Financial Liberation


Laws & Principles

Human Factors

Divine Intervention

The Help of God

Orientation
1. It is the will of God for you to prosper
2. Financial prosperity is the blessings that come with loving God. Job 36; If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.
3. You can have abundant financial resources without knowing or loving God, but the peace and fulfillment that comes with it only comes from God.
The problems that most poor people have money can solve but the problems that rich people have only God can solve them.
4. Wealth as a function of laws & principles, human factors, divine intervention, help of God.
5. God does not decide who becomes wealthy or who remains poor. Duet 30:16.
5. Kingdom wealth is not about being millionaires and billionaires. It's about having supplies that meet your needs. But to support the purposes of God. Within the boundaries of modesty life, you do not need alot.

How money works
1. Spiritual. Starts in the unknown in God's economy
2. Giving. If you are not a giver you will be poor.
3. The law of value. Offering solutions that are needed and can give value....whether you sell the value or not, you will receive it in one way or another. Write a list of the things that people are willing to pay for.
4. Productivity; package your value. Many can sing but not everybody is willing to listen to it.
5. Excellence;.....if you are not in a position to deliver quality, preserve the name and let someone else do it.
6. Relationships.... don't abuse them. With all due respect, you cannot treat people the same way if they are in different levels.
7. The only way money grows and multiplies, is through investment. 
Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again.Divide your portion among seven, or even eight, for you do not know what disaster may befall the land.

Five types of investment
1. Spiritual_Relationship with christ
2. Mental_
3, Health & wellnes"
4. Strategic relationships



Principles of living from an overcomer

 


Lessons;
1. Ignorance is a not demon.
It is solved by knowledge.

2. Expectations are defined.
These are the areas that expectations need definition. They are also the measure of success; Spiritual Growth, Mental Transformation, Purpose & Ambitions, Health and wellness, Financial well-being, Relationships, Fulfillment and meaning.
Joseph had prepared and he remained steadfast till his Kairos moment.

3. People are not really affected by what happens to them, they are affected by the meaning they attach to those happenings.
What do the different life events mean to you? what meaning do you attach to them?

4. You need encouragement/motivation to start anything but it takes discipline and consistency is discipline and endurance.
Staying power even alone and the ability to say no to many good things.
There time you need the staying power. Sometimes you just need to close the pot and wait for the food to cook.

5. Do not be hasty with words or with commitments.
Think, pray & seek counsel.
Patience is a virtual that forces deception to reveal itself.
PAUSE, don't be hasty!

6. Critics and naysayers are a system
Confirmation that you are making notable progress.
They can also be used by God from decline and destruction
The presentation of what they are saying maybe wrong but the content is worth listening to.

7. There are three groups of people.
Wicked people;proverbs 6
Selfish people
Ignorant/Naive people
But there are still sincere people and they are gifts.

8. Define the most important things in your life. Not everything is worth dying for.
Everything in life does not hold equal value. Anything that you cannot die for is not that important.
Three most important things in your life; Relationship with Christ. Family (spiritual & biological), Assignment
Not worth dying for; fame, money, titles....competitive things.

9. Learn from the scars of others.
Respect even the children. They have the advantage of time. Saul has a chance of becoming Paul which the elderly don't have. At the end of your life, you will only be remembered for the problems you solved or the problems you created.


Choose Life


Consequences are connected by default to decisions.
At times, some deaths are as a result of some decisions.

To choose means;

1.  That you are aware of other options.
The path you saw may be one of many paths available.
The options;
_Grace and Honour, Dignity & Glory
_Mediocrity
_Life of total confusion
_Life of total defeat.

2,. Conclude on a path to follow after carefully examining the various outcomes they produce.

Choices and decisions are pathways, they always lead somewhere.
Prolonged indecision is giving circumstances permission to choose for you.
It takes making decisions to rise in life and making decisions to fall as well.

The real value of wisdom is in its ability to make superior destiny-advancing decisions.

Excuses and offenses are Satan's weapons of mass destruction.

You can pray and still make bad choices. Your choices will influence you more than your prayers.

7 destiny-defining decisions
1. Decision to know the Lord and serve Him all the days of your life.
2. Decision to contend for a superior belief system. As He thinketh
3. Decision to live a life purpose and meaning. It is purpose that gives value to
4. Decision to contend for health and longevity..Live strong & long.
5. Financially empowered (Lack and want does not glorify God)
6. Decision to build destiny relationships
7. Decision to be a blessing
