As you guys know, Pastor Kong is preaching all the Building Fund message, and is so inspiring. And testimony from Company Pinnacle Motor also prosper very well, as previously they pledge about $174,000 dollar. Unequal amount, but equal sacrifice, so get ready and Arise and Build!

Service 1 / October 11 2008

In good and bad time, people still make money.

Exodus chapter 3 = Moses was a fugitive, during chapter 3 he is already 80yrs old, spending 40 yrs in the wilderness.

Exodus chapter 3 verse 13-14
13 Nevertheless, Moses said to the [true] God: “Suppose I am now come to the sons of Israel and I do say to them, ‘The God of YOUR forefathers has sent me to YOU,’ and they do say to me, ‘What is his name?’ What shall I say to them?”
14 At this God said to Moses: “I SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SHALL PROVE TO BE.” And he added: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘I SHALL PROVE TO BE has sent me to YOU.’”

Moses ask God and say, "Who I represent go and save them"
God say His name is : I AM, not I WAS,but I AM.

You need supply, healing, "I AM" will help you.
In Hebrew "I AM" also called Yahweh or Jehovah

Exodus chapter 6 verse 1-2
1 So Jehovah said to Moses: “Now you will see what I shall do to Phar´aoh, because on account of a strong hand he will send them away and on account of a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”
2 And God went on to speak to Moses and to say to him: “I am Jehovah.

~ "I AM" again Exodus chapter 6 verse 3
3 And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.

= God Almighty in Hebrew is= "El Shaddai". It mean more than enough in quantity.
God reveal His name to let us know His character,
Jehovah or Yahweh also mean "redeemer". To Abraham, Issac and Jacob He reveal His name El Shaddai.

To Israel God reveal His name "I AM" Also the same,still called Redeemer. From Jehovah it bring us know Jesus the Redeemer.

Now let's put on your buckle, we are flying back and go into more detail of the beginning.

Matthew chapter 19 verse 1-8
1 Now when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Gal´i·lee and came to the frontiers of Ju·de´a across the Jordan.
2 Also, great crowds followed him, and he cured them there.
3 And Pharisees came up to him, intent on tempting him and saying: “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on every sort of ground?”
4 In reply he said: “Did YOU not read that he who created them from [the] beginning made them male and female
5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’?
6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart.”
7 They said to him: “Why, then, did Moses prescribe giving a certificate of dismissal and divorcing her?”
8 He said to them: “Moses, out of regard for YOUR hardheartedness, made the concession to YOU of divorcing YOUR wives, but such has not been the case from [the] beginning.

Jesus came to restore us back to the beginning. Just like a computer is spoil, the repair man need to come and restore everything, so is Jesus.

Genesis chapter 1 verse 1
1 In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Elohim= Creative God

-Jesus save us is to bring us back to the "BEGINNING"
-When we live creative, productive for God, it will be more effective.

In some church they preach judgemental, grace, healing and forgiveness, then after listen all these where you'll go? You will under redeem. But whe we become creaetive, innovative, we will go and search for the Elohim.

Instead crying out to Jesus and say 'save me', we should say 'anoint me and give me power'

Let me show you a comparison.
During economic hard time. People sell manufacture VCR and sell, and it sold upto US 2Bil.
And there is other people plan to do movies, and it Box Office sold upto US 18Bil.

There is no shortage, use your creative.
Every 53seconds, there is 1 new millionaire, is by CNN News!

People come out with new way, creative, new idea people mostly are rich.
The more you rich, you be richer. The more you poor, the poorer you are.
(scarcity is insult God)

Genesis chapter 26 verse 1-6 and verse 12
1 Now there arose a famine in the land, besides the first famine that occurred in the days of Abraham, so that Isaac directed himself to A·bim´e·lech, king of the Phi·lis´tines, to Ge´rar.
2 Then Jehovah appeared to him and said: “Do not go down to Egypt. Tabernacle in the land that I designate to you.
3 Reside as an alien in this land, and I shall continue with you and bless you, because to you and to your seed I shall give all these lands, and I will carry out the sworn statement that I swore to Abraham your father,
4 ‘And I will multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens and I will give to your seed all these lands; and by means of your seed all nations of the earth will certainly bless themselves,’
5 due to the fact that Abraham listened to my voice and continued to keep his obligations to me, my commands, my statutes, and my laws.”
6 So Isaac went on dwelling at Ge´rar.
12 Afterward Isaac began to sow seed in that land, and in that year he was getting up to a hundred measures to one, as Jehovah was blessing him.

God give him a promise, but is whether Isaac want to sow a seed or not.

Eygpt= Limitation
Gerar=Is like a promise land
Famine is like our modern world the 'economic recession'

Genesis chapter 26 verse 13-14
13 Consequently the man became great and went on advancing more and more and growing great until he got very great.
14 And he came to have flocks of sheep and herds of cattle and a large body of servants, so that the Phi·lis´tines began to envy him.

This is how God want to position and prosper us.
Come on, say to yourself out loud: "I'll prosper, no matter what"

Genesis chapter 26 verse 25
25 Accordingly he built an altar there and called on the name of Jehovah and pitched his tent there, and the servants of Isaac went excavating a well there.

Take note of verse 25, FIRST he build an altar, SECOND to pitch a tent to take care of his family, THIRD then indicating the business.

When you have the right priority, (seek His kingdom), look after family is (righteousness), and all other things shall be added to you. Amen!

Hebrews chapter 4 verse 16
16 Let us, therefore, approach with freeness of speech to the throne of undeserved kindness, that we may obtain mercy and find undeserved kindness for help at the right time.

Come before God boldly because God is loving=
we come before God because He Shed His blood= How you come before him is important.

Luke chapter 11 verse 11
11 Indeed, which father is there among YOU who, if his son asks for a fish, will perhaps hand him a serpent instead of a fish?

*4 Aspect of praise*
1
. Praise is having confidence in who God is

Psalms chapter 18 verse 48-49
48 He is providing escape for me from my angry enemies;Above those who rise up against me you will lift me up,From the man of violence you will deliver me.
49 That is why I shall laud you among the nations, O Jehovah,And to your name I will make melody.

Be confident of God's love for you.

2. Praise is a sacrifice

Hebrews chapter 13 verse 15
15 Through him let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips which make public declaration to his name.

Will your praise let others see the right image of God?
(4 requirements during praise)

A- Singing

Psalms chapter 9 verse 11
11 Make melody, YOU people, to Jehovah, who is dwelling in Zion;Tell among the peoples his deeds.

B- Clapping your hands (show that we have victory)

C- Shouting

D- Dancing

3. Praise is a spiritual weapon

Psalms chapter 106 verse 47
47 Save us, O Jehovah our God,And collect us together from the nationsTo give thanks to your holy name,To speak exultingly in your praise.

4. Praise create a powerful atmosphere for miracle in your life.

Acts chapter 16 verse 25-26
25 But about the middle of the night Paul and Silas were praying and praising God with song; yes, the prisoners were hearing them.
26 Suddenly a great earthquake occurred, so that the foundations of the jail were shaken. Moreover, all the doors were instantly opened, and the bonds of all were loosened.

Praise is your backbone of your life.
Break out of your shell
.

"Heart of worship"

Luke chapter 10 verse 38-42
38 Now as they were going their way he entered into a certain village. Here a certain woman named Martha received him as guest into the house.
39 This woman also had a sister called Mary, who, however, sat down at the feet of the Lord and kept listening to his word.
40 Martha, on the other hand, was distracted with attending to many duties. So, she came near and said: “Lord, does it not matter to you that my sister has left me alone to attend to things? Tell her, therefore, to join in helping me.”
41 In answer the Lord said to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and disturbed about many things.
42 A few things, though, are needed, or just one. For her part, Mary chose the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Our primary love be for God.
They chose worship over ministry.
Don't be misunderstood, ministry is important, but compare to worship, worship comes first.

=Worship is about UNDISTRACTED FOCUS on God.
=Worship is DESIRING AFTER God

Psalms chapter 42 verse 1-2
1 As the hind that longs for the water streams,So my very soul longs for you, O God.
2 My soul indeed thirsts for God, for the living God.When shall I come and appear [before] God?

Matthew chapter 5 verse 6
6 “Happy are those hungering and thirsting for righteousness, since they will be filled.

Reach out to God with your hands lifted up.

=Worship is UNCONDITIONAL SACRIFICE to God

1 Kings chapter 14 verse 21-28
21 As for Re·ho·bo´am the son of Sol´o·mon, he had become king in Judah. Forty-one years old Re·ho·bo´am was when he began to reign, and seventeen years he reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Na´a·mah the Am´mon·it·ess.
22 And Judah went on doing what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, so that they incited him to jealousy more than all that their forefathers had done by their sins with which they sinned.
23 And they too kept building for themselves high places and sacred pillars and sacred poles upon every high hill and under every luxuriant tree.
24 And even the male temple prostitute proved to be in the land. They acted according to all the detestable things of the nations whom Jehovah had driven out from before the sons of Israel.
25 And it came about in the fifth year of King Re·ho·bo´am that Shi´shak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
26 And he got to take the treasures of the house of Jehovah and the treasures of the house of the king; and everything he took. And he went on to take all the gold shields that Sol´o·mon had made.
27 Consequently King Re·ho·bo´am made in place of them copper shields, and he committed them to the control of the chiefs of the runners, the guards of the entrance of the king’s house.
28 And it would occur that as often as the king came to the house of Jehovah, the runners would carry them, and they returned them to the guard chamber of the runners.

~Gold represent God's GLORY and PRESENCE.
~Gold CANNOT be MADE, you can only find it.

There is no substitute for God's presence. Worship is of heart. Get real, honest and sincere with God. Is not about who knows you, but how you live for God.

The most valuable gold you have is the heart of God.

===X ===X ===X ===X ===X ===X ===X

"Spiritual Hunger"

Matthew chapter 5 verse 6
6 “Happy are those hungering and thirsting for righteousness, since they will be filled.

John chapter 6 verse 35
35 Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. He that comes to me will not get hungry at all, and he that exercises faith in me will never get thirsty at all.

Expectation is the basic for touch of God

Matthew chapter 11 verse 12
12 But from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens is the goal toward which men press, and those pressing forward are seizing it.

Only those desperate for God will experience God.

=We want the double anointing from God!
=Don't be a professional Christian (go to church often but have no relationship with God!)=Having ministry (do what you can do) and serving God is what God want you to do.

-Don't live for ministry and friends, but live for JESUS.
-We should be hungry and thirsty for the power and glory of God.

Psalms chapter 63 verse 2
2 Thus I have beheld you in the holy place,At seeing your strength and your glory.

Ezekiel chapter 1 verse 1-4
1 Now it came about in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], on the fifth [day] of the month, while I was in the midst of the exiled people by the river Che´bar, that the heavens were opened and I began to see visions of God.
2 On the fifth [day] of the month, that is, [in] the fifth year of the exile of King Je·hoi´a·chin,
3 the word of Jehovah occurred specifically to Ezekiel the son of Bu´zi the priest in the land of the Chal·de´ans by the river Che´bar, and upon him in that place the hand of Jehovah came to be.
4 And I began to see, and, look! there was a tempestuous wind coming from the north, a great cloud mass and quivering fire, and it had a brightness all around, and out of the midst of it there was something like the look of electrum, out of the midst of the fire.

Spend more time in the presence of God and you will start looking more and more like God.

2 Kings chapter 2 verse 1-7
1 And it came about that when Jehovah was to take E·li´jah in a windstorm up to the heavens, E·li´jah and E·li´sha proceeded to go from Gil´gal.
2 And E·li´jah began to say to E·li´sha: “Sit here, please, because Jehovah himself has sent me clear to Beth´el.” But E·li´sha said: “As Jehovah is living and as your soul is living, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Beth´el.
3 Then the sons of the prophets that were at Beth´el came out to E·li´sha and said to him: “Do you really know that today Jehovah is taking your master from headship over you?” At this he said: “I, too, well know it. BE silent.”
4 E·li´jah now said to him: “E·li´sha, sit here, please, because Jehovah himself has sent me to Jer´i·cho.” But he said: “As Jehovah is living and as your soul is living, I will not leave you.” So they came on to Jer´i·cho.
5 Then the sons of the prophets that were at Jer´i·cho approached E·li´sha and said to him: “Do you really know that today Jehovah is taking your master from headship over you?” At this he said: “I, too, well know it. BE silent.”
6 E·li´jah now said to him: “Sit here, please, because Jehovah himself has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said: “As Jehovah is living and as your soul is living, I will not leave you.” So both of them went on.
7 And there were fifty men of the sons of the prophets that went and kept standing in view at a distance; but, as for both of them, they stood by the Jordan.

Gilgal= is the place of circumcision.
Bethel= The house of the Lord, the church.
Jericho= is the place of active spiritual warfare, the place of ministry.
Jordan=The place of supernatural personal encounters and experience.

John chapter 3 verse 16
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.

Let's pursue God.

CellGroup at Holland with Ming Jing!

Testimony:

Joelle want to do the best in the study, she pray to God and say "POA is only one semester only", she want to do her best and score well, and she get B, and some other subject she get A"

ChinPo receive $1k from the parent for birthday present, wow! Is a financial blessing.

Caroline as she just graduated quite sometime from SOT, she is still in a midst looking for job, and job opportunity comes, the brother invite her to go work with him.

I believe as Arise and Build is approaching, God really provide us way for us to have finance to give to Him, and indeed He really bless us. Let's Praise the Lord man!

Acts chapter 4 verse 31
31 And when they had made supplication, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were one and all filled with the holy spirit and were speaking the word of God with boldness.

Not only they experience God, but the place was shaken. We also can have it for cellgroup till the place was shaken and experience strong tangible presence of God. Next time when you come or go to cellgroup, you can do it better in praise and worship.

Acts chapter 4 verse 32-33
32 Moreover, the multitude of those who had believed had one heart and soul, and not even one would say that any of the things he possessed was his own; but they had all things in common. 33 Also, with great power the apostles continued giving forth the witness concerning the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and undeserved kindness in large measure was upon them all.

Many are young believer during that time, and they generously share material goods with one another, they also witness and share the power of God, and grace come.

Question is do you just witness for the sake of witness, do you share with power???

Acts chapter 2 verse 44-45
44 All those who became believers were together in having all things in common,
45 and they went selling their possessions and properties and distributing the [proceeds] to all, just as anyone would have the need.

We learn to share good things!

Matthew chapter 6 verse 19-21
19 “Stop storing up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal.
20 Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Early church live on Jesus teaching like these.

Acts chapter 4 verse 32
32 Moreover, the multitude of those who had believed had one heart and soul, and not even one would say that any of the things he possessed was his own; but they had all things in common.

The people believe in one heart and one soul! When Holy Spirit touch them, they give generously.

3 Things happen when Holy Spirit touch you:

1- You'll learn to love genuine

- Through your giving, it can show how much you love.
- When you fall in love, you sure want to give something to the opposite sex, so when you love God you will want to give.
- So when you meet the one you love, you also want to dress your best, so when you love God, you come to church also will dress best!

John chapter 3 verse 16
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.

2- You'll understand the purpose of God

- Holy Spirit is a generous person, when He live in you, you become generous also, you will give seat to those needy in bus and not "ke siao" :)
- You will learn to bless, share and give:) Giver are mostly generous and happy one.
- When you water other, God will water you also.

Deuteronomy chapter 8 verse 18
18 And you must remember Jehovah your God, because he is the giver of power to you to make wealth; in order to carry out his covenant that he swore to your forefathers, as at this day.

3- You'll have faith in God continual provision

Proverbs chapter 11 verse 25
25 The generous soul will itself be made fat, and the one freely watering [others] will himself also be freely watered.

- We must learn not only to give in money, but time and serve!
- Annaias and wife die, they do for motive and for promotion, by saying these, not to scare you or discourage you, but we need to serve with a good heart!
- Barnabas give generously to the work of God
- What is $50,000, don't be so rich and proud.
- Ming Jing know people who are not only millionaire, but multi millionaire, but they are humble.

Now this is the time, Asia Conference is coming, if you draw back, God take no pleasure in you, we need to press on and pray! When you have the "Zoe" life= mean "God life", you will have extra energy to do much more things for the Kingdom of God.

We need to start to: Pray, Read the Word of God, Hungry for His presence, Tithe, Witness and balance our life. And this is the early church during the Book of Acts do, so we must do also! Amen.

Father. I pray that those who are reading these message you will open their heart and mind, so that they can perceive the good news and get to know how to break the curse of debt. For faith come by hearing, and hearing come by the Word of God. In Jesus name I pray Amen!

Jehovah is God name
================

Pastor Kong @ Jurong West/ Service 1/ 3:30PM

Lawrence and Lilian Testimony:
Lawrence use to declare bankruptcy, he and the wife even got no money to buy bus fare to travel, and they survive one meal a day, and sometime they even don't have the money to give to their little boy pocket money to go school. But in Business Breakthrough Group, Pastor Ming and members go to grocery shop with them and blessed them with foods. Indeed God is faithful, day by day He provide for them to survive.

And when Arise and Build come, they give total of $6,000 with is equal to 30% of their household. And Lilian was suspect of cancer, but after prayer, the result turn out to be safe.

Now Lawrence is earning a 5 digit income, and during that time he go and pursue his study Public Admin Master Degree at LKY to serve govermental body more effectively, and he influence 45,000 CEO throughout the world

John chapter 11 verse 40
40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

And business is good for Lawrence, he close a $50k deal continually 2 month, and plus a new deal worth $40k deal is coming in.

Lawrence and Lilian say: "We rejoice even we walk in the valley of death. 6month we come in to City Harvest broke and broken, but now we prosper." Amen!
===X ===X ===X ===X ===X ===X ===X

I guess you guys did not know that Pastor Kong actually fly here and there to many country in between the Building Fund Series. He actually fly to Auckland, Hawaii and etc everytime after finish the sermon on Building Fund, then he come back again and preach to us, then in between monday to friday, he fly again. Pastor Kong feel very safe, he just want to thank us for praying for him when he travel.

Luke chapter 16 verse 13
13 No house servant can be a slave to two masters; for, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. YOU cannot be slaves to God and to riches.”

In NKJV Bible Version, riches are read as mammon.
=Mammon in modern translation is called: money.. not very true.
=Mammon is Syrian god of Debt, where they charge interest and sell people to slavery when you can't pay up and etc. . .

In U.S, Henry Paulson is a very influential person, he talk make very big different in money world.

You can't serve God effectively when you are in debt.

================
LOAN VS DEBT
Serviceable VS Unserviceable
Appreciate VS Depreciation

1 LOAN= Borrowed money that's servicable=
Example: some people use loan to do investment or buy house

1.1 Invest things that appreciate

2 DEBT= Borrowed money that's unservicable
Example: Borrowed money go and buy thing for your own pleasure

2.1 Invest in things that depreciate -> Buy car ready and sell car, you won't get back the same amount you buy

Proverbs chapter 22 verse 6-7
6 Train up a boy according to the way for him; even when he grows old he will not turn aside from it.
7 The rich is the one that rules over those of little means, and the borrower is servant to the man doing the lending.

-Debt is addictive, and Jesus call it demonic, this will bondage you and stop you from the will of God.
-Example God spoke to you to go SOT, Mission Trip and etc . . . You say no.... busy... no money... this and that... why.. most people are tied down because of debt and need to work 2-3 job, and that is why debt hold you down and you can't serve God effectively.

~ANCIENT TIME ARISE AND BUILD~

2 Kings chapter 6 verse 4-7
4 Accordingly he went with them, and they finally came to the Jordan and began to cut down the trees.
5 And it came about that a certain one was felling his beam, and the axhead itself fell into the water. And he began to cry out and say: “Alas, my master, for it was borrowed!”
6 Then the man of the [true] God said: “Where did it fall?” So he showed him the place. Immediately he cut off a piece of wood and threw it there and made the axhead float.
7 He now said: “Lift it up for yourself.” At once he thrust his hand out and took it.

In some case, debt enforce bankrupt, seperate children from father and etc. . .

Say this to yourself:
MY GOD STORE UP WEALTH FOR ME
MY GOD IS DEBT CANCELLING GOD

If we ask and believe, He will do it for us. Amen!

Nehemiah chapter 5 verse 3-6
3 And there were those who were saying: “Our fields and our vineyards and our houses we are giving as security that we may get grain during the food shortage.”
4 And there were those who were saying: “We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute on our fields and our vineyards.
5 And now our flesh is the same as the flesh of our brothers; our sons are the same as their sons, but here we are reducing our sons and our daughters to slaves, and there are some of our daughters already reduced; and there is no power in our hands while our fields and our vineyards belong to others.”
6 Now I became very angry as soon as I heard their outcry and these words.

Nehemiah is like marketplace prophet, he is like Pastor Kong, not a full time.
You need start to get angry for keep on lending.
God will help you, if you really want to get out of debt.

Nehemiah chapter 5 verse 11-12
11 Please, restore to them on this day their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves and their houses, and the hundredth of the money and the grain, the new wine and the oil that YOU are exacting as interest from them.”
12 To this they said: “We shall make restoration, and from them we shall ask nothing back. We shall do precisely as you are saying.” So I called the priests and made them swear to do according to this word.

In one day, God miraculous cancel all debt. In the days, Nehemiah confront the ancient
"loan shark".

SAY: MY GOD IS A CANCELLING DEBT GOD

In Old Testament time, every 7year, debt will cancel, 7 cycle of 7year is the Jubilee. God is not a God cancel debt 1 time, 2 time or 3 time, but everytime. Amen!

God is not against for borrow, we can lend, but faster pay back.
Borrow loan for study is ok, we are upgrading ourselves, but borrow as a habit is no good.

Deuteronomy chapter 15 verse 6
6 For Jehovah your God will indeed bless you just as he has promised you, and you will certainly lend on pledge to many nations, whereas you yourself will not borrow; and you must dominate over many nations, whereas over you they will not dominate.

Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 12
12 Jehovah will open up to you his good storehouse, the heavens, to give the rain on your land in its season and to bless every deed of your hand; and you will certainly lend to many nations, while you yourself will not borrow.

Psalms chapter 37 verse 21
21 The wicked one is borrowing and does not pay back,But the righteous one is showing favor and is making gifts.

Let listen what Solomon the wise and rich man advice he got to give us.

1. Keep good RECORD

Proverbs chapter 27 verse 23-24 (TLB)
Riches can disappear fast ... so watch your business interests closely. Know the state of your flocks and your herds.

Pastor Kong keep a file of what he spend.
You need to know where your money go to. They always say got money got talk, actually is no! Money don't talk, that's why they sneakly go away and you don't know what you spend, haha!

Ignorance + Easy Borrowing = DISASTER!
YOU need to know what you owe!

2. PLAN my spending

Proverbs chapter 21 verse 5 (GNB)
Plan carefully and you will have plenty; if you act too quickly, you will never have enough.

City Harvest Building at Jurong West you visit is the building where we build during economy the hardest time, and yet is with cash and not in debt.

Proverbs chapter 21 verse 20 (GNB)
... Stupid people spend their money as fast as they get it.

- This is GOD IQ test, we must have a budget.
- You can download free "Family Budget Template"
- chc.org.sg/eng/downloads/downloads.php
- You must start to clear all your overdraft, hp bill and etc. . . . I also starting to do that.

3. REDUCE my debts rapidly

Instead of paying 15 years flat, why don't do it asap when you can do it asap.

If you got problem keep on use credit card, start to plaster it. Instead of using credit card, use cash instead. God won't help you if you purposely, let Him know that you are serious, and He will help you.

Proverbs chapter 3 verse 27-28 (TLB)
Don't withhold repayment of your debts. Don't say "some other time," if you can pay now.

4. Pay my TITHES faithfully to the house of God

If you say you are kingdom minded and serious about God, but if you can't give 10percent, how you want to give more like 90percent, as you know some people say they want to give God alot as they can.

Nehemiah chapter 13 verse 10-12
10 And I got to find out that the very portions of the Levites had not been given [them], so that the Levites and the singers doing the work went running off, each one to his own field.
11 And I began to find fault with the deputy rulers and say: “Why has the house of the [true] God been neglected?” Consequently I collected them together and stationed them at their standing place.
12 And all Judah, for their part, brought in the tenth of the grain and of the new wine and of the oil to the stores.

Malachi chapter 3 verse 10-11
10 Bring all the tenth parts into the storehouse, that there may come to be food in my house; and test me out, please, in this respect,” Jehovah of armies has said, “whether I shall not open to YOU people the floodgates of the heavens and actually empty out upon YOU a blessing until there is no more want.”
11 “And I will rebuke for YOU the devouring one, and it will not ruin for YOU the fruit of the ground, nor will the vine in the field prove fruitless for YOU,” Jehovah of armies has said.

5 Things when I tithe:
1 Church will be a blessing to all when we tithe, so we can help those who in need
2 There will be a open heaven for our life and church
3 Devourable that stop our money coming in will be rebuke away
4 God will protect, our hard work will bear fruit
5 Spirit led investment will prosper, I just can't afford not to tithe.

5. Give my best OFFERING to God

After tithing, we give offering! For me, if there is always a chance to give, I will want to give, and I want to give according to what God spoke to me, and I want to give something that will pain me and please God, I don't want to give something that cost me nothing. If He can give His only begotten Son, how can my money compare to His great love.

Pastor Kong and Sun are in debt of 14K, and they give all their pay check 2.4k, and guess what, blessing start to ome in. Seriously, if God speak to you and you trust Him and give, He will never short change you.

So what! If you have is less and small, throw it to the Kingdom of God. And it will grow!
Praise Him that He is your deliverer, and He will deliver you! Praise Him that He is your Provider, and He will provide you!

Let's prosper together, He is not taking money from us, He is not taker, but giver, that's why He give us Life! If you want to see the Axehead float, you must sow something! During the time of Nehemiah the Jews are in debt, cause they neglect the House of God in Tithe and these and that.

We may live in a heartland area and church in a heart land area, but we are going to multi millionaire in the future and we are not building a heart land area, but in the market place!

2 Kings chapter 4 verse 1-2
1 Now there was a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets that cried out to E·li´sha, saying: “Your servant, my husband, is dead; and you yourself well know that your own servant had continually feared Jehovah, and the creditor himself has come to take both my children for his slaves.”
2 At this E·li´sha said to her: “What shall I do for you? Tell me; what do you have in the house?” To this she said: “Your maidservant has nothing at all in the house but a spouted jar of oil.”

You can serve God and still bankrupt, why? Because there is no planning. In verse 2 she despise and say she only left a Jar of Oil. Elijah then go on and say, don't use for yourself, sell for the use of Kingdom of God. Let's look at verse 7

2 Kings chapter 4 verse 7
7 So she came in and told the man of the [true] God, and he now said: “Go, sell the oil and pay off your debts, and you [and] your sons should live from what is left.”

Pastor give us a list of those things we owe like:

Bank Loan
Bank Overdrafts
Credit Card Debts
Hired Purchases
Home Mortgages
Loans From Family
Loans From Friends
Others_________

If any one of these thing you are under in, pray to God and say :
"God, set me free from these debts" come on, be sincere and serious, and God will help you.

If Moses have the staff and can split the sea, and if the little boy have 5 loaf and 2 fish can let Jesus multiply to feed the 5000 men, then I believe the little things you have also can sow into the Kingdom of God and multiply! Amen! Praise the Lord!
