SONG
When I am down and, oh my Soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the Silence
Until You come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can Stand on Mountains
You raise me up, to walk on Stormy seas
I am Strong, when I am on your Shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
OPENING PRAYER
Father, we are Trusting You for a lifting at this Hour.
We are tired where we used to be; Please take us to another Level as we Exceed Expectations.
In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Father, we made welcome the Holy Spirit and we give Jesus Christ a really Big Hallelujah.
Brothers and Sisters and everyone watching us Online inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC at this time – I have been asked to Minister to us very quickly in: “BREAKING FINANCIAL LIMITATIONS”.
… You want to Exceed Expectations; you need to break every forms of Financial Limitations
The Bible told us in 3 John 1:2 – It said: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest Prosper and be in Health, even as thy Soul Prospereth.
I. “Thou Mayest Prosper” is talking about Financial Prosperity.
II. “Being in Health” which is Physical Prosperity.
III. “Even as our Soul Prospers” which is equally Spiritual Prosperity.
So, it is God’s Ultimate desire for each and everyone of us to Prosper Financially!
That is why He said: “I wish above all things” – Much more than you could think; God wants us to Exceed Financially.
I have come to discover that if you are want to break every forms of Financial Limitations; you need to have the Keys that Unlock Financial Bondage!
I. A Limitation is that thing that kept you down.
II. A Limitation is that thing that Prevent you from rising.
III. A Limitation is that thing that kept you on a spot.
IV. A Limitation is that thing that will not allow you to Exceed Expectations.
V. A Limitation is that thing that want you to stop where your fathers stopped.
Today, I Pray that everything that kept you down Financially; they shall be broken in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
Everyone of us, in one way or the other has been limited Financially – I have come to realised that all Classes of People: The Rich and the Poor; many have suffered Financial Bondage and Captivity.
Poverty is like a Cancer – It is something that will not allow you fulfill Divine Mandate!
And so, if you must break Financial Limitations; you need Financial Dominion and Financial Freedom!
Financial Freedom is breaking off the shakles of those things that kept you down.
An Adage says that: The Rich also cry.
It is not far fetched that though we have some People that are Rich but they are still under Financial Bondage or they are still battling with Financial Limitations.
I used to have an Uncle – He is no more today.
But several Years back in Ibadan in Oyo State Nigeria; I visited him and on getting to his house I noticed that for Months my Uncle in the early 80’s God blessed him and he was able to Purchase a Peugeot 505 – Evolution, it was called.
We covered it everyday – Maybe once a week, we remove the tarpaulin that was used to cover it and wash the car and then cover it back (DMC Note: A Tarpaulin is an heavy-duty waterproof cloth)
He was one of those God blessed in the family who was able to Purchase a “Fabric Sofa” and also refused to remove the nylon. All the foams in all the rooms were covered with nylon
And I told his wife – What is the Purpose of a car if it is not fulfilling its Purpose? Why should a car be covered?
So, I removed all the nylons on the chairs, on the foams and everything.
And my Uncle came back and was very furious – Do you know how much I bought it? Do you know that it will get spoilt on time?
I said: Uncle, the fact that you are rich means that you should know the Usefulness of Money – You must be in Charge of Money and Money should not control you.
1 Timothy 6: 17-19 – The Bible says:
- Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the Living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.
- That they do Good, that they be rich in Good works, ready to distribute, Willing to Communicate.
- Laying up in Store for themselves a Good Foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on Eternal Life.
… How many things? – All things!
Beloved Brethren; the Purpose of being Wealthy is that you should do Good – Willing to Communicate, ready to Distribute!
In other words: The Purpose of God Blessing you is to have the Mindset, the Understanding that Wealth in this Kingdom is about the Distribution and not about the Accumulation!
The Bible says: Laying Up the Stores for themselves a Good Foundation against the time to come that they may lay holds on Eternal Life.
I. God is Blessing you so that you can share with Others.
II. God is blessing you so that you can know the Purpose and the Usefulness of Money.
III. God is blessing you so that you can Communicate Wealth to Others.
Anything outside of this is not of God!
So, Wealth in this Kingdom is about its Communication and not about its Accumulation!
Why do we need to break off from Financial Limitations?
The reason is Simple – Because of the Pains of Poverty
Proverbs 19:4 says: Wealth maketh many friends; but the Poor is separated from his neighbour.
If you have money, you see a lot of People floating around you.
If the Lord had blessed you, you see many People coming to you. But once you are Poor Beloved Brethrens, you Stand alone.
… A lot of People don’t associate with Poverty.
Proverbs 10:15 buttress the same Point: The rich Man’s Wealth is his Strong City: the destruction of the Poor is their Poverty.
Money is Good Beloved Brethrens – No wonder the Bible says that: Money answereth all things.
Even though Money is not everything as I will like you to know that Money has its own Limitations.
Money is Good for the Prosperity of the Kingdom of God but equally, Money has its own Limitations!
For Example:
I. Your Money can buy you a Waterbed but cannot give you a “Sound Sleep”.
II. Your Money can guarantee you all Medical Services in the world but the Money cannot keep you alive.
We have a lot of People that has access to Money but Money fails when Sickness comes!
III. Your Money can cause a Rich Man to marry a Beauty Queen but you should also agree with me that Money cannot guarantee that Man to win a Love.
IV. Your Money can give you all the Security Gadgets in the world but your Money cannot guarantee you “Maximum Security”.
V. Your Money can buy you any Judgement in the world today but of course we know that your Money cannot buy you “The White Throne Judgement”.
The Truth of the matter is that Money has its Limitations and that is why we need to break off from the Pains of Poverty.
It is a terrible thing to be Poor.
When you consider the Pains of Poverty:
I. You are treated as Underlined.
II. Poverty cause People to move away from you.
III. They look down on you.
And that is the reason why the Need today to Exceed Expectations in the area of Finance!
And I’m trusting God Almighty that He will grant us the Opportunity, the Grace and the Privilege to break every Financial Limitations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
For the records, I will like to stress this quickly: Money comes from God – Financial Dominion, Financial Lifting only comes from God!
Deuteronomy 8:18 says: 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.
Money comes from the Lord – And so if there is anyone here or those reading now on the Label of DMC; trusting God for Financial Breakthrough, you only need to “Look Up” to God who is the Source!
Because if you are disconnected from the Source; it is just a matter of time as you will soon lack Resources.
Psalms 66:12 says: Thou hast caused Men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a Wealthy Place.
Coming to a Wealthy Place is only orchestrated by Divine Presence and by God Himself!
… You can’t come into the “Wealthy Place” if God did not Permit!
I want to salute God’s General – Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo for he has done so much on this Topic on Day 4 Afternoon Session on the Topic: Change Your Mindset
But you know the Truth of the matter is that: The Horse is Prepared against the Day of battle but Safety is of the Lord.
Long Lasting Money only comes from God – If God is the One that blesses you, then no enemy can curse you!
I also like you to know that: Even if such People take Shortcut to Wealth; Shortcut are liable to cut their Life short!
Proverbs 28:20 – The Bible says: A Faithful Man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
Another Translation says: … Shall not go Unpunished.
Many People are not Willing to wait upon the Lord – A lot of People are looking for “Jehovah Sharp Sharp”; they want to cut corners to make Wealth.
And that is why you see a lot of Ritual Killings in the world today because People are Willing to cut corners.
What is the Purpose of the Kind of Wealth you acquired at the expense of your Health? – Because eventually, you will spend the whole Wealth in trying to recover your Health.
Proverbs 13:11 – The Bible says: Wealth gotten by Vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by Labour shall Increase.
Pastor Matthew said that there is no “Bad Money” on Day 4 Afternoon Session. That Money only takes its Colourations from its Handlers – Money is just a Legal Tender but the one who is handling the Money is the one who determines if the Money is Clean or not.
Money is essential – Many of us gives Money different names:
I. In Church, we call it Tithe or Offering.
II. When you borrow it from the bank; it is called a Loan.
III. When you are Paid for a Whole Month Service, it is called Salary or Wages if Paid Daily/Weekly.
IV. When you wrongly received it to Pervert Judgement, it is called Bribe.
V. What you give to a Waiter for Service rendered is called Tips.
VI. What you collect after Retirement is called Pension.
VII. What you Paid during a Marriage rite is called Dowry.
VIII. What you Paid in Court when you make a Divorce and you are asked to Pay for it is called Fine.
IX. What you Paid to Kidnappers when someone is suddenly Kidnap is called Ransom.
X. What you get as a Reward offered for Increased Productivity for Essential Services is called Incentives.
XI. What you get as a Compensation for Service is also called Emunulment.
XII. What you Pay in School is called Fees.
XIII. What you Pay to your Landlord is called Rent.
XIV. Pastors, what you received after Ministrations is called Honorarium.
Money is Good but there are Keys to unlock the world of Financial Prosperity.
You can’t break Financial Limitations until you Possess these keys.
Money is of Value and wherever Valuables are kept, there is a Door that seals it up!
And that is why you need keys because if you don’t have these keys; you may be frustrated in your attempt looking for one.
In these Service, as God opens my eyes to see; I am going to release to us six (6) keys to break every Financial Limitations:
KEY NO 1: THE KEY OF OBEDIENCE
Obedience that is not Absolute is impotent.
Deuteronomy 28: 1-2 – The Bible says:
- And it shall come to Pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the Voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all His Commandments which I Command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on High above all Nations of the Earth:
- And all these Blessings (All Blessings your Heart desires) shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the Voice of the LORD thy God.
Many times, the Voice of the Lord is sounding so loud but the Voice of the People and the Voice of Reasoning overriding it.
Beloved Brethren, you have not taken a Step into breaking Financial Limitations until you fulfill the Key of Obedience.
The Bible says in Isaiah 1:19 – It says: If you are Willing and Obedience, you shall eat the Good of the Land.
Every Land has its own Goodies and it takes your Willingness, it takes your Obedience to unravel it.
Many People are Willing but only a few are Obedient.
And many of the Divine Blessings are arranged and well Packaged in our Obedience.
Ninety Nine Percent (99%) Obedience is not required when it comes to this Kingdom – It takes One Hundred Percent (100%).
Imagine a Man that left home to come to Church – Singing as he is coming and all of a sudden get to the Church and an Usher (Slim or Short) said: Good Morning sir, Please can you sit down here?
And you look at the Usher: Don’t you know who I am? We are the Leaders here; we know where to sit. You must be one of the New Ushers that just came to Church – God Bless You, I know where to sit.
And you go ahead to take another seat which was not assigned to you by the Usher standing there – Who happened to be “The Power that be”.
The Bible says that the Power that be are Ordained by God.
Listen to this – This is the implications: That Usher Standing there represent the Authority of the Pastor; the Pastor represent the Authority of the General Overseer; the General Overseer represent the Authority of Heaven.
… Now, the Bible says that: The Power that be are Ordained by God.
That Usher may be little before you but once you disobeyed him/her; and you take another seat, you miss your Blessings for that Service because where he/she asked you to sit; that is where Heaven in accordance to His Words has Programmed your Blessings!
Do you now see the reason(s) why many People come to Church but only a few had come to the Knowledge of Christ.
In the Book of 1 Samuel 15: 12-23 – Here you see the Story of God giving King Saul a Second Chance.
He first gave him opportunity in 1 Samuel Chapter 13 but Saul could no longer wait because in the Bible there are no King/Priest – You are either a King or a Priest.
Saul at that time happened to be a King but the Bible tells us that Israel will not go to war until a Sacrifice had been made.
Saul was expecting Samuel to come and Perform the Sacrifice and at that Junction, a lot of People has left him because he was busy waiting.
Israel will not go to war until Sacrifice has been made.
Now, the enemies had gathered together in Michmash and in Mount Bethel ready to wag war against the children of Israel.
And the Bible says immediately King Saul offered the Sacrifice – Which only a Priest could have offered.
Why did Samuel delayed?
Because of the aftermath of the Statement made; I believed that he must have been in Consultation with the Trinity – Asking God we don’t need to be changing Kings, let the Kingdom of Saul reigned forever.
And God said that I have told you that I will give you a Man after my own heart; a Man that will obey Me when I instruct – I will give you a Man that his Loyalty will be to Me.
And Samuel said: Please Lord, we don’t want to be Changing King and God said that on one Condition – If you maintained your Prayer; go down there. If you meet Saul waiting for you, his Kingdom will be forever.
… Which means that there won’t have been anything called “King David”.
But Saul couldn’t wait – He said because I saw the People scattered from me and you have not come according to the Time Appointed; I therefore force myself to offer a Sacrifice which only a Priest would have offered.
And Samuel said that you have done foolishly – He said that your Kingdom over Israel would have been established forever. He said now, the Kingdom will not continue.
Can I Pray for somebody in the House or reading now on the Label of DMC: May your Kingdom not be discontinued on the Account of Disobedience – Amen.
In 1 Samuel Chapter 15; God gave him another Chance – Go and destroyed the Amalekites; destroy the King and everything that breathes there.
What did Saul did?
He said that the People said that I should spared the fatling (DMC NOTES: A Fatling is a Young animal that has been fattened in readiness for slaughter.) and also equally spared the King.
As soon as Samuel returned, he said: What have you done?
He (Saul) said that the People said that we should make Sacrifice to the Lord.
And Samuel said: Did the Lord delight in Sacrifice other than obeying His Voice?
This is why Obedience is a “Mega Key” in this Kingdom – You cannot do without it. If you want to Exceed Expectations; the Number One Key is Obedience.
So, Samuel said: For to obey is better than Sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams.
I wish Saul could see into the Future and know the reason why God will give such a “Brutal Command” – Destroy everything that breathe including the children that sucks?
Why will God give such a Command?
Because there is a Tribe that Wickedness is in their DNA.
DMC NOTES: DNA, or deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the Hereditary Material in Humans and almost all other Organisms. Nearly every cell in a Person’s body has the same DNA. … The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
I know that many of you has not thought about this: Have you ever asked yourself what was the Offence of Mordecai to Haman? Why is it that Haman wanted Mordecai dead by all means?
Someone said that it is because Mordecai refused to bow down to Haman.
But the Truth is that this is not enough to attempt to finish his entire race.
But when you attempt to dig into their Foundations:
I. Who was Mordecai?
The Bible says that Mordecai is the Great Grandson of a Benjamite of Jerusalem named Kishi; the father of Saul.
II. And who was Haman?
Haman the Agagite; the surviving Grandson of King Agag that Saul spared. His father is named Hammedatha.
So, somehow: Haman must have heard in History that it was the Generation of Saul that wiped out his race.
Many atimes when you refused to finish a battle; you might be Passing it to another Generation.
… That will not be our Portion in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
KEY NO 2: THE KEY OF FAITHFULNESS.
You want to break Financial Limitations; you need the Key of Faithfulness.
Proverbs 28:20 says: A Faithful Man shall abound with Blessings: but he that maketh haste to be Rich shall not be Innocent.
Luke 16:10 says: He that is Faithful in that which is least is Faithful also in much: and he that is Unjust in the least is Unjust also in much.
Many of us say: Oh God, try me with Money then You will know that I love You; You will see that I will bless You.
And God will begin to try you with #1,000 – He wants to be sure that when you receive #1,000; #100 will not be too much for you to Pay as Tithe.
… He that is Faithful in that which is least, shall be made to oversee much.
Your Financial Ability is what determines your Financial Capacity!
You remembered the Story of the Talent – The Bible said that the Master gave one of his Servants five (5) Talents, he gave one two (2) and gave that Man one (1) Talent.
And the Man went to hide it.
But there is something the Scriptures said – It says: He gave them according to their “Several Abilities”.
Meaning what?
Your Financial Ability is what determines your Financial Capacity!
God has no Problem of releasing Wealth – He is not just a Waster of Resources. He wants to be sure that: What you are asking for, you can manage it; what you are asking God to give you, you can handle it.
Because if you can’t, God is not willing to waste Kingdom Resources.
What you are Trusting God to receive at the end of today; are you Prepared for it?
You are asking God to give you Twenty Million Naira (#20,000,000); and you don’t have a Bank Account?
If He releases the Money, where do you want to keep it?
Preparation is the Mother of Manifestation – This you need to understand!
You need to start Preparing for the Next Level that you are Praying for – Prepare for it!
You want God to increase you Financially; then you need to enlarge your Heart so that your Heart can accommodate that which is Coming.
If you have a Problem of Paying Tithe and yet you are Trusting God for Billions – The little God has given you, you are not Faithful!
Listen to this: Faithfulness thrives on three (3) things:
I. The Fear of God.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 says: Now, let us hear the Conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His Commandments: for this is the whole duty of Man.
Lack of the Fear of God has caused some People to eat what they are not supposed to eat.
When you eat your Tithe, it is as Good as eating Sand Paper which will not digest.
… As Believer, we were trained to know this.
Right from Childhood, it has been Part of us – Check out your Grandparents in the Village; with the little, little things they are receiving; they don’t joke with their Tithes.
These are Men and Women of Wisdom – Even in their Old Age, they know their Right from their Wrong.
If Grey hair cannot teach you Wisdom; I believe that it is not Internet that will teach you Wisdom!
II. Faithfulness thrives on the Sense of Contentment.
You need to know that what you have now is enough for now – Don’t kill yourself, don’t copy anybody, don’t try to be like A or B.
… What you have now is enough for now.
If you need God to increase what you have, then you need to enlarge your Heart, enlarge your Capacity!
It has always been the Problem of Handling Capacity, not the Problem of God releasing His Blessings!
… What you have is enough for now!
Trade with what you have, invest in what you have – That what you have, make use of it!
Everyone that God blesses, who are at the Point of collapsing Financially; God always ask them: What do you have in your hands. No matter how little it is.
Because when the Blessings is coming, it will only Increase that which you have in your hands!
What you have now is enough for now but you can get something better.
III. Faithfulness thrives on the Sense of Appreciation.
You must always learn how to appreciate People especially Good Things done for you.
You must learn how to say Thank You for every little, little show of Help that is rendered to you – Don’t be Ungrateful!
Even Jesus Christ Himself desires appreciation.
Remember that when ten (10) Lepers were Cleansed – He says: Were they not ten (10) Lepers that were Cleansed? How come it is only one (1) that came back to say Thank You?
He said that only this Samaritan came back – What happened to the rest? Where are the nine (9)? Probably, they were Jews, they were Brothers to Jesus Christ and they felt that what is the Point in Thanking Him? He is only Fulfilling His Obligations.
Why should we always say: Thank You to Daddy GO? Afterall, he is our General Overseer; he is our daddy, he is fulfilling his responsibilities.
I have come to realised some facts – If you have a home and in the same home; your daughter and Probably an Househelp – Imagine the mother of the house goes to the Market to buy undies and you came back home and gave it to them including the Househelp.
If what you gave to the Househelp is either Bigger Size or Unpleasant Colour; she will never complain – She can only say: Mummy, Thank You because she believed in the first Place she doesn’t deserve it as it is a gesture of Love.
But your daughter can tell you: Mummy, I have told you to stop buying things for me. You give me Money to go and buy myself because she believes that it’s your Right, it is your Responsibility.
But even if it is your Right; it is your Responsibility – Learn to be Appreciative!
If you are married: Appreciate your Spouse, appreciate your children if they do something Good, appreciate your Pastors when they Preach Good Sermon – Some Sermons are not common on the Pulpit.
Sometimes, I watch some People Preaching on the Television and they are Practically saying Nothing and People are clapping and they are shouting.
KEY NO 3: KEY OF DILIGENCE
Diligence as in “Working Hard” not as in “Hard Work”.
Because Prosperity and Final Breakthrough is not a thing of “Hard Work”.
Because if it is, those that dig well, they will be the richest but it is a thing of “Working Hard”.
The Bible says: Seeth thou a Man diligent in Business, he shall Stand before Kings and not mere Men.
You need to be diligent, you need to work with your whole heart.
Who is your Example?
I. God the Father is a Diligent God.
Genesis 2:8 – The Bible says: And the Lord Planted a Garden at the Eastward of Eden.
… God did not wish for a Garden. God did what? – He Planred.
God showed us how to be a Farmer.
God Planted a Garden, He took the Exercise, He did it Himself, He laid the Foundation.
… He is a Diligent God!
II. What about God The Son?
John 9:4; the Bible says: I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no Man can work.
Jesus also said: My Father worketh, hitherto I work.
So, God The Son is a Diligent God.
How do you know a Man with Genuine Anointing?
You can’t carry Anointing and you won’t be restless; you can’t carry Genuine Anointing and stay in one Place.
Acts 10:38 says: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with Power: who went about doing Good, and Healing all that were Oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.
You need to be diligent.
III. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that many of us claimed their Blessings today; this same God is a Diligent God!
When God called Abraham; God didn’t tell him to rear Cattles.
But when you checked Genesis Chapter 12; the moment the Blessings came upon Abraham, it was via Cattle Rearing – Abraham became an Herdsmen.
The Bible says that God increased him in Cattles until he became Great!
What about Isaac?
In Genesis Chapter 26; the Bible says that Isaac sowed in the Land even though there were death in the Land; it wasn’t a Palatable Time and Period but yet Isaac sowed and the Bible says that in the same Year reaped an Hundredfold until he became the envy of the Philistines.
In Genesis 26:30 – And the Man moved Forward.
In that Scripture, you will find the first “Xenophobic Attack” happened in the Bible – Abimelech says: Go from us because you are much Mightier than us.
There is a kind of Blessing that is coming upon someone in this Auditorium or reading now on the Label of DMC – After this RCCG Youth Convention 2021; anywhere you find yourself, you will become the envy of your Generation – Amen.
Jacob was a Specialised Farmer – The first Farmer to use Tractor and Engines to Plough.
So, if the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is your God; then you must be Diligent!
Laziness is a Career of Poverty – Do not enrol for such courses.
Do you know what is it to be Poor?
P – Pass
O – Over
O – Opportunities
R – Regularly
When you “Pass Over Opportunities Regularly”; the Bible says the Glory of the Youth is their Strength – When you have the time, seek Him while you still have the Opportunity, while you still have the Chance to do it.
KEY NO 4: THE KEY OF INVESTMENT
Ecclesiastes 11:1 talks about Investment.
The Bible says: Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
Another Translation says: Invest your Money in Foreign Trade; after a while Profit will flow back to you.
A lot of People are doing Investments.
And bless the Lord for Matthew Ashimolowo on Day 4 Afternoon Session – He told us a lot of things about Investment.
But Permit me to add in this Service, Seven (7) Deadly Investment Errors:
I. Don’t be Greedy – Be satisfied with Reasonable Returns on Investment.
II. Don’t be deceived by Tricksters who will lied to give you the Price you won in a Contest you did not Participate.
III. Take time to investigate Investment Opportunities – Don’t be trapped by hasty Decisions on Investment.
IV. Insufficient Diversification of Investment Portfolios can be dangerous.
Spread out your Investment and do not Put all your eggs in one Basket.
V. Never take an Investment Decision without “Appropriate Advice” from a “Professional Adviser”.
Poverty and Shame comes to him that lives without Instructions – That is what the Book of Proverbs said.
DMC NOTES: Proverbs 13:18 says: Poverty and Shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
We have People in the “Investment World”; seek Advise, seek Counsel.
VI. You must differentiate between: “Upward Investment” and “Downward Investment”.
Because “Downward Investment” is an Investment in which you consume on whatever you spend Money upon.
For instance: You buy shoes, suits – They are all “Downward Investments”.
Whereas “Upward Investment” is the type of Investment that brings Money into your Pocket.
This is what the Man called Robert Kiyosaki called Liability and Asset respectively!
VII. Never incurred debt for Non Productive Purposes.
Expenses such as Burial Expenses like Clothes, food, Exclusive Drinks or Killing seven (7) cows for the naming of your forth (4th) Child.
KEY NO 5: THE KEY OF TITHING
Malachi 3: 8-12 – The Bible says: You have robbed Him if you refuse to Pay your Tithe.
Everyone must Pay Tithe – It is in the Bible!
I. Abraham started it – Galatians 3:29.
II. Jacob continued same thing – Genesis 28:22.
III. Moses confirmed the issue of Tithe – Leviticus 27:30.
IV. God Promises a Blessing for it – In Malachi 3: 7-11; there is a Promise if you Pay your Tithe.
V. Jesus Christ recommended it – Jesus Christ Himself in the New Testament in Matthew 23:23.
VI. And Jesus Christ Himself received Tithe in Hebrews 7: 7-10.
Paying Tithe is not what you debate – It is a Command!
KEY NO 6: KEY OF SACRIFICE
Beloved Brethren, Sacrifice is not defined by its Volume but by the Value.
Sacrifice is not what you choose to Give but it is what He wants from you.
Sacrifice is not to be done where you want but where He Chooses.
Sacrifice may not necessarily be a “Cheerful Seed” – I know that God loveth a Cheerful Giver but this is Sacrifice.
… The Bible says: Those that sow in tears, they shall reap in Joy!
We have Opportunity here again, we should not miss it.
Do not forget Key No 1 – Which is Obedience!
That is the bedrock of which every other Keys mounted.
ALTAR CALL
You know that you hear or reading now on the Label of DMC and you have not been obeying all of God’s Commandments; I want you to rise up.
There is Mercy in the House today and we can equally join together and ask God for Mercy.
There are things God has been saying to you and you have not been doing it.
Please, run to the Altar quickly.
Come and say: Lord, I am sorry. Give me another opportunity, another Chance to obey you. I will be Willing to obey you from now on.
I wish to obey you in Fullness, in Total Beginning from today.
As you have come; begin to cry to God, repent of all disobedience.
Go ahead and begin to Pray!
If you are not yet saved, ask God to save your Life.
If there is anything that you need to be sure of; you need to be sure of your Salvation.
Say: Lord, Help me and I now know the reason why I am on a spot.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
Eternity in Heaven; I want to Thank You – Thank You for saving these lives.
Lord, I Pray my Father that You will forgive all manners of disobedience and You will give us another opportunity, you will give us another Chance in the Name of Jesus.
Give us another Grace so that we can Exceed Expectations.
Our daddy in the Lord, our Coach has told us on Day 4 during the Session with The Father, that we needed to do more.
And my Lord and my Father, we have been Praying that the Lord should give us Grace for everyone hearing the Sound of my Voice or reading now on the Label of DMC at this time; Lord I Pray my Father that You will empower us to do far Beyond Expectations.
Many are waiting for us to fail but we know that with You on our side; we will not fail: You will back us up, You will Support us, You will Help us in the Name of Jesus.
We surrender our lives to You; Help us, give us a New Beginning.
In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Glory be to God – Hallelujah!
SONG
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Jevohah the Man of War
His Mercy endureth forever and ever
Oh Praise His Holy Name
… Repeat!
Now, the rest of us; shall we rise to our feet – We will Pray just one Prayer Point.
Raise your Right Hands and say: My Father; every Financial Captivity, every Financial Bondage; let them be broken off in the Name of Jesus.
Go ahead to Pray Brethren!
Thank You Precious Father.
In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

It is outrightly wrong and a sin we frowned at it for anyone to consciously remove the original source of the work that does not emanate for him or her!
