[Music] thank you for joining us for another power packed message from dr miles monroe provided by monroe global incorporated and monroeglobal.com we transform followers into leaders and leaders into agents of change we hope that this message is a blessing to you as you advance your life and discover your purpose now let's go into the message so talk about the key principles of business and wealth from the kingdom perspective let me begin with a few comments about wealth when people talk about wealth they normally think about money i don't i want to give you seven spheres of wealth that you must focus on you must be wealthy in seven areas or you will be poor the first area of wealth is spiritual wealth the bible calls this being rich toward god if your spiritual life is not in order and you have a billion dollars in the bank you are poor what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose the most important thing he has his soul so you want to focus on wealth in your spirit life the second sphere of wealth in the kingdom is so local wealth solid wealth means intellectual and emotional development you must focus on developing yourself intellectually god gave you a brain he expects it to be developed god gave you a brain with nothing in it it's like a hard drive on a computer it is up to you to decide what you download it's called learning it's important for you to become very wealthy in your soul your soul consists of your mind your will and your emotions it is not to your benefit to have a billion dollars in the bank but don't have the intelligence to invest it don't have the knowledge to multiply it and don't have the wisdom to invest it and that's why solomon was smart when god asked him what do you want i will give you anything you want solomon did not ask for money he asked god for so local wealth he said give me knowledge wisdom and understanding later on solomon wrote this in his book called proverbs he said wisdom brings wealth one of the students of jesus his name was john wrote a little book that is tucked away in your bible is third john he said i wish above all things that you would prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers that means your health depends on your mental state your prosperity depends on your soul local development i always tell people when i train them in business that wealth is actually an idea it's not money wealth has to be first in the mind so you must be wealthy in your soul the third set of wealth that you must focus on in the kingdom of god is what we call physical wealth you know it's interesting that stephen jobs one of the richest men in the history of the world who founded apple computer with a partner he was worth hundreds of billions of dollars but not one dollar could save him from cancer in his pancreas and his liver he died with a billion dollars in the bank he had he had material wealth but he didn't have physical wealth no matter how much you know no matter how much you are talented and gifted if your body breaks down you are poor this is why john said i wish above all things that you may what prosper and be in health nothing is worse than laying on your back with some big ideas you must become wealthy in your physical body that means when you leave this place you must make a decision to focus on becoming wealthy healthy you may wonder why god when he created the nation of israel he gave them all kinds of wonderful laws but then he focused on suddenly physical laws of their bodies and he gave them a hygiene list he gave them a health program he gave them even specific foods to eat and would not to eat he was focusing on the third area of wealth your body by god's grace my wife and i and my children have not been sick for 36 years not one disease in our house now of course i live under the kingdom culture but we also eat properly we exercise we drink good water and we feed our minds good books and listen to good cds and dvds all that is a part of my health we even protect ourselves from negative company because that can affect your health if you stay around people who complain all the time finding fault all the time always criticizing you are in a diseased environment you must prosper in your area of physical wealth the fourth state of wealth is social wealth we don't think about this sometimes but it's important for you to become wealthy in your friendships wealthy in your family relationship wealthy in your relationships with people in your environment i can't stress how important this is you are as poor as the friends you have you are as wealthy as the friends you keep if your marriage relationship is not working you are sick it's called social disease if your relationship with your parents is negative and there's stress between you and your mother and your father unforgiveness and anger you are poor in your social wealth this is why jesus stressed forgive those who offend you do good to those who despitefully use you pray for those who persecute you why keep the relationships pure for your own wealth and then he says do good to everyone do you know that your success may depend on someone who you don't like sometimes you go to a bank to borrow money for your company and the person who's in charge of the department is someone who you offended and now they hold your life in their hands tell you never be nice to me you might need me next week be wealthy in your relationships most of the time you don't need money you need people with money jesus was smart he kept people around him who had access to resources some of you wonder why jesus kept mary around him you know the lady from magdalen the little village the lady was loaded she came and put money on his body and based on the calculation of today's currency it was between 15 and 18 000 us dollars she had it in a pocket in her pocket he said lady i'm gonna heal you and stay with me see sometimes your problem is all your friends are poor if you are poor and i'm poor we are bad company clap right there somebody [Applause] joseph was in prison watch joseph joseph is in jail in prison and joseph knew i have to develop some relationships here i have no money i have no favor i'm in prison i can't get out so let me make some friends that's your problem you're making the wrong friends joseph decided to make friends with two people who knew pharaoh sometimes it ain't what you know it's relationship and joseph cultivated that relationship with those two people and he told them now look we're friends he even solved their problems he interpreted their dreams for them and he says now when you come out if you come out remember me and you remember what happened eh one of them came out and got his jaw back in the office of the president of egypt and when the government had a problem he said to the president the pharaoh i know a young man everybody say i know say it again i know means relationship you know what's wrong with you the wrong people know you i know a young man in prison who can solve your problem it was a relationship that brought joseph into prime ministership your relationships my wife and i protect ourselves by loving one another i must keep my marriage pure i must keep my relationships strong with my wife to protect my life the bible says if you are angry with your wife the lord will not hear your prayer that's the power of a wife she can shut down your prayer life that's in the bible so if your husband or your wife is not here or they are here you better talk to them every day and say please keep the prayer lines open for me everybody say relationships you have to be wealthy in relationships number five you must be wealthy in your influential life influence you must be rich in the area of influence god wants you to be wealthy in your capacity to bring change in the world and you do that by making yourself valuable what kind of influence do you have in your family in your community in your church what is your area of influence you must be wealthy in the account of influence if my son and daughter wants money from any bank all they have to do is use my name they don't need to fill out forms they don't need to be investigated the power of the wealth of influence jesus used this power often he said when you come to the father don't ask anything in your name because you don't have any influence come on somebody clap right there he said if you want to get something done use what my name and my father will give you everything he says i wonder if your name is good have you developed your name have you protected it do you safeguard it and the last area of wealth that you must develop in your life if you're going to make a difference in your world is in the area of community wealth community wealth you must be wealthy in your community experience and that means you must be able to improve the life of other people if you help other people get what they want you will develop wealth in the community if you solve other people's problems you'll become wealthy in the community if you help the poor the destitute the drug addicts the the people who are abandoned you are developing wealth in the community if you reach out to those who cannot help themselves you're becoming rich in community wealth and believe me friends when your funeral comes people will talk about your community wealth more than any other wealth they will never talk about your money at your funeral they will never talk about your car or the house you lived in they'll always talk about your community wealth and if you don't have community wealth your funeral will be short [Music] [Applause] your obituary is your community wealth it's what you do for other people that makes you rich in the community it's not the house you buy write this down please you are never remembered for what you saved you are remembered for what you gave we don't remember steve jobs billions of dollars we remember the iphone he gave us it's what he gave us we remember not his money don't focus on material money focus on wealth in these areas and you will never be forgotten and number seven generational wealth the most important one focus on becoming wealthy in the area of generations the bible says a good man leaves an inheritance not just to his children but to the children of those children you are wealthy if your grandchildren can benefit from what you are doing i repeat this you are wealthy if your grandchildren can benefit from what you are doing if you consume everything on yourself you are poor you know my my wife and i when we were planning our future together we decided we would plan to buy properties for our great grandchildren because we wanted to prove the bible so we bought a lot of real estate before our kids are even married not for them but for their children's children we've already bought them they paid for so according to god i'm a good man a good man does what leave an inheritance to his children's children generational wealth if everything dies with you you are a failure if you leave a mortgage for your children to pay you are a bad man not a good woman ah it's quiet now see in the kingdom of god you must think generational all the time leave your children a blessing not a curse leave them not assets deficit some of you are praying for god to bless you with material resources and god is refusing to give it to you because he was waiting for this session because he knew you were not ready for wealth you would waste it you would consume it on yourself true wealth is in these seven areas go home and teach them to your sons and daughters let your children see this list and tell them my dear daughter and son this is wealth first become rich toward god then let your soul become wealthy read and study and learn and grow and buy dr monroe's books develop your physical body don't smoke don't drink don't look at evil things don't read evil material don't consume drugs don't abuse your body with no sleep don't have sex out of marriage take care of your body become wealthy in your physical body tell them where wealth is and notice on that list i don't have money because money is not wealth i hope you will never forget me today take me into your future i am a wealthy man because my son and my daughter are overseeing my investments imagine the feeling i have that my son and daughter will protect what i worked for that's wealth that my wife loves me still that's well that my board has been with me for 35 years the same board that's wealth that my friends who have had are still with me for 50 years this is wealth and the new friends i'm gaining can be assets to my life this is wealth write this down please wealthy thinking i'm gonna see now who's in the room there are three types of people in the world there's poor people rich people and wealthy people they are completely different if you want to know how poor people think and rich people think and whether people think then write these down poor people always think about money don't look now there's one right behind you don't look keep looking at me [Applause] everything they talk about is money i got enough i need more i need to get raised i need more money i don't have enough i can't pay this oh if i had some more money oh god give me money oh bless me money it's money money these are poor people rich people are different they think about things this is my car this is my suit this is my house do you like my bag look at my look at my shirt i got a nice blouse look at my shoes large antennas look at that nice building i built like they talk about things look at my boat look at my yacht these are rich people they are crazy people that's all they talk about what they have but wealthy people are different wealthy people think about ideas this is where god lives this is the arena where god wants you to come god sent you to this meeting to get ideas to get new principles of his work and his word a man with ideas is always rich a poor man is a man who has no ideas so wealthy people don't think about money they never talk about their things they talk about ideas they give people ideas they discuss ideas this is the level of kingdom thinking are you listening to me i'm giving you the secret to coming out of poverty in your country you must stop looking for money money is not the problem the kingdom of god is not built on money it's built on ideas for you spiritual people let me explain it to you okay hey boy say john chapter one okay write john chapter 1 down on your notes john chapter 1 verse 1. there's a verse that you think you know it says in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god wait a minute now this is deep stuff here and then it says all things were made by the word okay it's good verse 12 and the word became flesh wow boy this word must be important eh okay write the word word down in your language word the word word in this verse is a hebrew word translated into a greek word greek new testament is the word logos o g o s write it down the screaming logos the word logos do you know what it means it means expressed idea write it down expressed idea this verse of scripture is very difficult to translate because it doesn't make sense in your language for example here's the way it would be read in the beginning was god's expressed idea god's idea was god and god's idea created everything and god's idea became flesh and dwelt among us see i told you the most powerful thing on earth is idea god sent ideas to save the world because the world had the wrong ideas jesus christ is god's idea in a body you are as poor as your ideas you are as rich as your ideas jesus christ created all things okay ideas create say it so the bible says all things were made by who him him who the word the word who ideas expressed do you know everything in this room was first an idea your shoe was first an idea your dress was first an idea your watch was first an idea your ipad was first an idea this building was first an architectural idea this meeting was first an idea everything begins as an idea so no idea nothing small idea small thing big idea big thing so i wonder which one are you are you poor are you rich or are you wealthy i'm not sure but we'll find out oh boy write this down please money is pursued people pursue money riches is accumulated but wealth is different wealth is created and they are different god doesn't want you to pursue money and he doesn't want you to accumulate things we read it a moment ago a man's life does not consist in the things that he accumulates if you need things to feel important you are poor you don't need things to feel important you make things important because they come into your life but wealthy people create money this is why in the middle of a global crisis wealthy people don't panic they think if you study jesus every time he was caught in a crisis he had a plan you think you don't panic you think it takes the same energy to worry as it takes to plan so use your energy properly panic takes energy planning takes energy so convert your energy i have built a multi-million dollar organization i've been sitting at board meetings all my life i am on the boards of hospitals and banks and insurance companies and we sit in meetings with big issues and i always sit in the meetings and i am chairman of some of those banks or those board meetings of hospitals and my job is to make sure that there are solutions that's why they want me to be chairman because they know this guy never panics why he's in the kingdom of god he has access to wisdom they don't have glory halle blue yeah when pharaoh asks joseph where did you get this wisdom because he knew it didn't come from the university of egypt joseph says my god everybody say it my god gives me wisdom that means god gave me this idea of digging holes in the desert and putting the wheat in the holes it was a god idea it was a business idea it saved the economy of egypt another thought to write down money is collected poor people are always collecting money they save it in their bosom save it under the mattress save it in a hole outside the tent always saving stuff rich people store money they like to hide it in banks hiding investment companies but wealthy people are different they literally take money and they multiply it rich people multiply money they multiply they grow money i want you to go home and ask god for wisdom to multiply everything you have there's always more in which you have when we were building our building for our ministry to meet enough meetings in we designed the largest building in the island and we built it and i told the board we will not build this building as a church building we're going to build this as a community center so we designed this beautiful building and we named it not a church name we call the building the diplomats center for diplomats because we are kingdom people and we are ambassadors an ambassador is a diplomat so we designed a building beautiful auditorium first class lobby with tiles and we call it the diplomat center the bathrooms with marble nice beautiful parking lot lights and every church attacked me they put me in the newspapers the preacher said that i was a cult because i didn't have a steeple on the building didn't have pews in the building didn't have an altar didn't have candles there was no cross in the building they said you are not from god no problem but what they didn't know was i'm a businessman and i realized i gotta pay this building off debt free so we designed the building in a way that it can be used for any function we put first class technology in it television cameras lights auto audit uh audio equipment big stage first class now our building is the number one building being used by the government of our country by the universities graduations high school commencements and they got to pay us plenty money clap clap now let me explain why some of you pastors built a church building you only use it twice a week you should be ashamed of yourself that means for five days that building is sitting there generating no revenue you have to pay for the blocks and the bricks you have to pay for the electricity the building is dead for five days producing nothing you are abusing god's resources wealth multiplies the rich man says look at our church building look how beautiful it is look at the blocks and jesus said not one of them will remain on one another he laughed at the building because they were worshiping the building instead of using it how do you think there was a lady that came to my office and this lady listen this woman real story she came off and she was weeping and she told my secretary i have to see dr monroe now or i am going to die well thank god my wife didn't need to see me at the same time because there would have been a funeral you get that next week so i let her come in the office she sat down and she just sat on the chair she said dr monroe this is it my life is over and she began to weep and i said what happened she said oh i got two children no husband and i just lost my job and i have no income and this is my last paycheck i don't know what to do i'm gonna die and she's weeping and i said to her why are you crying she said you didn't hear what i said i just lost my job at the hotel they laid me off and i have no money and i only got two children to feed and rent to pay and light to pay and water to pay and she's weeping and i said my dear you have no problems you're thinking wrong she said what do you mean i said ah listen i said do you have a oven in your house yes how often do you use it every sunday i said you have an oven in your house that you paid for with god's money and you only use it once a week yes i said so for five for six days your oven is dead yes i said you ain't broke are you not poor you're just not thinking what do you mean i said look i said take your last check first pay your tithes what i said yeah please i said protect yourself against heaven's problems okay i said i go to the food store with the rest of it buy some flour and some raisins and some oats i said because i know you i remember you you made me some cookies before you got a gift yes i said make some cookies with the money bake them in your oven and take them back to the hotel where you were fired from and give free cookies to everybody in the hotel what i said obey me she said but this is my last check i said don't worry about it right now just follow my instructions i'm giving you an idea everybody's the idea so she said okay pasta so she went home she baked the cookies put my little plastic bags and took them back to the hotel she gave some to the manager that laid her off free cookies gave them to all the workers all the administrators everybody had cookies the next morning she got phone calls any more cookies she said yes i'll make some and she got orders in one day for 15 dozen cookies she had to go out and buy more flour she baked those cookies within one month she was baking 50 dozen cookies a month one year later she had a staff of 22 people on a cookie factory today her cookies are in all the big stores in the country she's a multi-millionaire and she pays ties to the church come on praise the lord amen right there when she made her first 50 000 u.s she came to see me and she was dressed right down in all of her clothes there she was a ceo of a company you know what i mean a cooking industry and she said i just come to tell you thanks she said the best thing that ever happened to me was being fired today she's the number one cookie woman in the country driving in a fine car never sought for money she never looked for money she got an idea and then she gave me an envelope she says this is the person they tell you thanks when she left i opened the envelope hallelujah ten thousand u.s dollars i said thank you very much lord and i say lord please give me more cookie women [Applause] she was sitting on wealth in her house it was in an oven she wasn't using i wonder what's in your house you are not poor you need to think let me close with the scripture genesis chapter 26 does god want you wealthy let's find out it says in genesis chapter 26 verse 12 isaac planted crops in that land and the same year he reaped a hundredfold because the lord blessed him that was in this land right here the man became what rich okay that's that's he was no longer poor he became rich that's the second level but watch god it says on his wealth what continued to grow he moved into wealth now and became what very not rich wealthy that means he shifted from material to ideas he had so many flocks and herds and employers staff he hired other people gave them jobs because he pursued god's will for his life and the bible says the philistines what envied him my question is how many rich people envy you and this is the problem paul says if you're going to win the jew you got to make him jealous how do you make a rich man jealous i'm gonna leave that right there you figured it all by yourself you are very smart people the philistines envied him because god made him wealthy therefore god does not give wealth let's read it deuteronomy 8 verse 17. god says when you become wealthy you may say to yourself my hands and my strength have produced this wealth for me but that's not true he says remember the lord for it is he watch this who gives you what not wealth the ability to produce wealth wow god doesn't give money he gives ideas i'm going to leave you now but i want you to take your pen and write down this simple list the word ability here's what it means it means ideas it means schemes concepts and projects god will give you ideas he will give you schemes he will give you concepts he will give you the ability to produce wealth he says if you produce something it can never run out if you can produce something you always have it poor people lose money rich people lose things wealthy people keep producing keep producing god says i don't want you to pray for something that runs out pray for something that keeps producing ideas keep producing i met bill gates for the first time in tacoma washington i was speaking at a leadership conference and his assistant was there and when she heard me speak she was on his board she came to me and said that was the best information i ever heard about leadership she says i want you to meet mr gates what you're teaching we need to program this into our systems i was so surprised i said yes ma'am i'd like to meet bill gates who wouldn't like to meet bill gates so the next day she set up lunch tacoma washington and we ran out there that's where his house is you know in washington out there and we went for lunch and i was so humble we met at this beautiful restaurant and you know he's such a humble guy i don't know a t-shirt blue jeans richest man in the world t-shirt blue jeans tennis shoes only poor people dress up anyhow listen don't look now there might be some around you so we had this awesome lunch together and i was so thrilled to be with him as i was with nelson mandela many other leaders and i i learned a lesson here it is whenever you are with people who are successful never talk about yourself ask questions i just gave you some good advice write it down when you are with successful people don't talk about yourself ask questions and for the one hour and 55 minutes i had the wealthiest man in the world sitting with me and i used every minute asking questions one of my questions to him was why did you refuse to stay on your own board here's an interesting question he said huh he said you very smart guy i said i know i'm smart but i want to know why you're smart why did you you see the board asked him to come on the board so he said okay and he went on the board of microsoft he lasted for one year he said i hate this job and i wanted to know why he left the board of his own company his answer was very simple he said because i'm not a bored man i'm an ideas man he said when i was on the board i stopped creating and microsoft became a victim so i resigned from my own board he said to do what i love the most thinking maybe you're bored is your problem maybe the people that you are around who talk to you are helping your poverty show me your friends and i will show you your future god says i don't give money and i don't give wealth i give you the ability to produce it stand up on your feet i want to pray for your mind tell your neighbor this is the end of poverty tell your neighbour i don't want to be rich i want to be wealthy stand up please thank you put your hand on your head both hands on your head put on your head what you're doing now i did this 41 years ago i put my hand on my head and everything changed i prayed for god to give me what he gave solomon will you for the first time in your life stop praying for things and pray for something else pray for divine wisdom knowledge understanding and divine ideas go ahead ask god right now ask him to forgive you for pursuing money asking to forgive you for accumulating riches ask him to give you the spirit of wealth that you will go home and create answers for problems you will solve problems and not become one that you will give solutions that will be valuable ask god to open your eyes to see a banquet in five loaves and two fish ask me to give you the insight to see a table in a tree ask him to show you the ability to see shoes in a cow oh god raise up from among these people ideas dispenses i pray that wealth will be in their house forevermore and that they will return home with a new mind and a new idea to transform their families may poverty never live in your house again may
