...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.887
Joseph prince: five hundred verses
00:00:13.123 --> 00:00:14.491
On prayer in the bible,
00:00:14.591 --> 00:00:17.227
But over two thousand verses on money.
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:20.363
God wants his people to steward the finances he gives them.
00:00:20.463 --> 00:00:22.332
He doesn't want them greedy, he doesn't want them covetous,
00:00:26.536 --> 00:00:30.340
He doesn't want them with a love of money.
00:00:30.340 --> 00:00:33.376
But he wants them filled with the love of god,
00:00:33.376 --> 00:00:35.545
But use money for his glory.
00:00:35.545 --> 00:00:38.148
Always remember how you see the lord
00:00:38.148 --> 00:00:42.318
Is how you will steward your money,
00:00:42.318 --> 00:00:46.356
Whether you be generous or not.
00:00:46.356 --> 00:00:49.259
How you see the lord is how you will steward
00:00:49.259 --> 00:00:52.061
Your money.
00:00:52.061 --> 00:00:53.396
But the bible has a prosperity with a purpose teaching.
00:00:53.396 --> 00:00:57.133
You know why god gave israel,
00:00:57.133 --> 00:00:59.068
When they left egypt, they're all healthy
00:00:59.068 --> 00:01:03.006
And not only that, they're loaded down
00:01:03.006 --> 00:01:04.541
With gold and silver, you know why?
00:01:04.541 --> 00:01:06.009
It's not for their own self,
00:01:06.009 --> 00:01:07.644
It's to build god his tabernacle.
00:01:07.644 --> 00:01:09.979
But god doesn't want prosperity
00:01:09.979 --> 00:01:11.481
To be something for me, myself, o jimmy,
00:01:11.481 --> 00:01:15.885
Gimme, gimme, gimme.
00:01:15.885 --> 00:01:17.887
He doesn't want this me-centeredness,
00:01:17.887 --> 00:01:21.658
This selfishness, this avarice,
00:01:21.658 --> 00:01:24.194
Which is love of money, greediness.
00:01:24.194 --> 00:01:26.696
He wants you to be a good steward.
00:01:26.696 --> 00:01:30.333
God says, "you shall remember the lord your god,
00:01:30.333 --> 00:01:32.202
For it is he who gives you power to get wealth
00:01:32.202 --> 00:01:36.439
That he may establish his covenant."
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.175
Male announcer: what if this is the moment
00:01:39.242 --> 00:01:40.710
God is using to reach you?
00:01:40.710 --> 00:01:43.246
What if this is an invitation to live
00:01:43.246 --> 00:01:44.814
The life god has called you to live?
00:01:44.814 --> 00:01:47.417
In today's message, joseph unveils
00:01:47.417 --> 00:01:49.519
Scriptural truths and divine secrets
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.854
On how to live the overcoming life.
00:01:51.854 --> 00:01:54.324
Joseph prince: the bible says that in the last days,
00:01:54.324 --> 00:01:56.359
God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh.
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.329
So we are looking forward for a worldwide revival,
00:01:59.329 --> 00:02:01.531
Hallelujah, amen?
00:02:01.531 --> 00:02:03.333
They are ready, people, for the gospel.

00:02:38.468 --> 00:02:41.104
Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
00:02:41.104 --> 00:02:43.506
With today's program.
00:02:43.506 --> 00:02:45.141
Joseph prince: praise the lord. let's go right into god's word.
00:02:45.141 --> 00:02:47.143
In luke 19, verse 1: "jesus entered jericho
00:02:47.143 --> 00:02:52.115
And made his way through the town."
00:02:52.115 --> 00:02:54.951
Jericho is known as the city of the curse.
00:02:54.951 --> 00:02:57.787
Ever since joshua conquered the city,
00:02:57.787 --> 00:03:00.189
Joshua pronounced a curse upon the city, the entire city.
00:03:00.189 --> 00:03:04.193
And "there was a man there named zacchaeus.
00:03:04.193 --> 00:03:08.164
He was the chief tax collector in the region,"
00:03:08.164 --> 00:03:10.500
Not just a tax collector, he was the chief tax collector,
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:13.670
"and he had become very rich."
00:03:13.670 --> 00:03:15.872
Probably at this time, the lord has been working
00:03:15.872 --> 00:03:18.408
On his heart.
00:03:18.408 --> 00:03:19.742
He's feeling conviction over his sins,
00:03:19.742 --> 00:03:22.111
And he heard that jesus was coming to town.
00:03:22.111 --> 00:03:26.049
Now, how many know that our whole entire earth
00:03:26.049 --> 00:03:29.352
Is like a city of the curse?
00:03:29.352 --> 00:03:32.121
This earth is fallen, people.
00:03:32.121 --> 00:03:34.891
No matter how we try to improve this earth,
00:03:34.891 --> 00:03:36.926
It has fallen, amen?
00:03:36.926 --> 00:03:39.429
We're gonna have problem with the climate,
00:03:39.429 --> 00:03:41.064
Problem with the soil, problem with--
00:03:41.064 --> 00:03:43.132
And it will always be there,
00:03:43.132 --> 00:03:44.634
Earthquakes, famines, it will always be there
00:03:44.634 --> 00:03:46.903
Because god didn't create the earth to be like this.
00:03:46.903 --> 00:03:51.774
God didn't create men to grow old, decay,
00:03:51.774 --> 00:03:56.679
Suffer disease, and then death.
00:03:56.679 --> 00:04:00.350
That is never god's heart.
00:04:00.350 --> 00:04:02.285
It's never in god's heart.
00:04:02.285 --> 00:04:04.220
And that's why in heaven today,
00:04:04.220 --> 00:04:05.588
If god can transport you right now to heaven,
00:04:05.588 --> 00:04:07.590
A literal place, not a place that's mystical,
00:04:07.590 --> 00:04:10.960
A real place, you will see people
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.329
That are all young.
00:04:13.329 --> 00:04:14.964
Even the lord himself is young, because there's no curse there.
00:04:14.964 --> 00:04:18.201
Every place, all over the place
00:04:18.201 --> 00:04:19.602
Down there, you will see people are happy,
00:04:19.602 --> 00:04:22.605
No one is depressed, no one is sad.
00:04:22.605 --> 00:04:25.041
No one commits suicide in heaven.
00:04:25.041 --> 00:04:27.243
I think the normal-- of a believer
00:04:27.243 --> 00:04:30.346
Who is walking in the spirit is joy, is joy.
00:04:30.346 --> 00:04:33.883
And joy is not happenings that happen to happen
00:04:33.883 --> 00:04:36.419
The way you want it to happen, so you are happy, no?
00:04:36.419 --> 00:04:40.656
Joy is in spite of what is happening around you,
00:04:40.656 --> 00:04:42.859
You are joyful.
00:04:42.859 --> 00:04:45.128
You don't look to the lights to get your joy, amen.
00:04:45.128 --> 00:04:49.932
So, we are so connected to the point that we look
00:04:49.932 --> 00:04:53.603
For affirmation.
00:04:53.603 --> 00:04:55.738
We are such a me generation, all right?
00:04:55.738 --> 00:04:58.775
We have, me, fee, we fee, it's all about me,
00:04:58.775 --> 00:05:06.115
You know, we wanna--
00:05:06.115 --> 00:05:08.117
In the previous generation we don't have that,
00:05:08.117 --> 00:05:10.219
But now it's like we want the affirmation,
00:05:10.219 --> 00:05:13.322
We want people to see what we are doing,
00:05:13.322 --> 00:05:15.224
We want them to see we are eating char kway teow.
00:05:15.224 --> 00:05:17.827
We are doing this now.
00:05:17.827 --> 00:05:19.529
I'm now in the toilet, sitting on the toilet, you know?
00:05:19.529 --> 00:05:22.365
We are--it's, i mean, in our minds we really think
00:05:22.365 --> 00:05:25.668
That people really bother, you know,
00:05:25.668 --> 00:05:27.804
When actually a lot of people don't care, amen.
00:05:27.804 --> 00:05:30.940
So we cannot get our affirmation from people.
00:05:30.940 --> 00:05:33.376
Jesus shared a story.
00:05:33.376 --> 00:05:34.710
So before i share the story with you, i just want you
00:05:34.710 --> 00:05:36.312
To know that he shared a story because the bible says,
00:05:36.312 --> 00:05:39.415
"to correct the impression that the kingdom of god
00:05:39.415 --> 00:05:42.785
Will begin right away."
00:05:42.785 --> 00:05:44.220
So what's the story?
00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:45.555
Let's follow the story right now.
00:05:45.555 --> 00:05:47.123
"he said, 'a nobleman was called away
00:05:47.123 --> 00:05:49.125
To a distant empire to be crowned king
00:05:49.125 --> 00:05:52.495
And then return.'"
00:05:52.495 --> 00:05:54.564
Now, who is this noble man who went to a faraway country?
00:05:54.564 --> 00:05:57.834
Jesus, all right?
00:05:57.834 --> 00:06:00.002
He'll go, be crowned king, and then return.
00:06:00.002 --> 00:06:02.071
"'before he left, he called together
00:06:02.071 --> 00:06:03.739
Ten of his servants and divided among them
00:06:03.739 --> 00:06:06.809
Ten pounds of silver.'"
00:06:06.809 --> 00:06:08.978
Say, "ten pounds."
00:06:08.978 --> 00:06:11.013
Now, 1 pound of silver is 3 months' wage.
00:06:11.013 --> 00:06:15.852
How many months' wage, 1 pound?
00:06:15.852 --> 00:06:17.587
Three months' wage, three months' salary, okay?
00:06:17.587 --> 00:06:21.224
So he divided 10 pounds among 10 servants.
00:06:21.224 --> 00:06:24.227
Each one has a 3-month salary, 1 pound.
00:06:24.227 --> 00:06:26.729
"he," and what did he say?
00:06:26.729 --> 00:06:28.064
'invest this for me while i'm gone.'"
00:06:28.064 --> 00:06:30.199
Straight away that tells you
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.567
He's not gonna become king in jerusalem just yet.
00:06:31.567 --> 00:06:36.305
He wants us to invest while he's gone.
00:06:36.305 --> 00:06:40.776
The old king james says: "occupy till i come."
00:06:40.776 --> 00:06:44.013
He says, "invest, invest," say "invest," "till i come."
00:06:44.013 --> 00:06:48.751
Now, before we go on,
00:06:48.751 --> 00:06:50.086
Let me just read a story first, okay?
00:06:50.086 --> 00:06:51.587
Because it's a story that jesus himself shared.
00:06:51.587 --> 00:06:54.824
A person who actually has the sorrow
00:06:54.824 --> 00:06:58.127
And the burden of the cross as a man weighing heavy on him
00:06:58.127 --> 00:07:02.431
And the father gave him a feast by saving zacchaeus.
00:07:02.431 --> 00:07:06.068
That was a feast for him.
00:07:06.068 --> 00:07:07.403
And then of all the things he can talk about,
00:07:07.403 --> 00:07:08.838
He can talk about big, big stuff like resurrection and all that,
00:07:08.838 --> 00:07:11.507
He talked about how to handle money.
00:07:11.507 --> 00:07:14.110
Whoa. on his last trip.
00:07:14.110 --> 00:07:17.280
He says each one of the ten had 1 pound each, okay?
00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:23.085
Three months' wage to invest with, all right, invest.
00:07:23.085 --> 00:07:28.157
Drop down.
00:07:28.157 --> 00:07:29.492
"but his people hated him and sent a delegation
00:07:29.492 --> 00:07:31.694
After him to say, 'we do not want him
00:07:31.694 --> 00:07:33.796
To be our king.'
00:07:33.796 --> 00:07:35.264
After he was crowned king, he returned and called in
00:07:35.264 --> 00:07:38.801
The servants to whom he had given the money.
00:07:38.801 --> 00:07:42.171
He wanted to find out what their profits were."
00:07:42.171 --> 00:07:44.707
I want you to know that every word you're reading
00:07:44.707 --> 00:07:46.075
Is from jesus.
00:07:46.075 --> 00:07:48.611
He just opened the eyes of the blind.
00:07:48.611 --> 00:07:50.813
He just saved zacchaeus.
00:07:50.813 --> 00:07:52.448
In the same breath, the next breath,
00:07:52.448 --> 00:07:55.117
He starts sharing about this story.
00:07:55.117 --> 00:07:57.853
So the king came back and the king asked all of them
00:07:57.853 --> 00:08:00.122
How they invested and what their profits were.
00:08:00.122 --> 00:08:03.192
And the bible says: "the first servant reported,
00:08:03.192 --> 00:08:06.495
'master, i invested your money
00:08:06.495 --> 00:08:08.397
And made ten times the original amount!'"
00:08:08.397 --> 00:08:12.768
So that 1 pound became 10 pounds, right?
00:08:12.768 --> 00:08:17.273
"'well done!' the king exclaimed.
00:08:17.273 --> 00:08:18.975
'you are a good servant.
00:08:18.975 --> 00:08:20.576
You have been faithful
00:08:20.576 --> 00:08:21.911
With the little i entrusted to you,
00:08:21.911 --> 00:08:23.679
So you'll be governor of ten cities as your reward.'"
00:08:23.679 --> 00:08:27.149
Let me tell you this, okay, church?
00:08:27.149 --> 00:08:29.118
We're all saved.
00:08:29.118 --> 00:08:30.853
We're all saved by grace, thank god for that,
00:08:30.853 --> 00:08:34.457
But our positions in heaven will be different.
00:08:34.457 --> 00:08:37.860
When jesus comes and rule on the earth,
00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:39.495
Not just in heaven, sorry, the whole,
00:08:39.495 --> 00:08:41.664
Not just heaven, but the whole earth
00:08:41.664 --> 00:08:43.165
Will be a new heaven, new earth.
00:08:43.165 --> 00:08:45.067
We'll be ruling on earth.
00:08:45.067 --> 00:08:47.336
And there'll be those who are ruling over five cities,
00:08:47.336 --> 00:08:49.672
There'll be those with ten cities.
00:08:49.672 --> 00:08:51.140
It all depends on their stewardship
00:08:51.140 --> 00:08:53.142
And based on their faithfulness.
00:08:53.142 --> 00:08:55.878
So we are all god's sons, but our faithfulness
00:08:55.878 --> 00:08:58.848
Will determine, amen, when we are good stewards
00:08:58.848 --> 00:09:02.985
Over what he has given us, it will determine
00:09:02.985 --> 00:09:05.054
Our position forever,
00:09:05.054 --> 00:09:10.426
Okay?
00:09:10.426 --> 00:09:11.761
"so you'll be governor of ten cities
00:09:11.761 --> 00:09:14.397
As your reward."
00:09:14.397 --> 00:09:16.265
So, there's a ten.
00:09:16.265 --> 00:09:17.600
"and the next servant reported, 'master, i invested your money
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:21.037
And i made five times the original amount.'
00:09:21.037 --> 00:09:24.240
'well done!' the king said.
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:25.574
'you'll be governor over five cities.'"
00:09:25.574 --> 00:09:30.146
The next servant came.
00:09:30.146 --> 00:09:31.714
"but the third servant brought back
00:09:31.714 --> 00:09:33.315
Only the original amount of money and said,
00:09:33.315 --> 00:09:35.885
'master, i hid your money and i kept it safe.'"
00:09:35.885 --> 00:09:39.522
It is still 1 pound.
00:09:39.522 --> 00:09:45.528
Kept it safe.
00:09:42.992 --> 00:09:48.164
"'i was afraid because you are a hard man to deal with.'"
00:09:48.164 --> 00:09:51.267
Now, is that true?
00:09:51.267 --> 00:09:52.601
Is the lord a hard man?
00:09:52.601 --> 00:09:54.537
Always remember how you see the lord
00:09:54.537 --> 00:09:58.374
Is how you will steward your money,
00:09:58.374 --> 00:10:02.611
Whether you be generous or not.
00:10:02.611 --> 00:10:05.681
How you see the lord is how you will steward
00:10:05.681 --> 00:10:08.117
Your money, okay?
00:10:08.117 --> 00:10:13.522
"'i was afraid because you're a hard man to deal with,
00:10:13.522 --> 00:10:15.858
Taking what isn't yours
00:10:15.858 --> 00:10:17.193
And harvesting crops you didn't plant.'
00:10:17.193 --> 00:10:19.895
The lord said, 'you wicked servant!'
00:10:19.895 --> 00:10:21.497
The king roared.
00:10:21.497 --> 00:10:22.832
'your own words condemn you.
00:10:22.832 --> 00:10:24.500
If you knew that i'm a hard man--'"
00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:26.168
He didn't say, "i'm a hard man."
00:10:26.168 --> 00:10:28.204
He's not a hard man, we know that.
00:10:28.204 --> 00:10:30.072
But "'if you knew that i was a hard man
00:10:30.072 --> 00:10:32.341
Who takes what isn't mine
00:10:32.341 --> 00:10:34.009
And harvest crops i didn't plant,
00:10:34.009 --> 00:10:36.011
Why didn't you deposit my money in the bank,'" right?
00:10:36.011 --> 00:10:41.016
"'at least i could have,'" what?
00:10:41.016 --> 00:10:42.585
"'at least i could have gotten some interest on it.'"
00:10:42.585 --> 00:10:47.423
Now, i just want to show you something.
00:10:47.423 --> 00:10:48.758
Look up here.
00:10:48.758 --> 00:10:50.092
In the lord's mind, putting money in the bank
00:10:50.092 --> 00:10:54.430
Is the least, not the highest.
00:10:54.430 --> 00:10:59.135
It's the worst.
00:10:59.135 --> 00:11:01.537
I'm gonna share some wisdom here with all of you.
00:11:01.537 --> 00:11:03.939
Wisdom shared while on his way to jerusalem,
00:11:03.939 --> 00:11:07.743
He shared this with them.
00:11:07.743 --> 00:11:09.678
Now, "well, pastor prince it's all about--
00:11:09.678 --> 00:11:11.747
It's not about money, pastor prince,
00:11:11.747 --> 00:11:13.082
It's all about faithfulness and--" i know, i know.
00:11:13.082 --> 00:11:16.752
That is the other, you know, wisdom--let me show you wisdom.
00:11:16.752 --> 00:11:19.989
Show them wisdom.
00:11:19.989 --> 00:11:21.323
Wisdom is this: "disclose to you the secrets of wisdom."
00:11:21.323 --> 00:11:24.160
What are the secrets of wisdom?
00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:25.795
"for true wisdom has two sides."
00:11:25.795 --> 00:11:28.364
The literal and the spiritual.
00:11:28.364 --> 00:11:31.433
Yes, for a long time, the church talk about spiritual, spiritual,
00:11:31.433 --> 00:11:33.936
Spiritual, but the lord will not use
00:11:33.936 --> 00:11:35.805
An immoral illustration to illustrate true riches.
00:11:35.805 --> 00:11:44.380
He can't use: "a man had ten bunnies,
00:11:44.380 --> 00:11:49.752
And he gave one bunny to one servant."
00:11:49.752 --> 00:11:53.055
No, the lord used money, not bunny.
00:11:53.055 --> 00:12:00.796
So, there is a purpose for this.
00:12:00.796 --> 00:12:02.131
The lord wants his people
00:12:02.131 --> 00:12:03.465
To know how to handle your money.
00:12:03.465 --> 00:12:05.000
Do you know putting money in the bank for us
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.036
Is our first option?
00:12:07.036 --> 00:12:08.838
In the lord's mind, at least--at least.
00:12:08.838 --> 00:12:14.410
It's the least thing you can do.
00:12:14.410 --> 00:12:16.345
God wants his people wise.
00:12:16.345 --> 00:12:18.647
You know, that money you have,
00:12:18.647 --> 00:12:20.216
God wants you to invest it.
00:12:20.216 --> 00:12:24.119
The bible says, "beloved," this is a new testament verse,
00:12:24.119 --> 00:12:26.555
"i wish above all things."
00:12:26.555 --> 00:12:28.724
Think of god talking to you.
00:12:28.724 --> 00:12:30.259
Some people say, "oh, this is john talking."
00:12:30.259 --> 00:12:31.827
Can john say something that is not the will of god
00:12:31.827 --> 00:12:35.064
And call it scripture?
00:12:35.064 --> 00:12:38.100
You can say, the holy spirit through john says,
00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:39.902
"beloved," addressing god's child,
00:12:39.902 --> 00:12:42.404
"i wish above all things
00:12:42.404 --> 00:12:44.106
That you prosper and be in health,
00:12:44.106 --> 00:12:47.610
Even as your soul prospers."
00:12:47.610 --> 00:12:50.112
"oh, pastor prince, that prosperity there
00:12:50.112 --> 00:12:51.747
Is talking about our spiritual prosperity."
00:12:51.747 --> 00:12:54.350
No, no, that's covered in the last part,
00:12:54.350 --> 00:12:55.885
"even as your soul prospers."
00:12:55.885 --> 00:12:57.953
The first part is definitely referring
00:12:57.953 --> 00:12:59.421
To prosperity.
00:12:59.421 --> 00:13:01.257
But god doesn't want prosperity
00:13:01.257 --> 00:13:02.825
To be something for me, myself, o jimmy,
00:13:02.825 --> 00:13:07.196
Gimme, gimme, gimme.
00:13:07.196 --> 00:13:09.298
He doesn't want this me-centeredness,
00:13:09.298 --> 00:13:13.068
This selfishness, this avarice,
00:13:13.068 --> 00:13:15.504
Which is love of money, greediness.
00:13:15.504 --> 00:13:18.173
He wants you to be a good steward.
00:13:18.173 --> 00:13:21.710
God says, "you shall remember the lord your god,
00:13:21.710 --> 00:13:23.612
For it is he who gives you power to get wealth," amen,
00:13:23.612 --> 00:13:29.418
"that he may establish his covenant."
00:13:29.418 --> 00:13:32.254
Why does god want to give his people wealth,
00:13:32.254 --> 00:13:34.356
Power to get wealth?
00:13:34.356 --> 00:13:35.691
"to establish his covenant."
00:13:35.691 --> 00:13:37.893
So every attack the enemy comes against you,
00:13:37.893 --> 00:13:40.863
"you cannot prosper-- you are a--
00:13:40.863 --> 00:13:42.831
Or you're a prosperity gospel person.
00:13:42.831 --> 00:13:44.400
You're a--" it's just to intimidate you.
00:13:44.400 --> 00:13:46.769
They can prosper, but not you.
00:13:46.769 --> 00:13:52.474
Unfortunately, sometimes even the christian voices,
00:13:52.474 --> 00:13:55.611
Leadership that comes against prosperity.
00:13:55.611 --> 00:13:59.615
Now, i understand that the prosperity they come against
00:13:59.615 --> 00:14:01.383
Is the type that i mentioned just now,
00:14:01.383 --> 00:14:03.852
All right, the greediness, avarice, right,
00:14:03.852 --> 00:14:06.855
Money for themselves.
00:14:06.855 --> 00:14:09.291
Then i agree.
00:14:09.291 --> 00:14:11.560
But the bible has a prosperity with a purpose teaching.
00:14:11.560 --> 00:14:17.833
You know why god gave israel,
00:14:17.833 --> 00:14:19.835
When they left egypt, they're all healthy
00:14:19.835 --> 00:14:23.772
And not only that, they're loaded down
00:14:23.772 --> 00:14:25.207
With gold and silver, you know why?
00:14:25.207 --> 00:14:26.809
It's not for their own self,
00:14:26.809 --> 00:14:28.444
It's to build god his tabernacle.
00:14:28.444 --> 00:14:31.313
And the tabernacle is filled with gold and silver, amen.
00:14:31.313 --> 00:14:36.518
The bible says: "jesus went about healing all
00:14:36.518 --> 00:14:38.954
That were oppressed of the devil,
00:14:38.954 --> 00:14:41.056
For god was with him."
00:14:41.056 --> 00:14:42.958
At least, at least give me one place
00:14:42.958 --> 00:14:44.593
In the gospels where jesus looked at someone
00:14:44.593 --> 00:14:46.495
And say, "come here, receive some leprosy.
00:14:46.495 --> 00:14:48.364
Ah, what i do right now, you don't understand,
00:14:48.364 --> 00:14:50.466
But one day you will understand."
00:14:50.466 --> 00:14:54.303
At least, give me one.
00:14:54.303 --> 00:14:56.071
You can't find it.
00:14:56.071 --> 00:14:57.406
Yes, i know there are people still sick.
00:14:57.406 --> 00:14:59.775
I know there are people who are still sick
00:14:59.775 --> 00:15:01.643
In the body of christ,
00:15:01.643 --> 00:15:03.178
But thank god for everyone who's promoting the truth.
00:15:03.178 --> 00:15:06.281
Thank god for everyone telling people
00:15:06.281 --> 00:15:07.649
Reach out for your inheritance.
00:15:07.649 --> 00:15:09.084
Thank god for people reminding the children of god
00:15:09.084 --> 00:15:11.153
That god wants them to be healthy.
00:15:11.153 --> 00:15:13.188
Thank god for them.
00:15:13.188 --> 00:15:14.523
Let's celebrate that and not be angry
00:15:14.523 --> 00:15:16.992
At people preaching that you can be well,
00:15:16.992 --> 00:15:19.294
You can be healed.
00:15:19.294 --> 00:15:23.799
"just like you say, pastor prince,
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:25.567
How about those people who are still sick?"
00:15:25.567 --> 00:15:27.302
I can tell you, how about those people
00:15:27.302 --> 00:15:28.904
Who are still not saved.
00:15:28.904 --> 00:15:31.106
Is it god's will for them not to be saved?
00:15:31.106 --> 00:15:34.743
Likewise, god's will is not always carried out, is it?
00:15:34.743 --> 00:15:38.714
We're still learning.
00:15:38.714 --> 00:15:40.049
In the area of healing, we are still learning,
00:15:40.049 --> 00:15:41.683
But thank god you should be praying
00:15:41.683 --> 00:15:43.018
For your pastor that god gives him more revelation.
00:15:43.018 --> 00:15:45.854
Not criticize, but pray, amen.
00:15:45.854 --> 00:15:49.358
It's to help your children.
00:15:49.358 --> 00:15:50.926
If one of your child next time develops
00:15:50.926 --> 00:15:52.961
An incurable disease, you better thank god
00:15:52.961 --> 00:15:55.297
That there's a revelation in the house
00:15:55.297 --> 00:15:57.499
For that child to receive provision.
00:15:57.499 --> 00:16:00.969
It's amazing how these people who don't believe in healing,
00:16:00.969 --> 00:16:03.672
How fast they change their opinion
00:16:03.672 --> 00:16:05.407
When their child is sick.
00:16:05.407 --> 00:16:06.875
They'll bring, before they even ask god,
00:16:06.875 --> 00:16:08.710
"is this your will for my child to be sick?" never.
00:16:08.710 --> 00:16:11.747
They bring the child straight away to the hospital.
00:16:11.747 --> 00:16:14.550
"what is god's will?" all that, put one side.
00:16:14.550 --> 00:16:17.386
Maybe god wants your child to suffer this, according
00:16:17.386 --> 00:16:20.589
To your theory, but no, straightaway
00:16:20.589 --> 00:16:22.291
They want a father's heart.
00:16:22.291 --> 00:16:24.626
Jesus says if you fathers being natural,
00:16:24.626 --> 00:16:28.464
You know, being evil,
00:16:28.464 --> 00:16:31.100
Know how to give good gifts to your children,
00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:33.035
How much more your father in heaven?
00:16:33.035 --> 00:16:35.838
It's not complicated.
00:16:35.838 --> 00:16:37.806
Yes, we are not for the extreme prosperity,
00:16:37.806 --> 00:16:41.276
You know, the me-centeredness,
00:16:41.276 --> 00:16:43.612
The greediness, the avarice, the love of money,
00:16:43.612 --> 00:16:47.850
We're not for that, amen?
00:16:47.850 --> 00:16:50.085
Are you all learning? is this helping you?
00:16:50.085 --> 00:16:55.457
The secrets of wisdom is always double.
00:16:55.457 --> 00:16:59.328
There's a truth behind the truth.
00:16:59.328 --> 00:17:00.662
Another thing we did many years ago was
00:17:00.662 --> 00:17:02.865
When joseph was a slave in egypt, pharaoh had a dream,
00:17:02.865 --> 00:17:06.735
A double dream, and i'll close with this.
00:17:06.735 --> 00:17:08.871
He had a dream where he dreamt about 14 cows:
00:17:08.871 --> 00:17:14.376
Seven fat, seven very scrawny ones, amen?
00:17:14.376 --> 00:17:18.514
And then he had another dream where there
00:17:18.514 --> 00:17:20.916
Were seven scrawny grains of head
00:17:20.916 --> 00:17:23.085
And seven full grains of head.
00:17:23.085 --> 00:17:25.554
And he didn't understand the dream.
00:17:25.554 --> 00:17:28.757
And then one of his cupbearers remembered that when he was
00:17:28.757 --> 00:17:31.560
In prison, there was a young man
00:17:31.560 --> 00:17:33.462
By the name of joseph, nice name, i like that name.
00:17:33.462 --> 00:17:37.099
And he interpreted dreams.
00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:39.434
So he summoned him and pharaoh said to him,
00:17:39.434 --> 00:17:42.137
"i understand you can interpret dreams."
00:17:42.137 --> 00:17:43.605
He says, "dreams belong to god."
00:17:43.605 --> 00:17:47.276
You see the humility?
00:17:47.276 --> 00:17:48.610
He knows where it comes from, god.
00:17:48.610 --> 00:17:50.279
And he said, "tell me your dream."
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:51.647
So the pharaoh told him the dream,
00:17:51.647 --> 00:17:53.348
And he told pharaoh there'll be seven years.
00:17:53.348 --> 00:17:55.083
Both dreams are one, they're the same.
00:17:55.083 --> 00:17:59.121
There'll be seven years of plenty.
00:17:59.121 --> 00:18:01.523
The ground will bring forth plentifully,
00:18:01.523 --> 00:18:03.592
There'll be a rich, abundant harvest for seven years,
00:18:03.592 --> 00:18:10.132
And then there'll come seven years of famine.
00:18:10.132 --> 00:18:13.902
By the way, it's documented in egyptian history,
00:18:13.902 --> 00:18:16.939
The seven years of famine.
00:18:16.939 --> 00:18:19.007
And then he says this, now this part
00:18:19.007 --> 00:18:21.210
Is not in the dream.
00:18:21.210 --> 00:18:22.778
But you look at the wisdom of joseph.
00:18:22.778 --> 00:18:24.213
He told pharaoh, "pharaoh, find
00:18:24.213 --> 00:18:26.215
An intelligent and wise man to collect,
00:18:26.215 --> 00:18:31.920
To tell your officers to collect one-fifth of the produce
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:37.526
During the seven years of plenty."
00:18:37.526 --> 00:18:38.860
One-fifth is how many? twenty percent, right?
00:18:38.860 --> 00:18:42.531
And it says that, "and store it during the good years."
00:18:42.531 --> 00:18:46.702
You know the story.
00:18:46.702 --> 00:18:48.036
True enough, seven years of plenty came,
00:18:48.036 --> 00:18:49.371
They stored the 20%,
00:18:49.371 --> 00:18:50.706
And then seven years of famine came,
00:18:50.706 --> 00:18:52.574
They opened up the storehouse
00:18:52.574 --> 00:18:54.843
And pharaoh and egypt became very wealthy
00:18:54.843 --> 00:18:59.982
Because of joseph's wisdom.
00:18:59.982 --> 00:19:02.284
What are you doing with that in your bank?
00:19:02.284 --> 00:19:05.821
Ask god now, be very careful.
00:19:05.821 --> 00:19:07.556
I need to give you a caveat.
00:19:07.556 --> 00:19:09.324
Don't rush for the get rich quick scheme, okay?
00:19:09.324 --> 00:19:14.796
Don't rush for the-- ask god for wisdom,
00:19:14.796 --> 00:19:17.366
Ask god where to invest your money
00:19:17.366 --> 00:19:19.034
For your children and all that.
00:19:19.034 --> 00:19:20.936
But i'm just saying, the lord says
00:19:20.936 --> 00:19:22.271
That putting your money in the bank is the least.
00:19:22.271 --> 00:19:25.140
At least, at least, okay?
00:19:25.140 --> 00:19:27.909
But don't get into-- and also you want
00:19:27.909 --> 00:19:29.544
To do business in church.
00:19:29.544 --> 00:19:31.680
Remember this: do everything in black and white.
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:35.917
"oh, he's a brother in christ."
00:19:35.917 --> 00:19:37.252
Black and white!
00:19:37.252 --> 00:19:39.988
I've seen close relationships and friendships
00:19:39.988 --> 00:19:42.724
Break because of money.
00:19:42.724 --> 00:19:45.560
So just tell them, because i love you
00:19:45.560 --> 00:19:46.895
And we are friends, let's do it properly.
00:19:46.895 --> 00:19:51.066
Or else don't lend.
00:19:51.066 --> 00:19:54.936
Weh lah.
00:19:54.936 --> 00:19:57.806
"preach it, pastor prince, hallelujah," amen?
00:19:57.806 --> 00:20:01.910
And remember, you're gonna rent your house
00:20:01.910 --> 00:20:04.946
To your friend, "my best friend,"
00:20:04.946 --> 00:20:06.548
And all that, that kind of thing.
00:20:06.548 --> 00:20:07.883
I know, i've seen it before, same story.
00:20:07.883 --> 00:20:09.751
You wanna do it, it's okay, but remember this,
00:20:09.751 --> 00:20:11.553
One of the best ways to break a friendship
00:20:11.553 --> 00:20:13.855
And all that is do not have any agreement
00:20:13.855 --> 00:20:17.259
And then coming together and stay together.
00:20:17.259 --> 00:20:18.860
Even traveling together, let me just tell you this,
00:20:18.860 --> 00:20:20.696
For holidays.
00:20:20.696 --> 00:20:23.332
Just remember, before you go,
00:20:23.332 --> 00:20:24.666
Talk to your wife, say that we are going
00:20:24.666 --> 00:20:26.201
For a holiday with them, okay?
00:20:26.201 --> 00:20:27.536
You gotta bite your tongue, i gotta bite my tongue.
00:20:27.536 --> 00:20:29.805
Remind me, i remind you, okay?
00:20:29.805 --> 00:20:31.807
I'm telling you, you gotta do this.
00:20:31.807 --> 00:20:36.645
Weh lah.
00:20:36.645 --> 00:20:38.613
"preach it, pastor prince, hallelujah, amen," amen.
00:20:38.613 --> 00:20:41.983
Is this helping you?
00:20:41.983 --> 00:20:44.086
Amen, i know, i know, i'm not saying you cannot go
00:20:44.086 --> 00:20:45.987
As friends and all that, but just remember,
00:20:45.987 --> 00:20:48.523
Just remember, you will see the good,
00:20:48.523 --> 00:20:49.891
The bad, and the ugly.
00:20:49.891 --> 00:20:51.727
You wanna eat this
00:20:51.727 --> 00:20:53.061
And this person wanna go down here.
00:20:53.061 --> 00:20:54.396
My wife wanna eat down there,
00:20:54.396 --> 00:20:55.731
But you wanna go down here, you know what?
00:20:55.731 --> 00:20:57.532
You know, it's best y'all go your own way.
00:20:57.532 --> 00:21:03.572
One of the best ways to break a friendship.
00:21:03.572 --> 00:21:07.876
So, there's a word of wisdom in the book of proverbs.
00:21:07.876 --> 00:21:09.878
It says: "let your foot be seldom
00:21:09.878 --> 00:21:12.147
In your neighbor's house, lest he grow wary of you
00:21:12.147 --> 00:21:14.983
And he hate you."
00:21:14.983 --> 00:21:17.185
You know, is the book of proverbs,
00:21:17.185 --> 00:21:18.520
Book of wisdom, amen.
00:21:18.520 --> 00:21:20.355
Don't outwear your welcome, amen.
00:21:20.355 --> 00:21:23.325
Don't always go to your neighbor's house,
00:21:23.325 --> 00:21:25.660
Lest he get wary of you, get familiar with you, amen?
00:21:25.660 --> 00:21:30.198
"why are you saying all this, pastor prince?"
00:21:30.198 --> 00:21:31.533
Because jesus on his way to jerusalem, all right,
00:21:31.533 --> 00:21:35.237
Talked about this parable.
00:21:35.237 --> 00:21:36.571
Isn't it amazing that the lord has
00:21:36.571 --> 00:21:38.006
A presence of mind to even talk about
00:21:38.006 --> 00:21:39.574
Practical things to help his people?
00:21:39.574 --> 00:21:42.544
Have you been blessed?
00:21:42.544 --> 00:21:44.279
Give him praise, hallelujah.
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:45.614
Thank you, jesus, amen?
00:21:45.614 --> 00:21:48.116
Every head bowed, every eye closed
00:21:48.116 --> 00:21:49.451
All across this place right now.
00:21:49.451 --> 00:21:51.453
Thank you, father in heaven.
00:21:51.453 --> 00:21:52.921
Give you praise, glory, and honor.
00:21:52.921 --> 00:21:54.256
Think about it.
00:21:54.256 --> 00:21:55.590
Five hundred verses on prayer in the bible,
00:21:55.590 --> 00:21:59.561
But over two thousand verses on money.
00:21:59.561 --> 00:22:02.697
God wants his people to steward the finances he gives them.
00:22:02.697 --> 00:22:08.870
He doesn't want them greedy, he doesn't want them covetous,
00:22:08.870 --> 00:22:12.774
He doesn't want them with a love of money.
00:22:12.774 --> 00:22:15.744
But he want them filled with the love of god,
00:22:15.744 --> 00:22:17.846
But use money for his glory.
00:22:17.846 --> 00:22:20.515
Bless humanity,
00:22:20.515 --> 00:22:22.350
Finance the gospel of jesus christ, amen.
00:22:22.350 --> 00:22:25.554
Invest in materials that give you revelation
00:22:25.554 --> 00:22:29.357
About jesus.
00:22:29.357 --> 00:22:31.092
Use that money and bless your family,
00:22:31.092 --> 00:22:33.094
Use money, love people.
00:22:33.094 --> 00:22:35.530
Never use people and love money.
00:22:35.530 --> 00:22:39.768

With the blessings of deuteronomy 28,
00:23:22.577 --> 00:23:25.447
With the blessings of father abraham,
00:23:25.447 --> 00:23:27.849
Blessed going in, blessed going out,
00:23:27.849 --> 00:23:30.218
Blessed in all that you touch, blessed in your workplace,
00:23:30.218 --> 00:23:33.388
Blessed in your storehouses.
00:23:33.388 --> 00:23:35.757
And i pray in jesus's name the lord grant you
00:23:35.757 --> 00:23:38.093
Wisdom to know where and how to invest.
00:23:38.093 --> 00:23:43.598
That you will not hear the voices of people
00:23:43.598 --> 00:23:45.567
That are out to get your money in a quick way, but father,
00:23:45.567 --> 00:23:50.272
In jesus's name, grant them the discernment
00:23:50.272 --> 00:23:52.474
And the wisdom to be at the right place
00:23:52.474 --> 00:23:55.343
At the right time, hearing the right opportunity
00:23:55.343 --> 00:23:58.179
With the right investment,
00:23:58.179 --> 00:23:59.814
And i pray, father, you'll prosper them,
00:23:59.814 --> 00:24:02.050
Even with a prosperity with a purpose.
00:24:02.050 --> 00:24:04.786
And father, we are not, we're not ashamed, lord,
00:24:04.786 --> 00:24:07.322
To hear the word "prosperity."
00:24:07.322 --> 00:24:09.324
We know it is a bible word, but not prosperity
00:24:09.324 --> 00:24:12.661
For our own greediness, lord, and covetousness, lord,
00:24:12.661 --> 00:24:16.965
But prosperity to serve you.
00:24:16.965 --> 00:24:19.768
Even as the gold and the silver
00:24:19.768 --> 00:24:21.102
Of the children of israel was to serve and build
00:24:21.102 --> 00:24:22.704
The tabernacle, it is to serve you, lord.
00:24:22.704 --> 00:24:26.041
To bring glory to your name.
00:24:26.041 --> 00:24:29.244
Father, protect everyone under the sound of my voice
00:24:29.244 --> 00:24:31.813
Throughout this coming week.
00:24:31.813 --> 00:24:33.148
Grant your angels to keep charge over them.
00:24:33.148 --> 00:24:35.650
Keep sickness and disease far from them,
00:24:35.650 --> 00:24:38.253
And prosper their way, father,
00:24:38.253 --> 00:24:39.588
Make the crooked places straight.
00:24:39.588 --> 00:24:41.323
If the enemy has set up something, lord,
00:24:41.323 --> 00:24:43.191
Against any one of them,
00:24:43.191 --> 00:24:44.526
I pray to you foul up, lord, the plans of the enemy
00:24:44.526 --> 00:24:46.761
And make the crooked places straight
00:24:46.761 --> 00:24:48.697
And protect them and their children,
00:24:48.697 --> 00:24:50.899
Their entire family, from every harm, danger,
00:24:50.899 --> 00:24:53.935
And from the power of the evil one,
00:24:53.935 --> 00:24:55.770
In jesus's name.
00:24:55.770 --> 00:24:58.006
And all the people said, amen.
00:24:58.006 --> 00:25:00.475
God bless you.
00:25:00.475 --> 00:25:01.943

00:25:17.125 --> 00:25:20.095
Female: 2022, i was diagnosed with cancer.
00:25:21.062 --> 00:25:25.934
I had a lump in my breast.
00:25:25.934 --> 00:25:28.603
They had diagnosed it as a stage 4.
00:25:28.603 --> 00:25:30.538
Well, the cancer had spread to my liver, my bone,
00:25:30.538 --> 00:25:33.808
And the breast, of course.
00:25:33.808 --> 00:25:35.844
My husband and i were watching joseph prince one night.
00:25:35.844 --> 00:25:38.480
He called out somebody had a liver disease,
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:41.883
And my husband goes, "look, that's you, stand up."
00:25:41.883 --> 00:25:46.087
And i stood up, we stood up in my living room,
00:25:46.087 --> 00:25:48.990
And he prayed over me about the liver,
00:25:48.990 --> 00:25:52.327
And in november of 2022 i got the report back
00:25:52.327 --> 00:25:57.399
That my liver was healing very, very well.
00:25:57.399 --> 00:26:01.803
In fact, by march it was totally gone,
00:26:01.803 --> 00:26:04.739
And so i have no cancer in me today
00:26:04.739 --> 00:26:07.542
And they released me from all medications
00:26:07.542 --> 00:26:09.611
That i've been taking for two years,
00:26:09.611 --> 00:26:12.013
So i am free from it.
00:26:12.013 --> 00:26:15.784
Thank you, jesus. thank you, jesus.
00:26:15.784 --> 00:26:19.220
Had i have not known about the grace of god
00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:22.323
And this ministry, i don't know where i'd be.
