S3 Ep. 174 Transformative Wealth Strategies Inspired by Joseph and David

Speaker 1: Hello there, welcome to the World Cafe podcast. This podcast has been designed with created content that centers on the power of words. Can we really do anything without speaking? Can we really do anything without the agency of words? Yes, that is what this podcast is all about, and I am your host , amakri Isubie, your neighborhood word trader. I believe in the power of words , for it is the unit of creation . I trade in words to profit my world. We are men, the man, his mission and the money. A message that is not economically viable will breed poverty. A message that is not economically viable what do you mean by economic? If viable, my brother? If there's no money in your pocket, there's big wahala, but the worst wahala is if you don't understand why money should be in your pocket. So I was just brainstorming and this hit me. And when you started talking about the business in church, god actually gave me that concept. I wrote it down Something like Dragon's Den or Lion's Den. We need to fund businesses in the church ideas. Give people grants, seed funds, with a clause. You're going to plow back to this scheme when you make progress and you're going to show us in XYZ time your ratings return on investment, employability. How many people have you employed in the church? So let them see that we are not as poor as a church rat. Create an escrow account, an escrow form like create a faculty, get people. So when you are just like so actually, god has started this thing already you come present, you come into a studio like this what's your name? Okay, we heard you're a good lawyer, but you're into business . All right, tell us, why do you think we should fund you? Why do you think we should give you this grant? Just like what they do in Dragon's Den. But this time we're not trying to make profit in that sense. Rather, we're trying to raise kingdom financiers. That's why terrorism is still up there, because the people who sponsor it come under the guise of religion. So what do we do? As men, you must understand that your place as a man in the kingdom is very important when it comes to finances, but if you don't understand the kingdom, how would you spend? So it's a question of why do we need the money? We need the money, quite all right, but why do we need the money? Do we really know why we need the money? You know, you said something your target 1 billion. I'm calling the way the monies were coming in? Yes, and you said, before you got to that place, they were. They started meeting their targets. You made a confession, or you asked your father for that help, and your boss immediately recognized that your coming into this team changed a lot of things. Now let us ask the question what Joseph did that made him always stand out? Some of this is because he had the favor of God. Okay, maybe what else? Joseph was always doing things differently, added to the grace of God on his life. He was a servant in a place. This is how they serve. Joseph came and said I think we can serve excellently. Well, his master came and said before you came, these people used to do like this, but after you came, there's something different. So you're going to be the head servant. So Joseph became a standard by doing things differently. Potiphar, prison and Pharaoh. When he told Pharaoh the dream, he told Pharaoh two things. He said it's not in me to give you the answer, but I know somebody who will give you the answer. He will not just give you the answer, he will give you an answer of peace. And Pharaoh now said okay, who will actually implement these things you are saying, apart from you, who has given us the insight to this? And see the way Joseph started answering Pharaoh's questions. You can see clearly he was putting into practice kingdom principles. Kingdom principles how do I know ? Tithe is a kingdom principle, because that was what he implemented there. Saving we need to save 20% of all our harvest. Now, if we need to save 20% of all our harvest, it means we need an infrastructure that can carry this. So, engineers, where are you in the house? Go and give us structures. Okay, if we need to save, we need to come up with methods of preservation. Okay, the scientists, agriculturists in the house. How do we preserve grains over a period of time? Okay, we need to sell them. Alright. Commercial activity the marketers where are you in the house? Alright, come up with principles. Who was directing all of this? One man, joseph, but look at where he was coming from. Implementing kingdom principles when did he hear the kingdom principles from? He wasn't there. When Abraham gave a title to Melchizedek, the prince of Salem , he wasn't there. But scripture says he was in the loins, so it was fellowshipping with his father's God. His father's God now told him this was the covenant I had with your grandfather. So, if you implement it. Say really, say yes. So why do I need the resource and how do I get it? Because he gives power. God doesn't give you money. He gives, gives power. God doesn't give you money. He gives you power To make, not money to make wealth. So money is just like maybe first or second card of wealth. I think that's where a lot of us miss it. Like my pastor said once, god asked him if you have one billion dollars, what will you do with it? He wrote down how many things. He now went back to look at what he wrote down free will lot . He now said no, I think I need to keep the one billion in the cooler and rest for six months to catch revelation. Because, in all fairness we are men. The first thing that comes to our mind I mean correct me if I'm wrong If you have money in your pocket, you just think of the new house you're going to build, you know the next car you're going to do, you know the next car you're going to buy them to pass our family, the private church, exactly. You begin to pursue sort of and it's like God will be shocked even looking at this my son, this is my son that I've made the head of something. Look at what he's thinking about. No, you're not even thinking about okay, he's not even the type Okay, kingdom Investment. How do I get young men like me off the street from evil vices? How, how do I preach the gospel ? Just like what Baris has said a while ago preach the gospel by feeding. As they see you. They think Christ, that that's our Messiah. He brings food here every day for us. Rather, you're thinking about me, myself and I, and that's a stingy position, and God never deals with stingy people, never. Let's piggyback on this scripture. When David was anointed there's a part of that story that a lot of us just gloss and go. We don't look at it. When he said the disgusted, broken, battered, distressed, the scripture used all negative words there. They came to him, david, to be their captain. How, somebody who was running in the bush, you people just gathered to him. No, they didn't gather to him. Who ordinarily they saw? This guy has a kingdom mandate and we've seen how he's been surviving all this while without any hand Human hand, I mean. They went to him. We all know the end of that story. They all became the mighty men of David. So, kingdom provision. How do I get it? First of all, you must understand kingdom, kingdom. You must understand. If you don't understand kingdom , god's investment on your life will be a total waste Kingdom. So what is the kingdom? The man was placed to tend the garden, the garden of Eden. In the room I was discussing with my causing my wife, I said is Eden a location? Is a geographical location? You believe so. You think Eden is a geographic location. It means God's presence rests. God's presence rests in certain places on the earth. Somebody, my pastor in Port Harcourt she said that statement , pastor Cage, and somewhere now I was reading, I saw it. God's center is everywhere, but his circumference is nowhere. When you're looking for a circumference of a circle, that's to tell you where to pinpoint it and take your direction. His presence is everywhere, but that's his second. Friends, you can never find it why. Because God can move you. What you're doing now is across borders, but one day he will tell you son, I want you to move physically to a location that I , god, will reveal to you. And when you go there, ordinarily, everybody who believes in your God comes to you. So not until we understand. It's a tender garden, tend. And there's a word again there take care and keep it. The man is a caretaker, the woman is a caregiver. See, take care. What am I taking care of? The garden? What is the garden? It's typical of God's kingdom. He said let's look at it this way God created the earth After creating, he created a garden and put man there. Now God is the owner of the earth. Follow my thought. He's the owner of the earth. He created the earth and gave ownership to the man. What do you expect to operate in? God's creation? God's principle or man's principle? God's principle, so it is a kingdom mindset. So it is a kingdom mindset. So God expects man, who he has given access or control or authority over his creation, to always come back to him for instructions on how to run the kingdom. And that was why the scripture you read from Matthew, jesus always talked about the kingdom. And that was why the scripture you read from Matthew, jesus always talked about the kingdom. He didn't talk about no, jesus did not talk about a faith. No, he didn't, no, no, no, he didn't do that. He talked about a kingdom or the kingdom. So not until we, as men, come to understand that we are caretakers, the resources will not come For a caretaker. For you to be a caretaker, it means you have access to what Resources? So why do I need money? Or why do I need the resources? Imagine, just imagine, if Elon Musk is a Christian or somebody who believes in God and he's sitting on Just for a minute. Imagine your mind can't comprehend it that Elon Musk who bought Twitter for 40 billion Sorry, 40 billion dollars and 44 . So he is increasing by the day. So, and he's a believer, he's of the faith. What do you expect? So will it be comfortable for me to say that God has not found us worthy in accessing this wealth? It's just a thought. So for you to profit from the land, it means you need to have a level of knowledge that is not ordinary. You must understand how to milk . There is a technique to milk. You can't just wake up in the morning and just walk out there and you see it. No, that is why I hate the language hustle, because a lot of us don't know the meaning of hustle. It's a negative term. I told you I'm very keen on words. I don't just throw words around . I don't. I like the word diligence. Why, see, is there a man who is diligent in his business, not business. In his business, you can say, in his entrepreneurial skills or venture, he will stand before kings and not men. Men. For you to stand before kings, it means the king sought or the sorted, if there's any language like that. People are asking why did Elon Musk buy Twitter? What will he do with Twitter? Okay, let me paint a picture for you. The world has gone. Digital data is more expensive than energy. As we speak today, data democratization is taking the whole place, if you know what that means. We all have access now to data, but who knows what to do with data? It is called data mining how to mine? There is something in data that you need to mine. Elon Musk has a satellite, True or false? Twitter works on what algorithm ? Marx has a satellite, true or false? Twitter works on what algorithm ? How do you project Twitter to the world? Through what Satellite? He controls the satellite. He controls Twitter. He has all the data to his disposition. He mines it at will. He controls the narrative. Because he controls the narrative? Because he who controls the narrative controls your destiny. That's why heaven and earth will pass away, but God's word will not, because God in that space, in that dimension, controls the narrative. That's why he bought Twitter and it's, I mean, that's why? Imagine you controlling information. What you're wearing, now I can decide it. I profile you. Yes, I profile you, thank you. I profile you. Yes, I profile you, thank you, I profile you. Peter likes wearing glasses, this kind of shade and all that. And what do I do? I begin to bombard Peter with so many information concerning this kind of glasses. The likelihood for Peter to take one out of 20 is 99.9, because he sees it every day. So so, going to church and hearing the pastor preach and you sweat, it's not enough. No, it's not enough. No, it's not enough. No, it's not enough. No, it's not enough. You just said a word my people perish for lack of knowledge. Once I was looking at that word knowledge. What's the meaning of knowledge ? What's the meaning? I fragmented the word knowledge Know, l and ledge. Your knowledge that is dependent on continuous learning gives you an edge over everybody, an edge over everybody. I said your knowledge that's word kn? O, knowledge, no L and edge. What you know on a continuous learning basis gives you an edge over everybody. So it's not enough for you to say I know, no, no, it's not enough. You must learn, keep learning, relearn, unlearn continuously. That is the only way you can have an edge in any society. That's why the Spirit of God always tell you if you have fellowship with him, you think what you knew yesterday will take you through tomorrow. There are dimensions, there are levels that when you get into it and you begin to operate it, people will say this guy is now rich, you'll be rich, you'll be rich. Yes, you are now in a place that we don't understand you anymore. It's actually, why would you understand me? God is taking me into the deep From one level to the other. So I have asked myself, just like baxter said a while ago, sunday is like a religious thing . You just go to church and I ask if I go to church every day or every Sunday. I'm so religious about it. And somebody goes to a golf course and plays golf and they talk intellectually and exchange ideas and grow wealth. Excuse me, why should I not go and play golf? I'm laid off. The essence of going to church is to catch revelation. It is not enough to catch revelation. I call it. It is enough when you have revelation. So what is that? Standing on a revealed knowledge, operating from a revealed knowledge, is a word I coined anyway revelation. It's not. You're not. You're not working on revelation anymore. You are now working on revelation. You are on an elevated platform in that knowledge and everybody is looking at you. Where did they bring this one from? Now he is in the bible. Have you read it? Where is that? That's why he said I was in the spirit. You know this issue of I go back to what you said earlier. My husband is not spiritual enough. What drastic did you use in measuring him? My understanding of being spiritual is that I'm a spirit. I'm always connected to the Holy Spirit Full stop. I don't need a quiet time to be spiritual, but I need to quieten my spirit to be spiritual, but I need to quieten my spirit to be spiritual. I can be in the midst of so many people. He's telling me something and you just see me. I pick up my book on my phone and I begin to put down thoughts . You know when I wrote my first book. Now I know this story very well . I did 90% book. Marissa knows the story very well. I did 90% of the writing on the move. Either I'm on board or I'm trying to catch one, this thing or whatever. 90% the thoughts came. I now try to slow myself down, sometimes like on board. They tell you switch off all your whatever, forget that thing . I really switch my phone off because that's where it's flowing. I now try to slow myself down, sometimes Like on board. They tell you switch off all your whatever, forget that thing . I really switch my phone off because that's where it's flowing. I'm serious, I'm not joking, I'm sorry. I need to switch my phone off. I can put it on flight mode, but switch my phone off. Nah, I don't do that Because it's like I'm between the levels . It's I see the celestials coming down and it's just flowing. I just pick my phone. Sometimes I look through the window. That's why I like sitting by the window. I just see the clouds and it just begins to flow. Yeah, I just like. Okay, I just pick my phone and I begin to write, begin to write , begin to write, begin to write . In 45 minutes I have put down three chapters. I'm not kidding. So if you're not connected, how would he give you? Okay, in English, his language capacity? Okay, this room. What's the capacity of this room? It can contain 50 people. It can contain X amount. Now bring it, juxtapose it to kingdom mindset. Do you have the capacity to contain the thoughts of God? Because God cannot fit into your thoughts. You need to fit into God's thoughts. The capacity is about connectivity. The king was going on a journey. Hold your thoughts, it's coming . The king was going on a journey and he gave his servants talents, in actual language. He gave them money. What is the money for to trade? The king has a relationship with his servants. What is the money for To trade? The king has a relationship with his servants. They have seen him trade. So he went on a far journey and he said continue this trade based on what you have seen me do. And he gave them according to their capacity. Ability. That's what the scripture says, because he knows you. Scripture says without vision, my people cast off, restrain or they perish. The question is, whose vision? The scripture says write the vision, stand on my watch and I would listen to hear what you say to me. Sorry, I will listen to see what he will say. So he will be speaking and I will be catching. So the vision is not your thought. We must start from there. Let's leave the generic go ye preach. Let's leave it that one. We know the vision. It is what he is telling you. So your thought comes to interact with what you are being told. Thank you, it is what God is telling you. So, thank you, it is what God is telling you. Now let me share this. My writing did not start today. My love for words did not start today. I had an encounter way back as a teenager, out of body experience. I've had so many of them that I've even forgotten. Sometimes he brings it back to my memory. But this particular one, I was praying and it got to this point where you know you pray and you get to a point you're praying, pray and you get to a point you're praying. The words are no longer there. Either they call it groaning or you just sigh, but I just I think I sleep. You know I fell into his sleep or what I said. What I saw was I was in a room and someone I saw. The impression I got was that's divinity in the presence of divinity, and a book was raised to me. I can still remember the cover, the image and everything. And he said, a voice said it will come out of you. Like this, now, like this, I was lying down, but beneath the word finished, like this, I was standing up. I don't know how I got up, so writing for me is not difficult. That's the vision he gave to me . Awesome time it has been with you on the World Cafe podcast today. Thank you for being there.
