- 1:01the first area of wealth
- 1:04is spiritual wealth
- 1:08the bible calls this being rich toward
- 1:11god
- 1:14if your spiritual life is not
- 1:17in order and you have a billion dollars
- 1:21in the bank
- 1:23you are poor
- 1:27what does it profit a man
- 1:31to gain the whole world
- 1:35and lose the most important thing he has
- 1:37his soul
- 1:39so you want to focus on wealth
- 1:43in your spirit life the second sphere of
- 1:46wealth
- 1:47in the kingdom is so local wealth
- 1:51solid wealth means
- 1:55intellectual and emotional
- 1:58development
- 2:04you must focus on developing yourself
- 2:07intellectually
- 2:09god gave you a brain
- 2:12he expects it to be developed
- 2:16god gave you a brain
- 2:19with nothing in it
- 2:23it's like a hard drive on a computer
- 2:27it is up to you to decide what you
- 2:29download
- 2:32it's called learning
- 2:37it's important for you to become very
- 2:40wealthy
- 2:41in your soul your soul consists of your
- 2:44mind
- 2:46your will and your emotions
- 2:52it is not to your benefit
- 2:55to have a billion dollars in the bank
- 2:58but don't have the intelligence
- 3:00to invest it don't have the
- 3:04knowledge to multiply it
- 3:08and don't have the wisdom
- 3:12to invest it
- 3:16and that's why solomon was smart
- 3:20when god asked him what do you want
- 3:24i will give you anything you want
- 3:26solomon
- 3:27did not ask for money
- 3:31he asked god for so local wealth
- 3:35he said give me knowledge
- 3:39wisdom and understanding
- 3:44later on solomon wrote this in his book
- 3:47called proverbs he said
- 3:52wisdom brings wealth
- 3:59one of the students of jesus his name
- 4:02was john
- 4:03wrote a little book that is tucked away
- 4:06in your bible
- 4:08is third john he said
- 4:12i wish above all things that you would
- 4:14prosper
- 4:16and be in health even
- 4:19as your soul
- 4:22prospers that means your health depends
- 4:26on your mental state
- 4:30your prosperity depends on
- 4:34your soul local development
- 4:40i always tell people when i train them
- 4:43in business
- 4:44that wealth is actually an idea
- 4:49it's not money wealth has to be
- 4:53first in the mind so you must be
- 4:56wealthy in your soul the third set of
- 5:00wealth
- 5:00that you must focus on in the kingdom of
- 5:02god
- 5:04is what we call
- 5:11physical wealth you know it's
- 5:14interesting that
- 5:16stephen jobs one of the richest men in
- 5:19the history
- 5:20of the world who founded apple
- 5:24computer with a partner
- 5:29he was worth hundreds of
- 5:32billions of dollars
- 5:35but not one dollar could save him
- 5:40from cancer in his pancreas
- 5:43and his liver he died with a
- 5:46billion dollars in the bank
- 5:49he had
- 5:53he had material wealth
- 5:57but he didn't have physical wealth
- 6:05no matter how much you know
- 6:08no matter how much you are talented and
- 6:12gifted
- 6:14if your body breaks down
- 6:17you are poor
- 6:24this is why john said i wish above all
- 6:27things that you may what prosper and be
- 6:31in health
- 6:37nothing is worse than laying on your
- 6:40back
- 6:41with some big ideas
- 6:49you must become wealthy
- 6:52in your physical body that means
- 6:56when you leave this place you must
- 6:59make a decision to focus on becoming
- 7:03wealthy healthy
- 7:08you may wonder why god when he created
- 7:10the nation of israel
- 7:13he gave them all kinds of wonderful
- 7:16laws but then he focused on
- 7:19suddenly physical laws of their bodies
- 7:23and he gave them a hygiene list
- 7:27he gave them a health program
- 7:31he gave them even specific foods to eat
- 7:35and would not to eat he was
- 7:38focusing on the third area of wealth
- 7:43your body
- 7:48by god's grace my wife and i and my
- 7:50children have not been
- 7:52sick for 36 years
- 7:57not one disease in our house now of
- 8:00course i

- 8:14and we feed our minds good books
- 8:18and listen to good cds and dvds all that
- 8:21is a part of my
- 8:23health we even protect ourselves
- 8:27from negative company because that can
- 8:30affect your health
- 8:33if you stay around people who complain
- 8:35all the time

- 8:49area of physical wealth the fourth
- 8:52state of wealth is social wealth

- 9:51you and your mother and your father
- 9:53unforgiveness and anger you are
- 9:57poor in your

- 10:16pray for those who persecute you why
- 10:19keep the relationships pure

- 10:32may depend on someone who you don't like

- 28:14and the word was with god and the word
- 28:18was god wait a minute now this is deep
- 28:20stuff here

- 30:17you are as rich as your ideas
- 30:22jesus christ created
- 30:26all things okay ideas

- 30:33all things were made by who him him who
- 30:37the word the word who ideas expressed
- 30:42do you know everything in this room was

- 30:53your watch was first an idea your ipad
- 30:57was first
- 30:58an idea this building was first an
- 31:00architectural idea
- 31:01this meeting was first an idea
- 31:06everything begins as an idea
- 31:12so no idea nothing
- 31:17small idea small thing
- 31:21big idea big thing
- 31:28so i wonder which one are you are you
- 31:30poor
- 31:31are you rich or are you wealthy
- 31:37i'm not sure but we'll find out
- 31:42oh boy
- 31:46write this down please money is pursued
- 31:50people pursue money riches
- 31:54is accumulated but wealth is different
- 31:58wealth is created
- 32:02and they are different god
- 32:06doesn't want you to pursue money
- 32:11and he doesn't want you to accumulate
- 32:14things
- 32:16we read it a moment ago a man's life
- 32:19does not consist
- 32:20in the things that he accumulates
- 32:25if you need things to feel important you
- 32:28are poor
- 32:32you don't need things
- 32:37to feel important
- 32:41you make things important
- 32:44because they come into your life
- 32:49but wealthy people create
- 32:52money this is why in the middle of a
- 32:55global crisis
- 32:58wealthy people don't panic they think
- 33:04if you study jesus every time he was
- 33:07caught
- 33:08in a crisis he had a plan
- 33:15you think you don't panic you think
- 33:20it takes the same energy
- 33:24to worry as it takes to plan
- 33:28so use your energy properly
- 33:31panic takes energy planning
- 33:35takes energy so convert your energy
- 33:41i have built a multi-million dollar
- 33:43organization
- 33:45i've been sitting at board meetings all
- 33:46my life i am on the boards of hospitals
- 33:50and banks and insurance companies and
- 33:52we sit in meetings with big issues and i
- 33:55always sit in the meetings and i am
- 33:56chairman of some of those banks
- 33:58or those board meetings of hospitals and
- 34:01my job is to make sure that there are
- 34:04solutions
- 34:06that's why they want me to be chairman
- 34:09because they know this guy never panics
- 34:14why he's in the kingdom of god he has
- 34:17access to wisdom they don't have glory
- 34:20halle blue yeah
- 34:24when pharaoh asks joseph where did you
- 34:27get this wisdom
- 34:30because he knew it didn't come from the
- 34:31university of egypt
- 34:36joseph says my god everybody say it
- 34:39my god gives me wisdom
- 34:44that means god gave me this idea
- 34:47of digging holes in the desert and
- 34:50putting the wheat in the holes it was a
- 34:51god
- 34:52idea it was a business idea
- 34:56it saved the economy of egypt
- 35:01another thought to write down money is
- 35:03collected
- 35:06poor people are always collecting money
- 35:08they save it in their bosom
- 35:11save it under the mattress save it in a
- 35:14hole outside the tent
- 35:17always saving stuff rich people store
- 35:20money
- 35:21they like to hide it in banks hiding
- 35:24investment companies
- 35:26but wealthy people are different they
- 35:28literally take money
- 35:31and they multiply it
- 35:34rich people multiply money they multiply
- 35:37they grow money
- 35:42i want you to go home and ask god for
- 35:44wisdom to multiply
- 35:47everything you have
- 35:50there's always more in which you have
- 35:56when we were building our building for
- 35:58our ministry
- 35:59to meet enough meetings in
- 36:03we designed the largest building in the
- 36:05island and we built it
- 36:08and i told the board we will not build
- 36:10this building as a church building
- 36:12we're going to build this as a community
- 36:14center
- 36:15so we designed this beautiful building
- 36:18and we named it
- 36:20not a church name we call the building
- 36:23the diplomats center for diplomats
- 36:28because we are kingdom people and we are
- 36:30ambassadors
- 36:32an ambassador is a diplomat so we
- 36:36designed a building
- 36:38beautiful
- 36:41auditorium first class lobby
- 36:44with tiles and we call it the diplomat
- 36:47center
- 36:48the bathrooms with marble nice
- 36:53beautiful parking lot lights
- 36:56and every church attacked me
- 37:02they put me in the newspapers
- 37:05the preacher said that i was a cult
- 37:09because i didn't have a steeple on the
- 37:11building
- 37:13didn't have pews in the building
- 37:16didn't have an altar didn't have candles
- 37:21there was no cross in the building they
- 37:23said you are not
- 37:25from god no problem
- 37:29but what they didn't know was i'm a
- 37:34businessman
- 37:36and i realized i gotta pay this building
- 37:39off debt free
- 37:41so we designed the building
- 37:45in a way that it can be used for any
- 37:47function
- 37:48we put first class technology in it
- 37:52television cameras lights
- 37:55auto audit uh audio equipment
- 37:59big stage first class
- 38:03now our building is the number one
- 38:05building being used
- 38:07by the government of our country by the
- 38:10universities
- 38:11graduations high school commencements
- 38:14and they got to pay us plenty money
- 38:19clap clap
- 38:24now let me explain why some of you
- 38:27pastors built a church building
- 38:30you only use it twice a week
- 38:34you should be ashamed of yourself that
- 38:37means
- 38:37for five days that building is sitting
- 38:41there
- 38:42generating no revenue you have to pay
- 38:45for the blocks and the bricks
- 38:47you have to pay for the electricity the
- 38:49building is dead for five
- 38:52days producing nothing you are abusing
- 38:56god's resources
- 39:01wealth multiplies
- 39:08the rich man says look at our church
- 39:10building
- 39:12look how beautiful it is look at the
- 39:14blocks
- 39:15and jesus said not one of them
- 39:20will remain on one another he laughed at
- 39:24the building
- 39:25because they were worshiping the
- 39:26building instead of using it

- 45:11she was sitting on wealth in her
- 45:15house it was in an oven she wasn't using
- 45:19i wonder what's in your house
- 45:27you are not poor
- 45:30you need to think let me close with the
- 45:33scripture
- 45:35genesis chapter 26
- 45:39does god want you wealthy let's find out
- 45:42it says in genesis chapter 26 verse 12
- 45:45isaac planted crops in that land
- 45:47and the same year he reaped a
- 45:48hundredfold because the lord blessed him
- 45:50that was in this land right here
- 45:53the man became what rich okay that's
- 45:56that's
- 45:57he was no longer poor he became rich
- 45:59that's the second level but watch god
- 46:01it says on his wealth what continued to
- 46:04grow he moved into wealth now
- 46:06and became what very not rich
- 46:09wealthy that means he shifted from
- 46:12material to ideas
- 46:16he had so many flocks and
- 46:20herds and employers
- 46:25staff he hired other people gave them
- 46:28jobs because he pursued
- 46:32god's will for his life
- 46:35and the bible says the philistines what
- 46:38envied him
- 46:39my question is how many rich people envy
- 46:42you
- 46:48and this is the problem paul
- 46:52says if you're going to win the jew
- 46:55you got to make him jealous
- 46:58how do you make a rich man jealous
- 47:05i'm gonna leave that right there you
- 47:06figured it all by yourself you are very
- 47:08smart people
- 47:12the philistines envied him
- 47:16because god made him
- 47:19wealthy therefore
- 47:22god does not give wealth let's read it
- 47:27deuteronomy 8 verse 17. god says when
- 47:30you become wealthy you may say to
- 47:32yourself
- 47:33my hands and my strength have produced
- 47:38this wealth for me
- 47:39but that's not true he says remember the
- 47:42lord
- 47:42for it is he watch this
- 47:46who gives you what not wealth
- 47:49the ability to produce wealth
- 47:53wow god doesn't
- 47:56give money he gives
- 47:59ideas
- 48:05i'm going to leave you now but i want
- 48:08you to take your pen
- 48:10and write down this simple list the word
- 48:13ability
- 48:13here's what it means it means ideas
- 48:18it means schemes concepts
- 48:22and projects god will give you
- 48:26ideas he will give you
- 48:31schemes he will give you
- 48:34concepts
- 48:39he will give you the ability to produce
- 48:43wealth he says if you produce something
- 48:48it can never run out
- 48:54if you can produce something you always
- 48:57have it
- 48:59poor people
- 49:02lose money rich people
