  18. 0:34comments about wealth when people talk

  23. 0:50wealth
  24. 0:51that you must focus on you must be
  25. 0:54wealthy in
  26. 0:56seven areas or you will be poor
  27. 1:01the first area of wealth
  28. 1:04is spiritual wealth
  29. 1:08the bible calls this being rich toward
  30. 1:11god
  31. 1:14if your spiritual life is not
  32. 1:17in order and you have a billion dollars
  33. 1:21in the bank
  34. 1:23you are poor
  35. 1:27what does it profit a man
  36. 1:31to gain the whole world
  37. 1:35and lose the most important thing he has
  38. 1:37his soul
  39. 1:39so you want to focus on wealth
  40. 1:43in your spirit life the second sphere of
  41. 1:46wealth
  42. 1:47in the kingdom is so local wealth
  43. 1:51solid wealth means
  44. 1:55intellectual and emotional
  45. 1:58development
  46. 2:04you must focus on developing yourself
  47. 2:07intellectually
  48. 2:09god gave you a brain
  49. 2:12he expects it to be developed
  50. 2:16god gave you a brain
  51. 2:19with nothing in it
  52. 2:23it's like a hard drive on a computer
  53. 2:27it is up to you to decide what you
  54. 2:29download
  55. 2:32it's called learning
  56. 2:37it's important for you to become very
  57. 2:40wealthy
  58. 2:41in your soul your soul consists of your
  59. 2:44mind
  60. 2:46your will and your emotions
  61. 2:52it is not to your benefit
  62. 2:55to have a billion dollars in the bank
  63. 2:58but don't have the intelligence
  64. 3:00to invest it don't have the
  65. 3:04knowledge to multiply it
  66. 3:08and don't have the wisdom
  67. 3:12to invest it
  68. 3:16and that's why solomon was smart
  69. 3:20when god asked him what do you want
  70. 3:24i will give you anything you want
  71. 3:26solomon
  72. 3:27did not ask for money
  73. 3:31he asked god for so local wealth
  74. 3:35he said give me knowledge
  75. 3:39wisdom and understanding
  76. 3:44later on solomon wrote this in his book
  77. 3:47called proverbs he said
  78. 3:52wisdom brings wealth
  79. 3:59one of the students of jesus his name
  80. 4:02was john

  84. 4:12i wish above all things that you would
  85. 4:14prosper

  87. 4:19as your soul
  88. 4:22prospers that means your health depends
  89. 4:26on your mental state
  90. 4:30your prosperity depends on
  91. 4:34your soul local development
  92. 4:40i always tell people when i train them
  93. 4:43in business
  94. 4:44that wealth is actually an idea
  95. 4:49it's not money wealth has to be
  96. 4:53first in the mind so you must be
  97. 4:56wealthy in your soul the third set of
  98. 5:00wealth
  99. 5:00that you must focus on in the kingdom of
  100. 5:02god
  101. 5:04is what we call
  102. 5:11physical wealth you know it's
  103. 5:14interesting that
  104. 5:16stephen jobs one of the richest men in
  105. 5:19the history
  106. 5:20of the world who founded apple
  107. 5:24computer with a partner
  108. 5:29he was worth hundreds of
  109. 5:32billions of dollars
  110. 5:35but not one dollar could save him
  111. 5:40from cancer in his pancreas
  112. 5:43and his liver he died with a
  113. 5:46billion dollars in the bank
  114. 5:49he had
  115. 5:53he had material wealth
  116. 5:57but he didn't have physical wealth
  117. 6:05no matter how much you know
  118. 6:08no matter how much you are talented and
  119. 6:12gifted
  120. 6:14if your body breaks down

  131. 6:59make a decision to focus on becoming
  132. 7:03wealthy healthy

  134. 7:10the nation of israel
  135. 7:13he gave them all kinds of wonderful
  136. 7:16laws but then he focused on
  137. 7:19suddenly physical laws of their bodies
  138. 7:23and he gave them a hygiene list
  139. 7:27he gave them a health program
  140. 7:31he gave them even specific foods to eat

  380. 20:04the bible says a good man
  381. 20:08leaves an inheritance not just to his
  382. 20:12children
  383. 20:15but to the children of those children
  384. 20:19you are wealthy if your grandchildren

  390. 20:38you are poor
  391. 20:46you know my my wife and i when we were
  392. 20:49planning our future together
  393. 20:53we decided we would plan to buy
  394. 20:56properties for our great grandchildren
  395. 20:59because we wanted to prove the bible so
  396. 21:02we bought a lot of real estate
  397. 21:05before our kids are even married
  398. 21:08not for them
  399. 21:13but for their children's children
  400. 21:17we've already bought them they paid for
  401. 21:20so according to god i'm a good man
  402. 21:26a good man does what leave an
  403. 21:29inheritance to his children's
  404. 21:31children generational wealth
  405. 21:37if everything dies with you
  406. 21:40you are a failure

  408. 21:45children to pay
  409. 21:48you are a bad man not a good woman
  410. 21:54ah it's quiet now see

  412. 22:00generational
  413. 22:01all the time

  415. 22:06curse

  417. 22:19some of you are praying for god to bless
  418. 22:22you
  419. 22:23with material resources and god
  420. 22:26is refusing to give it to you because
  421. 22:29he was waiting for this session
  422. 22:39because he knew you were not ready
  423. 22:42for wealth you would waste it

  585. 30:58an idea this building was first an
  586. 31:00architectural idea
  587. 31:01this meeting was first an idea
  588. 31:06everything begins as an idea
  589. 31:12so no idea nothing
  590. 31:17small idea small thing
  591. 31:21big idea big thing
  592. 31:28so i wonder which one are you are you
  593. 31:30poor
  594. 31:31are you rich or are you wealthy
  595. 31:37i'm not sure but we'll find out
  596. 31:42oh boy
  597. 31:46write this down please money is pursued
  598. 31:50people pursue money riches
  599. 31:54is accumulated but wealth is different
  600. 31:58wealth is created
  601. 32:02and they are different god
  602. 32:06doesn't want you to pursue money
  603. 32:11and he doesn't want you to accumulate
  604. 32:14things
  605. 32:16we read it a moment ago a man's life
  606. 32:19does not consist
  607. 32:20in the things that he accumulates
  608. 32:25if you need things to feel important you
  609. 32:28are poor
  610. 32:32you don't need things
  611. 32:37to feel important
  612. 32:41you make things important
  613. 32:44because they come into your life
  614. 32:49but wealthy people create
  615. 32:52money this is why in the middle of a
  616. 32:55global crisis
  617. 32:58wealthy people don't panic they think
  618. 33:04if you study jesus every time he was
  619. 33:07caught
  620. 33:08in a crisis he had a plan
  621. 33:15you think you don't panic you think
  622. 33:20it takes the same energy
  623. 33:24to worry as it takes to plan
  624. 33:28so use your energy properly
  625. 33:31panic takes energy planning
  626. 33:35takes energy so convert your energy
  627. 33:41i have built a multi-million dollar
  628. 33:43organization
  629. 33:45i've been sitting at board meetings all
  630. 33:46my life i am on the boards of hospitals
  631. 33:50and banks and insurance companies and
  632. 33:52we sit in meetings with big issues and i
  633. 33:55always sit in the meetings and i am
  634. 33:56chairman of some of those banks
  635. 33:58or those board meetings of hospitals and
  636. 34:01my job is to make sure that there are
  637. 34:04solutions
  638. 34:06that's why they want me to be chairman
  639. 34:09because they know this guy never panics
  640. 34:14why he's in the kingdom of god he has
  641. 34:17access to wisdom they don't have glory
  642. 34:20halle blue yeah
  643. 34:24when pharaoh asks joseph where did you
  644. 34:27get this wisdom
  645. 34:30because he knew it didn't come from the
  646. 34:31university of egypt
  647. 34:36joseph says my god everybody say it
  648. 34:39my god gives me wisdom
  649. 34:44that means god gave me this idea
  650. 34:47of digging holes in the desert and
  651. 34:50putting the wheat in the holes it was a
  652. 34:51god
  653. 34:52idea it was a business idea
  654. 34:56it saved the economy of egypt
  655. 35:01another thought to write down money is
  656. 35:03collected
  657. 35:06poor people are always collecting money
  658. 35:08they save it in their bosom
  659. 35:11save it under the mattress save it in a
  660. 35:14hole outside the tent
  661. 35:17always saving stuff rich people store
  662. 35:20money
  663. 35:21they like to hide it in banks hiding
  664. 35:24investment companies
  665. 35:26but wealthy people are different they
  666. 35:28literally take money
  667. 35:31and they multiply it
  668. 35:34rich people multiply money they multiply
  669. 35:37they grow money
  670. 35:42i want you to go home and ask god for
  671. 35:44wisdom to multiply
  672. 35:47everything you have
  673. 35:50there's always more in which you have
  674. 35:56when we were building our building for
  675. 35:58our ministry
  676. 35:59to meet enough meetings in
  677. 36:03we designed the largest building in the
  678. 36:05island and we built it
  679. 36:08and i told the board we will not build
  680. 36:10this building as a church building
  681. 36:12we're going to build this as a community
  682. 36:14center
  683. 36:15so we designed this beautiful building
  684. 36:18and we named it
  685. 36:20not a church name we call the building
  686. 36:23the diplomats center for diplomats
  687. 36:28because we are kingdom people and we are
  688. 36:30ambassadors
  689. 36:32an ambassador is a diplomat so we
  690. 36:36designed a building
  691. 36:38beautiful
  692. 36:41auditorium first class lobby
  693. 36:44with tiles and we call it the diplomat
  694. 36:47center
  695. 36:48the bathrooms with marble nice
  696. 36:53beautiful parking lot lights
  697. 36:56and every church attacked me
  698. 37:02they put me in the newspapers
  699. 37:05the preacher said that i was a cult
  700. 37:09because i didn't have a steeple on the
  701. 37:11building
  702. 37:13didn't have pews in the building
  703. 37:16didn't have an altar didn't have candles
  704. 37:21there was no cross in the building they
  705. 37:23said you are not
  706. 37:25from god no problem
  707. 37:29but what they didn't know was i'm a
  708. 37:34businessman
  709. 37:36and i realized i gotta pay this building
  710. 37:39off debt free
  711. 37:41so we designed the building
  712. 37:45in a way that it can be used for any
  713. 37:47function
  714. 37:48we put first class technology in it
  715. 37:52television cameras lights
  716. 37:55auto audit uh audio equipment
  717. 37:59big stage first class
  718. 38:03now our building is the number one
  719. 38:05building being used
  720. 38:07by the government of our country by the
  721. 38:10universities
  722. 38:11graduations high school commencements
  723. 38:14and they got to pay us plenty money
  724. 38:19clap clap
  725. 38:24now let me explain why some of you
  726. 38:27pastors built a church building
  727. 38:30you only use it twice a week
  728. 38:34you should be ashamed of yourself that
  729. 38:37means
  730. 38:37for five days that building is sitting
  731. 38:41there
  732. 38:42generating no revenue you have to pay
  733. 38:45for the blocks and the bricks
  734. 38:47you have to pay for the electricity the
  735. 38:49building is dead for five
  736. 38:52days producing nothing you are abusing
  737. 38:56god's resources
  738. 39:01wealth multiplies
  739. 39:08the rich man says look at our church
  740. 39:10building
  741. 39:12look how beautiful it is look at the
  742. 39:14blocks
  743. 39:15and jesus said not one of them
  744. 39:20will remain on one another he laughed at
  745. 39:24the building
  746. 39:25because they were worshiping the
  747. 39:26building instead of using it
  748. 39:32how do you think there was a lady that

  868. 45:11she was sitting on wealth in her
  869. 45:15house it was in an oven she wasn't using
  870. 45:19i wonder what's in your house
  871. 45:27you are not poor
  872. 45:30you need to think let me close with the
  873. 45:33scripture
  874. 45:35genesis chapter 26
  875. 45:39does god want you wealthy let's find out
  876. 45:42it says in genesis chapter 26 verse 12
  877. 45:45isaac planted crops in that land
  878. 45:47and the same year he reaped a
  879. 45:48hundredfold because the lord blessed him
  880. 45:50that was in this land right here
  881. 45:53the man became what rich okay that's
  882. 45:56that's
  883. 45:57he was no longer poor he became rich
  884. 45:59that's the second level but watch god
  885. 46:01it says on his wealth what continued to
  886. 46:04grow he moved into wealth now
  887. 46:06and became what very not rich
  888. 46:09wealthy that means he shifted from
  889. 46:12material to ideas
  890. 46:16he had so many flocks and
  891. 46:20herds and employers
  892. 46:25staff he hired other people gave them
  893. 46:28jobs because he pursued
  894. 46:32god's will for his life
  895. 46:35and the bible says the philistines what
  896. 46:38envied him
  897. 46:39my question is how many rich people envy
  898. 46:42you
  899. 46:48and this is the problem paul
  900. 46:52says if you're going to win the jew
  901. 46:55you got to make him jealous
  902. 46:58how do you make a rich man jealous
  903. 47:05i'm gonna leave that right there you
  904. 47:06figured it all by yourself you are very
  905. 47:08smart people
  906. 47:12the philistines envied him
  907. 47:16because god made him
  908. 47:19wealthy therefore
  909. 47:22god does not give wealth let's read it
  910. 47:27deuteronomy 8 verse 17. god says when
  911. 47:30you become wealthy you may say to
  912. 47:32yourself
  913. 47:33my hands and my strength have produced
  914. 47:38this wealth for me
  915. 47:39but that's not true he says remember the
  916. 47:42lord
  917. 47:42for it is he watch this
  918. 47:46who gives you what not wealth
  919. 47:49the ability to produce wealth
  920. 47:53wow god doesn't
  921. 47:56give money he gives
