In order to be transformed, my mind must be renewed.  You and I both enjoy pleasures. There is nothing wrong with that. It’s how we were created. If we were not supposed to enjoy these pleasures, God would not have designed our minds to recognize pleasure. God experiences pleasure too. He is pleased with our faith and obedience. Pleasure becomes wrong and even sinful in our lives when we forget to please God first.

 

If you give God pleasure then all of your pleasures will be taken care of, guaranteed. You ask, “How does God get pleasure out of my life?”  If I live holy, will that give God pleasure?  If you live holy that will give you pleasure.  A separated consecrated lifestyle benefits you, not God.  God is already holy. Your holiness doesn’t affect him one-way or the other. He is holy regardless of whether or not you jump on the holy bandwagon. Holiness is a benefit to you, a safety mechanism, and a way of being positively identified. However, what gives God pleasure is your prosperity.

Let them shout for joy and be glad that favored my righteous cause. Ye, let them say continually, let the Lord be magnified, which have pleasure in the prosperity of his servants. It’s really simple; when you are prosperous the Lord has pleasure. When you are not prosperous, he does not have any pleasure. I want to ask this question. “Did you give God pleasure so far this year?”  You thought you were giving him pleasure because you were at the altar saying, “Thank you, Jesus”.

He does not have pleasure in that alone. God has pleasure when you can take creative ideas and begin to prosper in it. God has pleasure when you are able to flip money. If you cannot flip money, you are not a faithful servant. If you cannot turn money, flip money, make money, you are not exemplifying the qualities of our creative God.  You may be faithful to coming to work and loyal to the job. But if you cannot create profit, then you are unfaithful in God’s eyes. In fact, He calls you, a wicked servant, because you are unproductive.

Challenge: Identify any unproductive areas in your life right now.

When you settle, you lack faith. When you have no faith, it’s a sin against God.

So, if there is a power to get wealth, you cannot be a giver until you get the power to get. You must have the power to get, in consciousness, before you can give in your reality. Let’s look at the law of being rich. Life is development. The purpose of nature is for the advancement and the unfolding of life. Every man should have all that can contribute to the power, to the elegance, to the beauty, to the richness of life. To be content with less is sinful.

Any time you are learning to live without, you have missed the mark. To be content with less is sinful. If I am going to be content without having, then I am literally living and dwelling in sin, because it is God’s will, or the will of the Father, for me to live in abundance. It is the will of the Father for me to have abundance, and to be abundant. Anything outside of His will misses the intended mark for His creation.

 

No man can rise to his greatest possible height and talent, or soul development, unless she or she has plenty of money.

What lies about settling for something less have you prescribed to in the past?

God says, “You cannot serve God and mammon.” He put mammon on the same level as himself. He called it a master and says you cannot serve two masters. Just think about that for a minute.  Why would God call money a master, unless money was himself? Worshipping or having money, apart from God, is twisted, doing God upside-down. Remember this, you cannot worship God and mammon, but you must worship God with

mammon. You are probably thinking, “Money is evil!” So many people have been falsely taught that.And when you have been given wrong information throughout the course of your entire life, it takes a whole lot of deprogramming and inner cleansing to be able to receive new workable information. Let’s face it, if mammon were evil, God would never have told you to make friends with it. He would never have told you to have money. The real deal is that God just wants you to put money in its proper perspective.  He wants you put the power in perspective.

What is your greatest talent or dream in life? If you had an abundance of money, what would you be doing to enrich the life of others in your community?

From whence you and I came, there was no need for any of those things, since you are spirit. And as spirit, you don’t have a need for aesthetical beauty and adornment. There was no need for an adult or child. There’s no need to be ugly or pretty. There’s not even life and death for that matter. Those things are all created from this earthly realm. As strange as it may seem at first, you really created the way you look. You named it and gave it a meaning. You created the way you feel.

Take credit for all of the situations going on around you, you created them too. Because you never realize those things, is exactly why you have not tapped into your higher self, and accessed the riches of the kingdom.  You are a co-creator with God. And, it is your assignment to create beauty and ugly, to create life and death, to create humor or sadness, to create happiness, gladness or mourning. It’s true, that you create all of this drama, as you have entered and descended into the world of illusion.

The cure for worry is meditation. Worry is meditation in the wrong direction.

What good thing can you meditate — focus your attention to — about today?

Lately I have been discovering some universal laws and spiritual truths.

I sincerely believe that I am more spiritually acute now than I have ever

been. Believe me when I tell you that, I have no plans on going backward.

My spiritual acuteness is directly correlated to my growth and development

in every area of my life. That is my primary goal, for the church and universe at large to become so spiritually sharp that the fruit of their spirituality can be seen in every way.

The church of our Lord is growing. It is not a church that is going to be

fat, but rather lean. It will include those who are serious enough to become

disciples and unapologetically reap the benefits from living such a disciplined lifestyle. We are growing up into Him, His Nature. We are becoming Him. We are coming into a whole new level of consciousness.

Far too long vain excuses have been a commonplace for lack of spiritual

achievement. The real truth is that it is up to you to be what you want to be

or what you don’t want to be.  Also, it is up to you to have what you want

to have. Honestly, you can really do what you want to do. One of things

that I know is that truth sets people free.  Unfortunately, most people don’t

really want truth. They would rather be pacified with entertaining false-

hoods and soliciting sympathy.  If you do not do what you want to do, be

what you want to be, and have what you want to have, it is only your fault,

not God’s. We give you the principles; it is up to you to live your life. We

give you the truth; it is up to you to become that truth. We teach you the

word of God, so that you can become something far greater than you are

right now. We teach you how to reach deep inside to the child within.

The essence of your creation and creativity, which inevitably is your power

to passionately kiss wealth, is your imagination.

How are you going forward with your spiritual awareness?

If we wish to emulate the apostolic church claim that the apostles were God’s inspired men of God who gave to us God’s words, and believe that the apostles were the first churchmen of the Christian faith, then we must conform to the thinking and practices of the apostles. Acts may be the single most evangelistic book in existence; it has a great multitude of sermons from the apostles and sinners repenting their sins in hopes of being saved by God. In Acts, the Lord’s angel commanded Philip to “go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza” (Acts 8:26 NRSV). Being faithful to the Lord and to the evangelistic work set out for him from the Great Commission, Philip obeyed the command, rose, and went. The road he took was a vast expanse of desert and sand; however, he never complained or refused to set out on this mission. The Bible reveals that “he rose and went” (v.27a).

On his way to Gaza, Philip met an Ethiopian court official, who was a eunuch and a treasurer of the queen’s stores. By way of inference, he was likely Jewish: “he had come to Jerusalem to worship” (v. 27b). As this man was returning to Ethiopia from worshipping, he was reading the Book of Isaiah. When Philip saw this, he approached the eunuch at the urging of the Spirit (v.29). Philip asked, “Do you know what you are reading?” The eunuch replied, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” The man invited Philip to sit with him on the chariot to explain the passage he was reading (vv.30-31).

The passage the eunuch was reading was, “Like a sheep he was led to slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opens his mouth. In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe this generation? For his life is taken away from the earth,” (Acts 8:33; cf. Isa. 53:7). When the eunuch asked Philip what this Old Testament prophecy meant, Philip “opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture, he told him the good news [gospel] about Jesus,” (v.34).

Immediately after hearing the gospel, the chariot passed a body of water. The eunuch commanded for the chariot to stop, asking Philip, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” He went down into the water, and Philip baptized him (vv.36-40). After this evangelistic work, “the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing,” (v.39).

Philip was no holier than you or me. He was an ordinary man, whom God called to carry the gospel to his neighbor. Just like Philip, who was commanded to go down the road and explain the gospel and the prophecies concerning Jesus to a Jew, we are also admonished to do God’s work in going to our neighbor in love to explain the hope we have because of Christ’s life and work.

Philip did not know exactly where he was going, or to whom he was going to speak, but his willingness and humility in this story is the ideal attitude of a Christian who commits to evangelizing the world. Therefore, when God asks us to go somewhere, we should not complain about difficulties we might face. Instead, we must comply joyfully, for our God works enormous wonders for us and our salvation. Because we have Christ’s light, we are called to share this salvation with everyone around us.

The Bible explicitly mandates Christians to care for the poor. Tending to their spiritual nourishment is equally important as assuring their physical well-being. According to Robert Wafanawaka, “A disregard of this mandate [of the gospel] will result in the continued existence of poverty. The fact that poverty has existed from ancient to modern times is a testament to the violation of a basic biblical mandate. Without doing something drastic about the situation of the poor, it is evident in both biblical and contemporary times that the poor will always be there.”

Can we actually convert the entire world to Christianity? Can the Church transform the today’s social apathy into compassion to help the poor? Perhaps not; however, the possibility is there. Whether it is plausible for the entire world to be evangelized or not, Christ’s command still stands immortally. We are called to care for the poor both spiritually and physically. We must not separate these two, lest our actions be void of true compassion.
