KEY SCRIPTURES: EXODUS 3:21-22; MATT. 25:23-30
INTRO
o The Bible talks about 2 major kinds of wealth transfer: one in the Old Testament and the second in the New Testament
o Some aspects of these transfers have taken place already; others are taking place all the while.
o In the end-Tmes we are about to see an interesTng combinaTon of these transfers!
FROM THE HANDS OF OPPRESSOR NATIONS TO THE HANDS OF THE OPPRESSED
PEOPLES
o Ex. 3:21-22
o Gen. 15:13-14
o The purpose of this great transfer is to fulfil God’s prophetic agenda: preparation leading to financial empowerment.
o Psalms 105:44 NLT – He gave his people the lands of pagan nations, and they harvested crops that others had planted.
o Ecclesiastes 2:26 NLT – …if a sinner becomes wealthy, God takes the wealth away and gives it to those who please him.
AFRICA
o Reparation is coming our way in Africa, whether the oppressor nations want it or not; whether they like it or not. The years of the slave trade, colonialism and neo-colonialism would have to be paid for by those nations who benefited from the shed blood of Africans: the British, French, Belgians, Dutch, Americans, Germans, Chinese and so on and so forth.
o Today, we are talking about LITHUIM and rightly so. But I have news for those who have made it their business to join forces with foreign interests and oppressors to enslave Africa and Africans through brazen corruption, unmitigated greed and avarice. More and more rare minerals are yet to be discovered in the bowels of Africa. But uniquely, they shall not be harvested to feed the greed and avarice of corrupt politicians and their cronies!
o These rare minerals are being held in store for the time when the righteous shall assume the reins of power. Moreover, rare inventions and innovations will emanate from the nations of Africa in overwhelming proportions! If you are thinking: when will these things happen? The prophetic response is this: don’t look too far, the signs of these things are all around us and they will become more manifest in the leap year of 2024! Heard about Maxwell Chikumbo of Zimbabwe who is pioneering green energy, power from natural,
non-traditional sources, turning radio frequencies into energy to power cars, helicopters, generators and even drones. The batteries are for life, self perpetuating, no petrol, no diesel, no solar, no hidden electricity or microwave signal device…no recharging…the system runs on free energy frequency in the air (atmosphere) and continuously recharges itself. He has built a car, helicopter, a generator that can power 300 homes, TV etc….. He has been refused patent rights because his technology defies the laws of physics. Western Science is unable to define what it is or its commercial mass benefits and application.
o Why do you think God has set up institutions like SALT University College to train tomorrow’s transformaTonal leaders today. Remember this: God will not do anything He has not spoken about and He would not say anything He would not do!
o THOSE IN AFRICA WHO HAVE RESISTED GOD, PITCHED THEIR CAMP WITH THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS & WICKEDNESS AND SHOWCASED DEVILISH CALLOUSNESS IN RELATION TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE WOULD BE WIPED OUT IN THE SAME MANNER THAT GOD WIPED OUT THE GENERATION OF UNBELIEVING & WICKED ISRAELITES BEFORE THE ENTRY INTO THE PROMISED LAND [NUMBERS 32:11-13]. THE JOSHUAS & CALEBS WHO WILL SURVIVE THIS DIVINE JUDGEMENT ARE THOSE OF AFRICA’S IMMEDIATE POST INDEPENDENCE GENERATIONS WHO HAVE NOT SOLD THEIR SOULS TO BAAL, THOSE WITH CLEAN HANDS AND PURE HEARTS.
o Let’s continually remind ourselves that God’s prophetic agenda of turning the destiny of Africa from being the last continent to the first remains steadfast. The Easter 1986 Gathering of 153 Leaders of the worldwide Prophetic Ministry on Mt. Carmel, Israel heard the Lord repeat his plan to make Africa the Number 1 continent! Surely, it will happen sooner than later. In 2024 we shall witness significant movements in this direction.
o Bottom line: there would significant transfer of wealth into the hands of Africa and Africans.
FROM THE HANDS OF BAD STEWARDS INTO THE HANDS OF GOOD STEWARDS
o I must hasten to stress that, this wealth transfer isn’t so we can start living lavish lifestyles. No. This wealth is so we can accomplish God’s agenda on the earth before the tribulation comes.
o If anyone is thinking about how they’ll spend all of this wealth on themselves, let’s be clear: the wealth isn’t coming to them. The wealth is only for those who are focused on advancing the kingdom of God.
o This should remind us of the story Jesus told about a man going on a long trip. While he was gone, he entrusted his money to his servants. I mean, of course, the Parable of the Talents in Ma. 25:3-30. [1 talent in those days was the equivalent of 11.5 years of wages].
o Did you realize this parable is a part of Jesus’ description of the end times? In Matthew 24, Jesus explained what would happen in the last days, then He shared several parables in Mathew 25 to make sure we understand.
o The parable of the talents is an end-time parable. Let’s keep reading:
You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. So, you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. Therefore, take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. – Matt. 25:26-28
WEALTH TRANSFER?
o The third servant was not about his master’s business. He was too busy maintaining his own reputation. So what he had was taken away and given to the one who was about his master’s business.
o In this end-time wealth transfer, the wealth of those who are not advancing the kingdom of God will be given to those who are advancing the kingdom of God.
o The end-time wealth transfer is not a Robinhood strategy [This is not God redistributing wealth to make sure everyone has the same amount]. No. It’s no return to Socialism, Communism or even unbridled Capitalism.]
o The end-time wealth transfer is God shifting all the wealth to those who will advance the kingdom of God. So, my question to you is, are you spending everything God has given you on yourself and those in your close circuit? Or are you multiplying what He’s given you so you can take care of your family while advancing the kingdom of God at the same time?
GOOD STEWARDSHIP
o Positioning yourself for the end-time wealth transfer means you are putting out yourself as one that God can trust with His end-time agenda. It is proving yourself as a good steward of everything God has consigned to you.
Who’s a Steward?
o Simply put, a steward is someone who is called upon to manage [supervise, take care of] another person’s estate, be it a property, organization or business.
o The Bible has a lot to say about Stewardship. There are over 2,300 verses about stewardship and generosity in the Bible. Christians are called to be good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to His people, including time, talent and treasure.
The Spiritual Meaning of Stewardship
It involves the recognition that everything we have [talent, time & treasure], everything we are, is a gift from God and through being grateful and generous with those gifts God reveals His perfect and infinite love for us. [The problem with the servant who received one talent…] God reveals His perfect and infinite love for us most visibly in His Son, Jesus Christ. So, as good stewards, we ought to make God’s love visible by imitating Jesus.
The Lifestyle of the Redeemed Steward!
o Faithfulness
Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. – 1 Corinth. 4:2
Well Done! Good & Faithful Servant
Faithfulness is the most precious ingredient in the hands of the servant.
Reward doesn’t depend on much talent you have but rather on how faithful you’ve been in the management/utilization of what you received.
The Reward of faithfulness is promoTon i.e. higher levels of authority
o God-centredness
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added to you. (v. 33) – Matt 6:31-33
The price of ownership is provision i.e. the supply of resources for the accomplishment of the vision.
In Matthew 6:31-33 God promises that if you focus on His kingdom and His righteousness, He will take care of your needs. But if you are consumed with your own needs, He is going to take what you have and give it to those who are advancing the kingdom of God.
o Total Trust in the Lord
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own
understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths (5-6).-
Prov. 3:5-11
o Prayer & Supplication with Thanksgiving
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplicaOon, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. –
Phil. 4:6-8
[the principal cause of sickness and bodily dislocaTon is STRESS [tension, worry and anxiety]
PRAYER
- ASK THE LORD FOR THE STEWARD’S ANOINTING [AS WAS BESTOWED ON MOSES] TO ENABLE YOU FIRMLY POSITION YOURSELF FOR THE END-TIME WEALTH TRANSFER THAT IS IMMINENT.
- ASK FOR THE FOUR KEY INGREDIENTS TO SUCCEED AS A STEWARD I.E. FAITHFULNESS, GOD-CENTREDNESS, REPOSING TOTAL TRUST IN THE LORD, PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING!
