THE ECONOMY OF THE KINGDOM part 2

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you have Covenant Church and viewers around the world that support and watch our programs every Kingdom has a king our king is Jesus every Kingdom has its citizens that's its people every Kingdom has a military and every Kingdom as a financial system usually a financial system is in involves a tax system where people pay taxes to keep the government going to support infrastructure development and so on and so forth when you have Covenant Church we expect people to give offerings and pay tithes but there is a level that is probably above that and that's what I call Kingdom providers where an individual is empowered financially to improve the human family in some way building a school hospital supporting covered 19 cases etc where God can trust you with money and thank you for your giving thank you for your support but I really want you to consider asking God to make you a kingdom provider where God will put significant amounts of revenues into your hands and you can help improve the human family and you can help improve the quality of life for some person I want to thank you for praying that prayer and that God will empower you to become a kingdom provider god bless you you [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] they know anyway [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Hey [Music] yeah [Music] [Music] Oh ha ha [Music] ah [Music] again from the city of Harare Zimbabwe we want to bring you a message and in the last number of weeks I've been talking slightly on the kingdom of God on the theme entering the kingdom and covered various aspects in which the kingdom functions entering the kingdom possessing the kingdom building the kingdom matrix of the kingdom and so on today I'm going to deal with the economy of the kingdom in terms of Kingdom economics Kingdom economics in terms of self sufficiency is important if you look at Christianity as a whole around the world the largest percentage of Christians living below the poverty line and the Bible says that when Jesus came he died that through his death he became poor but through his death that we might be made rich and he's not just rich in love and rich in kindness and rich in peace and wisdom and so on it also refers to having economic sufficiency and so I want to cite in in Kingdom economic year a couple of case studies I think the first one will be taken out of chapter number 13 of Samuel it's around about verse 25 26 27 just to sum up the the story Saul had become king of Israel Israel chose the king and the Bible says that God chose Samuel I'm sending you a man his name is Saul and Saul becomes King in Chapter number 10 you see a number of signs that Sami will gives him and we fast forward the story that in Chapter number 13 of 1st Samuel the Bible says that in Israel they were only two thoughts because the Philistines owned all the foundries they owned all the manufacturing and so that in a time of war all the other armies that Israel was surrounded by had Spears had shields swords knives all Israel had with two swords and the rest of the army were using sticks and throwing stones and using you know ear again to fight the enemy and they were outnumbered outgunned and so on and so when David comes to the scene you find David in Chapter number 17 of the book of Samuel there has been a giant there was named as Goliath he was the oldest of five boys five giants and you see those chants taken down in second Samuel chapter number 21 but there's five Giants and the first giant is going to be Goliath and that giant Goliath is one that attacks the Apostle and so when David comes and finds this giant who's threatening the the armies of Israel for 39 days mornings and 39 nights David arrives on the fortieth morning to bring his brothers some bread and some supplies and here's the Giant threatening the armies of the children of Israel and David says why are you guys allowing this giant to threaten you and so David's older brother says you're so full of mischief you know you want to see the battle you should be there at home looking after your little church a little flock and so on and David says there's no way I'm going to allow this giant to take over and and threaten us and he tells the king he said I'll fight that giant I'll take him out and the King says but you're just a boy that man is an experienced soldier from his you he was trained to be a fighting machine and David says he'll be just like any other enemy I faced because I understand economic Kingdom economics a lion came try to take my money I killed that lion a bear the same thing and this giant will be the same as that and so the scripture then says that David goes to the brook which the the weapons of our warfare are not carnal because they were stones everywhere you could have just pick up stones from the the ground but he didn't do that because the ground was cursed but he went to the waters which is a type of weapons of the Holy Spirit not carnal and he chose five stones one for each of the fivefold ministry the apostle prophet evangelist pastor teacher because the other giants that were coming they were all designed each giant to destroy one aspect of the fivefold ministry and so David then goes and takes the first stone which was marched to destroy this tech against the Apostolic house and when the giant threatens David and says do you think I'm a dog David's response was absolutely you are and I'm going to treat you like a dog and brings down that giant imagine he doesn't go with the sword he goes through the weapon he has but he goes knowing that God is able to take the little that you have in his hand and cause wealth so David went from a few sheep he now owns the head of Goliath he's now entitled to Goliath sword shield spear and the Bible says David took that and put it in his tent because from a shepherd boy in one chapter he now has his own tent and becomes a captain and the Bible says that when the Jews who were afraid so the giant fall and the Philistines saw their champion fall the Philistines began to run and Israel chased them and the Bible says spoiled the Philistines so one person who believed kingdom economics that God is a provider overnight made all of Israel extremely wealthy because they destroyed the Philistines and so the thing that David does when he becomes king as the years go by he then disarms the Philistine economic system he this allows them from owning furnaces to build weapons they start building weapons for themselves and so David becomes King we fast forward now to second Samuel Chapter number 7 because the Philistines declare war against David and David asked the Lord should I go to war or shouldn't I go to all I don't want to use in my own words I don't want to use the national budget to bully economy for a war that's unnecessary and God's system this is this will be the final war you fight the Philistines because they are policies they are destructive and so David now is fully armed no longer stones and sticks destroys the armies of the Philistines and the Bible then talks about David's house becoming secure and God saying I'm building a house for David I'm building a house for his future and for his family system brothers wherever you are in the world no matter how many or you you maybe or maybe you ascend it to a very high along with in life when you begin to follow God's economic Kingdom plan Giants were four before you nations will serve you the Bible says that the earth will yield its increase to you because the earth will be commanded to bless you the Bible says that the heavens will open over your head he will command the rain to fall on your life it will rain in the season of rain your harvests will be abundant he says that even the Reaper will overtake the sower that's how kingdom economics works you'll have more than abundance because God will supply your need according to his riches in glory now we're gonna get seven branches of how economic powers work the Bible says you shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water so the first branch then is trusting in God making God your source say after me say God is my sauce say it again say God is my sauce say three times say God is my sauce God is my sauce called is my sauce so God owns everything through him God through God he supplies all of your need so number one you make God your sauce Jesus Christ becomes the Lord of your life number two number two when you now make God your source you then believe in the Word of God you get the Word of God in your spirit you confess the scripture let the weak say I am strong let the poor say I am rich my God shall supply all of my need according to his riches in glory this is not like a blabbing krabit gospel this is actually truth you confess what you are Romans 4:17 you are calling something that is not as though it already was and so you might be giving a one dollar a week offering be consistent that God if you bless me this year I'll be making sure that I give my dollar every week when when I began to learn about Kingdom economics I didn't have the kind of revenue that I saw others have teach and I were walking and the Harare international conference center was just boats the hotel at that time was named the Sheraton Hotel is now named rainbow towers and the great evangelist Reinhard Bonnke had assembled probably the greatest montage of speakers in the world that his conference called the fire conference and I snuck into that meeting and I'll never forget I heard a man by the name of Kenneth Copeland preach and back in those days we weren't in our organization allowed to go to those kinds of meetings and so I went there I could not deny the anointing then when he was so strong but the thing that was bothering me a lot was the way the women would dress there were women wearing trousers and makeup and so on that was contrary to what we were taught and here were people that were prosperous and dressed the way we were and yet I was we were dressed like true holiness Pentecostal people and didn't even have a vehicle and so when brother Copeland was preaching he said I'm going to receive an offering and I'm going to encourage you because this offerings gonna open doors for you and he made us them he said there's a young Posse in this place you will have Church in this conference center because this conference center was booked not just to serve the needs of the nation for conferences but there's somebody here that you left Church in the center and literally I had no money my missionary pastor had just left and to thank me for the years of serving him and he gave me a watch and so I felt a prompting to give my watch and I'll never forget what I said to the Lord he said give you a watch I said what do you mean give it what give your watch and so my heart was so touched I then took that watch off and I sewed it in that offering and as the years began to go by God began to increase I then said to the Lord I'm going to give you a dollar a week if you give me a dollar I'll give you a dollar a week and so for a single year I was consistent a dollar a week and then I increased to five dollars a week and increased the ten dollars a week every year being consistent I was believing that God would give seed to the sower now a lot of people say all one day when I come into my Millions I'm going to do that it doesn't work that way it is consistency it's a dollar a week for one year two dollars a week for the next year and so on you increase and the day comes where you will be where I am now where you'll be able to give in thousands in in short periods of finance programs it's it's a small beginning but it lands up with massive things father I'm going to do this and you be consistent with it don't worry about what other people are doing you're right and we'll make sure that you keep on giving David was the same way when he bought his system and so yes went by you'll have Covenant chests that having Church just about every Sunday in the conference center it was almost literally like our own building and in my lifetime I received hundreds and hundreds of watches but mostly I've had the wonderful privilege of preaching alongside by the Copeland so many times and praise for me and we keep on talking about that story and we use it as a testimony because God is able to take their little and open a world to you the kingdom of God is a is a world of secrets and when you begin to enter into that world the more God can trust you the more he gives to you and so revelation knowledge and revenues work together and so firstly you trust in the Lord secondly you confess the word number three flying books by successful individuals that are written on on economics and you begin to follow certain principles and disciplines number four have a savings habits make sure you're putting money away I've been saying for years put away at least eighteen percent of your income and if many of you had listened to me you wouldn't be struggling today trying to find food and trying to find money for your rent I'm telling you this thing works amen saving put money away put money away put money away and then invest in good properties find something of value that you can invest in never borrow money unless it's necessary for an asset and I I don't do any business with church people because I don't want to be in con with somebody I am pastoring because I don't want you to be able to preach over the pulpit and they'll think I'm talking about them and so be careful who you enter into partnerships with the chairman or the CEO of ABC Bank in Zimbabwe Lantz mom and eonni made a statement a few years ago that's stuck in my head you know they were asking a question was asked of him in terms of partnership and dr. Lance's friendship is one thing he said make always make sure you believe in an agreement make sure you write stuff down and so if you are going into a partnership including with God make sure you have an agreement because God will keep his end of the bargain and you keep yours I literally have a covenant I've written with God in writing and God and I having a covenant together in terms of Kingdom economics now let me go to number 6 here make sure you are doing scriptures like Deuteronomy 28 over and over again first one to 14 talks about the blessing and the prosperity of God how God will bless you how God will anoint you how God will raise you up and finally let me use a second example which is Solomon Solomon was the child of Bathsheba and the way Bathsheba came into David's life was very weird but somehow God turned that thing around Bathsheba as a son whose name is Solomon and God tells David it is Solomon that will build my house and this Solomon that will raise the people to the pinnacle of blessing and so number seven Solomon now prays for wisdom you got to ask God to give you wisdom James 1:5 says if you lack wisdom ask of God he'll give you wisdom and so you're gonna be like Solomon God give me wisdom and so God said because you have not asked for your enemy's life because you have not asked for wealth and riches because you have not asked for houses and lands I'm going to give you wisdom I'm going to give you an understanding heart and I'm going to add riches in your life and when you read Solomon's financial statement when you look at his balance sheet it is unbelievable the kinds of revenue this man created God bless him in such abundance the Bible says that God added to Solomon's wealth in a way that there was no king that came after him in such a way because when Solomon made a covenant with God and when God seal that come with Solomon in that dream so no Solomon built a temple that was worth some say as much as a sing a trillion American dollars and he didn't even spare the cost and there were so much left over but the crazy thing about it is in this covenant that your God and Solomon had made other nations Kings that come that won't even believers in God began to sew into the Solomon's program in Kingdom economics when you begin to obey the Word of God when you begin to trust God when you begin to believe in God when you have a generous heart and you give and you saw a harvest is coming now there is a problem with an abundant harvest it's called a space problem when God begins to add to you I remember I was sewing clothes I was giving suits and Mike Murdoch was preaching in London and he said he was raising a certain amount of money and he gave an example he said a friend of mine buys me clothes every year in Hong Kong and he said right now I don't have place to put those clothes he said there's somebody here the CGT are going to give it's going to open the door for you to have clothes you won't have room enough for the clothes and so I just wrote the I'm offering and I sold that feed about three months later a young man came to my office and said he'd like to see me and so they asked what it was all about he said no I've brought a suit for Bishop and so he came upstairs he introduced himself and I said thank you for the suit he said bishop you don't understand I've been instructed in the dream he said I know of you but I saw you in a dream and he said for the whole of this year every Sunday I'm going to be dressing you shirt suit tie and shoes so for 52 weeks I was getting a suit tie a shirt and shoes the problem was I had no place to put them mountains of clothes since then brothers the same is true with Motor Vehicles teach and I have sown with given Motor Vehicles away God as Repetto ageless we've given televisions and computers away quietly as repatriated to us the problem is we have a space problem now at our age we're trying to downsize now what do we do all the stuff we have so we give it away it's not even worth selling really well because why would you want to sell when God keeps on giving and so in Kingdom economics when you praying for wisdom at the same time pray for space because you are going to need space for the blessing press down shaken together running over you won't be able to even contain the kind of blessing that God is giving to you if you look at David's example from looking after a handful of sheep to where now he's looking after a nation Solomon's example for many was born from a woman of obscurity to where now he has a thousand wise they these will not love wives they were agreements with Kings so that he didn't go to war and keep Israel in peace for 40 years Solomon had peace for 40 years there were no wars and in the days of Solomon because of Solomon because of his country with God the Bible says every man at his house every man had his his vine every man had a well and the Bible says of Solomon in his day that gold was like stones in somebody's yard it was so abundant everybody became wealthy his son comes after him and breaks the covenant with God and destroys what Solomon had built in 40 years and in within a period of two and a half years that young rebel king Rhea bomb put the nation in all kinds of strife and war I'm telling you a generational blessing is about to be released on your life you make a covenant with God you might not be married you might be might not have have any children even now you can make a claim in kingdom economics god I'm making a covenant with you I'll be at I fail I'll give my offerings I'm contributing to Kingdom Cathedral I'm going to help this AFM pastor finish his church whatever the case might be and you make their covenant with God I'm telling you your children your grandchildren your great-grandchildren will be so blessed this thing is serious Kingdom economics this thing is serious God blessed Abraham he blessed Jacob he blessed Isaac more than Abraham he blessed Jacob more than Isaac and then the children of Israel basically they almost owned the world today because of Kingdom economics when you make a covenant with God God is serious about that he blesses you in such a magnificent way I want to end now with a couple of things in terms of prayers in terms of Kingdom economics your business give it to God God this is my business you've blessed me with but I'm giving it to you we are partners you are my partner and so God then will protect your business if you are in ministry give God your ministry don't say this is my church no it's God's church give God your ministry God this is your ministry the house you have if you're renting all the room you apartments you have or what wherever you are just give that space say God I'm giving you the space we are partners here give God your wardrobe give God your clothes now remember that when you give God something he might say to say to you tomorrow you need to give somebody that car if you don't do it then you are not really a partner with God so a key is make God your partner he will be the silent partner he will protect his assets he will protect his partner my my best story is the life of job him and God they became partners in job chapter number one the Bible talks about jobs wealth and the developed queues God and said the reason Joel is so wealthy is because you've put a hedge around him job and God will partners and when you become a partner with God God will put a hedge around you that nothing can attack that no devourer can take that and so Satan said take the hedge down and let Joe's job lose everything and I'll show you that he's just like any other man he hates you and God said just because you've said that and I know my friend I know my partner I'll take the hedge down but you can't touch his life so God took the edge down and everything that Satan could throw against that man he did it he took all of his assets took all of his servants even took his kids but joke remained with his integrity and job understood the wisdom of God if you read the wisdoms that job manifest even his friends criticized him but when you read the end of the story in job chapter number 42 from verse 10 the Bible says his end was greater than his beginning and that God had given him double all of his trouble and not only did God give him double but God restored him years for every day that Satan attacked job God gave job a year job lived another 140 years after that and so his great great grandchildren because he became a partner with God give - come on Eddie you give back - you trust in God and then he trusts you I'm telling you I'm speaking to people in the country that's struggling I'm speaking to people maybe on a continent where things don't look well I can guarantee you this that when you become a partner with God you believe in his words he will answer your prayer he will come through for you Kingdom Kingdom economics is a real revenue it's a revenue by which the the the Kingdom of Heaven is run it's when Jesus comes down to earth he never begged from anybody he never asked anybody for anything you always told people if you'll give it will be given back to you Jesus paid his way through everything and he proved time and time again that that if you believe in God and God is your source he will supply father I pray that you release angels in the lives of all the men and women here I pray that you released angels to protect their wealth angels to guide them in their wealth and I pray that raise up giants in finance in the kingdom of God for those in the mining sector for those in the agricultural sector construction sector the education sector entertainment sector I pray those in the spiritual religious sector that you raise up giants in Kingdom economics that you will supply every need father we know that money answers all things and you're about to add money to the lives of people here whether you'll be able to solve the problems here in this nation and around the world because money is coming now in in loads and in bundles that are unbelievable and we believe you for it thank you for raising supporters and partners we pray for your blessing on each person that's a giver think about those that are giving towards Kingdom but this world let them be blessed even more you might be now somewhere in New Zealand or you might be someway in Charlotte North Carolina you might be sitting somewhere in the UK stuck in an apartment wondering where your your next meal is coming from you watch your vagina come through for you you watch the sacrifice that God has honored in your life because you honored him you're gonna see kingdom economic come to pass in your life father we thank you for this I pray for your blessing in the name of Jesus amen you might be watching and you may never have had the occasion to give your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ we believe that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and we're going to give you an opportunity now to receive him into your heart and just a simple prayer which we call the believers prayer and if you'll pray with me just everybody even if you prayed this prayer before pray after me Lord Jesus I make you Lord of my life I thank you for dying for me on the cross for shedding your blood and I thank you that your blood has washed away all my sins my sins are removed I thank you for receiving me now from today I will serve you I bless you as you bless me and I really believe you pray that very simple prayer you are now entering into salvation find a
