GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE POSSESSIONS

Exodus 3:21-22 "And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed. Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians." (NIV)

Possession here on earth are tools for doing the work of the Kingdom and also a testament of God's blessing upon His people. God wants you to have possession. Contrary to what some people erroneously believe possession or property is not a sin. It is how you acquire your property and what you do with them that makes it a sin or not. And you can't have too much properties or possessions if you know what it is for; they are tools for doing the work of the Kingdom. If you have a landed-property it is to propagate the work of God whether or not you use it for personal or church building.

Some people think because they want to go to heaven it's not necessary to build a house or buy a car or own other properties. The houses, cars and other things here are for use here on earth not in heaven. When you get to heaven you will find heavenly properties. Use earthly things for Kingdom work here on earth. You need a house, mobility and other properties, not only for tools for the work but also a testament of His blessings upon your life. 

When God was about to bring the Israelites out of Egypt He told them they would not leave empty-handed, they had to plunder the Egyptians for properties.
Exodus 3:21-22 "And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed. Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians."

When He brought them out of Egypt He gave them the promised land and everything in it as their possession. He wanted them to have properties here on earth. 
Deuteronomy 1:8 See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land the LORD swore he would give to your fathers —to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob —and to their descendants after them."

Don't follow the error of some people. Acquire properties as much as you can, and make sure you leave inheritance for your children. Look at Abraham, Isaac and Jacob our fathers of faith. They were not only rich and had properties but left so much as inheritance for their children. Do the same!

CONFESSION

Precious Lord I recognize that it is your will that I should have properties and use them as tools for the work of the Kingdom. I refuse to be small, I am big and therefore I do big things and own big things, as tools to propagate the work and also as a testament of God's unconditional blessings in my life. Amen Hallelujah!

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM Chapter 12 Episode 1

WISDOM KEEPS YOU FROM ADULTERY Nothing destroys a man or woman than sexual immorality, and more so adultery. But if you heed to wisdom it will keep you from this. As we have a wayward woman so we have a wayward man. One who leaves their partner to go after another. There is no justifiable reason for it. Don't be an adulterous woman or adulterous man.  As a woman avoid married men if you don't want to destroy your own soul. The easiest way for anyone to start his or her hell on earth is to be an adulterous person or have an affair with a married person. Why love another man's wife? Why love another woman's husband? Why? Avoid this, spare yourself doom. If you would heed wisdom it will save you from the adulterous woman or man. Proverbs 2:16-19 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. Surely her house leads down to death and her ...

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM chapter 1 episode 1

THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM Wisdom will begin to work in and through you and produce results when you fear the Lord. Yes wisdom begin with the fear of the Lord. If you find a person who is not wise in the ways of God you find a person who has no fear of the Lord. Psalms 14:1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. He says there is no God. He doesn't acknowledge God nor have regard for or fear of Him. Consequently he became corrupt, his deeds are vile, he does no good. Because he has no fear of the Lord. It takes the fear of the Lord to walk in the ways of the Lord. Psalms 14:2-3 The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. It takes the fear of the Lord to do good. It takes the fear of the Lord to understand and seek God. If you find people who do not...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd DECEMBER 2023 REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV) The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Philippi, said they should rejoice in the Lord always. He didn't say they should rejoice in themselves but in the Lord. That calls for spiritual insight.  It takes spiritual insight to see what we got in the Lord and rejoice. When you are ask to rejoice over something it means that it holds significance and value. No nobody would ask you to rejoice over something that's not to your advantage. We have everything to our advantage in Christ, and it is our responsibility to recognize them and rejoice.  Looking at your physical environment and, maybe the circumstances of your life you might have reasons to feel bad and dejected. But looking in the Lord and who you are in Him, you would find not only the glorious you but also answers to all your questions.  W...

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM Chapter 10 episode 1

WISDOM DO GOOD We already know that wisdom is known for its deeds. Wisdom is no wisdom if it is not practiced. True wisdom is practicable.  One of the marks of wisdom is good deeds. A wise man does good. It takes loyalty to wisdom (God's Word) to do good. God's Word teaches us to do good. But a foolish man withhold good.  DO NOT WITHHOLD GOOD Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Good is an element of righteousness. Wisdom too is an element of righteousness. One of the things that sets one apart as wise and righteousness is good deeds. If you find yourself in a position to render help don't withhold it. A wise person doesn't act unbecoming.  If you find a person who hoard to himself you find a foolish person. Greed stems from foolishness; they are relatives. It is lack of understanding that leads to greed. If you understand God's wisdom; God's perspective you would give, you would do good. Wisdom does g...

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM chapter 4 episode 1

TURN YOUR EARS TO WISDOM Everyone listens to a voice or voices. Voices comes to one's mind through three main sources. The flesh, satan and God.  The flesh would speak to you based on impulses, emotions and sight. Satan deceitfully speak to people through their flesh, desire and even perversely quoting the Bible. Then God speaks to us through His Word.  None of these voices forces you to listen to or obey it. The flesh cannot force you to listen and obey its voice, satan cannot, and God would not. Listening to any voice that comes to you is a choice. Many voices may come to your ears but you would choose which to turn your ears to you.  You would hear voice of fear, doubt, failing, uncertainty, faith, assurance, victory, riches but deliberately turn your ears to what you want to hear. Instead of turning your ears to gossip turn it to wisdom. Instead of turning your ears to feelings, fears and anxiety turn it to wisdom. Don't let negative voices dominate you. Don't dwell o...
