DIVINE WEALTH BY: PST. E.A ADEBOYE

We need a new paradigm shift. Gone at the days when we must to equate poverty with holiness.The general believe is that the poorer you are the more humble you are likely to be. Many, hitherto, look down on anyone who is well dressed and when they see somebody riding a limousine, they will look at the fellow and conclude that the fellow is not going to heaven. Who told you? When I bought my Toyota Crown car, all my friends were buying Volkswagen Beetle cars.Many of them said, ‘Oh! What a pity. We thought God was going to use this brother, see he has not started and he has backslide. I asked why they thought I had backslide. They said, “Look at how long your car is. You cannot be riding in this big and very beautiful car and get to heaven”. I told them that I will get there before them. “I wish above all things”, that is what God says. I am not the one who wrote the Bible.

BLASPHEMING AGAINST AN ANOINTED MAN OF GOD

 Blasphemy does not only entail speaking against the Lord or the Holy Spirit. It is also possible to blaspheme a man of God. This is rampant today. Blaspheming against an anointed man of God is evil. When Angel Michael came for the corpse of Moses, Satan tried to stop him. Satan claimed that the corpse belonged to him. Angel Michael could not resist Satan. He actually said something surprising. Jude verse 9: “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” Angel Michael could not speak against Satan. The reason for this is found in Ezekiel 28:14: “Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so; thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stone of fire.” Satan is called an anointed cherub.

A BORROWED LIFE: PLEASE READ

Your life is a sacred trust bestowed on you by God. Your intellect, assets, money, gifts, talents and opportunities emanate from God - the giver of all good things. Ensure what you are endowed with are not abused and wasted; they constitute a loan, which you must retire at the end of your life. If God were to withdraw all His benefits and gifts from you, you would be empty. Malachi 3:6 tells us: “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” The position of God does not change.

SELECTIVE BLESSINGS:MUST READ

There are many categories of blessings. There are general blessings while there are special blessings. Today, we shall focus our attention on what is called selective blessings. For example, I know I have been selected specially for blessings. Verse 7 and 8 of our text says, “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.” You must have heard of motor accidents where everyone died with only one survivor.

CONQUER THE DEVIL:MUST READ

God has made provision for every weapon we will ever need in spiritual warfare. He knows how tough the battle will get in these end-times. He has, therefore, created such powerful weapons that will enable us to emerge victorious after every spiritual duel. God is ready to give you the ability to confront and conquer the devil. All you need to do is to be willing to receive the ability. You must be willing to draw upon the divine ability and resist the devil.
