[Music]
thank
[Music]
you so how many questions were
there what was the first
one are you an architect
are you an
architect I'm a
pastor I mean he means your
profession preacher
[Applause]
I mean you've been here six times and
all six times what did you see me
doing all
right okay so he wants to know um since
the word of God has granted us all these
wonderful things how do
you convert
from the
spirit to the
natural
right there are no dollars in
heaven no Euros in
heaven what they call the curreny in
Brazil what
okay whatever it sounded like yeah
yeah that one is not in
heaven I know the Indian rupees right
yeah there are no rupes in
heaven so if you ask God for
rupes they're not going to come from
Heaven all the rupes you need are in the
Earth all the dollars you need are in
the Earth all the gold all the silver
boy I saw something oh I shouldn't
bother you with
this all right so don't worry about that
one I I that's another day don't
worry but there's something nice I can
show you here
you know
that the spirit
world gave birth to this world and we've
said that before
right it's something you already
know the spirit world gave
birth to this
world I want you to go to the Book of
Proverbs for a
second
read
verse
16 chapter 10
can you read
it the labor of the righteous his work
so the righteous works all
right you've seen it right so the the
the righteous works
but his work tends to life
whereas the result the fruit of the
wicked tends to sin but what I want you
to notice there is the righteous does
labor but his labor is work that
produces life okay now with that in mind
I want you to go over to verse same book
same chapter I want to go over to verse
22 read for me
have you seen
that one more
time one more
time great now I want you to read it
from the
New King James
Version New King James version one 2
Go the blessing of the Lord makes one
rich and he has
no sorrow now the word that's translated
sorrow
is
toil to
toil it means to work with hardship with
strain with
difficulty so the righteous does labor
does work but his labor is not with pain
now this sorrow I talking about is the
same sorrow that God said the woman will
give birth in sorrow what you call
Labor when they say the woman is in
labor that doesn't mean she's mowing the
lawn that means she's having she's
giving birth with
difficulty
sorrow with difficulty with
pain and strain
that curse was she bring forth children
with
difficulty now the the word says the
blessing of the Lord makes one rich and
he doesn't add difficulty with it no
difficulty no
strain so your work tends to life your
work is not laboring so you can get
money your work is with
relaxation with
rest rest of mind with
joy like he says with joy shall you draw
water out of the Wares of
Salvation now there are certain
principles that you put to work over a
period of
time because you've got to test them and
become it's like your Fai
each one of us was given the measure of
faith for our salvation and that Measure
of Faith
small but it could move mountains but
it's not going to move Mountain on its
own it's you putting your faith to work
but you see each one of us that's why
there is Little Faith remember Jesus
said to the disciples at at a certain
time oh ye of little
faith so there's little
faith there's great
faith to the Centurion he says I've not
seen anyone with such great faith not in
Israel so there's little faith there's
great
faith then there is weak
faith and strong
faith
remember little faith great faith that
has to do with the quantity of Faith how
much Faith you increase the amount of
faith that you have through the word for
faith comes by
hearing and if you were death hearing
comes by the
word I'm not sure you got
that it says faith comes by hearing and
hearing by the word because when you are
death the word will give you hearing
did you know the scripture the word
that's given to us this word of the
Gospel is called the word of
hearing that's another talk it's called
a word of
hearing okay
now when you hear the word faith comes
to
you so you increase your faith the
disciples one time said to Jesus Master
increase our
Faith you see they're talking about how
much Faith because he said they had
little faith now this increase our faith
but to increase your faith you got to
hear the word the more of God's word you
hear the more faith you'll
have then there's the quality of
Faith weak
faith strong faith Abraham was not weak
in faith
the Bible tells us Romans chapter 4
remember but he was strong in faith says
being not weak in faith he considered
not his own body which means weak Faith
considers
circumstances that's weak
faith strong faith gives glory to God
for the Bible says but being strong in
faith he gave what glory to God now why
did I give you all
that
faith is the evidence of unseen
realities what does that mean I said all
the dollars you need all the rupees you
need all the money you need in this
world is in this
world but as long as you
think that the little change you got is
all you have and that amount in your
bank account is all you have you are
living in man's
system you are living according to
circumstances your faith is
weak being not weak in faith he
considered not his own body now dead
neither did he consider the deadness of
Sarah's
womb you see he's not considering oh you
know our country has a poor
economy the deadness of Sarah's
womb oh you know where we live our part
of the city is for poor
people are you considering the deadness
of Sarah's womb no child will come from
there if you are considering
that but he was strong in
faith giving glory to God how does he
give glory to God
Hebrews 13:15 look at how to give glory
to God you see it
there by him therefore let us offer what
the sacrifice of praise to God
continually that is the fruit of our
lips giving thanks to his name now
giving thanks to his name is uh is a um
uh a
verb hom
is not giving thanks it means making
confessions to his
name so it's translated giving thanks
here all right it's not wrong it's just
one of the ways to express that word but
in reality it means to make confessions
to his
name the fruit of our lips that means
words coming out of us making
confessions to his name that's giving
glory to God I declare in the name of
the Lord Jesus J Christ that I I'm
supplied with everything that I
require and money is coming to me by
free
course okay let me tell you the don't
say out
but how can I tell you not to say that
look at they're from
everywhere okay so I won't tell you
okaye
pleas you don't even know what it
is by him therefore let us offer the
sacrifice of praise to God how often
continually that is the fruit of our
lips giving thanks to his name you've
got to learn how to control money as
long as you think that money is not
coming to you enough of it is not coming
to you you are stopping it from coming
to you
you have to understand that money is
your
slave money was sent to serve you you
have to understand
that
and there's an angel of
money and he has his
work this is in the Bible
and I'm not talking about the
Mamon that people like to talk about
they think oh you
know M they say oh I don't want no money
please that's
Mammon don't worry about Mammon Mammon
was the Syrian God of
money that Jesus referred to all right
and he says you you you're not you can't
serve God and
Mama all right so that's not the one I'm
talking about but there's an angel
responsible for
money
and he works in your
behalf if you let
him did you know there are angels with
you all the time in your home they hear
you
the Bible tells us that the the wife she
have respect for her
husband and says because of the
Angels why because Angels hear
you they're in your home they hear the
things you
say and they are responsible to work in
your
behalf and if you're not saying the
right
things
Malachi that was not tongues that was um
I'm talking about a
book
Hallelujah amazing words amazing words
I want to read to you from chapter
3 now you know verse 10 very
well oh bring you all the
ties do you know that one very
well okay but I want to take you to
verse
six 18 no no no 16 then they that feared
the Lord they that feared the Lord spoke
often one to another remember in the Old
Testament talks about the fear of the
Lord but there it's referring to those
who had great Revere for God those who
trusted him all right so don't be moved
by the word fear they that fear the lord
spake often one to
another they speak often one to another
and what happened
and the Lord
hacken and heard it like he's hearing us
now he knows what I'm talking about he
hears me he's here when you're talking
in your home he hears you when you're
having a conversation he's listening in
look at it they speak often one to
another and the Lord hacken and heard it
and a book of remembrance was written
before him for them that fear the lord
and that thought upon his name
that book of remembrance is a book of
judgment not of judgment against
you but it's a book of
remembrance a book in which God
writes about the things that we said
about our
confessions and then what happens from
time to time that book is brought before
the
Lord It's a book of remembrance
and when it's brought before the
Lord things that happening in your
behalf that you didn't even think about
but they were based on your confessions
and the things that you were saying and
God was listening
in and now you are receiving rewards for
having thought upon his
name instead of saying well you
know we never can tell
whether the message of prosperity is
true or not if you're talking like that
you're not going to get
nothing but you're saying bless God I
have my needs
met praise God I walk in abundance in
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I walk
in abundance and then when God tells you
to
give you don't
say because if you we walking in
abundance you will give like a man that
works in
abundance see what I
mean so I can tell the difference what
you need is not whether to bring
something from the spirit realm into the
natur I said there are no dollars in the
spirit realm there are no dollars in the
spirit realm they are all here in this
world what you need is to act act like
you
talk okay you said God has blessed you
tremendously okay so what are you doing
about what's coming out of
you when you come to church how do you
give your
offering as a pastor how are you giving
to the work of the
Lord there are many pastors who don't
give
but many pastors who don't give they
don't give an
[Music]
offering they think it's the
congregation they're supposed to give
they don't give their
tithes they think it's the is the
congregation that should give tithes
they don't give their tithes they don't
give their offering they make pledges
and they don't
fulfill and the
pastors so they're going to have a
problem no
doubt it's not enough to preach
big
message you must act
it you must act
it so don't try to preach to get people
to give
money when you preach preach yourself to
[Applause]
give that's what you should
learn it's something you should learn
you know it's like um uh what I do I
tell you what I do what I
do
I I st up
myself in the
spirit to
give so I'm I'm I'm you know I'm
speaking and staring my spirit you know
like yeah what am I am I going to give
I'm excited I I I want to do something
all right I could be on the phone it
could be on the phone to someone at that
moment I'm staring myself in the Holy
Ghost you know I'm getting ready to give
because this is who we
are this is who we
are God didn't tell you to go on work to
get
it you he made it available before you
were
born when he created Adam and Eve did he
say to them now let's come and let's do
something about what you're going to
have no everything was ready first then
he made the man and the woman and had
them in the garden that was already
prepared for
them is that what the Bible
says so you are ready you were going to
say something invited them to his rest
oh I love it he said he invited them to
his rest that's
it that's it but if you're if you're not
experiencing Prosperity continually then
you are not thinking continually like he
wants you to think as a prosperous man a
prosperous man does prosperous
things how many times have you looked at
oh I want to give
the Bible says the eyes of the Lord r to
and through upon the Earth to show
himself strong on behalf of them whose
hearts are perfect toward him God's
looking for somebody to bless every day
he wants to bless
somebody imagine if you start thinking
like that imagine you go oh I'm going to
bless somebody
today and start thinking big lift your
vision lift your
vision you know we went for a
conference and while we
there the lot you know a lot of other
people
there and
then I said
uh uh we're going to give some money for
something and it's
huge a huge amount
I looked around all those who were going
to give who were joining me to give they
were all my
pastors I where is everybody
else why because they are they
all they've understood
it if I said okay now
want to give $5 million for
XYZ next you know I've got maybe four or
five of them jumping
up Pastor 1 million for me 1 million 1
million all 5 million taking all of them
are my
pastors everybody else has no chance to
even because they're waiting for when we
get to who will give 20,000 who will
give 5,000
if I start with that none of my pastors
going to stand up
then they're going to be waiting that
when I'm ready yeah yeah they're going
to be waiting when I'm ready for what
concerns them because the thing has to
be important enough for me to call their
attention yeah so when I see that as a
gentleman we need $10
million mhm
you
see that's how they like to think
because that's how they were
trained now they now they're thinking
yeah yeah
okay so put me in for that what if I say
gentlemen and ladies because there are
ladies among them too and I say
um we need $100,000 they're like and
you're talking to
us they get understand that I need
$100,000 and I'm is this why we are
here you know am I really
serious but it's something you practice
over a period of
time you see so you master the
word then these things don't look so big
to
you you get it it don't look so big to
you
they shouldn't look so big to
you stare
yourself say I'll stare myself I st
myself yeah stay
yourself get challenged about the things
of God because if you I I years ago when
I was you know just still
pastoring um
I still
pastor but
um okay
so it
was okay so I was
pastoring then I would say
Lord I
prefer to raise people with the
word to become
strong and financially
wealthy then some wealthy fellow come
from
somewhere and give me
money I said because when he or she
does the rewards and the blessings go
with
and I'm left to the
congregation
that's financially
weak so I want to train them raise them
to be Financial
Giants then praying to God to bring me
somebody that's got money
no I have a lot of people who want to
give me
money no you can't do what I'm doing for
this long without meeting people along
the
way do you understand what I'm saying
yes a whole lot of people want to give
me
money but you see I prefer it when
those
who are being raised by the word and
putting the word to
work has seen themselves growing
financially and becoming strong strong
financially because they know the word
produced it the different from the guy
who got money through some other
principle and now wants to bless the
house of
God do you know the difference pastors
you ought to know the
difference you know there's a huge
difference between the
two there a huge difference
then imagine if the
pastor becomes financially
wealthy imagine if the pastor
becomes then he doesn't have to
wait for people to gather before he does
any
project how many of you pastors here
started the church that you're pastoring
how many of
you now you know what I'm talking about
most most of the time when you start a
work like that most of the money is
coming from you as a
person most of the money is coming from
you at least at the
beginning you put in so
much that thing hasn't left you as you
continue to prosper you are still
putting more and more into the
ministry why wouldn't God want to bless
you he knows if he can get money into
your hands you are are going to use it
for the work of the ministry
am so that's what he wants to
do so do you want us to practice it you
want us to practice
it do you want us to practice
it you can have more money than you know
what to do with
it you believe you can have excess
money you see I can talk like that
because that's what happened to
me okay that's what
happened and
uh I found myself in God's
word I found that I was swimming in the
word and I found it was so easy to have
money by just calling
it don't think oh is because you're
Pastor Chris no don't think like that
think like remember remember remember
very
well
remember there's no man that was not a
boy there's no boy that was not a
child am I
correct I told you just now what I was
doing when I was 15 when you were 15
what were you
doing yeah when I was eight when I was
nine there are things I was doing
okay I started a
fellowship when I was 11 years old I was
the leader of the
fellowship every everyone that was a
member of the fellowship I led to Christ
myself I was 11 years
old what were you doing when you were
11 maybe you were holding a
crusade I don't know maybe but um these
are things that you practice over a
period of
time then you come to the point where
The Works of
power become normal to
you do you get
it they become normal to you you just
know that okay that's what we ought to
do that's what we ought to do you start
practicing with little things how do you
practice something is broken and you
repair it if you can't fix this you
can't cure cancer
consistently see what I
mean you use the
word something from
you maybe
it's supposed to be damaged you use your
word no it's whole it's
okay and by Your Word it's
okay the refrigerator is not working you
put your hand on it it starts working
you know you start practicing with those
little
things you start practicing you'll be
amazed then you something's missing and
then you call it into your
room I can give you examples of each one
of
these if I left something somewhere even
the market place in the
stadium it's only if I if it's not
important to me even when it's not
important to me it still happens how
much more when is important to me I call
it it will come to where I
am see you'll come to where I am so I
don't have that mentality of losing
things why because I got angels all with
me all the
time so you practice
this you practice this Christianity is a
is a life we're supposed to
live and that's the same thing you do
with
money that's what you do with
money whether it's in it's your account
in the bank or it's in cash or wherever
it
is you say it
practice it don't don't start with huge
figures that even you will be doubting
whether it's possible start with you
know
practice
practice let's suppose you you've been
you've been doing something at uh
say
50,000 Move
Yourself to 100 or 200,000
[Music]
practice
[Music]
it say I've been giving 50,000 for so
long in the name of the Lord Jesus I
want to give 200,000 at
once and once you say it minut it let
your spiritual antenna be up because
God's going to tell you something or
tell you what to do or something's going
to happen I I can't explain it it's
going to happen anyway
[Music]
but make yourself ready for
it so these are spiritual things it's
not anything that we need to bring it
from the spirit realm into the it's
something you do here now you you you
start practicing it
[Applause]
[Music]
now I could give you lots of
[Music]
examples so but make up your mind
you don't you don't want to be a broke
person no you don't want to be a broke
person that's not your life amen no
that's not your life you're not going to
you're not going to be at that
level you're past that level say in the
name of the Lord
Jesus I walk in prosperity
I listen Healing Ministry
without
money is
sickness I'm telling
you I'm telling you because if you have
a Healing Ministry and you don't have
money you become
sick are you might be doing a lot of
wrong things to get money and that means
you are really sick now
yeah because you you might do things
that you're not supposed to do just
because you want
[Applause]
money
see the first time I I try to get people
on uh on television those watching us on
television
to to participate in giving because it
was actually giving them an opportunity
to be a part of what we're doing all
right I didn't even know how to say
it I didn't know how to say it I had
this funny recording even while I was
still talking I knew I'm no way I'm not
going to play that no they're never
going to hear that because I couldn't
even say it out
right couldn't
form some years after I played for but
not now was just too funny
I don't know how to say
it
see because walking in the
Supernatural is the normal Christian
Life and he said that he will give us
that Grace such that we don't need any
support read it this in your
Bible he said he give us such Grace that
we don't need any support
so most of the time and I and and I'm
telling you this sincerely most of the
time if I even want to raise money for
anything I already have the money
myself
so whether someone gives or he doesn't
makes no difference to me I'm going to
do it anyhow
why because I already have the
money that's what happens with
me so and I suggest that to you because
if you if you have that Grace in your
life then you would never have a problem
thinking about who's giving and who's
not giving you it doesn't it doesn't
matter to you because you have what you
need for whatever you want to do you
have it in
abundance see think about Abraham who
was supporting
Abraham no tell
me who was supporting
Abraham but you are the Seed of
Abraham we have Partners all over the
world why because God wants to bless
them
every new partner is someone that God
has brought in because God wants to
bless him or her he's not doing it
because of me he's doing it because of
them because before they came I was
already doing what God asked me to do so
they came to join
me do you
understand we have raps of realities
Partners all around World okay but
before they became partners of rap study
rap stud was already
there correct they didn't come together
and say Pastor Chris we want you to do a
rap study of realities no they saw a rap
study of realities and became Partners
the healing School Partners became
partners of healing school because the
healing school was already
there they didn't come together to say
Pastor Chris we want you to do a healing
school so that we can be your partners
no I was doing it then they
came so always
remember the tree and its
fruits take care of the
tree and you have good
fruits but if you measure on the on the
fruits one day the tree will no
longer be able to produce good fruit
because the tree has been neglected
I don't know whether any Pastor is
hearing me but he what I just told you
the tree and the
fruit the tree is more important than
its fruits if you take care of the tree
the fruits will produce properly you'll
have good fruits but if now because
you're using the fruits for all the nice
sweet things so you focus on the fruits
and neglect the tree one day the tree
tree will no longer be able to produce
good fruits and what you've been getting
from the fruits will not be good enough
anymore so remember first things
first the most important things in your
life the word
prayer okay your study remember those
things remember them they are more
important than
money if you do the things you should do
the money will come if you pursue the
money then these things will
die and then finally to affect the
money that's why you have many pastors
today who were they used to have money
and they don't have
anymore because when they had God lost
them did you did you hear that when they
had money God lost them when they didn't
have money God had them they were always
praying but when they had money God lost
them they had friends they had people to
meet with
