Anointing Service|| Grace for Wealth Creation|| Pastor Yemi Joseph- Tarkon || City of David Atlanta

No. It takes money. Our money is not going to drop from heaven. God needs me, God needs you to create the money to make this place what it is. And for me personally, we're not just building a church. We're building a legacy for our children coming behind us so that they can ride on our shoulders and do more than we have done. If an immigrant pastor an immigrant pastor from Nigeria can put this kind of thing together, our children can do much more because they have leverage, they have advantage.

do your part. Do your part. So god is blessing you with all these riches, with all this wealth. What's your responsibility? Matthew six nineteen to 22 talks about laying treasures for yourself in heaven. So which means when all this wealth comes, when all these riches come, first, remember god. Remember we read earlier on, god is the one that gives the power to create wealth. So in all this you're getting, remember god. Remember god. Lay treasures for yourself in heaven. Walk with the wise.

Don't go and borrow money. Buy a BMW or a Mercedes Benz and now pack it in front of a rented apartment. It doesn't make sense. It does not make sense at all. As much as we want to package, let's package wisely. Package wisely. Remember, we belong to this kingdom. We are in this kingdom, kingdom of God. We are Christians. The bible says we are they were called Christians. Christianity means you're Christ like. So in your thinking, you're thinking like Christ. You don't have to please anybody.

Grace. Grace empowers us and gives us capacity. So that means when the wealth comes, you have the grace to manage it. You have the grace to still keep coming to church. You have the grace to keep on praying. You still have the grace to serve in church, clean toilets, clean the floor, clean the bathroom. You don't take the grace of God upon your life in vain. The moment it starts blessing you, you have a little bit of money here and there, we see the back of your head, you're no longer in church, or you you come to church, [00:59:34] (39 seconds)  #GraceAndService

When we prayed today, we remembered the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. But these are all the exploits they had done in their own time, which we're supposed to build on. We're supposed to build on what our forefathers have put in place. In the book of Deuteronomy chapter eight verse 18, the bible says he's the one that gives us the power to create wealth. So if he has given us this power to create wealth, what are we doing with the power? God will help us in Jesus' name. And [00:53:17] (38 seconds)  #PowerToCreateWealth

Some things we think, oh, we shouldn't talk about it in church because it doesn't look holy enough. But when you read the bible, everything in the bible is for our instruction. If the bible says he blessed Abraham and we are the seeds of Abraham, why are we not blessed? If the bible says he blessed Isaac and we came from Abraham, Abraham Isaac came from Abraham, Jacob came from Abraham, Why are we not living in the, you know, like in the blessing of the forefathers of our patriarchs?

But we as parents, we have to be there to make sure these things do happen in their lives, and God will help us in Jesus' name. So we're talking about wealth. We're talking about grace. When we talk about grace, it's unmerited favor. We all know what grace is. It's the grace of God that woke us up this morning. It's the grace of God that brought us to church that we were not in an accident. It's also the grace of God that will help us to create. But there's a level of intentionality that comes with it that needs our input. [00:57:32] (34 seconds)  #IntentionalParenting

So we're all sitting down in this nice auditorium. For some of us, you would have noticed some changes, the gold markings on the doors, the instructions on where to go. We didn't just go and smile at the people that came to create it and say, you know what? This is the house of God. Just come in and come and write for us. Or when the sound system was being put in place, we didn't say, oh, you know what? The just shall live by faith. Just come in here and help us mount all these monitors.
