Title: God's Financial System 4 - @sam_adeyemi
Text: Ephesians 4 vs 28
Overview
✔If you hurt people to make money, it will come back to hurt you
✔ When you become a Christian, your greatest motivation on this planet is love. And you don't hurt the people you love.
Romans 5:5
✔The major proof that you have Jesus Christ in your heart is that you stop hurting people.
✔ When you hurt people to make money, you are a money worshipper
2. The importance of Work
✔ Work is adding value, solving problems and meeting needs @sam_adeyemi
3. You make more as an investor
✔ Be wary of get-rich-quick schemes
✔ You need extraordinary self-discipline not to be obsessed with gambling. So it is better to stay away from it
4. Giving
- Earn money to increase your giving capacity @sam_adeyemi
Why giving is important:
✔Giving is the greatest commandment because loving is the greatest commandment. John 3:16
✔Giving is loving, the proof of love is giving, if you love, you will give
✔Whatever God does not deserve, do not give it to human beings @sam_adeyemi
✔You can give without loving; Example; giving for competition, for fame, or other reasons. That is not the kind of giving been referred to. The motive of your give matters 1 Corinthians 13:3
✔Giving gives you happiness because you make others happy. Psalms 41:1-3 @sam_adeyemi
✔Money does not buy happiness? Forget it. If you use it to change people lives, you will be happy
✔Giving gives your life a sense of meaning. Giving is your destiny. Ephesians 2:10
✔Your life is too small to be the purpose of your life. Act 10:38, Act 20:35 @sam_adeyemi
✔Giving causes you to get more so that you can give more. Philippians 4:15
✔Giving leverages the principle of exchange of value. You give value, you receive value
✔Whenever the Holy Spirit speaks to you, act promptly. Be ready. Romans 8:14 @sam_adeyemi
✔Plan your giving. Give to your family, to the poor, to churches and ministries, pay your taxes to the government
✔You hear God, Obey Him and you will be fine.
Prayer - As you commit to doing the word of God, the power of the Spirit of God rests on you, the curse of lack, the curse of poverty is destroyed in the name of Jesus.
Title: Start where you are - @sam_adeyemi
Text: Gen 1:1
Use your God-given power to initiate. God started with a less-than-ideal situation. The condition was not perfect but He started all the same. Don't wait for a perfect condition, take action so the condition can be perfect
This is a call for you to initiate your dominion power. Things don't move until force is applied; apply force. Execution is the name of the game, it is the big deal. James 1:22.
All your prayers and fasting goes to waste if you don't take action. @sam_adeyemi
Reasons people don't take action 1. Laziness: To overcome laziness, ask the Holy Spirit to help and motivate you. He helps us with the drive and will to-do. Read a chapter of proverbs daily. @sam_adeyemi
Sermon
Title: After the Sabbath - @sam_adeyemi
Text: Exodus 20: 11 (NLT)
What do we do after the Sabbath since the Sabbath speaks of rest?
The purpose of sabbath was intimacy with God. In intimacy with Him, we download revelation, inspiration and direction.
God expanded the scope of rest in Leviticus 25:1-5.
The reset button was pushed in 2020, now we have New Beginnings.
What next after sabbath, what next? 1. God supplies fresh purposes, new visions and higher dimensions. Walk in step with the spirit of God, that’s the secret.
2. Drop old mindsets. No point longing for the past or what’s gone.
Now is the time to call yourself what God calls you, get rid of fixed mindsets.
What you call yourself is what you are. Who you believe is who you become
- @sam_adeyemi
How are you responding to your challenges? Ordinary people react, great people respond.
Satan leverages our circumstances to distract us when God wants us to focus on our life's purpose.
God did not call us to react to our circumstances. Leverage your imagination, God wants you to yield your imagination to Him.
In your imagination, you can collapse space within a fraction of a second. The creative power of God is in His revelation.
However dark and chaotic it might be in your life, God has a vision for you that will illuminate your situation. You will not have miscarriage of vision anymore in Jesus name.
Sermon: Reinvention 4 - @sam_adeyemi
Text: Luke 5:36-39
There are opportunities you cannot access in your current state, you will have to change to access them.
The inability to evolve is what leaves many people with unrealized potentials.
Sermon: Reinvention 4 - @sam_adeyemi
Text: Luke 5:36-39
You need to sacrifice who you are to harvest who you want to become.
Reinvention is an act of faith that inspires you to let go of what you have now, who you are now in order to lay hold of what is to come
Sermon: Reinvention 4 - @sam_adeyemi
Text: Luke 5:36-39
The greatest enemy of reinvention is the fear of taking risks, the second greatest enemy is success. The more successful you are, the more difficult it is to reinvent.
Let go of the old mindsets to move to a new dimension.
