PROSPERITY SCHOOL: Become A Candidate For Increase by PastorDavidAwuj(m): 10:35pm On Jan 12, 2019

Breaking the Power of Debt

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
— JOHN 8:36
 
A strong sense of hopelessness.... That is the way many Christians describe their inner feelings about their finances. They feel as if they are aimlessly adrift in an endless stream of borrowing.

Unpaid bills occupy more and more of their thoughts. They honestly believe there is no way out of their debt dilemma.

Please note that I am not speaking of dishonest people, but hardworking, honest folks who are doing all they know to do. However, try as they may, they keep sliding further and further into debt.

The Joy Is Gone

In most homes, both husband and wife are forced to work. Yet, even with two wage earners, money always seems to be in scarce supply.

For most families, the joy is gone from payday. All that remains is the Friday night ritual of rushing the paycheck to the bank so the checks they wrote Thursday will not bounce.

After the paycheck is deposited, they draw out a few naira from the automatic teller machine for their once-a-week, Friday night splurge.

This consists of a modest meal at a fast food restaurant and a short walk through the mall. Long gone are the days of shopping, for they must now pay for their past credit sprees.

For a pitiful few hours, the wage earner feels good, enjoying a small portion of the fruit of his labor. All too soon Saturday morning arrives, and with it comes the full reality of the fruit of debt.

The wage earner must now face his mountain of bills—bills that were only partially paid last payday.

God Is Left Holding the Bag

Check after check is written until, finally, the last pressing obligation is paid. With this task accomplished, the stark reality comes to light. There is only enough left to barely scrape by until next payday.

In the crushing pressure of having only enough to make ends meet, the tithe, which is so vital to receiving God’s blessings in life, is usually ignored.

At best, only a portion of it is paid. This is usually justified with a promise that soon things will be better, and then God will get what is His.

For the next six days, the average wage earner has to put off having any fun or doing anything special.

To the Christian, the most painful part of this existence is having to say no to God concerning giving into His kingdom.

This is an empty cycle that is routinely repeated from Friday to Friday by those who have come under the control of the spirit of debt.

Wake Up to a Better Way!

Wake up! That’s no way for the children of God to live! Surely this is not God’s best for your life! He must have a better plan.

Deep down in your spirit, you know He wants something more for your life than barely existing from payday to payday!

Hear the good news! The same God Who wants you to walk in His saving grace, to experience His miracle healing power, and for your family to be entirely whole, also wants you to operate in total financial abundance.

His principles of biblical economics are clearly stated in His Word! If you follow them, they will free you of your payday-to-payday blues.

From them you will learn how to boldly get started on your road to a debt-free lifestyle.

A Progressive Walk

God is as concerned about your financial success as He is about every other part of your life.

When you first started to walk with Him, you had to learn to recognize the lies of the devil. They were holding you captive.

The world taught you that drinking and parties were the fun way to live. But as you progressed in your Christian walk, you realized that kind of thinking is flawed.

You began to understand that drinking almost always leads to alcoholism, and wild parties open the door to sexual sins. You found that if you were to experience God’s best, you would have to say no to sin and yes to God’s way of doing things.

The further you walked in God’s ways, the less complicated your world became. Inner peace began to grow.

Much to your own surprise, you started having more fun instead of less fun. Since the troubles and torments that accompany the world’s wicked ways have begun to melt away, your life has become much more worthwhile.

Well, child of God, I’ve got good news for you. This same freedom you are experiencing in this area of your life is also available to you in your finances!

Please do not misunderstand. I’m not talking about something that will force you into the lifestyle of a miser.

I’m talking about something that will enable you to experience a miracle in your finances—a miracle that will transform your finances from barely making it to abundance, from not enough to more than enough, from little to much.

Does such a miracle exist? Can we actually go forward in some financial healing line, have someone lay hands on us, and walk away with all of our bills marked paid in full?

Before I answer that question, let us get one thing straight. No man has the ability to miraculously release people from their debts. Miracles are not from men. Miracles are given by God and received, through faith, by men.

I have laid hands on many people and seen them healed; however, I have never healed anyone. Each time someone has been miraculously healed, that person had to receive the miracle from God.

The same biblical principle applies to the miraculous release from debt. Each time the miracle of debt cancellation takes place, it comes directly from God to those who receive it through faith.

A Widow Received This Miracle

Make no mistake about it. The miracle of canceled debt is taught in God’s Word. One very powerful illustration involves a widow woman and her two sons.

This widow was left with a great debt at her husband’s death. She was hopelessly bound until the miracle of debt cancellation set her free.

Her debt was so large that her two sons were sentenced to become bond servants to the creditor. It took everything she had. She was left with nothing more than a small pot of oil.

She was brought to the very door of destitution. In her advanced years, she was cruelly sentenced to the life of a beggar.

Thank God for her faith. Her decision not to seek help from the creditor proved to be the wisest move of her life. In the midst of her desperate problem, she turned to her man of God.

All the creditor could offer her was more debt, but God presented her with the opportunity to receive the miracle of canceled debt. All she had to do was exercise the faith to do exactly what her man of God told her to do.

The following verses tell us about her powerful miracle of debt cancellation:

Now there cried a certain woman...unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead...and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. And Elisha said unto her...what hast thou in the house? And she said...a pot of oil. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels.... And when thou art come in, thou shalt...pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.... And it came to pass, when the vessels were full...the oil stayed. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt... (2 Kings 4:1-7).

There it is, right from the pages of your own Bible! A miraculous cancellation of debt!

The scriptural account of this particular event opened with an impossible mountain of debt. It demanded payment.

Even if it meant the ruination of the woman and her two sons, it had to be paid. Then, in just a few hours, this woman was completely debt free!

With this miracle from God’s Word, we see proof positive that He has a miraculous solution for the debt problems of people just like you and me. What we need to do is dig into the Bible and find it, then mix it with faith and put it to work in our lives.

Happy New Year!

Build Your Financial Foundation

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
— 3 JOHN 2
 
Never try to build a house without first laying a foundation.

I don’t care how eager you are to get it finished, how excited you are about filling it with furniture and decorating it all just right— take the time to put down a solid foundation first. If you don’t, that house will be so unstable it will soon come tumbling down.

That’s simple advice, isn’t it? Anyone with any sense at all knows it. Yet, in the spiritual realm, people make that mistake all the time.

They see a blessing God has promised them in His Word, and they are so eager to have it, they ignore the foundational basics of godly living and pursue just that one thing.

That’s especially true in the area of prosperity. Often, people are so desperate for a quick financial fix, they just pull a few prosperity promises out of the Bible and try to believe them—without allowing God to change anything else in their lives.

Of course, it doesn’t work, and those people end up disappointed. Sometimes they even come to the conclusion that it wasn’t God’s will for them to prosper after all.

But I can tell you today, from the Word of God and from personal experience: It is definitely God’s will for all of His children to prosper!

That’s why He inspired the Apostle John to write, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 2).

Notice there, however, that John didn’t just say, “I want you to prosper.” He said, “I want you to prosper as your soul prospers.” He tied financial prosperity to the prosperity of your mind, will and emotions.

God’s plan is for us to grow financially as we grow spiritually. He knows it is dangerous to put great wealth into the hands of someone who is too spiritually immature to handle it.

You can see dramatic evidence of that fact in the lives of people who have acquired financial riches through this world’s system, apart from God.

In most cases, such riches just help people to die younger and in more misery than they would have if they’d been poorer.

That’s because they use their wealth to sin in greater measure. They use it to buy all the cocaine they want and drink all the alcohol they want. They use it to pay for an immoral lifestyle that eventually destroys them.

The wages of sin is death. That is an inescapable fact. So, when people get money and use it to sin, it does them more harm than good. As Proverbs 1:32 says, “The prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Happy New Year!

I ask God to forgive me if I am wrong. But these teach false doctrine which make them false teachers. God wants us to depend on him for our daily bread.And God prefers sacrificial giving not the one you give when you have surplus.

Prosperity is nobody’s teaching but God’s. Look it up in the Bible. 3 John vs 2. This was part of what Jesus came to do for mankind. To bring us back under the blessing of Abraham. Gal 3:13-14/29.

Give more attention to God’s message on prosperity and your faith will be built up (Rom 10:17),making you come under the transgenerational blessing of Abraham.

Please sir
What's your interpretation of 1timothy6:5-8 sir. With emphasis on vs 8

Note: am really doing this to learn not for argument sake.

All of these questions will be treated in my subsequent teachings here. But let me give you this answer. Matt 6:33. Jesus says, “ seek first God’s kingdom and his righteousness and all the good things of life shall be added to you.”

Now, if you seek riches first all the woes of life shall be added to you. That’s why you have a lot of people buying their own destruction through their own riches (drugs, immorality, etc). Now that we have this as a foundation let us go back to the scriptures you quoted.

Godliness with contentment is great gain. This means seeking first God’s kingdom (his ways of doing things and being right) will lead you to great gain in life (“all these things shall be added unto you, just like we have in Matt 6:33”)

Now, that part that talks contentment, vs 8, is still focusing your attention on God. Meaning don’t chase after money at the expense of chasing after God. If you do you will enter into a lot of temptations and snares, which will eventually lead to destruction.

Money is not the root of all evil. It says the love of it. That will mean you love money instead of loving God and his kingdom. That will lead to destruction like I stated above.

Now, let me show you what happens to a man that goes after God’s kingdom first. You already know that all things shall be added to him. Matt 6:33.

Ps 112:1-4

1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Money does not make you unrighteous, it is the love of it (putting it before God), that leads to the destruction of men!

God is a prosperous God ( the fullness of the universe belongs to Him), he is the author of prosperity, and when a man goes after Him first, He bestows prosperity and righteousness, forevermore. Ps 112:1-3 above.

I believe you are born again? Yes. Your born again spirit knows things your mind doesn’t know. Let me ask you (your spirit) a question. Do you want to experience poverty? Do you want anybody in your family to experience poverty?

When you(your spirit) answer that question, you will know if God’s will is poverty or prosperity. All the best.

Seek First Things First

It’s easy to see why God wants us to increase financially at the same rate we increase spiritually.

He wants us to outgrow our fleshly foolishness so our prosperity will bring us blessing and not harm. “But Brother,” you say, “I need financial help fast!”

Then get busy growing. Get busy building your foundation for prosperity.
How? By finding out what God says in His Word and doing it.

You see, the foundation of prosperity is a continual lifestyle built on the Word of God. It is doing whatever God tells you to do, thinking whatever He tells you to think, and saying whatever He tells you to say.

Godly prosperity is the result of putting God’s Word—all of it, not just the parts about financial prosperity—first place in your life.

It comes when you apply His principles on a continual basis—not just because you want money, but because Jesus is your Lord and you want to follow Him. It comes when you start obeying the instructions Jesus gave us in Matthew 6:25-33:

I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life? And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his magnificence (excellence, dignity and grace) was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides (The Amplified Bible).


I’ve found out it isn’t God’s will for us to worry. It is His will for me to believe Him to care for us. I’ve also learned that, as believers, we’re not to seek after material riches.

We’re not to pursue money like people do who are without God. They have to pursue it. They don’t have a covenant with God, so if they don’t seek material goods, they won’t get them!

But we’re not like those people. We’re not in the world without God and without a covenant (Ephesians 2:12-13).

We have God’s promise of provision. He has assured us in His Word that He will not only meet our needs, but give us abundance.

It’s important for us to remember, however, that a covenant is always between two parties. It has two sides. A covenant says, “If you do this, then I’ll do that.”

God’s part of the covenant is to prosper us—spirit, soul and body, as well as financially. What is our part of the covenant? It’s not to seek after that prosperity. If we do that, we’ll get sidetracked.

Our part of the covenant is to seek first His kingdom, His way of doing and being right!

Our part is to say, “Lord, I’ll do whatever You tell me to do. I’ll obey Your Word and do what is right in Your sight—even if it looks like it will cost me.”

Of course, obeying God’s Word never costs in the long run. It pays! You always put yourself in a position for increase when you seek after God and do things His way.

There will be times when you can’t see how that increase is going to come. I know about these times. I’ve been through them.

When I saw in the Word of God that I was to “Keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to love one another” (Romans 13:8, The Amplified Bible), I wasn’t too excited about it.

At that time in my life, it looked to me like I’d never be able to do anything financially without borrowing money.

I thought, How will I ever get a car? How will I get a home? How will I finance my ministry? I’m doomed!

But I had already decided to obey God no matter what the cost, so I committed to Him to get out of debt even though I thought it would be to my disadvantage.

Of course, that decision has since turned out to be one of the wisest financial decisions I’ve ever made.

That’s the way it always is. Obeying God always works to your advantage in the end!

Happy New Year!

PROSPERITY SCHOOL

Become a Candidate for Increase

You can’t separate God’s financial principles from the rest of His principles. They all work together.

So you have to take the whole Bible to have a good foundation for godly prosperity.

The primary commandment Jesus gave us, for example, is to “love one another” (John 15:12). To the casual observer, that commandment may seem to have nothing to do with money, yet to have true prosperity, love must be the guiding force of your life.

You must be quick to apply scriptural principles for living like these found in
1 Peter 3:8-11:

Finally, all [of you] should be of one and the same mind (united in spirit), sympathizing [with one another], loving [each other] as brethren [of one household], com-passionate and courteous (tender-hearted and humble). Never return evil for evil or insult for insult (scolding, tongue-lashing, berating), but on the contrary blessing [praying for their welfare, happiness, and protection, and truly pitying and loving them].
For know that to this you have been called, that you may yourselves inherit a blessing.... For let him who wants to enjoy life and see good days...keep his tongue free from evil, and his lips from guile (treachery, deceit). Let him turn away from wickedness and shun it, and let him do right (The Amplified Bible).

Think of it this way. Every right action you take, every godly decision you make, every time you go love’s way instead of the selfish way, you’re putting another block on your foundation of prosperity.

When you pray for your enemies instead of hating them, you become a candidate for increase. When you turn away from immorality, you’re turning toward blessing.

When you see things in your life that you know aren’t right and you correct them according to the Word of God, you’re preparing yourself to handle greater financial abundance.

The book of Proverbs is full of God’s wisdom about everyday things and decisions. It will help you learn how to handle your affairs in a way that is pleasing to God.

And since it has 31 chapters, by reading a chapter a day along with your other Bible reading, you can finish it in just a month. It will increase you to read Proverbs over and over.

In Proverbs you’ll find out, for example, that the quality of faithfulness and the blessing of prosperity are tied together very closely. Wherever you find one, you’ll find the other.

For as Proverbs 28:20 says, “A faithful man shall abound with blessings.” According to Webster’s dictionary, a faithful man is one who “adheres to duty, of true fidelity, loyal, true to allegiance, and constant in the performance of duties or services.”

Luke 16:10 says, “He who is faithful in a very little [thing] is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest and unjust in a very little [thing] is dishonest and unjust also in much” (The Amplified Bible).

So if you want to be trusted with more and be promoted to a better job, be faithful and honest in the job you have right now.

You may think Christian people don’t need to hear about honesty and faithfulness, but they do. I know personally of cases where Christians have stolen money from their employers.

They may not have intended to “steal” anything. They may have just thought, Well, I’ll borrow this money for a couple of weeks and then I’ll put it back and no harm will be done.

The problem is, you can’t borrow something from someone without their permission. That’s stealing and you can’t be blessed and steal.

Taking that money may have seemed all right to those people when they did it. They may have made excuses and justified it in their own minds.

But if they’d been studying and obeying the Word of God, they wouldn’t have fallen for those excuses. That’s because the Word discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). It teaches you what is right and what isn’t.

It reveals not man’s way, but God’s way of doing and being right. It enables you to lay a firm foundation for godly prosperity.

Build the Whole House

With that foundation laid, you’ll be ready to step out in faith and receive the abundance God has in store for you.

Many people who have lived godly lives have failed to do that, so they’ve missed out on God’s financial blessings.

Although they’ve continually applied the principles of God’s Word and become prime candidates for great prosperity, they’ve unwittingly passed it by because religious tradition has taught them that God wants them in poverty.

Christians like that have great wealth in their spiritual bank account, but because they don’t realize it’s there, they never tap in to it!

Don’t let that happen to you. Don’t just build the foundation for prosperity and stop there. Go on and build the whole house.

Dare to believe that if you’ll seek first God’s kingdom, His way of doing and being right, all other things (the food, the clothes, the cars, the houses—everything!) will be added to you as well.

Build your foundation, then dare to believe and you will surely prosper!

Happy New Year!

Why will you continue to watch the devil molest your life with depression? When you really have a choice- the choice to exercise ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY over him.

Why will you keep watching that sickness ravage your life when you can walk in total dominion over ALL manners of sickness and disease?

Why do you keep believing that lie from the devil (that is in your mind), telling you that you are poor and that you will die in poverty, when you can have all your heart desires through the riches that God, the creator of the universe has provided for you for EVERLASTING prosperity?

The ONLY reason you are in that pitiable state is your lack of knowledge of God’s word!! Wake up from your slumber, take responsibility and come and learn how to be free from ALL oppressions of life. You will have an answer to every life question and you will never see shame again.

Will you take this great opportunity to be free for life, or will you choose to die in that your state even though God has provided a better way for you- the way of prosperity; the way of sound health; the way of victory over satan and sin FOREVER.

That is why I am bringing this coaching to your door this February- “WINTER FAITH COACHING (WFC)”. Registration is still ongoing. For just a token of 10k, you will learn ALL it takes to be a world beater! Two people have already taken their seats for this coaching that will last 2 weeks.
