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes. 36 Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite.” And he did. When she came, he said, “Take your son.” 37 She came in, fell at his feet and bowed to the ground. Then she took her son and went out.

4. When You You Sow In A Man of of God , Famine will pass you. 2 Kings 8:18:1-2

The Shunammite’s Land Restored 1

Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Go away with your family and stay for a while wherever you can, because the LORD has decreed a famine in the land that will last seven years.” 2 The woman proceeded to do as the man of God said. She and her family went away and stayed in the land of the Philistines seven years.

5. When You You Sow in The Man Of God, God, You Get Total Restoration. 2 Kings 8:38:3-6 At the end of the seven years she came back from the land of the Philistines and went to appeal to the king for her house and land. 4 The king was talking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, and had said, “Tell me about all the great things Elisha has done.” 5 Just as Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had restored the dead to life, the woman whose son Elisha had brought back to life came to appeal to the king for 184

her house and land. Gehazi said, “This is the woman, my lord the king, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life.” 6 The king asked the woman about it, and she told him. Then he assigned an official to her case and said to him, “Give back everything that belonged to her, including all the income from her land from the day she left the country until now.” The story above of a Shunammite womanis that she got full restoration and favour from the King because of her seed in the man of God.

6. When You Sow In A Man Of God You Become A Partaker of The Grace Of The Man Of God Upon His Life. Life. Philippians 1:7 “It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.”

Know the grace that is upon the man of God you are sowing into.

185

7. When You Sow In A Man Of God , You Expect Increase.

Philippians 4:174:17-19 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. 18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

1 King 17:717:7-24

Elijah and the Widow at Zarephath “Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 8 Then the word of the LORD came to him: 9 “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” 11 As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.” 12 “As surely as 186

the LORD your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.” 13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain on the land.’” 15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah. 17 Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing.” “Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed. 20 Then he cried out to the LORD, “LORD my God, have you brought tragedy even on this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?” 21 Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried out to the LORD, “LORD my God, let this boy’s life return to him!” 22 The LORD heard Elijah’s cry, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived. 23 Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the 187

house. He gave him to his mother and said, “Look, your son is alive!” 24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is the truth.”

In the above passage of Scripture the Zarephath woman sow a seed by feeding the Prophet of God Elijah and in return when her son died she got back his life.

Timothy 5:17 “7Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.”

Claim Your Inheritance Did you know there are billions of dollars worth of unclaimed inheritances in the United States? The State of California is currently in possession of more than $6.1 billion in Unclaimed Property belonging to approximately 13.1 million individuals and organizations. The State acquires unclaimed property through California's Unclaimed Property Law, which requires "holders" such as corporations, business associations, financial institutions, and insurance companies to annually report and deliver property to the Controller's Office after there has been no customer contact for three years. Often the owner forgets that the account exists, or moves and does not leave a forwarding address or the forwarding order expires. In some cases, the owner dies and the heirs have no knowledge of the property. You can search online and Google "unclaimed inheritances"; and you will find that there are unclaimed properties, assets and inheritances because the heirs can't be found. There are people who have received inheritances, and they don't even know it! 189

In South Africa there are also a lot of unclaimed inheritances check on this website for more information www.unclaimedmoney.co.za

You have also received an inheritance from Jesus that you need to claim! You have a will - His Will, His Word - that discloses and unveils your inheritance. Do you know what your inheritance includes? I encourage you to know what His Will says and find out what belongs to you so you can take possession of it and claim it. After all, you can't claim what you don't know belongs to you!

God says in Galatians 3:9 that we are blessed along with Abraham. That means that every blessing He had, we can have! In Genesis 12, God pronounced a seven-fold blessing over Abraham, and these seven things belong to you and me.

Chapter Sixteen The Anointing

he purpose of the Anointing is for mission, it is the manifestation of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visitation in your life. The anointing is an enhancer for propelling the acts of miracles and wisdom. Here are some of the things that trigger anointing.

The Act Of Righteousness The level to which you love righteousness will determine the level of anointing in your life.. Sin places a limit or an obstacle on the anointing to flow in your life. Develop and attitude of I love righteousness and hate wickedness.

1 Thessalonians 2:10 193

“You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. “

1 John 3 :7 “ Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.”

2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we live by faith, not by sight.”

1 Samuel 3:19 “The LORD was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.”

1 Samuel 12:3 “Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.”

194

Spiritual Warfare Jesus is our advocate and the anointing helps us fight.

Hebrews 12:2212:22-24 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Jesus’s blood is for mercy and the Blood of Abel is for Life. When you are accused by the devil, Jesus comes on the stand as the advocate and calls THE Blood to take the stand as proof and witness that Jesus paid the price for your sins and mine. Every time you mess up Jesus is there to sprinkle the blood and you are forgiven. There is supernatural deliverance through the Blood, see Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

Genesis 4:1 4:1:1-10 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 2And she 195

again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 5But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. 9And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 10And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. If God be for you,who can be against you. The devil uses the Babylonian system to control the world through money.

2 Corinthians 10:410:4-5 "(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ"

196

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not up to you to defeat the devil as Jesus defeated the devil. 2000 year ago the church of Jesus was born; it was born with a unique characteristic. The Church has a super CIA of the kingdom called the Holy Spirit and he reveals to us what the enemy is going to do and how he is going to do it. One of the great strategies of Satan is that he has declared war against the Church of Jesus Christ and he wants to turn you around. Then enemy has put the Church on the defensive in the press, with government, in schools and with the corporate world. We are not in the natural warfare, there is nothing natural about the devil for the bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers in high place. The devil is out to destroy the Character of God and the Integrity of God. The Character of God is Love. Many times the devil comes and tells you if God is loves why are you broke and sick , you gave an offering last Sunday but now you are failing to pay your Rent. Alas Jesus went into the wilderness for pray and fasting for preparation not to be tempted of the devil. Jesus was ready of the devils temptation. We need to be ready and prepared for the attack of the enemy. Put this in your spirit, 2000 years ago the Church of Jesus Christ was born, it was not born anaemic, powerless and it was not born through 197

Denomination, Organisation but through unique characteristics with divine capabilities.

Ephesians 6:106:10-18 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saintsâ&#x20AC;?

198

When your wife says you are just a human being in trousers and nothing to offer, God says dig a ditch I will make you prosperous.

God is giving you a connection to take you out of your troubles. God is giving you a connection for a million dollar contract. 200

What is the New Birth?

esus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3).

Jesus made this statement to a man named Nicodemus who was a ruler of the Jews. Nicodemus had heard Jesus preaching about a new kind of kingdom, and he came to ask Jesus questions about it. Jesus told him that the way to enter this new kingdom was to be born again. Nicodemus asked Him the same question you or I might ask: How can a man be born again? Can he enter into his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womb again? Jesus explained to Nicodemus that the new birth He was talking about was not physical but spiritual. It was the beginning of a new life in a new kingdom. Jesus answered, Verily, Verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again (John 3:5-7). When Jesus was talking to Nicodemus, He used an illustration Nicodemus could easily understand. A newborn baby entering its life was 203

a perfect illustration of a person beginning a new life with God. Jesus called it being born again—a new birth. He also called it being saved. These terms all mean the same thing. What we call this remarkable experience isn’t as important as understanding the God made a way to bring us back to Him and give us new life! They that are whole need not a physician: but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32). The way back to God is to acknowledge our need of a Saviour and to accept what Jesus Christ did on our behalf. God saw us in our state of spiritual death, and through Jesus Christ provided a way back into relationship with Him. God’s love for us is not based upon our ability to come to Him on our own merits. It is based on our acceptance that Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins…and there is nothing more for us to do. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13). Salvation has been freely offered to everyone. Anyone who will acknowledge their need of a 204

Saviour and accept Jesus Christ as that Saviour can be saved.

Romans 8:18:1-2 â&#x20AC;&#x153;There

is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.â&#x20AC;?

These Three Steps Are Essential To Salvation: Salvation: 1. REPENT: REPENT to repent means to turn around, to go in a new direction. What do we need to turn from? We need to turn form our life-style of sin and separation from God. We need to turn from living our lives our own way and from being our own god. What do we turn to? We turn to God who loves and cares for us. We turn to faith in Jesus Christ as our Saviour. 2. BELIEVE: BELIEVE What is it that we must believe? We are told in the Bible we must believe that not 205

only did Jesus shed His blood and die for us, but that he rose again from the dead and is alive today. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God have raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:9-10) 3. CONFESS: CONFESS With the mouth confession is made unto salvation. What is it that we say? We must say what we believeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that Jesus is our Saviour. We must say what the Bible says about usâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that God is our Father and we have become His children. 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 (John 1:12). Throughout the ages mankind has sought eternal life, never understanding that we are already eternal beings, destined to live forever somewhere. To live forever in a state of separation from God is a frightening thought.

206

Prayer of Confession You can make sure that you are right with God by turning to Him and praying this prayer: “God, I am a sinner in need of a Saviour. I REPENT, REPENT and I ask you to forgive me of all my sin. “I BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is your Son that He shed His blood so I might be forgiven, that He rose again from the dead, and He is coming back again. “I CONFESS Him now as my Saviour. I will live for you as you show me how. Amen.” By believing in Jesus Christ and receiving Him as your Saviour, you will turn your life in a new direction. You can be at peace with God knowing you will live forever with Him with A Favour Flavoured Dream.

SCRIPTURE SCRIPTURES TO MEDITATE ON God only Matters not man: Psalm 34:5 "Hey looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed." Psalm 23:5 “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” Isaiah 26:9 “With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.” 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him.

My Prayer For YOU Deuteronomy 28:128:1-14 I pray that If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestockâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you. The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in obedience to him. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. The LORD will grant you abundant prosperityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your groundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them. AMEN! 216
