Prophecy is not an announcement, it is creation; a prophet isn’t merely announcing what would’ve happened anyway, he’s CAUSING it to happen, consistent with the will of God.

There’re many dimensions to the prophetic…

  • Revelatory; which supplies you spiritual information, to the end that your faith’ll be built; and then you’ll have hope— ‘hope maketh not ashamed
  • Creative; it does not just reveal what will happen, but MAKES it happen!

There’s a way you can make declarations and the Devil can thwart it. But there’s a mystery called the Key of David. There are doors that men can shut and doors that , if shut, men can open. But there is a kind of key that opens a door that no man can shut and shut a door that no man can open. That is dominion.

Apostle honors his fellow men of the cloth for coming

It’s one thing to be anointed and gifted but if there is no one to hear you, you are not making your calling and your election show. It is YOUR responsibility to make your calling and your election show…

Kiwi: Wow… Just… Wow. I just don’t know what to say to this. Other than it validates —without clear boundaries— much of the grinding and human effort men are shamed for resorting to to get their names and faces in front of the right, or largest, audiences. And that depends on strength— yet again.

-

“—That means you engage all the principles —including honor— that will validate that you are called. When you honor people they will come to listen to you; when you despise them you will talk to yourself. It’s a principle that many people have ignored to their detriment.

Please do not take people for granted. When God grants you the gift of access to the ears, the hearts, and convictions of men, that's a trust you must protect and guard jealously.

Inasmuch as God has honored us and inasmuch as priesthood comes with its own dimension of honor, we must be vocal and unashamed to appreciate the gift of loyalty, the gift of reception— every time we have the opportunity to communicate the counsel of God and there is someone available to listen, we must not take it for granted. So thank you for coming.

Kiwi: I guess I (mis)read too much into what he was trying to say

One of the assignments of priesthood, if you’re a man of God, is to sit with the Spirit of Wisdom and the Word of God to design a spiritual growth menu that is supposed to build God’s people and to help them attain maturity and stature in the spirit.

It is not until you’ve had a vision or you have a dream of a sermon that God has granted you Wisdom— every man of God is likened, according to Jeremiah 3:15, to a  spiritual chef; the primary menu being Knowledge and Understanding.


Jeremiah 3:15 KJV

And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.


The lopsidedness of a people who’re not men & women of stature can be traced back to the kind of spiritual meal that they may be receiving.

It is my assignment in partnership with the Holy Spirit to ensure that for every time you come and sit here to learn God that:

  1. You must know Him— to have an encounter with Him
  2. You must be able to have access to the Wisdom that comes through life-applicable teachings. Any dimension of spiritual truth that does not have applicability in your life and in this realm is useless, as far as your living is concerned. The truths that you know must edify you and translate themselves into Wisdom that a) improves the quality of your life, b) the quality of you fulfilling your assignment, and c) the quality of the living of others

There’s a lot of spiritual information that is useless as far as revealing Jesus, bringing Him glory, living an exceptional life, and being a bless to humanity is concerned.

You must be careful to edit the things that you learn and know— the Bible says to “be careful lest what you call light be darkness


Luke 11:35 KJV

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.


It is for this reason He gave unto some apostles and prophets, evangelists, teachers, pastors, for the maturing, the perfection of the saints. That the saints now being mature would do the work of the ministry.

Eternal Life = the knowledge of God & Christ, who God has sent


John 17:3 KJV

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.


But it is not enough to know God; you must be equipped with the spiritual arsenal that makes for your victory.

The kind of Christianity that limits your growth to knowing God alone, without equipping you with the requisite level of spiritual arsenal that makes for your victory, is incomplete.

The Bible calls us ambassadors, kings & priests, and tells us that our domain is the earth…


Revelation 5:10 KJV

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.


So in addition to knowing God, which remains our ultimate pursuit, every time you come here and listen/connecting around the world, have it at the back of your mind that every meeting is an opportunity again to be equipped with the spiritual arsenal that makes for your victory— an excelling life.


John 10:10 KJV

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


And the bridge between prophecy and experience is light/understanding.


Ephesians 4:18 KJV

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:


Every service is a campaign against ignorance. To drive ignorance, with an unbending determination, from your life. Ignorance in every area. So that you’re equipped to:

  1. Be a spiritual man
  2. Be a king & priest in experience

You are equipped to be a blessing firstly to yourself, and then, through you, to your world. If this is not happening, we are not in church.

There’re defined spiritual activities that must be happening in a service for it to be called church. Just because believers are gathered and Jesus is mentioned there does not make church happen.

The church is the only authorized platform where the mind of God and the value system of the Kingdom can be communicated. It is the most accurate platform where you learn God and His ways. This is how believers grow.

** Now (0:30:30) the sermon officially begins **

The economic system of the Kingdom


This will be 1 of a 2pt series and won’t be unnecessarily comprehensive; when you’re teaching on complex matters like this it’s wise and better to teach it in parts AND line upon line.

When you bring too much information before some people they may be excited for it but not necessarily become transformed by it.

-


Proverbs 22:2 KJV

The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.


They meet together on earth, earth is the platform that brings them together. But God didn’t make them poor or rich, He made them MEN. Men separated themselves into rich vs poor— men gravitated to different dimensions economically speaking.


Proverbs 22:7 KJV

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.


Not the rich CHRISTIAN. Not the rich BELIEVER. The rich ANYONE will rule over the poor ANYONE.

The rich continent will rule over the poor continent; the rich nation will rule over the poor nation; the rich community will rule over the poor community.

There’s a relationship between wealth and dominion


Psalm 35:27 KJV

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.


Genesis 17:6 KJV

And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV

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.


Ecclesiastes 9:13-16 KJV

This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:

14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.


You have no moral stance to condemn anybody you did not give an opportunity to learn the truth

'Why' gives purpose and perspective to everything. If we do not know why God blesses us in the Kingdom and why He so desires to give us the power to get wealth and the power to prosper there will continue to be casualties among those that are blessed.

For as long as there are only few blessed people in the body of Christ, we will overburden them and they will remain instruments of attack. Because when the Devil knows that 1 million people are dependent on 1 person, instead of seeking to destroy those 1,000,000 he will strike that 1 person and render a LOT of people helpless and homeless.

#1

The first reason why God blesses us in this Kingdom is, He DESIRES for us to live a COMFORTABLE life (whoa, AJS said that!?)

  • Anything that rejects this statement is demonic
  • Poverty eats away at the meaning of your life, and God wants us living meaningful lives
  • Every call you refuse to pick up because it might be your creditor trying to reach you
  • You can’t live productively within this kind of environment of degraded peace


Economically speaking there are 4 realms of living:

  • SURVIVAL; a DANGEROUS realm to be in— a realm of poverty, lack, insufficiency, always worrying about money, stealing, manipulating, etc
  • COMFORT; where your needs are met without restrictions
  • LUXURY; AJS didn’t detail this one…
  • EXTRAVAGANCE; I WISH he had detailed this one! Or at least given some contrasting ideas btwn them.

Strictly speaking, from a Kingdom standpoint, the lowest realm and the highest realm are not for believers; we are not called to a life of survival and we’re not called to a life of extravagance.

Those two realms are dangerous! If you find yourself in the realm of survival, FIGHT IT like you fight Satan!

When you find yourself in the realm of extravagance, you are losing the consciousness of your stewardship.

The allowance for the believer is the realm of comfort and, at best, luxury. When the Bible says godliness with contentment is great gain, contentment resides within those realms.


#2

The second reason God blesses us in the Kingdom is so we can help provide financial resources for Kingdom

advance— NEVER forget this!

  • The Ark was carried on the shoulders of priests— it will always take men to provide financial resources for Kingdom advance; but not by manipulation or coercion, by revelation, motivated by their love for Jesus
  • Kingdom activities” refer to any activity that ultimately leads to the revelation of Christ and the glorification of the same. Sermon, crusade, school— if Kingdom Come is not captured in that agenda, it is not of God and not worth your investment

#3

The third reason God blesses us in this Kingdom is, so that we can reveal the love and compassion of Jesus to a dying world in a practical and indefinite way

  • By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples: that ye have love (charity)
  • Every blessed person has a responsibility —by God and under God— to share a portion of his resources which should go toward blessing people w/out ANY bias for religion or any other kind of prejudice; you extend the love of Jesus to people and allow the love ITSELF to be the preacher

— -

Break it Down

(to recap…)

#1 has to do with you; For you, His big idea is your personal comfort and everyone around you

#2 has to do with the church; For the church, His big idea is Kingdom Come

#3 has to do with the world; For the world, His big idea is the revelation of Jesus as Love

Money in and of itself doesn’t satisfy, but when it’s put to the above uses, THEN will it contribute optimally to you living a satisfying life.

Additionally, from a standpoint of assignment, money in a man’s life really only does 2 things…

  1. Time Redemption; the 1st assignment of money in your life is to help you redeem time. Why is that so vital? Because that is really all you have, every other thing you have is a subject of time; you can lose money and get it back, a business can flatten and be rebuilt, but when you’ve lost time—!! Time is precious, a dying man won’t ask for more money or accolades (Isai 38) —everything that came through time is also lost. This is the theology of money
  2. Efficiency; whatever deteriorates this body beyond a certain point will force our spirit out of it, we have a responsibility to keep our bodies alive and strong so we can serve the purposes of God, hence the need for efficiency


If you don’t understand the purposes of money Satan will give you another reason. When the Bible says to redeem time, part of that advice is “Be wealthy” (Yup).

5 Levels to Prosperity

Prosper simply means to do well and has nothing to do w/ money, it speaks of advancement, progress

(we just connect it to money these days); and in THIS Kingdom, when you say you have prospered, it HAS to be 5/5:

  1. Spiritual prosperity; the highest level of prosperity given to the believer— being born-again, filled w/ the Holyghost, learning the ways of God, and loving Jesus w/ all your heart
  2. Mental prosperity; Have you blessed a mad man if you give him $1B in his mad state? What is wrong, the $$$ or him? Mental prosperity means to be developed, to outsource superior belief systems— about God, about life, your ideologies, philosophies, belief systems, lines up w/ scripture. And now you can deploy the creativity of your mind for your own betterment: As he thinketh in his heart/mind, so is he(Prov 23:7). You can’t rise beyond the frame of your mindset. It’s the authorized channel for God & even Satan to access your life. When your belief system is faulty almost nothing can bless you. Everything around you is a report card, and reflects the state and health of your mindset— financial resources and relationships included. Your mindset can turn a 40-day journey into a 40-yr one by even limiting God (Psa 78:41), how much more yourself? If God says “YES!” and your mindset says “No”, His yes will remain in the realm of the spirit, never manifesting
  3. Bodily prosperity (wellbeing); “The Bible says ‘The leaves are for the healing of the nation’, I leave that for you to unravel.” (Lol!) He’s strongly suggesting ppl make more of a concerted effort to prosper themselves in this area, particularly via their diets
  4. Financial prosperity; to sustain the ability to totally conquer poverty, lack, and the negative effects that accompany them. It is important for you to have sufficient financial resources WHEN NEEDED; there’s a timing to prosperity— if money comes too late to solve its problem it will destroy you
  5. Relational prosperity; that God blesses you w/ strategic destiny relationships that give you an opportunity to express love, care, connect w/ ppl, and live a meaningful & productive life; because by and large when all is said & done, it will be relationships that’ll be the ‘last man standing’. 1st your relationship w/ Jesus, your relationship w/ family, and your relationship w/ useful ppl around you. Do NOT neglect relationship in a bid to pursue money; money is only valuable because there are men on the other side to receive it. Just like everything is a subject of time, currency is a subject of man: lose every other man (aside from yourself), then everything that came thru, or had any relevance thru man, is also lost. At the end of your life it is not papers/ccards that will bury you. Relationships are POWERFUL— anything money can buy, relationship can buy it too


3 Foundational truths about wealth & the blessings of God:

  1. All blessings come from God, and BELONG to God; no matter how intangible it is. Never forget this as far as your journey to attaining Kingdom wealth is concerned— there’s a difference between wealth and Kingdom wealth and the difference is the presence of the Kingdom: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17 KJV). In this Kingdom owners are rebels, “MY MONEY!” is the language of someone who is about to crash— we are stewards of HIS wealth.
  2. All blessings come from God, from men to men; You need 2 entities for the arrival of anything: 1) God, 2) man/men who’ll facilitate the transfer of the blessing from Him to you— if God says “Yes” and the key individual —a man— says “No”, your blessing will remain w/ God or in the possession of the man. It is the Spirit AND the bride that says “Come”; if the Spirit says “Come” and there’s no bride to echo “Come”, nothing will come for you. So when you pray you don’t only pray for God alone, you pray for men. “When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.” (Prov 16:7) In this Kingdom, who hates you does not matter, but who likes you matters! And point #2 is true of cursing as well: all troubles come from Satan through men to men. No matter which of the masterminds are at work, men will be in btwn. “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.” (Psa 115:16 KJV)Give (money, wickedness, kindness, mercy w/e), and it shall be given unto you; GOOD MEASURE, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall MEN (men, Men, MEN!) give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luke 6:38 KJV)
  3. Wealth & abundance, in this Kingdom, is not an achievement; it is a trust from God: “And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 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.” (Deut 8:17); “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” (Eccl 9:11); “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.” (Psa 127:1-2). The moment you see the subject of wealth in the Kingdom as “My personal achievement”, you’ve lost the support of God. God is the one who lifts men, and you have been entrusted w/ w/e He gives you. “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found FAITHFUL.” (1 Cor 4:1-2)

Failure is predictable.

Wealth in the Kingdom is also predictable.


Businessmen and spiritual leaders have had a conflict for a very long time, as to what the REAL ingredients —captured in the life of an individual— for prosperity are.

On one hand we have spiritual leaders (men & women of God), and largely what they teach are the spiritual principles— tithing, giving, etc. And most times they’ve taught these principles as the ONLY principles needed for the prosperity of the saints. This doesn’t mean the communicators are wrong, they’re just incomplete in heir knowledge. And sadly they (as men of God) struggle w/ a lot of pride and want to project that they know everything and even in the midst of obvious ignorance we will still insist that we know what we’re saying.

So you have a men of God saying:

There’re only spiritual principles and nothing else! So bring your tithe, offering, etc! The MOMENT you do that, you MUST be blessed!

^That is a very well-meaning statement but, standing by the authority of scripture, AJS insists that it is not so.

Now for the other side, where we have businessmen, graduates from Yale, Oxford, Harvard, Stanford, business school, and veterans who stand and listen to MoG and say:

Don’t trust those ppl, they’re scammers teaching you nonsense. Let ME teach you the solution. Forget about God, you don’t need to prosper. After all there’re many ppl who did not prosper. Just focus on other things like productivity, value, and that’s it.

And you do all of that and just before your money comes, the Devil will KILL you!

…So you got all this knowledge and you ignored the spiritual leaders because they were “talking nonsense” and just when you go to check your bank account, you attempt to get up… but your leg suddenly doesn’t have any feeling— you’re paralyzed from the waist down.

Or you suddenly can’t think coherently— your sanity or presence of mind has left you. They ask you your name and you cannot answer; you don’t even recognize your wife as your wife. Yet they diagnose you as absolutely healthy based on what the machine is saying.


So who is wrong…? Who might be wrong in this case…? The answer is both; both are wrong in that they have failed to embrace one another as systems of completion. The spiritual laws of wealth & abundance are potent but are not the only laws; those and the physical (does he mean natural?) laws of wealth & abundance are taught as a dichotomy when actually altogether they are the ‘Kingdom Laws’ for wealth & abundance— they are 2 sides of the same coin. So there’re 2 dimensions to the ‘Laws of the Kingdom’.

There are the spiritual laws that govern wealth & abundance —Nonnegotiable! And in order of priority they come 1st— but then there are also physical laws of wealth & abundance (which will be covered in pt2).


Psalm 112:1-3 KJV

Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord , that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

1 Timothy 6:10 KJV

For the love (eros; an ungodly affinity for, an inordinate/unscriptural desire) of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.


WIDELY misinterpreted and used by the Devil to punish anyone with a heart for economic Kingdom advancement.

The love of money is the strengthener of every evil desire. If an evil desire is weak, it can be strengthened when it collides with money. Money helps to reveal the heart condition of a man. If a heart is wicked the love of money can strengthen wickedness. Money —being the ROOT— is where it’ll gets its nutrients and strength from.


The spiritual laws of wealth & abundance

  1. The law of Absolute Surrender; “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.” (Job 22:21-26); “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. ([personal relevance] For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.” Prov 23:26-27); ‘I don’t need your tithes or offering yet, first and foremost, what I need is your heart.’— Until God vets you you’re not ready to do business w/ Him. “And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.” (2 Cor 8:5); If ever you tell God sth He gave you belongs to Him, get ready— He MUST test you! ‘What did you say belongs to Me!? I’m coming! Give now thy son, and don’t tell me he’s your only one— I know! Now put him on the altar.’; This isn’t speaking of money because you can drop $1B on the altar and still not be surrendered so this is talking about (what you’ve made into) your TREASURE. Let us respect the place of surrender, MORESO THAN TITHING(!!), because you can bring tithes like a bribe from a carnal standpoint that just seeks to use God as a ladder and climb; at which point you’ve wasted your money— that bit was donation. The tray that your tithe/offering is placed upon is the purity of your heart. When your heart belongs to Him He can now trust you w/ ANYTHING w/out pause or hesitation
  2. The law of the tithe

!!—Technical difficulties occurred and disrupted the video and muted the audio as he began expounding on the ‘20 and 4 elders’, saying whatever made them an elder is related to them having cheated time through their wisdom—!!

Where audio & video reunited: 2:13:27

(disruption occurred @ 2:12:10)

Note: As an aside to his point about absolute surrender, AJS said to go look for his sermon named “Even as Thy Soul Prospereth

Audio/Video resumes by cutting back to AJS saying:

—“I have still not found a reason to stop tithing.”

The reason ppl argue about tithe is because, #1, they think it’s about money.


Leviticus 27:30 KJV

And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord .


This has nothing to do w/ a dispensation, this is an ordinance. The 2 reasons why AJS believes tithing has become a controversy in the body of Christ…

  1. Because of the way we men of God DRUM it! We drum it because we need the money and because there has been a lot of extravagance and misuse concerning God’s money, at the expense of ppl’s sacrifices. And since God’s ppl are not dummies, when the level of value you’re offering doesn’t match the affluence your life is projecting someone will be sensitive enough to ask questions. Tithe was supposed to be a means for catering to priesthood and to facilitate the building of the LORD’s house. Within the boundaries of contentment, vision and integrity, 10% of what God’s ppl bring should be sufficient to run the activities of the ministry. Tithe is not about money it’s about your open heavens. “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring 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.” (Malachi 3:8-10); See note below
  2. …..

The spiritual laws of wealth & abundance

  1. The law of Absolute Surrender; (scroll up)
  2. The law of the tithe; (technical difficulties)
  3. The law of giving (the law of seedtime & harvest); A foundational spiritual law (he won’t be going over it today) which he emphasizes is very important. Refer to Luke 6:38 (he cited it for an earlier point); “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” (Gen 8:22); This is an ordinance that will last while the earth remains, in other words, when you no longer see the earth is when you can stop obeying the law. Provided you can see the earth, however, the law is in effect. The economic system of the Kingdom runs on the principles of seedtime & harvest and suggests that anything you don’t have is because you didn’t plant the seed for it. If you want a harvest of kindness sow the seed of kindness. There are seeds and their corresponding harvests: Honor is the seed for a harvest called Access; Good Understanding is the seed for a harvest called Favor; Diligence is the seed for the harvest called Lifting— it is about understanding seeds & their harvests. A Question is the seed for an Answer while Knowledge and Wisdom are the keys (did he mean seeds?) for Enlightenment. Giving & Receiving = Sowing & Reaping. “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” (2 Cor 9:6-8); Herein is the cure for control & manipulation in the church. Also, notice the abrupt transition from sowing/reaping to giving/receiving. There’re different kinds of giving w/ differing levels of harvests allocated to them; if you do not engage the law of giving there is a limit to how high you can be lifted. 1) The worship offering: when you come before God you shouldn’t come empty, as proof of your love for Him. 2) Kingdom investments: One of the MAJOR giving platforms which fulfills the spiritual law of wealth & abundance (refer to Haggai 1:3-5). 3) Seed-faith: Based on the principle of resurrection you can kill and outcome, a result, a season in your life that you don’t like, by tying it to a seed in faith, and God is able to give your seed another body. 4) Prophet offering: Controversial but nonetheless valid as a means of rising in the spirit. On principle, never go to meet a man of God empty-handed. 5) Sowing to parents (spiritual & physical): which attracts patriarchal blessings. 6) First fruits: Undiscussed. 7) Sacrifice: Undiscussed. 8) Vows: Undiscussed. But the 3 that AJS knows are directly correlative to the lifting of men are a) Kingdom Investments— being an active participant in the work of the Kingdom, b) Prophet’s offering— if done w/ revelation and understanding you can sow into an anointing that will lift you in a way that will surprise you, and c) Seed-faith

Note: What qualifies as a storehouse?

  1. Your place of primary spiritual nourishment
  2. Any ministry that is ACTIVELY committed to the salvation of souls and the equipping of the saints
  3. An individual —a minister— who is committed to the salvation of souls and the equipping of the saints

The 7 prophetic blessings that follow the tither:

  1. God will open for you the windows of heaven
  2. He will pour out a blessing that you will not have room enough for— fathers like Kenneth Copeland would call it concepts, insights, and ideas
  3. God will rebuke the devourer— waste brought to your life on legal basis
  4. Satan shall not destroy the fruit of your ground; your ground is anywhere you plant— your business, your life, etc
  5. Your vine shall not cast its fruit before its time
  6. You shall be called a delightsome land
  7. All nations shall call you blessed

Jesus, when He rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy, did not negate the necessity for tithing; He said ‘you tithe and do all these things yet you neglect the WEIGHTIER matter’, so He acknowledged tithing as part of the mandatory practices for the believer

The Return Channels

There’re return channels that when you practice the laws of wealth & abundance will trigger specific occurrences— 3 principal ways God will answer to you…

  1. FAVOR w/ God & men; FAVOR is POWERFUL! You can sleep in the prison one night and wake up as a prime minister, because favor was on you. The proof of favor is not just money, it’s access to the hearts of kings and the hearts of men. Favor is programmable. It can be summed up as men willing to participate in your success (stay tuned for AJS’s teaching “The Gift of Men”). Don’t downplay the place of favor. There’re only 2 ways $$$ comes to your hand— value or favor. It is the favor of God that gives men land; “For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.” (Psa 44:3); When favor is upon you the only person who cannot bless you is a blind person because anyone who can see you will be compelled by a charm-like force of attraction to attend to you/participate in your success. “…And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.” (Esther 2:15 b); “And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.(Esther 2:17); “And I will give Khamali favour in the sight of the inhabitants of earth: and it shall come to pass, that, when he goes, he shall not go empty.” (Exodus 3:21); Emptiness has an explanation, it means the favor of God is not at work in your life.
  2. WISDOM; Having 5 dimensions, 2 of them are most important concerning wealth: a) Divine direction, b) Divine strategies. (refer to Job 2:8; Job 29:1-4). Wisdom is the principal thing therefore get Wisdom, there is a relationship btwn Wisdom and wealth
  3. The BLESSING; Businesspeople have called this all kinds of things, such as the “law of attraction”, but we in the Kingdom call it “The Blessing”. A powerful spiritual quality that functions like a magnet which has the assignment of attracting to your life ppl, opportunities, & resources. It is a dimension of the operation of the Holyghost that rests upon a believer— activated by engaging these principles. Everybody is a giver, it just depends on what is on you

Without these forces at work in your life it will be as if God didn’t send you. For any assistance apart from them, be ready to serve Satan/worship an idol.

Both sides of the coin

The spiritual laws of wealth & abundance are responsible for the arrival of financial resources in your life, and then the physical laws of wealth & abundance are responsible for the management and multiplication of those financial resources.

If all you know are the spiritual laws you will keep having momentary breakthroughs— one testimony today and then another one next year. Everything God gives man, He simulates that operation and plants within it the principle for continuity. It’s called the ability to RE-PLENISH. You CANNOT be wealthy if you are only fruitful; you must sustain the ability to re-plenish… —to multiply (2nd part of the initial commandment).

Kiwi: ATTENTION—!!

At 9:47pm, around about the time I was done recording the details concerning the return channels, my dad called to tell me he had some money to give me; and it wasn’t for adding value to his life! Favor, the 1st return channel, had just highlighted itself in my life. Hallelujah! God confirmed His Word~

Amen 🙏
