Financial Dominion: Breaking the Survival Cycle || Pastor Israel Ogbechie||| City Of David Atlanta

But you see, I I've left the franchise system not fully, I I still have investments there, but but I've dived into other areas. Why? Because I am looking and trusting God. Lord, how can you expand my abilities so that I'm a blessing? And friends, that is how we need to begin to think. Need to begin to think. When you are in the income expansion zone, you are thinking of multiple streams of income. How many people know that the least dimension of income you are supposed to be having under God is four streams. Minimum of four streams. The Bible says in Genesis, you know, Genesis chapter two verse 10, there's a river that watered the garden and provided resources all over the garden. The bible says it divided into four heads.

For many of us, what we do right now is that we spend everything. And everyone does, if you spend everything, you're not wise. You're not. I tell them in my local church that every individual and I like you to listen and pay close attention under the sound of my voice. 35% of your income minimum does not belong to you. And I will explain. 15%, 10% goes as tights. Some of you will be saying now, but pastor, why are talking about tights? If God is the source, won't you honor him with the resources? He's the source. If God is the one who will bless you, won't you honor him back? He's the giver. So if you don't honor him back, if you don't give him back, how will he open the heavens?

And that's why some people say, oh, when when when God blesses me with millions, Lord, I will bless you. You you slice. In fact, you can't give $1 out of 10, trust me when you have $1,000,000 as profit, you can't give 100,000. You can't. So you you start with that basis. For me, I structure in 5% for offering and other givings. 20% is set aside for investment. And that 20% for me comes from the model of Joseph. The bible says that God gave him a strategy and an idea. He said there was there's gonna be plenty in the land, but keep 20% [01:24:07] (42 seconds)  #GiveSaveInvest

There are two major pillars for financial dominion. Two major pillars. One pillar is what they call divine supply. Divine supply. And the second one is what they call divine strategy. Divine supply just simply means you just win, you just win, God just opens the heavens and just blesses you. The woman who was a widow and lost her husband and and and the husband had debts. Suddenly he cried out to the man of God. And the man of God gave her an instruction which she acted upon. Then suddenly money came. That is divine supply. [00:57:24] (47 seconds)  #SupplyAndStrategy

And first listen, your source is not your job. Your source is God. Your source is not in the economy. Your source is God. Is God. Is God. Is God. The Bible says the earth is the Lord's And the fullness thereof. Psalms 24 and verse one. It says silver, gold, the cattle's upon a thousand hills. They belong unto him. My prayer for you this morning is that God will begin to lift you to a new dimension of wealth in the name of Jesus. Amen. [00:56:49] (35 seconds)  #GodIsYourSource

Trust me, when it is God at work, he will make opportunities available for you. I bought that property in 02/2014, No no money. I didn't put my own money down. I didn't have any cash. Bought that property with vendor take back and a couple of other finance financial leveraging. Guess what? Seven years or ten year, seven years, about four years, eight years after. Guess how much I sold the property? I sold it for over 3,000,000, 3 point, actually 3,500,000. Those those are sold the property. And then I put it into some other things. So I'm not only telling you what God cannot use you to do. Not I'm not telling you what God you cannot do but you need to make up your mind that I want to step in.

I look for a lit a little seed. I took that seed. I began to think about all the vows that I've made before that probably may have led to me being trapped. And I remember some of them, and I said, please have mercy upon me. The ones I could not pay, I asked God for forgiveness. I I tell, father, I undo what I have pledged on. God is a merciful God. The ones that I could the ones that I could pay, I paid it. But I took that thanks I took a special seed and went to the altar, and I cried out unto God. Friends, it was it was like as if it wasn't as if the heavens were open. And before I knew what happened, things changed. [01:39:49] (40 seconds)  #StewardshipMindset

Shift your thinking. From survival to stewardship. Shift your thinking. The bible says in Deuteronomy chapter eight verse 18, it says remember that it is God that gives you power. To get wealth. It is God. It is God. So you must first understand that your source is God. Not the job, not CN, CNN, not any other banks, Bank of America. No, is is God. Money can be lost, opportunities can fade, but if you carry the power, if you carry the mental understanding that this comes from God, you know where to look up to.
