The Seed Misconception (Part 3)

*Matthew 7:20, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall  know them."* (KJV)

One of the greatest achievements for anybody that is following God is knowing the voice of God. You know the voice of God by understanding the character of God. One of the most outstanding characteristics of false prophets is *blackmail*.
Our God is a loving God, and even when He rebukes, He does so with a lot of love. But Jesus said, "a hired servant who merely serves for wages, is *neither a shepherd or the sheep owner...*"
These are the two major things you need to look at before you decide to drop your seed into any prophet's hand. The problem with many people is that they focus on miracles more than they focus on the character of the minister.
Someone told me that "a man of God" took her to Mombasa, they were not married and of course they did not go there site-seeing the hotel rooms. The same man took her money and will not pay it back. When she decided to expose him, the man went for a forty days fasting, for her to die. And the man rallied the congregation under him to pray for the lady to die. Now, the sad thing is that the lady (until we had talked) lived in fear, because the whole congregation under this man has been blackmailed to believe that no one gets out of his hands and lives. They have been told, and probably given examples that if you dare go against this man, you will die. Therefore, the man exploits them materially, sexually,  physically and emotionally and every other possible way because they are bound by fear.
Such a man as this is a hired servant that has no value for the sheep. Because he neither owns the sheep, nor is he a shepherd... he just works for the wages.
God does not blackmail you into doing what He wants, instead, God gives you information and educates you so that you may choose for yourself what exactly you want.
Beware of people that only tell you only one side of the story, these are not prophets, they are wolves in sheep skin. People who call themselves men of God, but you can almost predict what they will be saying next week. People who only tell you how the world is ending. Or their line of story is only how everybody is against you. People whose work is to always make you look like the helpless victim. They do not remind you that you have a Mighty God by your side, and thousands upon thousands of fiery chariots guarding you. They only tell you how you need to buy more protection by giving a certain sacrifice... beware of these people.
People that all they do is make you feel good about yourself. They don't illuminate your mind on how you can make it, but they keep telling you that you will make it. People that do not want you to work, but keep telling you that you will be rich soon. People that make you feel like saying "amen" is all you've got to do. Beware of these people.
Anybody that wants you to feel like you can buy things from God. People that make you feel like you got what you got from God because you earned it. People that make you give testimonies like, "Because of what I did, God did this..." Beware of these people.
Beware of any "man of God" that makes you feel that you cannot do without him. Any man that makes you feel that without his prayers you are doomed, any person that makes you feel you can never pray enough for yourself. Any person that makes you feel like they have a unique relationship with God that *you will never achieve*... beware of these wolves.
But these are the marks of people that should receive your seed.
A man that is always after your spiritual independence. A man of God that teaches you of how powerful you are. A man of God that strives to make sure that you become better than they are. Even Jesus, who was God in every sense, because He was such a man, could afford to tell us, "those who believe in me, the things I do they shall do, and more than these things I do, shall they do too." Imagine God telling you, that you can do greater things than He did!
A man that does not have the Spirit of Christ in themselves are very selfish. They turn themselves into demigods and their word becomes law. Masses are hoodwinked by a few miraculous signs, forgetting that even the devil can do miracles.
They lead people by instilling fear and not faith. If you fear of what will befall you physically if you left your congregation, you are most probably following a false prophet.
A true prophet empowers his followers preparing them to leave his nest one day ... and the sooner they leave the better.
But if you have a prophet that all they want is to keep you around and to keep you coming, you are most probably following a false prophet.
A true prophet is not happy about leading a congregation of thousands, but when the people he leads are getting out and creating schools of their own to teach what the prophet taught them.
*You shall know them by their fruits*, these are the fruits of a true follower of Jesus Christ.
They don't go around calling themselves the mightiest, they go around making people the mighty. When David was running away from king Saul, the bible says that everybody that was in debt, everybody that was in distress, everybody that was in trouble, came to him and they made him their captain. Towards the end of King David's life, these same men are recorded both in second Samuel and in Chronicles as "the mighty men of David". David did not go around calling himself the mightiest prophet of God, but he moved heaven and earth to make mighty men out of the rejects of the society.
I am still a young preacher, and I can tell you for sure that many people who have rallied around me and who are calling me their priest, are people that are in the state that was with the people that came around David. People with a desire to serve God but have no resources to do so. *My greatest joy* will be that when my end has come, I will look back and see all the millionaires I made out of beggars, all the employers I made out the jobless, all the marriages I made out of the broken hearts, *I hope that before I die, God will give me a chance to compile my book of my mighty men!* People that I once met distressed, but through this young boy, they received their Joy of life.
I already have a list of a few; three women so far who have children they couldn't have, two girls that had skin diseases, one in Kenya  (a neighbour) and another in South Africa.... And the list of my mighty men is building up.
My prayer is that you who is reading this will also find a spot in my book of my mighty men. I do not know what you are going through, but if you connect with this anointing, *Because connection is a preliquisite requirement*, then you will be one of the fruits through which I shall be know. *You shall know them by their fruits.* Let's continue this tomorrow.
Shalom and keep the faith.

The Seed Misconception (Part 2)

*"Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall  know them."* (KJV)

Every fruit comes bearing in itself a seed. Galatians 5 verses 22, speaks of *the fruit* of the Holy Spirit or in other words, the *spiritual fruit*. And I always remind you to note that the bible does not call it, *the fruits of the Holy Spirit* as many think, instead it is called *the fruit (one/singular) fruit of the Holy Spirit.*
Therefore, Paul through the unfathomable wisdom of God says, " But the fruit of the Spirit is  love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,  goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:  against such there is no law."
Yesterday, we said that the man of God must first be able to give spiritual fruit to you, by so doing, and from the fruit he gives you you get a seed that produces physical fruit and from the physical fruit you can be able to get a physical seed which you can sow into the life of the man of God.
Paul says in 2 Corinthians 9:10, "Now he that *ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food,* and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)"
He says that God, through the men of God is supposed to give you (spiritual) food to eat and a (spiritual) seed. And if you sow the spiritual seed He has given you through the man of God, He will multiply it and increase the fruits of your righteousness.
Righteousness is the ability to be right with God. When you are right with God, there are things that are evident and one of them is *prosperity*. Your ability to possess and position yourself is increased immensely.
My point is, you cannot give a physical seed and expect to prosper if the spiritual seed given to you in the first place was not sown and multiplied to increase your fruits of righteousness.
People have been frustrated because they give at every altar, and to every prophet that speaks with charisma. I am told that nowadays there is even "the preachers voice", where you have to strain your voice in a certain particular way to prove that God is talking through you.
*Any ways, what exactly is a seed?* How do we differentiate it from other forms of giving?
There are different forms of giving in the church and all of them are seeds in their own respect.
But sowing a seed *is giving from revelation and prophetically.* It is not giving to God so that He may do something, because this is where many people go wrong; and many preachers have "mispreached" this message; it is however thanking God in advance for the great things that He will do. It is not a trial and error, it is a prophetic confirmation of what you have already seen in the future prophetically.
The misconception is that people plant and wait to see, but you are supposed to see first prophetically and then sow a seed towards what you have seen.
Jesus said, "Blessed are those who believe, even before they see physically". Paul comes on and says, "Faith *is the substance* of things hoped for and an *evidence* of things not seen.
One way to interpret this is that, showing faith is the ability to produce a substance or a portion of what you hope for and to show the evidence of that what cannot be seen exists. In fewer words, faith is a seed or faith is more evidently embedded in a seed.
A seed is a unit of the harvest, it is the smallest building block of a building that is called harvest. Therefore, you do not give a seed to try and see what will happen, you sow a seed, because you have already seen what the future holds. Hence, you are now bringing a seed to show us the substance of what you hope for and to give us the evidence of what you have seen that we ourselves have not seen.
This is the main difference between a seed and other forms of giving in the church. Other forms of giving come after the harvest, but a seed prophesies of a bountiful harvest ahead.
Therefore brethren, do not go dropping money all over calling them seeds, unless you are first convinced by the Holy Spirit of the harvest to come.
Many Christians sow seeds, not because they believed in the harvest, but because the preacher man told them to do it and see. Therefore, theirs is a trial and error and not faith. *And anything done without faith, is sin.* They therefore sin, in the name of sowing a seed and expect returns.
But I want to raise a new generation of Christians,  who can listen to a sermon and sense a harvest from a far, they can prophetically see that God is about to do a great thing. And from that revelation, they raise up even without being told by anybody and plant a seed, as an evidence of what they have foreseen and as a substance of what they hope for.
This is what a wise Christian does. They conceive an idea, they foresee how great the idea will become when actualized, from that prophetic foresight, they pick a substance of that hope and convert it into evidence and plant it as as seed.
As I finish, let me say that, *the revelation behind a seed is that, "Whatever does not grow is inanimate".* Inanimate objects can only be added up, but live objects are multiplied. Two plus three is five, but two multiplied by three is six. If your two is inanimate,  you have to work harder for it to become great, but if you animate your two, then your job will be simply to multiply and forge a head.
Jesus said, "unless a seed agrees to fall on the ground and die, it remains alone. But if it falls down and is crushed, then it has power to produce more than itself."
Let us pick up from here tomorrow.
Shalom and keep the faith.

The Seed Of Misconception

*Matthew 7:20, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."* (KJV)

Yesterday, I dealt with about four cases of four different people who are being told that they have to give a certain amount of money for God to change their state or status and situation. I dealt with three through my inbox and one through my WhatsApp group called *"Ask Pastor Nesh"*.
The revelation of sowing and harvesting also called sowing and reaping is real, true, authentic and inevitable in life. That point we must agree and come to terms with. Everything you are today is courtesy of a seed you planted yesterday. And what you will be tomorrow, is courtesy of the seed you will sow today. That is not debatable and it is unavoidable.
And as I always say, *whatever happens physically has its origin in the spiritual realm.*
This is why Paul says, that, the work of the men of God is to sow spiritual seeds unto your spirits, while those who receive these seeds, their work is to sow physical seeds into the lives of the men of God (1 Cor 9:11). This is so because, the spiritual seed I sow into you, is supposed to empower you and catapult you into producing physical fruits. It is these physical fruits that you are supposed to share with the man of God as a seed.
Because *every fruit comes bearing in itself a seed*. You therefore cannot be able to give a seed, unless you first had a fruit.
Jesus said, "Beware of the wolves who come in sheep's clothing; *you shall know them by their fruits*".
The relationship between a man of God and a congregation or the receiver of the word is supposed to be like that one of a man and his wife. This is why Paul says that if you can faithfully, without being forced, celibate to serve God, the better. Because, serving God and marriage have so much in common that being married and serving God is like having two wives. This is also one of the reasons why it is recommended that servants of God be husbands of *one wife*, because they already have another wife in the name of the church!
A husband can only get from his wife, what he himself gave her first. A woman was created to respond. She was made a little bit softer, with more emotions and feeling and also with a womb. Even in sex, the woman enjoys all through, or should enjoy all through, but a man enjoys at the tail end only after the woman has reached her climax. And the man's enjoyment is at most about between 5 and three minutes to even a few seconds of the whole ordeal. But the satisfaction of a man comes from seeing his woman receiving everything with joy. This is why many women have chased men from their beds without knowing because they don't respond back. They lay there like a log and wait for the man to finish. Hence, the man's Joy is cut off and he always comes in wondering when He will reach to the tail end. Then, women start saying that her man finishes fast or is cold. And then the man will go out looking for a woman that can respond back to what he does. And out there you will hear stories of how great this man is from other women, but in His house the woman wonders what could be wrong.
I am saying all this to tell you that a man of God cannot ask the church to give him what he himself has not given the church!
*I don't ask for an offering*, instead, I want my God to manifest to you so much so that you will feel obliged or obligated to offer on His altar. I therefore continually sow into you these spiritual seeds, until these seeds have given you the ability to bear physical fruits and because every fruit comes bearing a seed, from your physical fruits you will be able to get a physical seed which you can sow into my life.
Anybody that tells you to plant a seed, when you have not yet produced fruits is telling you to be a thief. Because, from where will you get the seed, whereas we all know that a seed comes from the fruit. *You shall know them by their fruits.*
True prophets are known by one, the fruits they give you to eat and two by the fruits they have caused you to produce.
So far, I have prayed with three women, who at first could not get children and now they will experience the joy of having a child. One of the boys is about three years old not. The other child will be born early or mid April this year and the third one will be born some time late this year. These three women, can say they have seen the produce of the spiritual seed I have sown in them. Which has caused them to produce physical fruits. From the physical fruits through God's guidance we can get a physical seed.
Paul says that let every man *decide in his heart* what they should give. God has never demanded a specific amount of offering from anybody. Anybody that gave to God, gave out of their own volition. *Even the tithe, the so called TEN PER CENT, when Abraham met Jesus, who was then going in the name of Melchizedeck, he decided by himself, to give God ten per cent.*
Even when God asked for Isaac, he never took him, He provided for Himself a lamb for sacrifice.
My people perish because they lack knowledge. And many people are losing money in church, because they lack knowledge of HOW GOD OPERATES! *God may tell you to sacrifice, but He will never determine the amount of what you are suppose to sacrifice.* All He specifies is that the sacrifice should be without blemish, but it is upon you to decide whether you will sacrifice a heifer or a lamb or a dove. Because one will give a million dollars and it will not be a sacrifice to them, another will give a cent and it will be a great sacrifice from them.
God does not bless you or hear you according to your giving. God hears you because of the condition of your heart. Many preachers I a sorry to say, have turned God into a corrupt judge, who decides cases according to how much you give. A preacher will stand and give classes of how people should give. Those who give thousands will be anointed with oil, those who give hundreds will have a couple of words spoken over them, those who give tens will just be told to drop it and go! *I am here to say that this is not Jehovah the great I AM.*
YAHWEH is not moved by sacrifices, but by a contrite broken spirit. No amount of sacrifices can move God to your favor, what you are giving to Him, already is His. It is like when my son takes a note from me and buys me a cake with it. He thinks it is him that has bought me the cake, but in the real sense, I have just bought myself a cake, only through him.
Therefore, seed time and harvest have been misconceived. I know many men of God will fight this message I am preaching today,  but you will be surprised that even the congregation will fight it even more fiercely.
Why?
Because we want a god we can buy!
We want a god who if we give Him a few coins will tilt the judgement to our favor. And we want preachers who tell us that this is actually possible. This is why this message is very popular in congregations. People want a god that can fit in  bottle of "holy oil" or "holy water", a god they can sprinkle in their houses to cast out demons. People want a god that can hang on a broom, they will buy the broom and sweep demons out of their houses. People want a god that can be framed and hang as a portrait on their walls and gates. Yes, and I also heard that the stones that killed goliath are on sale too. All you need is to buy one and throw it like David in the direction of your enemies... they will all die.
We have become so fascinated with the death of our so called enemies that we have forgotten to preach unto them that they can live and not just live but have life in abundance. Instead, we have joined the camp that steals, kills and destroys.
 Giving a seed, must be preceded by receiving a fruit or producing a fruit. *If you receive a fruit from me*, then you are obliged or obligated to give me a seed or to plant a seed into me. I mean this, there are obviously people that do not read this, or listen to the audios I send, they are excused, but if you are one of the people that believes that God speaks through me to you. That every time you read these broadcasts you hear God and feel energised,  then, when you rich heaven, you will be asked to give an account of the physical seeds you sowed into me. If the answer is "Nothing" then you will receive "nothing" as your harvest.
When you plant nothing, you harvest nothing, when you plant something, you reap something; whatever a man soweth, the same shall they reap.
Let us pick up from here tomorrow... tighten your seat belts... it's gonna be a bumpy ride. But in the end at least one person will be delivered from being manipulated by wolves in sheep skin.
Shalom and keep the faith.

The Power Of Caring Less

*Isaiah 26:3, "Thou wilt  keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."* (KJV)

*Worry* is not equal to lack of faith. Even people that have faith worry at times. But worry can lead to faithlessness. Sometimes when you tell people you are worried about a situation, some translate it to lacking faith, but it is not so. Worry are caused by human calculations and deadlines.
Sometimes, you believe God will provide, but you are worried if He will beat the deadline. Sometimes, you believe God will heal you, but you keep wondering when He will do it. Some ladies believe God will give them a perfect husband, but keep asking themselves when and where that guy will come from.
This should not be translated to as lacking faith, but rather as worry or anxiety in other words also known as *"cares"*.
We cannot completely do away with cares, but we can always suppress them to the minimum. When Jesus was sleeping in a boat that was in trouble, Peter asked Him, " *carest thou not* if we perish?" Jesus *did not say or reply *"I don't care"*, He asked them, "Where is your faith?"
In other words, He also cared, He also was worried, the only difference between Him and them was where His faith was.
He had already told them that we are going over to the other side. His faith was in those words, that it will not matter what opposition they meet along the way, the fact of the matter was that they will reach their destination. Jesus did not calm the storm because it would have hindered them from reaching their destination, He calmed the storm so that His disciples' minds can concentrate more on the mission.
If you can concentrate more on God than on the storm, God does not need to calm the storm for you.
The day Peter walked on water, the sequence of the events will amaze you.
First, Jesus tells them to go over before Him, He would meet them there. Please note that He assured them that He would meet them on the other side. But along the journey a storm ensues. Then Jesus decides to keep His promise of *meeting them there*.
The Bible says, "He was walking on water *and was almost passing them**. These guys were struggling to keep the boat afloat and *Jesus was almost passing them!* He was not considering helping them!
Why so?
Because the storms would not have stopped His promise of *meeting them there* from coming to pass. The only thing that made Him stop was that now, they were more worried about "a ghost" walking on water than they were worried about the storm that was almost capsizing their boat. Do you see how fast humans shift their cares? Just a few minutes ago they were worried that they will drown, now they were worried of what "a ghost" can do to them let alone drowning!
Check this out. Jesus did not stop to stop the storm, He stopped because He didn't like being called a ghost, hahaha. Yeah, He stopped to tell them to stop calling Him a ghost. And He would have gone on with His journey walking on water, *without calming the storm*, were it not that Peter stubbornly wanted to prove a point!
So, Jesus lingers a little bit more to help Peter prove his point. Please don't forget that the storm is still on, please don't lose that point, it is very important.
Peter steps out to prove his point, in the midst of proving it, he remembers the storm! The moment he remembered the storm and re-looked at it, he started sinking. He called on unto Jesus and was saved from drowning. *Still! Jesus did not calm the storm!*
Because the storm could not stop Peter from walking on water. Actually, I always tell people that, *Peter WAS NOT WALKING ON WATER, Peter was walking on the word of Jesus.*
Jesus said to the devil, *"one word from God can take you through your whole life"*. Jesus just said to Peter, "come". And on that word, Peter walked. His faith was on the word "come". When He started sinking, Jesus held his hand, his faith shifted from the word "come" to the Word Himself. Hallelujah! So, He came back to the board,  still walking on the the Word. He got out of the boat walking on *a word*, he came back to the boat walking *on the Word.*
Up till this time, the storm is still on. But by this time, the focus of the disciples was more on Jesus and Peter than it was on the stormy sea. Now that Jesus was no longer meeting them over there and had already met them here mid way, there was no need to let the storm keep bragging, so, He commanded the storm to either shape up or shape out; the storm decided to shape up instead.
The greatest question when you are going through a storm is, "Where is your faith?" The moment you locate your faith, you don't even need to calm the storm, you can just sleep.
You need to have faith that no amount of storm can stop the word of God from coming to pass. Paul when being transported to face judgement or trial, stood on the word that God had spoken through His prophet, that he will stand trial. Therefore, not even a ship wreck could stop the word of God from coming to pass, no amount of snake poison could kill him before the word had come to pass.
When  you know what God has said, *you don't become careless, but you just care less.*
See the word "care less". I said we cannot completely extinct cares, but we can suppress them, in other words, we can care less.
Nothing gives me more confidence than knowing what God has spoken. Because, I know, if He said I will witness it, nothing will stop me from witnessing it.
And He shall keep my mind in perfect peace, if I remain steadfast in Him.
We don't calm the storms because they might stop us from reaching our destination, we calm the storms because they are a nuisance.
This is something that faith has taught me: *the storm will only cease, when you start understanding that it has no power over your destiny.* In other words, storms cease, when you find your peace in them. Storms get bored and move away when you stop giving them attention. Storms calm down when you ignore them and care less about them. And you suppress your cares by locating your faith. *Where is your faith?*
Shalom and keep the faith.

How To Keep It Flowing

*2 Kings 4:6, "And it came to pass, when  the vessels were full, that she said unto her son,  Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her,  There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed."* (KJV)

As long as there is still an empty vessel, the oil will keep flowing. Many people have called me a genius and many think that I have a lot in me. But I have discovered that God has this amazing tendency to work with little things.
I would like you to note that the woman in the scripture we have read told the man of God that "all I have is a little oil". The little oil did not increase miraculously, the little oil still remained little, but, it's littleness did not hinder it from filling all the big vessels.
Many people wait until one day they will have a massive word, so that they can preach. If your pastor tells you, "you will preach in the next meeting", you either complain you don't have what to say or you go searching for a mega word.
But what God wants us to do is for us to hand Him our lunch box, and He will feed thousands from that lunch box.
People struggle with preaching and making sermons because they are busy looking for new ideas and new revelations and great wordings. But what actually God wants you to share is what you have been eating all along.
Jesus did not order for a new menu in the wilderness, He used that which the boy was eating . Remember they had been there for three days already. Everybody was hungry except the boy. He had eaten and even had some left overs. It is these left overs that Jesus multiplied to feed the over five thousand people.
*The way up to becoming the mouthpiece, is by first becoming the earpiece.* The *faith* to speak, *comes by hearing and the hearing* ability, comes *from the word of God.*
If you cannot hear what God is saying, then you can never have the faith to speak. The hearing ability does not come by default, it is cultivated through the word of God. This means that the more you are in the vicinity of the word, the more you will develop an ability to hear God, the more you hear God, the more you get faith to speak.
Many preachers use anointing to show off. But the main purpose of being anointed is for you to pass it on. As soon as you discover you are anointed, the next step should be to make disciples. It is unto these disciples that you will pass on what you have.
This is why kingdoms were hereditary. So that the Father can pass to the son what he got. We have been called into the family of kings. This is why Jesus is the King of kings and the LORD of lords.
Jesus at the start of His ministry said, "The Spirit of LORD is upon me, *He has anointed me..."* later on He says, "Everything I have received from the Father (the anointing), I have given also unto you..."
The relationship between Jesus and the church is likened to the relationship between Elijah and Elisha. This is why Jesus is called Christ whereas we are called Christians. This is also why Jesus rightly tells us, "The things I do shall you also do, but even more than I do shall you also do"; which reflects to how Elisha received a double portion anointing from Elijah and did twice as many miracles as Elijah had done. But the problem with Elisha is that he did not have a person to pass on the anointing to. Gehazi who was the heir apparent was a corrupt dude, but if the heir apparent is corrupt like Esau, then Isaac should have no problem blessing Jacob in his stead.
The reason why men of God fade out is because they have ran out of vessels to fill and they have closed the door that would bring in more vessels. Elisha told the woman whose hubby had died and left her in debt, go into the house, Bring on the vessels *and close the door.*
This closing of the door is what set the limit. I believe there were more vessels in the city, but as long as the door was closed, no other vessel would come in. I believe that had the door been opened, then the boys would run out with the filled vessel, empty it any how, either by selling or into a bigger basin and bring it back for refilling. But that would not happen now, because the door was closed.
Many men of God have brought in the vessels and they have closed the door. No vessel can come in and no vessel can go out. Hence, after every vessel is full, the flow will stop.
But this is not the desire of our God. God wants us to keep the door open and let the boys get busy. Every vessel that is filled should be emptied as fast as possible and brought back for a more refill!
Men of God are threatened when they see their protégés running about speaking what they have taught them. Some even shut them up and in the bid to do so, even congregations split. Then, the fathers start cursing the sons. This is not supposed to be so. After a son is filled to the brim, he is supposed to be let of to empty himself and then come back for a refill.
Do not just be happy to see yourself leading a congregation of thousands, be happy when even the few you have are walking off to start ministries.
A man who leads a fifty people congregation but which has given birth to ten ministries is better of than a person leading a 5,000 seater congregation that has born not even a single ministry.
I wish fathers would embrace this, that as soon as a son declares his will to move out, they will support them. So, far I have served under more than five men of God, faithfully, and at the start I even agreed with one that, I am just under him until I am fully filled. And he promised the heavens and the earth. But the moment I gave him my 9 months notice, every thing changed. I was no longer the favorite son. And the promise to support me was withdrawn. And the sermons that he started preaching were always how he himself struggled to make it, hence no one should expect his making it to be easy.
There is a saying in my tribe that says, "an old man can see further while seated, than an young boy standing on the top of a tree". But I want to encourage the old men, to let the boys stand on their shoulders instead of standing on trees and let the boys while at it, use the spectacles they are using to see further.
Because *the only way I will see a FATHER in you, is if you can help me see FURTHER through you.*
Do not hold your son's captives. Actually, encourage them to move out. Give deadlines to those who look like they are not thinking of jumping off the nest. Because their staying with you after they are already full, is a threat to your flow. It might soon stop ... God forbid.
Shalom and keep the faith.

Spiritual Poverty (Epilogue)

*Matthew 5:3, "Blessed  are the poor in  spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."* (KJV)

We need to understand that Jesus became poor so that we may be rich. And the desire of our God is that we may prosper and be in health, even as our soul (spirits) prosper. Therefore, being poor in the spirit, does not literally mean being poor, it means *taking up a mentality and a position of humility* and counting all things as nothing for the sake of Christ.
It is the ability *to untag material gains from the indications of the presence or the absence of God in your life.* Many people want to connote that if you lack, then it means you don't have God. Others believe that if you are rich, it must be not from God and it may hinder you from entering heaven. But we need to untag these two and look at the attitude of the heart towards losing and gaining.
Paul says, "To die is a gain and if I live in ought to bear fruits." And this is the attitude of a spiritually poor person. That no matter what happens, you must take up an attitude that says, *"I NEVER LOSE"*.
I have talked to many people who are in need and I have also approached many people myself being in need, I have also met hostile people here online and I have also met very nice people here online, but there is one thing that those who know me will tell you, that there are three words that never lack in my mouth or speech, *"IT IS WELL".*
And I don't just say it with my mouth to fill up the day, I have convinced every fibre of my being that no matter what happens, nothing will ever trip my balance. It doesn't matter who leaves my life or who comes in to my life, it is well. I am deeply convinced that *All things happen because they are working together for my good.* Even that person that abuses me online, they do so because they have been commanded to do so for my good.
Imagine if I was preaching and everybody is saying "Amen" and "well done". Pride would be inevitable and with pride I wouldn't see heaven. But I love it when some people tell me, "you are wasting your time", "I don't even read what you send", "Don't send this to my wife, she's falling for you". It shows me that I still have a long way to go, I am not yet even near the finish line. I know that one of those that reject this might share it with a friend in a bid to caution them against me, but instead their friends get interested and request me to be sending this to them instead.
Being poor in the spirit is not literally lacking but having a perpetually spacious spirit. Where there is always a space for one more thing from God. A spirit that is ready *spend and be spent for the sake of the gospel.*
Most people nowadays give so that they may be blessed. Even preachers are telling you that if you give, that will guarantee your having. *Of course I agree that God is a debtor to no one*, but I am praying that God may help me and others who have a similar Spirit to raise up a generation that gives not to indebt God but because they love God. People who when God says, "I will pay you back as soon as I can", can be able to tell him, "Ah! Don't mind. That was just for our friendship's sake".
Would you rather God calls you His lender or His friend?
All you need to look is how you view your lenders, and you will understand why many people give in church and they are not as Blessed as they wish to be blessed. They give as lenders, the only thing is that they do not specify their interest rates! But deep in their hearts they expect that God will pay them double or triple of what they gave him.
These are the kinds that are poor physically, and may be even poor spiritually, but they have taken up an attitude of the rich shaylock. They are the kind that Jesus took a whip and drove out of the church, they are the money changers in church. And the pastors have become the bell ringers who proclaim when the best season has come to exchange you dollar with God. They stand on the pulpit and tell you what the dollar is up against the heavenly currency. They tell you how much you might get back if you invest during the open window. And people flock these sanctuaries and those who have nothing to lend to God go home downcast!
But this is not the people I wanted to bring up with this series, I wanted to raise up a sleeping generation of people who feel inferior to lend to God. People who feel they don't have the audacity to demand that God pays back what they gave in church. Because if they calculate it against what God has done for them, it is a drop in the ocean.
I wanted to say this, there is a young rich man we mentioned when we were starting this series. He came to Jesus and told Him of how good he was at obeying the law. Then Jesus told him, "OK, now go and sell everything, give all you get to the poor, then come follow me." The bible says, that the young man went home very downcast because he was very rich. Spiritual poverty is the ability to loosely hold onto what you have already acquired so that you may hold on tightly onto God. It is the ability to differentiate between the goodness of having everything and the advantage of having the source of everything.
Some one told me that, if you take what the richest man in the world has, and give it to the poorest man in the world, then give them a space of five years, most probably, the richest man in the world will still be better off than the now materially rich poor man.
Many people keep asking me about betting and they ask me what is wrong with betting. Well, one of the wrong things with betting is this, that even if you win, you only get the flow but you don't get the source. You end up like the poorest man in the world who was given what the rich men of the world have. No wonder rich men don't win lotteries. Because *what makes you rich is not having, what makes you rich is having the source.*
And this is what Solomon pointed out when he said, "Some scatter, yet they wax rich; others withhold, yet they die in poverty." When you have the source, you don't fear giving, but if you are just but the owner of the stream, you are always scared that the stream may dry up.
Jesus said, "let your hearts not be troubled, you believe in God, believe in me also."
And this is the same message I will leave you with from this series, *Get God, and relax.* Because with God, you have all in all. Seek ye first the Kingdom and His righteousness, then everything else, will be added to you. But if you seek everything else first, they will not add God to you. Being spiritually poor is seeking God above all things, then letting all the other things be an addition. And one more advice, *don't get too attached*, hold everything loosely, but hold on to God tightly. Be ready to lose anything ... yeah, even everything, but be ready to die for God. *That is SPIRITUAL POVERTY.*
Shalom and keep the faith.

Spiritual Poverty (Part 9)

*Matthew 5:3, "Blessed  are the poor in  spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."* (KJV)

We started on this series about 12 days ago and our aim was to really understand what Jesus really meant when He said that *a spiritually poor person is to be preferred over others for the kingdom of God.* And just to recapture, we started by defining poverty as an inability to access the four basic needs with ease. Where we said that, just like we have four physical basic needs, we also have four spiritual basic needs.
The clothes which we called righteousness,  the food which we called the word of God, the shelter which we called the house of God and now we are right about wrapping it up with spiritual education.
Amongst the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit there is one which is called *the gift of wisdom*. It is a God given ability to speak what you are needed to say, when you are needed to say it and where you are needed to say it. It is not to be confused with *the gift of knowledge*, which is a God given access to privy information concerning a matter or a person or a situation. But these two should be used hand in hand.
For instance, if you really are sailing in the gift of knowledge, which many confuse with the gift of prophesy, just because you know privy information about someone, doesn't necessarily mean you go exposing them.
If for example, the Holy Spirit reveals to you that there is a woman in the congregation who has an issue with or in her private parts. That is not prophesy, it is a gift of knowledge and wisdom will tell you that you do not need to embarrass her to the rest of the congregation.
When Jesus healed the woman with an issue of blood, it is the writers of the story that tell us what was going on in her life. But all Jesus said was, "Someone touched me" and demanded to know who it was. But He did not go exposing everything to everybody.
But demons of showbiz have invaded those with the gift of knowledge. And so as to prove and show the world the power they possess, they find themselves exposing the most embarrassing things about people, and while the bearer of the problem may be healed physically, emotionally and socially they are left crushed.
We need therefore, to agree to sit down and be educated. We need to keep learning and to understand that there is no end to learning. *Poverty is all about insufficiency*, and we need to know that there is no one particular moment that you will have sufficient education. After elementary level certificate, there is ordinary level certificate, after that there is still advanced level certificate, after that there are diplomas, which are also graded in degrees, masters and PhDs. And no one is so learned that they need education no more.
A person was asking me yesterday why I am teaching about poverty, when I am supposed to be teaching about prosperity. He told me he doesn't believe in poverty and doesn't want to hear about it. So *he kindly requested* me to exempt him from my poverty lectures. But I told him that if he had not dismissed the series bases on the title, he would have understood what I am really discussing. I tried to reason but he adamantly said, "As long as I am talking about poverty, he doesn't care what else I am talking about". My point is, *I am not teaching you to be poor*, at least not physically and at most not spiritually.
We said, *Poverty is a mentality*, I want you to be rich, both physically and spiritually, but still be able to remain as humble as a poor person spiritually.
In that even if you have the wisdom of King Solomon, you can still humble yourself to be taught by a child like Nesh here. Even if you are the best at keeping law, you can still accept the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ to cover you. Even if you are the greatest philanthropist in the world, you can still accept the free gift of God which is eternal life.
When Jesus says, "Blessed are the poor" He knew we will come to define poverty. It is about a mind set, a mind system, a way of thinking that humbles you even though you might be the greatest.
Naaman even though he was the greatest in Syria had to humble himself and take a bath in the dirty waters of river Jordan. And through that, he was healed of leprosy. This is why we need education and to be educated on spiritual matters, to understand that *it is not by power, nor by might, but by the Spirit of God that we prevail.* Some trust in chariots and still fail, others trust in horses and still fail, but when you trust in God you never fail.
Spiritual education will teach you that, saying you trust in the LORD does not mean that you do not have chariots and horses, it only means that you don't draw your confidence of winning the fight from them horses and chariots.
Spiritual education will teach you to get the diplomas, but when you go for interviews, your confidence will be anchored more on God than on the diplomas!
Spiritual education will teach you to get yourself a car, but it will also teach you to always trust in God not in your car, to reach your destination.
Spiritual education will teach you to build a good, magnificent house, but to trust in God to make it a home.
Spiritual education will give you the charm to lure girls right, left and centre, but also teach you that a good wife comes from the LORD.
There is no end to education, no one is the best in it, even the highest in it can be taught by the lowest in it. I have been quoted as saying, *"Even a mad man speaks sense once in a while, it is what they speak after the sense that tells you their senses may be corrupted."*
Even the Bible has proven to us that a donkey can see what a prophet could not see. Balaam could not see the Angel of the LORD, but his donkey saw Him. And you know, and or if you don't I am telling you now, whenever and wherever you see *"the Angel of the LORD"* written in the bible, that phrase represents Jesus Christ. In the old testament, Jesus appeared to people, but to distinguish Him from other angels, the writers recorded His appearances by calling Him "the angel of the LORD", instead of just saying "an angel" or "the angel". That was a side-dish, my point is, even stones can praise God if and when humans refuse to do so.
In Kenya we have a few artist that call themselves gospel artists to the dismay of even non-believers. But I am not dismayed, because if the right people who are supposed to worship are not worshipping, God will raise for Himself stones to praise Him. Do not dismiss a stone after God has risen it to praise Him! Stop hitting a donkey that can see what you as a prophet cannot see! Instead, humble yourself and be educated.
Tomorrow we wind up this sweet topic, as usual, not because I am out of materials to write, but mainly because the spirit of a prophet is always under the control of the prophet, hence I decide where I start and where I end. Hahahaha.
Shalom and keep the faith.
