thank you for joining us for another

power-packed message provided by monroe

global incorporated and monroe global

comm we transform followers into leaders

and leaders into agents of change we

hope that this message is a blessing to

you as you advance your life and

discover your purpose now let's go into

the message the kingdom power and

principle of management I read the

report yesterday that they anticipate

that by the end of 2009 four point seven

million people will be out of jobs in

the West they anticipate that by the end

of December 850,000 people be out of

jobs in the United States the

unemployment rate is about to hit 8%

which they've never had since the World

War I understand that the Bahamas is

beginning to feel the real effects of

the global economic crisis and I can see

it because I'm traveling and it takes a

while to sometimes hit home I look at

some of the other figures the the

European report is not exciting at all

the United Nations report that came out

yesterday anticipate that people who

were living on one dollar a day will now

jump from two million to seven million

people living on $2 a day will jump from

3 million to 9 million which means that

poverty is expanding I was also

intrigued and find out that they still

don't know whether the banks are going

to be solvent the experimentation that

they're going through with how do you

save the capitalistic

institutions they're still not sure

what's gonna happen when leaders are

guessing the followers are in trouble I

understand that our Prime Minister is

gonna be making national statement this

week which i think is very appropriate

to appraise the country of what is the

status and what we can anticipate

everything seems so gloomy

everything is predicting crisis but let

me just say a couple things about a

crisis a crisis is an event over which

you have no control right there down

what is the crisis a crisis is an event

over which you have no control that's

why it's a crisis so the way you get rid

of a crisis is you get the event under

your control

that's why usually crisis experiences

that you didn't prepare for did not

anticipate and that's why they call

crises so the way you minimize crisis is

to always be preparing for the

unsuspected and expected write this down

please

Kingdom citizens are not immune to

crisis I think that's important to

remember because you are living in God's

kingdom doesn't isolate you from

unexpected uncontrollable events so

settle that in your mind number two

remember that the storm will hit

everyone when it hits you know

hurricanes don't go around believers

houses and hit other people houses Jesus

made it very clear when he talks about

those who build their house on his word

he says the storms rose and the winds

blew and they hit both houses and so

crises affect everybody but he did talk

about the response of the two houses to

the crisis one of them crashed and the

other one stood firm because of the

foundation therefore the point number

three is important survival will depend

on your foundation knowledge remember he

said anyone who hears my words and puts

them into practice will be like a man

who built his house on a rock and when

the storms blow and the waves come and

the water rise that house stands firm so

it was not the storm that was the

problem it was the foundation that was

the problem if it wasn't the right

foundation then you have a problem so

crises are not problems they're going to

come

problem is what do you have to handle

the crisis that leads me to point number

four the key to that knowledge is

management

last week I introduced this important

point to you that God gave man

management management is the key to

prosperity in the middle of poverty I

want you to stop thinking like religious

people and start thinking like Kingdom

people religious people look for

miracles they want God to take care of

them without their effort they are lazy

they want magic supply they want

immediate response from God and if God

delays then they stop believing in him

this religious spirit is a dangerous

spirit and it's very pervasive we treat

God not even like Santa Claus because

even Santa Claus say you gotta be good

we treat God like the genie in the

bottle where we rub him three times he

comes out and he says make three wishes

no I put it to you friends that

management is the key to prosperity in

the middle of poverty believe me the

point number six management is the key

to promotion in crisis do you know that

people are gonna get promoted during the

next few months

some folks getting laid off others gonna

be promoted watch matter of fact some

folks will get more money now because

they can take the jobs of half-hearted

half lazy people who won't get fired and

they can take their responsibility and

add some of their paycheck to the old

paycheck they can get more money because

those who are good man

juice will be promoted God doesn't

promote you because you pray fasting

doesn't bring promotion reading the word

doesn't bring your promotion promotion

is the result of management therefore

point number seven is critical

management is the key to power in crisis

if you want to be the person with the

controlling position in the midst of

chaos you must be the one who haven't

been a good manager you never want to

lose a good manager so if you've not

been a good worker all these years you

must be nervous right now if you've been

coming late and they've been complaining

about you and your file get some letters

on it you know you're nervous now

because when they start cutting back

they're gonna go for the ones who are

the least valuable and the most problem

my job as city pastor is to prepare you

even for getting fired because your pass

is about to catch up with you now we

will pray for you and ask God to help

you and everything and maybe even give

some stars food but we can stop what's

coming down if you planted some bad

seeds that boy said management say it

loud one more time you know I thought I

would read this for you God promised

crisis you know we've been taught this

funny idea that you know God is a good

goal

would he only does things good good god

is good and so god only does good things

I remember

I'll now forget as a teenager I was

reading the Bible one day and I saw this

young wealthy guy walked up to Jesus and

he said to Jesus good master

I know you our man sent from God and

before he can make the other statement

Jesus stopped him Jesus excuse me

why do you call me good now wait a

minute if someone called you good you

should be nice and happy cry stopped it

why do you call me good before he can

answer Christ answered Christ says no

man knows what good is only God I was a

teenager when I got that key therefore

from that day forward my definition of

good was cancelled cuz I don't know what

good is only God knows what's good

because think what you think is good may

not be good and what you think is bad

may be good in God's plan so we find for

example here's God prophesying crisis

God is making a promise to a whole

country crisis is coming and he tells

the leader before it happens

let's read Genesis 41 you might want to

turn in here this is an important voice

to underline and remember this in your

Bible turn to Bible Genesis chapter 41

it's a story about a young man named Joe

y'all know Joe Joe was 17 years old when

he began to make an impact not Joe the

Plumber

is that what you're laughing at I don't

believe this

[Applause]

this is Joe the Prince of Egypt by the

way Joe wasn't even licensed plumber

said I talked with that you were reading

as a plumber Genesis 41 verse 42 says

then Joseph said to Pharaoh watch

carefully now the dreams of Pharaoh are

one and the same God has revealed to

Pharaoh what he is about to do the seven

good cars are seven years and the Seven

good heads of grain are seven years it

is one and the same in the dream the

seven lean ugly cars that came up

afterwards are seven years and so are

the seven worthless heads of grain

scorched by the east wind they are seven

years of farming the word farming here

means crisis write it down in your notes

famine every time see the word famine is

talking about economic crisis in those

days that economy was built on

agriculture so the worst thing for those

countries was farming our country in the

Bahamas is built on tourism so the worst

thing we could ever have is what affects

travel so we are in crisis because

consumer confidence of fallen 0.3% again

in the last seven days which means

people are not spending money not good

for us

so here God is prophesying there's gonna

be farming now I have a question here

who allows crisis I want you to read

this verse because God says he allows

crisis to touch it to test your

management

look at verse 32 Joseph says the reason

the dream was given to Pharaoh Pharaoh

is the the leader the president of the

country the king

the reason the dream was given to

pharaoh in two forms is that the matter

has been firmly decided by God and

thought will do its own underline that

verse look there's gonna be crisis don't

pray for it to go away

I ain't taking it away I'm decided God

decides crisis well let's fast and pray

that it'll go over because everything

going over y'all let's go hit and hit

everybody God is quite aware of the

global economic confusion he probably

orchestrated it just to remind the

capitalists that they are not

capitalizing on anything our faith has

been in our money and God has made our

money lose value when your God is money

and he devalues your money

he just devalued your God look at that

verse again he says the Lord not only

showed it to you once he showed it to

you twice in case you try to change his

mind I'm not changing my mind there will

be crisis that will be farming I've

decided God says we always blamed the

devil now I want you to think about this

a God has a young guy named Joe and Joe

is fairly unknown so dars about to

create opportunity for him to get

promoted but he needs a crisis so the

guy could show his managed mobility we

don't believe me read the next verse

this is very interesting in the book of

Genesis chapter 41 verse 33 it says and

now Joseph talking left Pharaoh look for

a discerning and wise man and put him in

charge of the land of Egypt left Pharaoh

appoint commissioners over the land to

take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt

during the seven years of abundance they

should collect all the food of these

years that are coming and store up the

grain under the authority of Pharaoh to

be kept in the cities for food this food

should be held and reserved for the

country to be used during the seven

years of famine that will come upon

Egypt so that the country may not be

ruined by the crisis you know last week

someone had been him

they've been insulted by what I said

when I mentioned that there was a time

not too long when the Bahamas is doing

well we had good money and the question

of what did the leaders do with the

money

chosen says look take the good years and

invest them and store them up because

everything goes in cycles nothing is

permanent to everything there is a

season that means you got a good tourist

season I'd guarantee right behind that

is a tough one

so you gotta use the resources in the

good season to back up yourself against

the bad season he says that you can work

will be not be ruined by the crisis very

important now what

watch the response to Joseph's chapter

20 41 rather verse 39 then Pharaoh said

to Joseph since God has made all of this

known to you there is no one as

discerning and as wise as you you shall

be in charge

promotion now of my palace and all my

people are to submit to you and to your

orders only with respect to the throne

will I be greater than you is that a

promotion is that a promotion by the way

Joe is only 30 years old at this time 30

he's getting promoted in the midst of

crisis is about to hit the country

because he came up with a management

plan look at the next verse so Pharaoh

said to Joseph I hereby

you in charge of the whole land of Egypt

then Pharaoh took his signet ring from

his own finger and put it on Joseph's

finger he transferred all the authority

of the country this young man he dressed

him in a robe of fine linen put a gold

chain around his neck he had him ride in

a chariot has his second-in-command and

men shouted before him make way make way

thus he put him in charge of the whole

land of Egypt first of all remember that

Joseph is not even an Egyptian he's a

foreigner let me tell you something it's

a good manager it doesn't matter where

you came from and that's a poor hand cuz

some of y'all got some problems let me

tell you something is that why they

bring them in well it depends on how

well you've been doing

do you know listen I went to do a

seminar at Atlantis some time ago a hold

a session some of y'all here might have

been in that seminar and do you know

before I went down to do the seminar in

the big meeting room there I met with

the general manager in a private meeting

and two other people people in Atlantis

and he said we invited you to talk to

the people because we having some

problems

the main problem he talked about was

Stephen teefin i.e f ing he said we are

losing some a'chicken oh you think it's

funny

he says pilfering pilfering is such a

major issue here users we know we bought

in 3000 chicken we can only find two

thousand well check anything on the

wings they did they can't fly and these

people that's people's monies and then

we get mad when someone comes from

outside say you know let me let us join

us watch my chicken Joseph was a

foreigner it was management that

promoted him

if you steal a paperclip chicken any far

away

you think I'm kidding

once your conscience don't bother you

get a paperclip

there are some companies right now in

our country who are celebrating the

crisis they finally got an excuse you

fill in the blank

he said Joseph I'm gonna put you in

charge of my whole country because you

have a management plan I look at the

next verse this is good stuff a Genesis

41 verse 46 Joseph was what 30 years old

when he entered the service of Pharaoh

the king of Egypt and Joseph went out

from pharaoh's presence and traveled

throughout the Egyptian land during the

seven years of abundance the land

produced plentiful tourism Joseph

collected all the food producing those

seven years of abundance in Egypt and he

stored it up in cities in which each

city he put the food grown in the fields

surrounding it

Joseph stored up huge quantities of

grain like the sand of the sea it was so

much that he stopped keeping records you

should keep her act as you see recording

every power

it was beyond measure what a manager and

that may sound simple you know but he

had to convince people not to teach the

green

nothing's going on there who did it

stranger come on tell us what to do with

our brain Hey

you see that's why Pharaoh gave him the

ring cause he knew his own people they

were from the Bahamas hey hi how come

you tell me what to do

I'm not you ain't from here you sure

ring we gonna store the grain over there

and take the stuff with your pocket to

start with your pocket okay over there

see ya what's the batter it's put the

chicken back yeah okay sometimes we hate

and people come who are new they break

up our racket

look straight look straight

will nobody look at you look at straight

yeah that's why we like to help people

who we know around us because they buddy

in on the tank

see that's why God brings new people in

like Joseph to get management done you

need to have authority that's respected

one of our problems in the Bahamas and

then the Caribbean alone is the spirit

of entitlement but I entitled to this

i-beam in slave you know

oh shut up and manage well you know I

know I was oppressed enough in my time

oh yeah you get the spirit frog we got

this strange idea that life over

something and what they pay me enough so

I Karen somebody's chicken

they justify it you work in the food

store stocking the shelves but they

ain't paying me enough so I can't some

of this cuz just make it for what they

should have been paying me and you take

them and stuff on the warehouse justify

an evil and God taking notes

Joseph said we are gonna save this we

gonna store it up by the way you know

what's important in this verse to have

it underlined there he stored up hey

boys they store it up I mean we take

what's important to learn from that God

wants you to save write that down please

you know my god is abundant abundant you

better save people who've been

disciplined and who have been careful

with their resources and they have

disciplined themselves to save it over a

long period of time those are the ones

God give more to you know God used to

bless you you remember that and you say

it slow God used to bless you you wonder

what you don't know why it stopped he

can't figure out what you did with the

blessing

hmm may God have mercy on our souls so

yes I want to remember the principal key

that God gave man was management you

manage God promotes you manage God will

protect you you manage God prosper you

the foundation of Kingdom life is

management the reason why God put you on

earth was management that's why God put

you on earth you know I showed you this

last time that the word manage begins

with man it's the age where man is

responsible for God's resources manage

simply means you are in charge of

another person's resources God gave man

you'd dominion over the earth which is

management and all humans are managers

over God's property

God gave us rulership not ownership so

we are always managers and that means

that in the kingdom of God no one owns

anything even those who claim to own

they don't own anything on the earth the

earth is the Lord's and the fullness

thereof and the world and they that

dwell therein and so no matter who

claimed to have what God says you are

only a manager in my eyes and I'm

watching how you handle my resources our

countability

is the natural result of management God

will check to see if you can give an

account of what he gave you

and that includes everything like time

relationships money investment people

opportunities how you manage everything

God's watching you can miss manage

friendships you can miss manage your

marriage

effective management determines the

amount of your resources you can always

tell who's a good manager they keep

attracting more a good manager will

attract more

a good manager will attract more and so

here is my my reminders what is

management write this down those of you

who are in business you wanna write this

down twice management is the effective

efficient correct and timely use of

another person's resources and you do it

for the purpose for which they were

delegated with a view to producing the

expected added value management

therefore is the correct efficient and

timely use of another person's resources

with a view to giving them a report in

keeping with what they expected you to

gain from the investment can I put it

another way a good manager always adds

value to what was given to him or her a

good manager always adds value to what

was given to her or him a good manager

always adds what value to what was

delegated to them that's management

management is proven by value

you know we began this ministry with

nothing seven people today we were over

ten million dollars I think God might

kind of think I did okay now if God give

you ten dollars I wonder what he wants

remember the guys who had the talents

three guys with the talents remember the

one who had the one he had it won yeah

he was from being down he took that one

and he buried it in the ground the Bible

says and he said to himself I gotta keep

this so I can give it back to the boss

because I know the boss is a stingy

fella that what'd he say he says a

random master came back the one who had

the five made a ten the one who had the

the the four made it eight he said but

this guy who had the one he still had

the one now listen to his response

firstly call them lazy and then wicked

wickedness is not juju and bubu

wickedness is when you mismanage any of

God's resources

that's a wickedness wickedness to God is

when you take something that he gave you

and it loses value now jesus said and

the master said unto the servant at

least you could have put it in the bank

and got interests in other words

management has to do with at least

interview and work in it at least let it

work for itself let me draw that home to

you I don't know who gonna lose their

job in this church but a whole lot of

jobs don't get lost we could pray and

fast and believe God speaking towns and

carry Bibles in our pockets but let me

tell you something that Christ got storm

gonna hit everybody how valuable have

you made yourself on your job what kind

of value do you bring to that department

how have you made yourself so valuable

that you the last person they think

about getting rid of God gave you the

job he gave you an opportunity have you

added value to it and I didn't value it

doesn't mean you're showing up for work

you know it means being creative on the

job come with ideas to make the business

grow because you are there conquer ideas

to make the department expand find some

new ideas to bring more business that's

management in your area you're the kind

of person they don't want to get rid of

some folks just come to collect a

paycheck

do you add value

I put it this way cities are loud with

me please go God will not give you what

you pray for

but what you can manage can't say it

again everybody God will not give you

what you pray for

he will give you what you can manage

number two economize means to maximize

the minimum he's supposed to get the

most out of the least that's being

economic we got a bunch of land in

Andrus ever since I was a little boy I

kept wondering why they got no big farms

some of the best soil I ever saw is in

Andros and we still an important 90

percent will be eaten I'm sitting

thinking what's going on here there's no

dedication to maximizing the minimum we

have I want to encourage some of our

young people here ask God to not let go

and be no lawyer and no doctor be any

kind of meaning the more them we need

some farmers it's a horticulturist some

people who can produce food let me tell

you something those who produce food

will become the most valuable people in

the world the next ten years because you

cannot eat a computer I guarantee you

you gonna go to college study

agriculture agricultural science you got

a choice between gasoline and milk I

think you're going for the milk you no

choice between a palm violet and some

food

you're going for the food and that's why

we coming down to we coming down to that

we we're coming down to whether being of

oil or we have food let's think

write this down please to get the most

out of the least is economizing when you

add value to your gift then God treats

you as an attraction for resources

I made this statement years ago as to

make it again answered prayer is

regulated by your capacity to manage no

matter what you pray for

guardian listen to your prayer he

watching whether you can manage it he

doesn't look at what she was asking for

he looks at what you're doing it what

you have and then that determines where

you should answer your prayer because

your prayer is regulated by your

capacity to manage what you ask it for

and most of us if we got our prayers

answered it would kill us

could you imagine asking God or Lord in

a million dollars a million dollars were

killed 90% of you in this room if you

dropped on your lap right now I'm dead

will last for 90 days straight in Miami

bomb

Flagler Street pure now some of you are

skating on New York right going to your

family it's just out of control no

management I remember years ago you know

when a Bahamian group became famous and

they hit one day records hit bomb boy

next thing we saw he so I kind of call

that cheer yeah

now all them broke they didn't

understand management determines how God

answers your prayer God does not

encourage waste I'm coming down to the

final point here tonight

I mean this morning because I want you

to leave this place in the next three or

four weeks you know we don't know what

happened but based on all the

predictions is not going to be

encouraging but I want to encourage you

today what to do like Joseph you prepare

for the crisis first thing you must

understand is that God hates waste so

start going through your house right now

and check all your waste I remember this

story here when Jesus fed the people

bread and fish we find this that says so

they sat down in groups of hundreds and

fifties and taking the five loaves and

two fishes and looking up to him and he

gave thanks and broke the loaves and

then he gave them to disciples to sit

before the people he also divided the

two fish among them all and they all ate

and was satisfied but here's the part

that was interesting it says and the

disciples picked up twelve baskets of

broken pieces he said pick up every

crumb I don't know what you're gonna do

today when you go to lunch but be

careful what you leave in the plate

he hates waste you and a filled with

5,000 he said pick up every crumb he was

trying to teach them a lesson about

management

do you know where everything is in your

finances well where'd went last month

can you a comfort every penny and if you

come forward did it make sense

management pick up every crumb

it's a good time to have a rummage sale

a garage sale you got a bunch of stuff

you sell them cheap collect some money

and clean your house the same time

that's management it's good management

management is defined as diligence with

resources he has two verses of Scripture

I want you to remember proverbs 13:20

says a good man leaves an inheritance to

his children's children but the sinners

wealth is thought of for the righteous

we done with that last week the fact

that God knows who has your wealth who

has it the sinner who gave it to him God

why because the sinner can manage it

that's a very very terrible indictment

on the believer proverbs 10:4 says lazy

hands make a man poor but diligent hands

bring well the word diligent ear means

management lazy hands make a man poor

diligent hand brings a man wealth ain't

no mystery about wealth it's a product

of management management means you keep

that car for the next three years

because you're trying to manage enough

to get property because property and car

are two different investments yeah but

just just a guy on your car forget

sister just like a car but no house you

trying to get house that takes

discipline diligent hands

sometimes even when even where you rent

and get check where you rent it you

might be reading out of your league

let me say it slow you might be renting

out of your capacity because you try to

impress some people if you gotta borrow

to pay rent you need a lot of help and I

don't take it personally please I want

you to understand that may simply means

you got to sit down with someone and let

them go through I don't get mad at me no

think it might be were you able to do

see that's why you miss them now you

wouldn't listen to advice the only time

that because you ain't got no problem

listen to me

see you don't tell me my story I feel

like tellin a piece of my story right

now I came from school and live with my

mother-in-law for four years in the same

house with a wife and a child because we

couldn't afford the pay no rent we were

trying to buy property we kept the red

car so long the car helped me see on us

I remember going off my wife laughing go

with I took that silver tape and tape up

the bumper I tell her we ain't changing

this car why we got to get that property

down there in Western villas we gonna

get our own house we gonna sleep at your

mama I got to a pride you better go back

home now I got my house is paid for I

got my car got three of them don't get

but you don't know what I went through

to get what I got it's management listen

don't try to be like me it took me 30

years to beat me let me get all uptight

you know what you don't understand

thank God for good medicine laws boy she

was a good mother I love my

mother-in-law she in heaven now bless

your mama good boy you know I put my

pride between my legs

[Applause]

now I got my house paid for and you see

right mad at me trying to impress

everybody else and can't pay the rent

hey boys in management

you got a management don't live above

your means you ain't got no one to

impress you try to impress people you

can depress yourself great cop race come

on you you get a brush and a thing it is

harmony folks you trying to impress

they depressed they can't pay there's

either and by the way and I told you

last week you know the best company to

keep it's not bad poor people if you

pull on your friends poor boy you big

trouble

it says a lazy man does not roast this

game but the diligent man prizes his

possession that means I prize that red

Dadson didn't is a laugh at me smoke I

go into my education but they didn't

know what I was paying for property in

West Village but as many money fourteen

thousand dollars for one piece of

property

today it's wait a hundred and sixty

thousand dollars just for the property

but I had to manage hold back discipline

swallow my pride management

some of you got to make some changes in

the next few weeks that's why God let's

send your pastor to talk to you Street

see someone got to tell you what you're

doing you can't afford right now step

back make some new decisions get

yourself back on level ground and manage

what you can manage cuz you can't pray

your way out of this stuff you gotta

manage your way out of this stuff

proverbs 13 4 says the sluggard craves

and gets what nothing

great let me the slack of the lazy

fellow I was growing boy

I hit it big you know you're the big I

gotta think big you broke and they

almost got when plying and always the

sluggard always got a plan

sluggard they always got one idea and

they always broke I avoid them I can

smell them a mile away see the Bible the

Bible so good the Bible says what the

sluggard crave want plenty gets nothing

but it says what the desires of the

diligent that means little by little

fully satisfied probably 21 says the

plans of the diligent need to profit as

surely as haste leads to what poverty

mister boy you know I hit it big if

anyone tells you it's that easy it ain't

true I've never seen fast money in my

life yet there's no fast money in the

world now some of y'all playin numbers

and all that good stuff

I rebuke that spirit of this church in

the name adjust if I

I tell y'all right now now if I ever

find out make sure I don't need to do it

make sure I don't find that if I ever

find out you play in numbers I come into

you

I can rebuke you in Jesus name and I

expose you publicly look at that verse

you're supposed to plan your way to

success no quick money I hear this guy

on TV the other day talking but you know

legalizing gambling for the Bohemians I

said myself you know he don't understand

the whole principle that we're after the

president is not the gambling is the

weak fella sitting next to you who can

handle it take his whole mortgage

payment mess his family up we got to

protect that guy against himself

I'm Bahamian would any plenty protection

or they come to the church to fix it

yeah yeah blues I was wonderful yeah the

church bail em out see no quick money in

life

ya know manage your life let me just

close it's a couple of thoughts here

write this down look Jesus said there

was a rich man whose manager was accused

of wasting his goods and he called him

and asked him what is this I hear about

you give me an account of your

management because you cannot manage me

any longer he got fired Jesus is

speaking well I guess look at the next

verse verse 8 the master commended the

dishonest manager because he had acted

wisely and he said the people of this

world seem to be more shrewd and wiser

in dealing with their own resources than

the people of light I tell you make

friends with the world use worldly

wealth to make friends he says make

friends with wealthy people so that you

will know how they do it now notice what

he says here he says the people are wise

in the world and the people of light

that's why they got the money God don't

give me money because you saved

again money because you can manage it

my god have mercy on us I like the way

Jesus ends this story he says whoever

can be trusted with very little can also

be trusted with what much and whoever

can be dishonest with little it will be

dishonest with what much see that

paperclip and the chicken that one

envelope from the company will lead to a

typewriter later you can carry home in

your car he says you can be honest with

the little poor chicken people let me

tell you something the reason why your

parents would whip you for stealing a

truck lens it's because they know one

day you're gonna be a teller in the bank

and if you get away with it thruppence

started taking the people's money from

there the teller if you are dishonest

with literally says you be dishonest as

much if you mismanage little you listen

you miss man as much and then he says if

you are not worthy to handle worldly

wealth who will give you true riches oh

by the way let me explain it to you

because I when I did the researcher of

this particular statement in college I

was in dr. Honda's class the Greek day

is very interesting it actually means

that if you are able to handle people's

resources in the company gotta give you

true riches churches means people in

other words if you handle other people's

departments will he'll give you your own

employees you know we always have people

say well I leave in my job and I stop

maybe I'm gonna leave my job and I start

my business my first question is how

well did you do on your job who tell you

somebody want to work for you you

couldn't even go to work on time when

the other man's job how about your

people skilled you did you learn them on

the other man's job

the last part is one that always gets me

if you have not been trustworthy with

someone else's property who will give

you property of your own write this down

God will never you never begin with your

own property

God will never begin with your own

property you have to earn the right to

own property that's why when you got

married you had to start renting when

you start your business you have to

start ready let me start this ministry

we had to start renting God oh let's see

how you're having other people property

first some of y'all are renting right

now and don't know that that's the will

of God for you right now

God's got a plan for your own house but

read that verse carefully he's I'm

watching how you handle the other man's

properly if you treat the other man's

probably as if it's your orders then

I'll give you your own how often of this

and by the way those of you who who rent

things to people I know you know what

I'm talking about if you own apartments

and you rent to people Jesus Lord you

feel like you're selling it yeah some up

here I mean it's just crazy people think

it's you know and that's why they're

still renting and they'll always be

renting it's a law

that a my tile I fix in that tile in the

bathroom wait a minute you live in there

your children in the using the bathroom

well I know in the landlord here where

he come back next week and he come back

for a change it's like both what's wrong

with you

God said if you can't be trusted with

other people's lightbulbs so give me

your open light books you know it's

dangerous alone someone your car for two

weeks while you're on vacation

boy that's a test in the mud this ain't

my car I remember that here you guys

watching that's why you catching the

jitney you cannot be trusted with other

people's car got to make sure you always

catch a jitney

go to work tomorrow clean up around your

desk or clean up around the place where

you work

treat as if it's yours already if you

are a contractor treat the place in

house as if you're building for yourself

and your wife give them the nice

beautiful cut kind of wood right right

doc take your time if you treat it like

it's yours he says I'll give you your

own management the name of Jesus help us

Lord right is down

tithing is God's management training

program God will watch how you manage

resources by how you manage his tithe

God don't need no money you don't need

nothing from you so there's another

reason why he asked you for 10% 10%

God can use 10% he owned the whole thing

but he's trying to check if you can

manage

putting aside something that ain't yours

now remember if you've been faithful

over another man's property he'll give

you more property of your own tide for

example it's not your property

the Bible says the tithe is the Lord's

so I want to say I don't think but money

only okay it could be you got 10 pairs

of shoes only one of them one day I'm

gonna belong to you he could tell you

give that repair shoe away tithing is

God's management training if you cannot

stay consistent in disciplining yourself

to always be faithful in paying what God

says his God says I can't trust you with

more

tithing requires accountability it

requires discipline it requires honesty

it requires diligence faithfulness

trustworthiness all of these

make up management

I remember God telling the train of

Israel and Malachi he says look you guys

are teefin from me they said how are we

teeth in from you

he says untie than an offering he said

you are eating my tithe and then he says

if you would be faithful and start

paying your tithes again I will open the

windows of heaven and pour you out a

blessing you cannot contain then he says

and if you do that the Devourer will not

come and take what you have and eat up

your crops and destroy your vineyards in

other words if you don't learn to manage

even by just tithing I'm gonna let the

Devourer overtake everything you'll

always have nothing God doesn't want

your money you know the hardest part of

our ministry as a pastor I tell you now

is offering time

boy I tell you it's a struggle because

people think you really want their money

God's trying to do something deep do you

know why we can't really give and pay

tax because we haven't managed our own

resources so we are so mismanaged we

can't afford to give God his own

property all right we got four

toothpastes and for tomato paste you

know god I can catch you next week I

gotta take care of the toothpaste for

the kids I can buy something let's see

because Polly so mismanaged we can't

even give God what's his property and

then he says if you miss manage my

property I'll make sure you never any of

your own so you always got like now not

having any of your own means whenever

you get something you borrowed it so

you're constantly going deeper and

deeper in debt all the time you got to

borrow money just to live so tithing

protects you against the future crisis

I have a seven ways for you to manage

crisis write this down please are we

gonna pray number one determine what

your needs are

first I'm giving you advice to go

through the next 12 months first if

you're going to manage yourself you have

to decide what are your needs

hey boy say needs say it loud please a

closing - a loud needs means these ain't

things you want when you're in crisis

you got to know the distinction very

quickly between what you want and what

you need your wants will destroy you in

crisis I want to eat out for last year

but now it's crisis time you need to

carry lunch from home I want to still go

for lunch with my friends everybody here

but it's crisis time you need to stay

woman cook what's the difference a you

want that dress in the window yeah I

know but you don't need that dress in

the window you better know what to do

right now it's a difference number two

and this one is important only acquire

what you need say loud only acquire what

you need I'm talking to all my family

here please I'm begging you to take

these seven points home with you only a

quiet what you need you don't need new

piece of property right now you can

acquire them later and you know now you

know if you're a good manager you're

probably in a good position to buy

property but if you've been a bad

manager you can have no property right

now so don't walk around trying to

impress nobody I read the ad idea you

broke and if you have money saved

keep it hold on to it my Joseph until

the crisis

we taste something in crisis you need

liquid that's for the bankers okay we

say it again in crisis you need liquid

hard assets don't make no sense in

crisis you need liquid liquid means you

need cash in the bank that means don't

spend your cash everybody say it say it

loud one more time I'm talking as a

prophet say it again don't spend your

cash no matter what they tempt you with

no Miami trip no Christmas shopping with

the cash and don't borrow money to go

over no Christmas tonight I want you to

ask God to give you a vision of what the

gift for gifts get some coconuts and

Peter what do you think I'm kidding

let me tell you something when you see

February and March hit in the first

quarter there gonna be a whole lot of

folks in this church screaming for help

don't be foolish only acquire what you

need

listen I got a big family most of them

in here right now I'm telling them right

now to expect much from Papa what

anybody got to manage do i impress

nobody with no Christmas baked cakes put

their name on it

in town this was tough he's the given

plastic bag these tough min your poor

can app and juju and poke a plum in a

bag with a bowl right on and you take

your time and eat each one slow enjoy

that Christmas I remember one time man

my daddy ain't yet it's one of the

venue's hey daddy hey son we can take

Paul bike we can rewrap it for you Paul

is my brother

rewrap my brother bike for me that's

Christmas I was so glad I finally get

you back yeah that has arrived again not

a words don't stress yourself and cause

yourself to lose management Joseph had

to stop eating grain during the good

time
number three decide not to live beyond

your ability hey boy say decide say that

loud then louder shake the roof come on

in louder that has to be a decision that

ain't gonna happen by itself you got to

decide beginning this month I will not

extend myself beyond my ability if I

can't do it I can't do it

this is crisis management

and before we draw the unnecessary okay

you part of a club and you pay in fees

tell them make a big draw for now you in

this group and they want you to get at

it to get rid draw for that for now see

yeah you know you you you use plan to go

to the girl with the girls go in the

Orlando sharpen your dues every year

I've been drawing for now you know a

little soon and I've been drawing for

now you gotta withdraw in crisis you got

to like Joseph you got to get a fine a

hole and put the wheat in the hole it's

okay to withdraw in crisis

on the five delay major projects you

know governments are doing it companies

are doing it you have to do it you know

these major companies are amazing they

ain't got no feelings they say things

like this cut staff 35% and then they

walk at the boardroom that's how you got

to be in your personal life right now

they don't care who goes they don't care

how you did it just cut it 25 percent

they say cuz when you in crisis you

can't have feelings that's why I Pharaoh

gave Joseph that ring he couldn't work

on feelings he had to work on Authority

you have to delay major projects I know

you've been planning to build this house

or building a condominium or trying to

stuff back off for a minute

and make sure you recount what your

preservations are your reservations are

because the market is doing crazy things

and you want to be in a position of

strength you want have liquid

number six value your possessions I wish

I had time to even talk about this one

you know there's stuff you get that are

very valuable but you don't know they're

valuable until you really think about it

some of you got for example two cars you

only drive one well that's a good time

now you know that old car you can see

could sell it now and get some liquid

put it in the bank

you got five piece of property all right

you can get one of them you know sell

what looks like you got possessions you

want to get some liquid sell one of them

put in the cash in the bank you want to

have access to liquid value your

possessions

you got a house with five rooms only you

want to live in there maybe you could

extend for someone to come and move in

and pay rent but they can't afford a

rent somewhere else and I'm come living

rooms and they pay you that room was

dead you sleep in a house with three

bedrooms then giving you nothing now you

can make them produce something that's

valuing your possessions you got his

truck no problem I notice a nice truck

you got your big wheels on it and

everything

but you broke so turn this truck now

into something to carry some thing move

a moving company value it turn it into

money

yeah I almost crashed my dress scratch

you can lose the scratch and the truck

if you don't pay that note of the bank

you better turn that truck into asset

that is liquid cut of all your

possessions is this making sense you the

last one

and this one is a tough one for

Bohemians save conserve and protect save

is so tough people come to me all the

time as I cannot save and then they sit

with me after but you know an hour and

they realize they could save you could

save some of you think you need money

you don't need money you need management

people come to me for help and I tell

them okay go and see this person why I

want that person not to give them money

I want to give them some sense they need

some wisdom some structure they need

management skills

safe conserve means turn the lights off

only drive if you need to drive if

someone pick you up tell them come right

along pick me up save my gas hey

conserve you used to buy for a dollar

bread you can't afford four dollar bread

no more go back to you know how much it

is that their breath

what's your lease price bread we can

call it the Saints bread okay here you

better on huh - da da nine cent but I

still up there know Jesus then but

that's the lowest one if what are you

talking about yeah that's the lowest one

you do you know why because the price of

flour it's so high for them see so they

need to to get that money back so you

see everything someone say bake your own

bread baking bread yeah you might only

heavy brands coming to chew these heavy

breads like me everybody say conserve

yes only use that condition the way you

need it turn the rest off with all this

cool air open the windows shut it off

you buy farm that's conserving when you

are in management mode and crisis mode

you have to conserve the government's

that have to do it

and then protect you have to protect

what you have the most important thing

you have is your name so you don't want

to go running around borrow money from

everybody else that putting your name in

danger because when it's all over all

you got is still your name may the Lord

give us wisdom in Jesus name thank you
