2000 YEARS AGO:
JESUS: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.
PETER: Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
PAUL: For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
2000 YEARS LATER:
G.O ONIRURU: I have 2 jets today because I sowed my house for a 24 hour seed miracle. If you believe in me as God-sent, and you want to own jets before the end of this year, run to the altar now with your property documents.
G.S LAKASEGBE: I am stupendously wealthy today because I gave my first salary, my first car, my first house, my first suit and my first food to God’s work, and I have never missed paying my tithes.
BISHOP IRÓ-NLÁ: I lie not unto you, God told me to sow the $1,000 I have left in my savings...that was all I had left in the world. I gave it to God at 1pm....guess what...at 3pm, God replenished my account with $100,000. I called the bank to trace the source...they could not. God broke up the windows of heaven and caused an earthquake of blessing in my account. If you believe this same God that responds in 2 hours, if you believe in God of 100,000 multiplier, run to the front now like a mad man!
SNR PASTOR HABAKKUK: God told me to write the vision down and I did. When I woke up to see what I wrote down, I saw the names of those God planned to embarrass with blessing in the last 3 months of the year. If you know you are one of them, and you want this embarrassing blessing, I want 100 people that will give £5,000 to this ministry by the end of this week. You can go to to your bank and apply for a loan. Even if your credit is bad, the blood of Jesus that washes as white as snow has made it good, go and apply for loan. Grab your phone and call the bank. God wants to ride your donkey to Jerusalem.
FATHER CATALYSTUS: Last year, you gave 5 million naira, this year, you must double it. If you don’t, I will pray to God that you don’t get that contract.
FOUNDER EPAPHRODITUS: When I pray for you and MY god answers you and heals you of your sickness, and you go back to your old church, I will pray for your disease to come back in 7 folds.
APOSTLE TITHER: If you don’t pay your tithes, you are cursed. If you don’t sow your first salary of the year as first fruits, you will struggle for the whole year. If you don’t appreciate the man of God with your substance, Governors will hold back your salaries for months because they will not appreciate labour.
BROTHER AMOSTIASIS: Jesus did not die 2000 years ago for all the trashes above to be said in his name! Don’t be desperate for overnight success or miracles.
God is not a 419. He won’t just call a wannabe to drop 100 million in front of your room when you are not doing anything.
He will only bless the work of your hand by giving you the power to make wealth. He is not going to give you any wealth by sitting down and picking your teeth!
Yes, you can give to the cause of the kingdom. There are missionaries in remote places of the world where there is no luxury of any sort.
Just last week, a family in a church in the US left everything to relocate to a village in Mozambique. The wife is a doctor and the husband a senior partner at a firm. There is no electricity or road in the village that God specifically asked them to go and show the people the light. They have spent the past one year learning and reading up on the people they were going to be living with.
If for anything, look for missionaries like that and assist them. Look out for pastors and evangelists labouring in villages, turn to those who chose to identify with the poor and underprivileged and aid them with your substance.
I am not against being blessed by God, but seek the kingdom first, seek to aid those labouring inconveniently in the kingdom first...and definitely God’s blessing will follow.
By the way, God is not Mecca Bingo or Jackpot...he knows the secret or desperation behind what you give or sow after listening to a wannabe, he won’t answer you. If He does, everybody in that land will be a billionaire today.
So get out of your wishful dreams, find something to do and let God bless what you faithfully give to his cause.
I will specially recommend you look out for barely known ministries that sincerely labour for God’s kingdom.
Change your tactics. You have been dropping in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans all these years and you have not seen anything...try to start blessing the streams and rivers in your local communities.
Just stop feeding the wrong fat tree, start nurturing new one.
God bless.
