DIVINE RESOURCES: WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR ALLOCATION”

I want to tell you the story of a man that went to another man to ask, how are you making it so much that you have extra money and I don’t have and the man been asked gave the formular of how he spends his own money.

So what is the formular you use for spending your money?

Let me explain, if two persons (believers) who are both earning 1 million naira each, and five years time, one of them has money more than the other person, will you say that God is partial?

So what is the possible reason why this happened?

Psalm 112:3 says: “wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever”

If the scripture says wealth and riches will be in your household, why then are you not wealthy?

Let me make four assumptions:

First, the wealth allocated to you is probably still hanging in the heavenly realm as they have not been downloaded by you, so there’s a loaded heaven but an empty pocket on earth.

Second reason: is it possible that when the wealth allocation was downloaded, it was stopped on the way before it got to your location?

Third: is it fair that wealth is been transferred from a disobedient Christian to an obedient Christian?

So wealth transfer can happen between Christians. Do you believe? See this scripture:

Luke 19:24 And He said to those who stood by, take the miner from him and give to the one who has ten.

There’s a story about a man of God, Kenneth Copeland, as at then he was seventy five years old, he went to God to inform Him about a new project he wanted to embark on, the project was supposed to cost 500 million dollars, but the response he got from heaven was that he has already exhausted his allocation on earth.

He went back to God later and asked if the wealth of other people who were not using their wealth could be transferred to him, and it was approved, then he started the new project. So it is possible for wealth to be transferred.

Fourth possible reason is ignorance, if a man doesn’t even know that he has wealth allocated to him somewhere he won’t receive it.

There are some riches called “hidden riches” they fall into the category of wealth allocated to you but blocked from you, so the riches are actually hidden from you.

So asides from tithe which is 10%, what do you do with the 90% left?

Main Scripture:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,  having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, (Ephesians 1:3-5)

If there are spiritual blessings for you in heaven and you can’t download them to earth, will they be useful to you?

Why are spiritual blessings not translating to reality? There are lots of reasons one of which is ignorance, if a Christian does not know for example that Psalm 112:3 belongs to them, he may not walk in the reality.

So for you to download wealth and riches allocated to you, you must take note of the following:

SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS BECOMING A REALITY

– KNOWING (Dan 11:32) “The People who know”, you must be aware of your heavenly blessings.

– BECOMING (John 3:2-3) “You Must Be”, there are some blessings specified for believers, for you to have these blessings, you must become saved through Christ.

– APPROPRIATING (James 1:25) “Doer of the work?”, if you are qualified by becoming a child of God, you need to do the work.

SUSTAINING (Phil 2: 12-13) “Work Out Your Salvation” you have to work out your salvation with fear and trembling

IMPACTING (Matthew 5:16) “Let Your Light Shine”
