THE PARABLE OF ROARING POVERTY IN THE COLLEGE OF PROSPERITY (PART 4) – FAITHFULNESS IS A FRUIT OF THE SEED OF FAITH

14868. EVERLASTING FATHER, WE THANK YOU AS WE STEP INTO THE 6TH DAY OF OUR FRUIT FAST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUSTAINING GRACE AND THE EARTHQUAKE TESTIMONIES OVER THE LAST 6 DAYS. THANK YOU FOR DIVINE INTIMACIES OF YOUR HOLIEST CHAMBER. BE THOU GLORIFIED O LORD ABOVE THE HEAVENS!

14869. THE PARABLE OF ROARING POVERTY IN THE COLLEGE OF PROSPERITY (PART 4) – FAITHFULNESS IS A FRUIT OF THE SEED OF FAITH

THE HOLY SPIRIT BADE ME TO PREPARE YOU FOR WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TOMORROW THURSDAY 1ST OF AUGUST WHEN WE WILL BREAK OUR FRUIT FAST, SO PAY DILIGENT ATTENTION TO TONIGHT’S MESSAGE.

THAT LADY FROM KENYA SAID SHE FOUGHT FOR SO LONG, AND SUFFERED FOR SO LONG IN THE HANDS OF HER WICKED UNCLE. MANY OF US HAVE BEEN DOING THE WRONG THINGS FOR SO LONG, AND WE HAVE SUFFERED FOR SO LONG TOO!

MAY YOU RECEIVE THE LIGHT TO SEE AND DO THE RIGHT THINGS FROM TONIGHT SO THAT EVERYTHING WRONG WITH YOUR DESTINY CAN BE CORRECTED IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME

ALL THOSE LITTLE, LITTLE TESTS WE FAILED ARE PRODUCTS OF FAITH. THEY ARE THE SEEDS OF FAITH. IF YOU FAILED BY IGNORING OR FORGETTING THE SEED OF FAITH, HOW WOULD YOU HAVE THE TREE OR EAT THE FRUIT OF FAITHFULNESS FROM THAT SEED OF FAITH YOU THREW AWAY?

YESTERDAY, I TOLD YOU NOT TO BLAME THE WICKED SERVANT WHO BURIED 1 TALENT OR 1 BAG OF GOLD BECAUSE MAJORITY OF US ARE LIKE THAT FELLOW!

I SAID DON’T BLAME HIM BECAUSE, THE LITTLE TESTS WERE TOO LITTLE AND SEEMINGLY INSIGNIFICANT TO RECKON WITH!

THOSE LITTLE TESTS ARE THE INVISIBLE SEEDS OF FAITH. (HEBREWS 11:1) “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN.”

IF YOU’RE IGNORANT OF THE TRUTH ABOUT A THING, YOU WILL END UP ABUSING THAT THING. “ABUSE” IS A COMBINATION OF TWO WORDS – ABNORMAL USE

THAT FELLOW BURIED A BAG OF GOLD. THAT’S HOW MANY OF US ABUSE THE MANY LITTLE OPPORTUNITIES OF LIFE BECAUSE WE DIDN’T KNOW IT’S A TEST FROM GOD

THAT MY DAUGHTER IN ABUJA PASSED A VERY TINY TEST OF FAITH YESTERDAY. SHE FELT THE TUG OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN HER HEART TO LAY HANDS AND HEAL A SICK BOY OF A POOR FRUIT SELLER, AND SHE RESPONDED ACCORDINGLY! BABY BRIGHT WAS MADE WHOLE INSTANTLY! AND WAS ALSO BLESSED WITH BONUS OF MONEY IN THOUSANDS WHICH ARE STILL POURING IN FROM NIGERIA, THE USA, UK AND THE CARIBBEANS.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE MISSED THE LITTLE TESTS OF FAITH? HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE LOST THE BIG HARVESTS OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS FOR OUR LIVES BECAUSE OF THAT IGNORANCE?

AFTER THIS FAST, YOU WILL NEVER MISS OR LOSE ANY OPPORTUNITY OF DESTINY BREAKTHROUGHS AGAIN, NO MATTER HOW TINY AND INSIGNIFICANT, IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME.

THE REASON WHY MANY OF US SUFFERED UNDULY FOR SO LONG IS BECAUSE, WE WERE IGNORANT OF THE MYSTERY OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS FROM THE THE TINY OR INVISIBLE TESTS OF FAITH!

I WANT YOU TO DRINK DEEP INTO THIS SCRIPTURES BEFORE WE CONTINUE:

LUKE 16:10-13 (NIV):
10. “Whoever can be TRUSTED with VERY LITTLE can also be TRUSTED with MUCH, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

11. So if you have not been TRUSTWORTHY in handling WORLDLY WEALTH, who will TRUST you with TRUE RICHES?

12. And if you have not been TRUSTWORTHY with SOMEONE ELSE’S property, who will give you property of YOUR OWN?

13. “No one can serve TWO MASTERS. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. YOU CANNOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND MONEY.

LUKE 16:10-13 (NLT):
10. “If you are FAITHFUL in LITTLE things, you will be FAITHFUL in LARGE ONES. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.

11. And if you are UNTRUSTWORTHY about WORLDLY WEALTH, who will TRUST you with the TRUE RICHES of heaven?

12. And if you are not FAITHFUL with OTHER PEOPLE’S things, why should you be TRUSTED with things of YOUR OWN?

13. “No one can serve TWO MASTERS. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND BE ENSLAVED TO MONEY.”

LUKE 16:10-13 (KJV):
10. He that is FAITHFUL in that which is LEAST is FAITHFUL also in MUCH: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

11. If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS MAMMON, who will commit to your TRUST the TRUE RICHES?

12. And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER MAN’S, who shall give you that which is YOUR OWN?

13. No servant can serve TWO MASTERS: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. YE CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON.

14870. GOD GAVE YOU A JOB AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF FRUSTRATIONS AND STAGNATIONS, AND YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT JOB WAS A LITTLE TEST OF FAITH FROM GOD.

IN 12 MONTHS, YOU PAID TITHES TO GOD ONLY 3 OUT OF 12 SALARIES IN A YEAR BECAUSE YOU HAVE MANY COMMITMENTS AND LONG AWAITING BURDENS AND DEBTS TO CLEAR, SO YOU POSTPONE AND FORGOT ABOUT PAYING TITHES TO GOD.

MEANWHILE, YOU NEVER FAILED TO GIVE UNTO CAESAR WHAT BELONGS TO CAESAR, BUT BECAUSE GOD IS SILENT, BECAUSE GOD IS INVISIBLE, BECAUSE GOD GAVE YOU FREEWILL TO DO WHAT YOU LIKE WITHOUT FORCING ANY CHOICE ON YOU, YOU NOW CHOOSE TO PAY CAESAR AT THE EXPENSE OF GOD!

DON’T TELL ME GOD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CAESAR IN YOUR LIFE! PLEASE DON’T TELL ME GOD’S TRUE RICHES ARE GREATER THAN UNRIGHTEOUS MAMMON IN YOUR LIFE! DON’T TELL ME YOU TRUST AND OBEY A GOD YOU CAN’T TRUST WITH YOUR TITHES

…HELP ME, HOLY SPIRIT…

HEAR THIS TRUTH FROM THE MOUTH OF RABBONI HIMSELF: THE REASON WHY YOU WAITED FOR THE BIG OPPORTUNITY OR BIG TESTS IN VAIN IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE FAILED OR IGNORED THE SMALL TESTS! MANY OF THE TIMES GOD DOES NOT BRING BIG TESTS WHEN YOU PASSED THE SMALL TESTS, HE JUST USES THE YARDSTICK OR BENCHMARK OF THE LITTLE, LITTLE TESTS YOU HAVE PASSED TO SCORE YOU EXCELLENT IN THE BIG TESTS THAT YOU WON’T NEED TO SIT FOR EVER AGAIN!

YOU’RE SO SHREWD AND DILIGENT AND SMART AND THOROUGH, AND AND WISE AND FAITHFUL AND PRUDENT, AND GENEROUS INVESTOR WHEN IT COMES MONEY MATTERS ON YOUR BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH FELLOW MEN, BUT YOU’RE SO SLOPPY, AND SLACK, AND UNFAITHFUL AND FOOLISH, AND CARELESS AND SELFISH IN MONEY MATTERS WHEN IT COMES TO GOD AND HIS KINGDOM.

IF YOU CAN’T TRUST AND OBEY GOD IN THE LITTLE 10% OF YOUR INCOMES, HOW COULD YOU EXPECT HIM TO TRUST YOU WITH HIS TRUE RICHES OF INESTIMABLE GLORY?

14871. YOU HAVE NEVER FAILED TO PAY WORKER’S SALARIES IN YOUR COMPANY, AND IN TWO YEARS, YOU HAVE NEVER PAID TITHES TO GOD!

YOU CLAIM IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU HAVE NOT MADE PROFITS, BUT YOU’RE EATING AND PAYING SCHOOL FEES AND OTHER PERSONAL OBLIGATIONS!

IF YOU’RE NOT MAKING “PROFITS” YOUR COMPANY SHOULD HAVE CLOSED DOWN AND GONE BANKRUPT IN TWO YEARS! YOU WOULDN’T BE EXPANDING YOUR BUSINESS TO OTHER NATIONS! THE ACCOUNTANT OF HEAVEN IS RECKONING! SINCE YOU’RE INVITING BANKRUPTCY WITH YOUR MOUTH AND YOUR ACTIONS, YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU HAVE “SOWN”!

…HELP ME AGAIN AT THIS POINT, HOLY SPIRIT DIVINE…

DO YOU KNOW THAT IN 8 OUT OF 10 CASES OF ROARING POVERTY, IT IS UNFAITHFULNESS WHETHER OF A NATION OR OF A LEADERSHIP OR OF AN INDIVIDUAL, THAT IS RESPONSIBLE?

POVERTY IS A CURSE AND I HAVE LIVED AND SWAM IN THE OCEAN OF POVERTY BEFORE, IT WAS THE AMAZING GRACE OF GOD THAT DREW ME OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY OF CHRONIC POVERTY, AND SET MY FEET ON THE ROCK OF GLORY OF TRUE RICHES OF MY RABBONI.

LET ME SHOW YOU THE INCREDIBLE SECRETS OF HOW I GOT OUT FROM THE PIT OF ROARING POVERTY BY LADDER OF FAITHFULNESS!

FIRST WRITE DOWN THAT WORD “FAITHFULNESS” ON A BIG WHITE CARDBOARD AND LOOK AT IT FOR SEVERAL HOURS OF MEDITATION EVERY DAY! YOU WILL HEAR THE CONVICTING VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKING TO YOU WHERE YOU HAVE MISSED HIS LITTLE, LITTLE TESTS OF FAITH!

IN THE DAYS OF MY POVERTY, I KEPT A FAITHFUL RECORD …HOLY SPIRIT… HELP YOUR CHILDREN TO UNDERSTAND THIS DEEP DIMENSION NOW…

ONE DAY, I WAS SHARING WITH PEOPLE HOW I SQUATTED IN AND OUT OF 27 PLACES IN THE DAYS WHEN POVERTY WAS MY TWIN BROTHER. MY WIFE ASKED ME, HOW I REMEMBERED THE NUMBER OF THE PLACES WE SQUATTED! I TOLD HER THAT I FAITHFULLY KEPT RECORDS OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS IN THE DAYS OF MY POVERTY.

EVERY DIME OF CHARITY OR GIFT, I RECORD THEM, WHETHER THEY BE OF MONEY OR MATERIAL. IF YOU GIVE ME BISCUITS TO EAT OR FOR MY CHILD. I RECORD IT AND ESTIMATE IT’S VALUE. I KNEW I HAD NO CENTS TO PAY TITHES ON ORDINARY BISCUITS, BUT I KEEP RECORDS! AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY OF CASH, I PAY TITHE OF THAT BISCUIT AND TITHE OF CASH INCOME.

IF YOU GIVE ME SHOE AND DRESS, I RECORD IT, AND ESTIMATE THE VALUE SO, I CAN TAKE NOTE TO PAY TITHE ON THAT GIFT AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNED MOMENT OF CASH INCOME.

AT THE END OF EVERY MONTH, I TOTALLED THE GIFTS AND MONETARY INCOMES AND FIND THE ESTIMATED VALUE, AS WELL AS 10% OF THEM, AND CHECK TO SEE IF I’VE BEEN ABLE TO PAY THE LITTLE, LITTLE EQUIVALENT OF THE TITHES.

THOSE WERE MY LITTLE TESTS! I HAD NO JOB, I HAD NO EMPLOYMENT, NO STEADY INCOME, NO ROOF OVER MY HEAD! NO GUARANTEED REGULAR FOOD ON MY TABLE, BUT I KNEW THE ACCOUNTANT OF HEAVEN IS COUNTING AND RECKONING THE FLOW OF VERY LITTLE AND INSIGNIFICANT GIFTS AND BLESSINGS COMING INTO MY LIFE.

HOW DID I KNOW THIS?
GOD SAID AS TINY AND SEEMINGLY INNUMERABLE AS THE VERY HAIRS ON MY HEAD, THEY’RE ALL NUMBERED! (LUKE 12:7)

IF THE ACCOUNTANT OF HEAVEN COUNTS AND NUMBERED THE HAIRS ON MY HEAD, DO YOU THINK HE WON’T COUNT THE FLOW OF TINY, LITTLE, INSIGNIFICANT GIFTS GIVEN ME BY MEN IN THE DAYS OF POVERTY?

NEVER WAIT UNTIL YOU’RE RICH BEFORE YOU GIVE OR SOW INTO OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES, BECAUSE, YOU WILL NEVER BE RICH UNTIL YOU GIVE OR SOW!

AT TIMES, IF I WAS GIVEN THREE MATERIAL GIFTS, AND I KNOW I DON’T HAVE MITES IN MY POCKET TO PAY TITHES OF THEM TO GOD. I JUST MADE SURE I GAVE ONE OF THE 3 GIFTS OUT EITHER TO THE POOR IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH WHO ARE LESS PRIVILEGED THAN MY CASE.

ONE DAY SOMEBODY GAVE ME A JEEP 4WD VEHICLE INSIDE MY POVERTY THE FIRST THING THAT OCCURRED TO ME IS HOW WOULD I EVER PAY TITHE ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN I DON’T EVEN HAVE MONEY TO BUY FUEL. GOD WAS SMILING, AND I DIDN’T KNOW!

I DROVE THE JEEP TO WHERE THEY’RE SELLING CARS, AND ASKED THEM TO HELP ESTIMATE THE WORTH OF IT. AFTER, I KNEW THE WORTH, I CALCULATED 10% OF THE VALUE AND RESOLVED TO CARRY PASSENGERS FREE OF CHARGE FOR THE WORTH OR VALUE OF MY TITHES ON THAT JEEP EVERY TIME I TRAVEL.

GOD HONOURED MY FAITH, I DIDN’T HAVE TO FINISH PAYING THE WORTH OF THAT TITHE BEFORE GOD BROUGHT FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGHS TO MY LIFE. ABRAHAM DIDN’T HAVE TO SLAUGHTER ISAAC BEFORE THE ALL-SUFFICIENT GOD SUPPLIED A RAM FOR ABRAHAM!

LONG AFTER MY UNCEASING BREAKTHROUGHS CAME, I STUMBLED ON THE BOOK I WAS RECORDING THE LITTLE MERCIES OF GOD, AND COUNTED THAT I HAD GONE THROUGH SQUATTING IN 27 PLACES IN ABOUT 2 YEARS OF ROARING POVERTY. I ALSO DISCOVERED I GAVE OUT NOTHING LESS THAN A THIRD OF ALL THAT CAME INTO MY LIFE DURING THAT HORRIBLE PERIOD OF POVERTY, AND IT HAS NOT CHANGED TILL DATE EVEN IN THIS SEASON OF ROARING PROSPERITY!

I’M NOT I’M NOT ASKING YOU TO PAY TITHE OF 33% OF ALL YOUR INCOMES TO GOD WHEN YOU’RE NOT EVEN FAITHFUL IN 10%! GOD TOO IS NOT ASKING YOU TO DO THAT!

MY EMPHASIS IS ON FAITHFULNESS TO A FAITHFUL GOD WHO NEVER FORSAKES NOR ABANDON YOU IN TIMES OF HARDSHIP!
