Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - How God’s Favor Sets You Apart | April 7, 2026
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.887
- Joseph prince: the bible says that potiphar saw
- 00:00:13.022 --> 00:00:16.593
- That the lord was with joseph,
- 00:00:16.726 --> 00:00:18.962
- And all that joseph did, the lord made it to prosper.
- 00:00:19.095 --> 00:00:23.733
- A heathen could see that the lord was with joseph.
- 00:00:23.867 --> 00:00:25.168
- It was a visible token--
- 00:00:28.705 --> 00:00:31.674
- The fact that whatever he does prospers.
- 00:00:31.674 --> 00:00:33.843
- When he steps into the room, there is a peace.
- 00:00:33.843 --> 00:00:36.613
- There's a glory that can be seen on joseph.
- 00:00:36.613 --> 00:00:39.215
- This is gonna happen to you, child of god,
- 00:00:39.215 --> 00:00:41.151
- In the last days, in the days that we're living in.
- 00:00:41.151 --> 00:00:43.486
- Male announcer: ever wondered how you can stay unshakeable
- 00:00:43.486 --> 00:00:45.655
- In seasons of shaking?
- 00:00:45.655 --> 00:00:47.557
- In today's message, joseph prince will reveal
- 00:00:47.557 --> 00:00:50.093
- Powerful truths on why god's people are set apart
- 00:00:50.093 --> 00:00:53.096
- To not just survive but to thrive,
- 00:00:53.096 --> 00:00:55.465
- Even in hard times.
- 00:00:55.465 --> 00:00:56.966
- Joseph's book "faith in times of famine"
- 00:00:56.966 --> 00:00:59.769
- Is packed with even more scripture-based truths
- 00:00:59.769 --> 00:01:01.804
- And insights to help you live unshakable
- 00:01:01.804 --> 00:01:04.607

- And now here's pastor joseph prince
- 00:01:19.422 --> 00:01:21.891
- With today's program.
- 00:01:21.891 --> 00:01:23.226
- Joseph prince: it seems like god
- 00:01:23.226 --> 00:01:24.561
- Is very concerned over you prospering
- 00:01:24.561 --> 00:01:28.198
- In every area of your life,
- 00:01:28.198 --> 00:01:30.200
- And i even shudder to use the word "prosper"
- 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.469
- Because it is so shunned even today by the church world.
- 00:01:33.469 --> 00:01:38.808
- In some places they advocate strongly,
- 00:01:38.808 --> 00:01:40.743
- They're still preaching strongly on it,
- 00:01:40.743 --> 00:01:42.745
- Though i feel that, to a certain extent,
- 00:01:42.745 --> 00:01:44.647
- It has gone to an extreme where it's just focus on
- 00:01:44.647 --> 00:01:48.484
- The material and the financial,
- 00:01:48.484 --> 00:01:50.753
- But still the word prosper is in the bible.
- 00:01:50.753 --> 00:01:55.525
- The hebrew word is "saleah."
- 00:01:55.525 --> 00:01:58.161
- And in the english, we say "prosper."
- 00:01:58.161 --> 00:02:01.664
- Every time it appears "prosper" or "prosperity"
- 00:02:01.664 --> 00:02:04.100
- Or "prosperous" in the old testament,
- 00:02:04.100 --> 00:02:06.703
- It is always saleah.
- 00:02:06.703 --> 00:02:08.905
- And there's something that--
- 00:02:08.905 --> 00:02:10.707
- There is a church world out there
- 00:02:10.707 --> 00:02:12.041
- That is very quick to say
- 00:02:12.041 --> 00:02:13.376
- You are preaching the prosperity gospel,
- 00:02:13.376 --> 00:02:15.878
- And i'm jealous over the gospel.
- 00:02:15.878 --> 00:02:18.248
- I said i'm jealous over the gospel.
- 00:02:18.248 --> 00:02:20.149
- I'm jealous that the people hear the true gospel,
- 00:02:20.149 --> 00:02:23.086
- The gospel of jesus christ, amen?
- 00:02:23.086 --> 00:02:26.456
- It's a prophetic message for our time.
- 00:02:26.456 --> 00:02:29.292
- Number one, it is a dark time, morally.
- 00:02:29.292 --> 00:02:33.930
- In many ways, it's a dark time,
- 00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:37.634
- A time of darkness upon the earth.
- 00:02:37.634 --> 00:02:40.570
- Isaiah 60 tells us, "arise, shine;
- 00:02:40.570 --> 00:02:43.906
- For your light has come!
- 00:02:43.906 --> 00:02:45.241
- And the glory of the lord is risen upon you."
- 00:02:45.241 --> 00:02:47.210
- Straight away, i just want to say this:
- 00:02:47.210 --> 00:02:48.611
- To those who subscribe to the interpretation
- 00:02:48.611 --> 00:02:51.748
- That this is referring to the millennium,
- 00:02:51.748 --> 00:02:54.117
- There is a millennium coming where christ
- 00:02:54.117 --> 00:02:56.219
- Will rule on earth,
- 00:02:56.219 --> 00:02:57.754
- And christians don't have to be hiding
- 00:02:57.754 --> 00:02:59.856
- Their faith anymore, feel ostracized.
- 00:02:59.856 --> 00:03:03.726
- They'll be out there, amen.
- 00:03:03.726 --> 00:03:05.395
- They'll be shining as the stars in the night--
- 00:03:05.395 --> 00:03:09.065
- Amen?--in a world that is still fallen,
- 00:03:09.065 --> 00:03:12.402
- But christ will rule on this earth
- 00:03:12.402 --> 00:03:13.936
- For one thousand years, the bible tells us.
- 00:03:13.936 --> 00:03:15.705
- That's the millennium,
- 00:03:15.705 --> 00:03:17.040
- But this is not a millennium passage, why?
- 00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:20.643
- Because the bible says the next verse,
- 00:03:20.643 --> 00:03:22.779
- "behold, the darkness shall cover the earth."
- 00:03:22.779 --> 00:03:24.647
- When christ is here, there'll be no more darkness, amen.
- 00:03:24.647 --> 00:03:31.154
- He is the light, and the light has come.
- 00:03:31.154 --> 00:03:33.956
- "arise, shine; for your light has come!"
- 00:03:33.956 --> 00:03:36.826
- And this deep darkness will cover the people.
- 00:03:36.826 --> 00:03:38.861
- "but the lord will arise over you."
- 00:03:38.861 --> 00:03:41.364
- When you see this happening in the world, child of god,
- 00:03:41.364 --> 00:03:44.567
- The lord will arise over you.
- 00:03:44.567 --> 00:03:47.303
- And his glory will be what?
- 00:03:47.303 --> 00:03:49.605
- Seen upon you.
- 00:03:49.605 --> 00:03:51.607
- So it is a glory that is visible,
- 00:03:51.607 --> 00:03:54.444
- A glory that is manifested
- 00:03:54.444 --> 00:03:59.882
- In such a way that everyone can see it.
- 00:03:59.882 --> 00:04:01.851
- The bible says that potiphar saw--
- 00:04:01.851 --> 00:04:05.788
- Potiphar was an egyptian--
- 00:04:05.788 --> 00:04:07.557
- He saw that the lord was with joseph,
- 00:04:07.557 --> 00:04:10.226
- And all that joseph did, the lord made it to prosper.
- 00:04:10.226 --> 00:04:15.631
- So a heathen could see that the lord was with joseph.
- 00:04:15.631 --> 00:04:21.838
- It was a visible token-- amen?--how, we're not told--
- 00:04:21.838 --> 00:04:28.010
- I'm sure that part of it are the results
- 00:04:28.010 --> 00:04:31.647
- Of joseph's work in the field-- bumper crops and all that--
- 00:04:31.647 --> 00:04:37.286
- But even some of his men might have produced that.
- 00:04:37.286 --> 00:04:39.288
- It could be other things.
- 00:04:39.288 --> 00:04:40.623
- The fact that whatever he does prospers.
- 00:04:40.623 --> 00:04:42.225
- When he steps into the room, there is a peace.
- 00:04:42.225 --> 00:04:44.927
- There's a glory that's-- that is--that can be seen
- 00:04:44.927 --> 00:04:47.463
- On joseph.
- 00:04:47.463 --> 00:04:49.399
- And this is gonna happen to you, child of god,
- 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.034
- In the last days, in the days that we're living in.
- 00:04:52.034 --> 00:04:54.337
- "the gentiles will come to your light,
- 00:04:54.337 --> 00:04:55.872
- And kings to the brightness of your rising."
- 00:04:55.872 --> 00:04:58.107
- Something will happen to your family.
- 00:04:58.107 --> 00:04:59.442
- "lift up your eyes all around, and see:
- 00:04:59.442 --> 00:05:00.910
- They all gather together, they come to you;
- 00:05:00.910 --> 00:05:02.512
- Your sons will come from afar."
- 00:05:02.512 --> 00:05:04.147
- The one that's gone astray will come from afar.
- 00:05:04.147 --> 00:05:06.783
- "and your daughters shall be nursed at your side."
- 00:05:06.783 --> 00:05:09.352
- Your daughters-- the one that's gone astray
- 00:05:09.352 --> 00:05:11.187
- Will love to be by your side, amen?
- 00:05:11.187 --> 00:05:14.490
- So there's family reconciliation in these last days.
- 00:05:14.490 --> 00:05:17.427
- "then you shall see and become radiant,"
- 00:05:17.427 --> 00:05:19.295
- Hallelujah, even shine even more, "and your heart
- 00:05:19.295 --> 00:05:22.265
- Shall swell with joy;
- 00:05:22.265 --> 00:05:23.733
- Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
- 00:05:23.733 --> 00:05:26.469
- The wealth of the gentiles shall come to you."
- 00:05:26.469 --> 00:05:31.841
- Truly speaking, the goyim, the gentiles here,
- 00:05:31.841 --> 00:05:34.811
- Refers to the non-jews, but for the child of god,
- 00:05:34.811 --> 00:05:37.880
- It refers to the unbelievers.
- 00:05:37.880 --> 00:05:40.316
- Their wealth will come to you.
- 00:05:40.316 --> 00:05:42.952
- When darkness covers the earth--when?
- 00:05:42.952 --> 00:05:44.754
- When darkness covers the earth.
- 00:05:44.754 --> 00:05:46.722
- So is there such a time in the old testament?
- 00:05:46.722 --> 00:05:49.158
- Because the bible tells us: whatever we read
- 00:05:49.158 --> 00:05:51.694
- In the old testament is not history past.
- 00:05:51.694 --> 00:05:55.131
- It's actually history past that will be reproduced
- 00:05:55.131 --> 00:06:02.438
- Because that-- ecclesiastes says it like this:
- 00:06:02.438 --> 00:06:04.807
- That which was is that which will be.
- 00:06:04.807 --> 00:06:08.878
- All history repeats itself, amen?
- 00:06:08.878 --> 00:06:11.814
- So even the people of god, god is saying,
- 00:06:11.814 --> 00:06:13.816
- "study the life of joseph because it'll be reproduced
- 00:06:13.816 --> 00:06:16.486
- In your life."
- 00:06:16.486 --> 00:06:17.820
- All these things happen to them as what?
- 00:06:17.820 --> 00:06:19.822
- Examples.
- 00:06:19.822 --> 00:06:21.557
- "tupos" in the greek--types.
- 00:06:21.557 --> 00:06:23.960
- All of them happen.
- 00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:25.328
- We might not apply exactly what they do,
- 00:06:25.328 --> 00:06:27.497
- But the principle of what they are doing
- 00:06:27.497 --> 00:06:29.899
- Corresponds to us.
- 00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:32.001
- And everything has a meaning, amen.
- 00:06:32.001 --> 00:06:33.569
- So whatever happened to them happened to them
- 00:06:33.569 --> 00:06:35.938
- As examples to who?
- 00:06:35.938 --> 00:06:38.040
- And they were written for our admonition!
- 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.310
- "upon whom"--watch this-- "the ends of the ages
- 00:06:41.310 --> 00:06:44.714
- Have come."
- 00:06:44.714 --> 00:06:46.048
- They are written for us,
- 00:06:46.048 --> 00:06:47.617
- "upon whom the end of the ages have come."
- 00:06:47.617 --> 00:06:50.286
- We are the people who are living
- 00:06:50.286 --> 00:06:52.121
- In the end of the ages.
- 00:06:52.121 --> 00:06:54.257
- So everything that happened in the old testament
- 00:06:54.257 --> 00:06:55.992
- Happened for us, examples for us--
- 00:06:55.992 --> 00:07:00.596
- What to learn, what to adopt-- amen?--what to avoid,
- 00:07:00.596 --> 00:07:05.735
- What to imbibe, what to receive, amen.
- 00:07:05.735 --> 00:07:09.839
- Romans 15 also say the same thing.
- 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.807
- "whatever things were written before
- 00:07:11.807 --> 00:07:13.776
- Were written for our learning,
- 00:07:13.776 --> 00:07:15.611
- That we through patience and comfort of the scriptures
- 00:07:15.611 --> 00:07:18.714
- Might have hope--" "elpis" in the greek.
- 00:07:18.714 --> 00:07:22.318
- Hope means that through the scriptures,
- 00:07:22.318 --> 00:07:24.687
- We study the stories of the patriarchs,
- 00:07:24.687 --> 00:07:27.890
- We study the story of david, the stories of ruth, esther,
- 00:07:27.890 --> 00:07:31.394
- And all the old testament stories.
- 00:07:31.394 --> 00:07:32.895
- And then from the stories from the scriptures,
- 00:07:32.895 --> 00:07:35.831
- Which were written for our learning,
- 00:07:35.831 --> 00:07:38.200
- We will have hope.
- 00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:40.836
- Hope is a confident expectation of good.
- 00:07:40.836 --> 00:07:43.339
- So even if you receive a bad report from the doctor,
- 00:07:43.339 --> 00:07:47.343
- When you study the scriptures, you have hope for your future.
- 00:07:47.343 --> 00:07:51.981
- Amen.
- 00:07:51.981 --> 00:07:53.316
- All darkness or depression on the mind
- 00:07:53.316 --> 00:07:56.285
- Is based on that you look into the future
- 00:07:56.285 --> 00:07:58.721
- And you see nothing but darkness.
- 00:07:58.721 --> 00:08:01.958
- Hope is seeing brightness where darkness was, amen.
- 00:08:01.958 --> 00:08:07.597
- God is a god of hope, the bible says.
- 00:08:07.597 --> 00:08:10.032
- Okay, today, another truth that we can learn
- 00:08:10.032 --> 00:08:12.969
- For our families--for us and our families, i mean--
- 00:08:12.969 --> 00:08:15.304
- Exodus 11: the lord says, "i'll bring one more plague
- 00:08:15.304 --> 00:08:18.407
- On pharaoh."
- 00:08:18.407 --> 00:08:19.742
- This is the last plague. "and on egypt.
- 00:08:19.742 --> 00:08:21.611
- Afterwards he let you go from here.
- 00:08:21.611 --> 00:08:23.012
- When he lets you go, he will surely
- 00:08:23.012 --> 00:08:24.347
- Drive you out of here altogether.
- 00:08:24.347 --> 00:08:27.083
- Speak now in the hearing of the people,
- 00:08:27.083 --> 00:08:29.485
- And let every man ask"-- say "ask"--
- 00:08:29.485 --> 00:08:32.388
- "from his neighbor
- 00:08:32.388 --> 00:08:33.723
- And every woman from her neighbor,
- 00:08:33.723 --> 00:08:35.324
- Articles of silver and articles of gold."
- 00:08:35.324 --> 00:08:38.127
- God says, "ask, ask, from the egyptians,
- 00:08:38.127 --> 00:08:41.097
- Gold and silver."
- 00:08:41.097 --> 00:08:43.332
- And the lord gave the people what?
- 00:08:43.332 --> 00:08:45.868
- Favor. say "favor."
- 00:08:45.868 --> 00:08:48.037
- There'll be favor on god's people
- 00:08:48.037 --> 00:08:49.839
- In the last days.
- 00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:51.841
- I think there'll be favor on god's people
- 00:08:51.841 --> 00:08:53.776
- In the last days, amen.
- 00:08:53.776 --> 00:08:56.379
- Favor will come on god's people. don't be afraid of the darkness.
- 00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:59.015
- Don't be afraid of being swallowed up by the darkness,
- 00:08:59.015 --> 00:09:01.217
- Or your loved ones being swallowed.
- 00:09:01.217 --> 00:09:02.818
- Know this: god put a difference between the children of egypt
- 00:09:02.818 --> 00:09:05.888
- And the children of israel, amen.
- 00:09:05.888 --> 00:09:09.058
- Are you with me so far?
- 00:09:09.058 --> 00:09:10.893
- Next chapter says they plundered the egyptians,
- 00:09:10.893 --> 00:09:12.962
- And the gold and silver, they came out, you know,
- 00:09:12.962 --> 00:09:15.231
- They came out with plenty of gold and silver.
- 00:09:15.231 --> 00:09:16.899
- Psalms 105, the bible says this--
- 00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:19.168
- How god brought them out: "god brought them out
- 00:09:19.168 --> 00:09:20.636
- With silver and gold,
- 00:09:20.636 --> 00:09:22.938
- And there was none feeble among his tribes."
- 00:09:22.938 --> 00:09:26.308
- And there are 12 tribes.
- 00:09:26.308 --> 00:09:27.777
- Now, what has happened to us?
- 00:09:27.777 --> 00:09:30.379
- If that can happen to them with a natural lamb--
- 00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:33.282
- Which is a picture of the real lamb,
- 00:09:33.282 --> 00:09:35.317
- A shadow of the substance, our lord jesus christ,
- 00:09:35.317 --> 00:09:38.287
- Who is the true lamb of god, who takes away our sin--
- 00:09:38.287 --> 00:09:41.390
- What has happened to us?
- 00:09:41.390 --> 00:09:42.725
- We, number one, we don't partake.
- 00:09:42.725 --> 00:09:44.860
- I mean, they partook the lamb, when the blood was outside
- 00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:47.163
- Or were they doing inside,
- 00:09:47.163 --> 00:09:48.764
- They ate the lamb, the roasted lamb.
- 00:09:48.764 --> 00:09:51.634
- So that's the discerning the body of the lord, amen,
- 00:09:51.634 --> 00:09:54.737
- In communion.
- 00:09:54.737 --> 00:09:56.272
- If a shadow can do that for them in psalms 105,
- 00:09:56.272 --> 00:10:00.710
- When they came out, we have the substance.
- 00:10:00.710 --> 00:10:06.182
- But for the lack of preaching,
- 00:10:06.182 --> 00:10:07.683
- Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of god.
- 00:10:07.683 --> 00:10:10.386
- We have we have negated it.
- 00:10:10.386 --> 00:10:12.354
- Some of us wish that we were back there
- 00:10:12.354 --> 00:10:13.923
- With the children of israel.
- 00:10:13.923 --> 00:10:15.257
- No, no, you don't want to be there.
- 00:10:15.257 --> 00:10:16.592
- If they see our future, they wish they had been here
- 00:10:16.592 --> 00:10:19.595
- After christ has died and risen again, amen?
- 00:10:19.595 --> 00:10:23.399
- The messiah has come.
- 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:24.734
- They'll want to be where you are.
- 00:10:24.734 --> 00:10:26.836
- So during that night, we are learning--
- 00:10:26.836 --> 00:10:28.637
- We're comparing with that time as well as our time.
- 00:10:28.637 --> 00:10:31.674
- It's just like our time.
- 00:10:31.674 --> 00:10:33.008
- The last plague was darkness,
- 00:10:33.008 --> 00:10:34.777
- And the death of the first born was the last one, all right?
- 00:10:34.777 --> 00:10:38.347
- And yet they came out with gold and silver.
- 00:10:38.347 --> 00:10:41.550
- Don't shun that.
- 00:10:41.550 --> 00:10:43.119
- Don't throw it away.
- 00:10:43.119 --> 00:10:44.920
- Not only were they healthy, all right, they were wealthy.
- 00:10:44.920 --> 00:10:50.092
- Can you understand why i don't wanna preach?
- 00:10:50.092 --> 00:10:55.264
- Because i know the labels go on prosperity,
- 00:10:55.264 --> 00:10:57.399
- You know, gospel and all that, but you know what?
- 00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.001
- I'm more concerned about you receiving god's word,
- 00:10:59.001 --> 00:11:02.438
- And god wants that, amen?
- 00:11:02.438 --> 00:11:05.341
- Ecclesiastes 2, "god gives wisdom and knowledge and joy
- 00:11:05.341 --> 00:11:11.480
- To a man who is good in his sight."
- 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.151
- Look at pastor lawrence.
- 00:11:15.151 --> 00:11:17.586
- That is a man good in his sight.
- 00:11:17.586 --> 00:11:21.257
- Now all of you are thinking, "well, because he's so kind--
- 00:11:21.257 --> 00:11:23.459
- That pastor prince.
- 00:11:23.459 --> 00:11:24.794
- He's so nice."
- 00:11:24.794 --> 00:11:26.128
- He's nice, he is kind, but actually all of us
- 00:11:26.128 --> 00:11:27.463
- Are good in his sight.
- 00:11:27.463 --> 00:11:28.864
- What makes us good?
- 00:11:28.864 --> 00:11:30.199
- The blood of jesus, being justified by his blood
- 00:11:30.199 --> 00:11:34.637
- In god's eyes now.
- 00:11:34.637 --> 00:11:35.971
- So god gives to a man good in his sight
- 00:11:35.971 --> 00:11:38.007
- Wisdom, knowledge, and joy,
- 00:11:38.007 --> 00:11:39.341
- But to the sinner god has a ministry.
- 00:11:39.341 --> 00:11:43.078
- God has an assignment for the sinner,
- 00:11:43.078 --> 00:11:45.080
- And this is the assignment that god has for the sinner.
- 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.149
- "to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and collecting,
- 00:11:47.149 --> 00:11:52.521
- That he may give to him who is good before god."
- 00:11:52.521 --> 00:11:56.292
- Now, this is vexation for the sinner of god,
- 00:11:56.292 --> 00:11:57.927
- This vanity and grasping for the wind--
- 00:11:57.927 --> 00:12:00.129
- They work, they work, they work, they work,
- 00:12:00.129 --> 00:12:01.530
- And god says, "okay, now the time is gonna happen,
- 00:12:01.530 --> 00:12:03.899
- You gotta transfer it.
- 00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:06.135
- God is the lord of the heavens and the earth.
- 00:12:06.135 --> 00:12:09.839
- Ultimately, all gold is from him.
- 00:12:09.839 --> 00:12:12.107
- And all gold will go back to him.
- 00:12:12.107 --> 00:12:15.477
- But i wanna tell you this.
- 00:12:15.477 --> 00:12:17.580
- There's a way to sanctify the unrighteous mammon.
- 00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:20.149
- You know how?
- 00:12:20.149 --> 00:12:21.483
- Give them romans-- if the firstfruit is holy,
- 00:12:21.483 --> 00:12:24.086
- The lump, the rest, is also holy.
- 00:12:24.086 --> 00:12:26.188
- If the root of a tree is holy, so are the branches.
- 00:12:26.188 --> 00:12:29.191
- You know what god is saying like this?
- 00:12:29.191 --> 00:12:31.894
- Anything that you want to make holy--
- 00:12:31.894 --> 00:12:34.063
- You know what's holy?
- 00:12:34.063 --> 00:12:35.397
- Holy is separated unto god.
- 00:12:35.397 --> 00:12:37.466
- Like in your house, the toilet bowl is not holy.
- 00:12:37.466 --> 00:12:41.637
- It is common use, right?
- 00:12:41.637 --> 00:12:45.608
- But your wife may like precious, you know, like, ornaments
- 00:12:45.608 --> 00:12:51.347
- Or things like that or jewelry-- jewelry and all that.
- 00:12:51.347 --> 00:12:53.816
- Where does she keep it?
- 00:12:53.816 --> 00:12:55.251
- She don't keep it next on top of the toilet bowl,
- 00:12:55.251 --> 00:12:57.019
- Beside the toilet paper.
- 00:12:57.019 --> 00:12:58.420
- Where does she put it?
- 00:12:58.420 --> 00:12:59.755
- Special safe. under lock and key, am i right?
- 00:12:59.755 --> 00:13:03.659
- Or she put it in a drawer somewhere safe.
- 00:13:03.659 --> 00:13:05.494
- Am i right?
- 00:13:05.494 --> 00:13:06.829
- Those things that are precious, she set apart.
- 00:13:06.829 --> 00:13:09.398
- The word "holy" means set apart.
- 00:13:09.398 --> 00:13:11.567
- When someone says you stand out,
- 00:13:11.567 --> 00:13:13.202
- Back then they'll say you are holy.
- 00:13:13.202 --> 00:13:15.237
- So god wants his people to stand out predominantly--
- 00:13:15.237 --> 00:13:18.540
- Not "holier than thou" or righteous--
- 00:13:18.540 --> 00:13:20.809
- "i'm more righteous than you" attitude.
- 00:13:20.809 --> 00:13:22.444
- That stinks to high heavens.
- 00:13:22.444 --> 00:13:24.246
- God hates pharisaism, amen, even the pharisees
- 00:13:24.246 --> 00:13:28.717
- Having the attitude of "holier than thou."
- 00:13:28.717 --> 00:13:30.052
- Jesus moved with the common people,
- 00:13:30.052 --> 00:13:31.387
- Yet he was distinct.
- 00:13:31.387 --> 00:13:32.721
- It is something called royalty among common people,
- 00:13:32.721 --> 00:13:36.492
- And yet you know that he's not--
- 00:13:36.492 --> 00:13:38.460
- He's not someone that is servile.
- 00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:41.463
- He's someone regal when you're in his presence.
- 00:13:41.463 --> 00:13:43.966
- That's what god wants from his people.
- 00:13:43.966 --> 00:13:47.102
- The smell of heaven and the meaning of royalty
- 00:13:47.102 --> 00:13:49.338
- Is on you.
- 00:13:49.338 --> 00:13:51.807
- Even though you're humble, you're not servile.
- 00:13:51.807 --> 00:13:54.710
- You're humble, yet there's a regal--
- 00:13:54.710 --> 00:13:57.379
- A princess quality about you.
- 00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:59.682
- That's what god wants from his people.
- 00:13:59.682 --> 00:14:01.016
- You are a royal priesthood.
- 00:14:01.016 --> 00:14:03.018
- That's the kind of holiness. you stand out.
- 00:14:03.018 --> 00:14:05.287
- Now watch this.
- 00:14:05.287 --> 00:14:06.622
- How do you sanctify the unrighteous mammon?
- 00:14:06.622 --> 00:14:08.624
- Well, whatever is holy, the firstfruit, whatever--
- 00:14:08.624 --> 00:14:13.395
- Firstfruit of anything-- your time, you know,
- 00:14:13.395 --> 00:14:16.932
- Your energy, whatever it is that give 10%--money,
- 00:14:16.932 --> 00:14:20.436
- If your firstfruit is holy, guess what happens to the 90%.
- 00:14:20.436 --> 00:14:24.306
- It becomes holy.
- 00:14:24.306 --> 00:14:26.108
- So actually god doesn't ask for 90%.
- 00:14:26.108 --> 00:14:29.378
- He's the senior partner.
- 00:14:29.378 --> 00:14:31.447
- He doesn't ask for 90%.
- 00:14:31.447 --> 00:14:32.848
- I told my daughter that, you know, if i'm god,
- 00:14:32.848 --> 00:14:35.551
- I'll ask for 90%, 'cause 90% means it's more.
- 00:14:35.551 --> 00:14:39.989
- I'm god. and you live off 10%.
- 00:14:39.989 --> 00:14:43.525
- That should be right, and yet people complain
- 00:14:43.525 --> 00:14:45.527
- About the 10% they give to god.
- 00:14:45.527 --> 00:14:47.997
- Listen, if you don't wanna give, don't, okay?
- 00:14:47.997 --> 00:14:52.601
- This is for those with revelation, okay?
- 00:14:52.601 --> 00:14:55.471
- The senior partner only asks for 10%, why?
- 00:14:55.471 --> 00:14:58.207
- Because if the 10% is holy, the rest of your money is holy.
- 00:14:58.207 --> 00:15:02.077
- And whatever is holy, the devil cannot touch.
- 00:15:02.077 --> 00:15:04.246
- Always remember that. always remember that.
- 00:15:04.246 --> 00:15:10.786
- Now, back to what jesus said:
- 00:15:10.786 --> 00:15:15.457
- "if you're not faithful in the use of unrighteous mammon,"
- 00:15:15.457 --> 00:15:17.993
- Verse 11, "who will commit to your trust the true riches?"
- 00:15:17.993 --> 00:15:21.497
- Wow, you know, try not to think of god's way
- 00:15:21.497 --> 00:15:25.401
- The way the world thinks.
- 00:15:25.401 --> 00:15:26.769
- "god help those who help themselves," where?
- 00:15:26.769 --> 00:15:28.704
- Where do you find that in the bible?
- 00:15:28.704 --> 00:15:30.272
- "uh."
- 00:15:30.272 --> 00:15:31.607
- No, the bible didn't say that. benjamin franklin did.
- 00:15:31.607 --> 00:15:36.378
- No, god helps those who are helpless.
- 00:15:36.378 --> 00:15:38.247
- We are too strong in ourselves.
- 00:15:38.247 --> 00:15:40.382
- If we realize that, we'll pray more,
- 00:15:40.382 --> 00:15:42.484
- We'll depend on him more.
- 00:15:42.484 --> 00:15:45.854
- Amen?
- 00:15:45.854 --> 00:15:47.189
- Another thing is that "well, if god can trust you,
- 00:15:47.189 --> 00:15:49.725
- You're faithful in church, you're faithful in your service,
- 00:15:49.725 --> 00:15:52.795
- God will trust you with money,
- 00:15:52.795 --> 00:15:54.129
- God will allow money to come to you."
- 00:15:54.129 --> 00:15:55.597
- That's not what the bible says. you got the opposite.
- 00:15:55.597 --> 00:15:58.300
- "no, it's what the bible says." no, doesn't say that.
- 00:15:58.300 --> 00:16:02.104
- Another thing that people say, "you know,
- 00:16:02.104 --> 00:16:03.906
- Uh, if your heart is into something,
- 00:16:03.906 --> 00:16:06.608
- Your money will follow.
- 00:16:06.608 --> 00:16:07.943
- If your heart is into sports, you invest in things--
- 00:16:07.943 --> 00:16:11.180
- You know, your travel to watch the world cup
- 00:16:11.180 --> 00:16:12.881
- Or whatever-- your heart is there."
- 00:16:12.881 --> 00:16:14.950
- That is natural truth, yeah, but that's not what jesus said
- 00:16:14.950 --> 00:16:17.386
- In the sermon on the mount.
- 00:16:17.386 --> 00:16:18.720
- Jesus says, "where your money is,
- 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:20.222
- Where your treasure is, your heart will follow."
- 00:16:20.222 --> 00:16:22.858
- So even if i don't feel like it,
- 00:16:22.858 --> 00:16:24.359
- I put my money there, my heart will follow.
- 00:16:24.359 --> 00:16:26.595
- If i put my money into the things of god,
- 00:16:26.595 --> 00:16:29.565
- Amen, my heart will follow.
- 00:16:29.565 --> 00:16:32.134
- If i give to you, my heart will go after you.
- 00:16:32.134 --> 00:16:36.805
- Think of it, meditate, meditate.
- 00:16:36.805 --> 00:16:38.707
- It's the opposite of contemporary,
- 00:16:38.707 --> 00:16:43.679
- Natural wisdom of men.
- 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.181
- Again, jesus actually said if you have not been faithful
- 00:16:46.181 --> 00:16:49.952
- In the use of money first, god will not trust you
- 00:16:49.952 --> 00:16:53.255
- With the true riches-- wisdom and things like that--
- 00:16:53.255 --> 00:16:56.592
- Because you don't even handle money well.
- 00:16:56.592 --> 00:17:00.529
- So in god's mind, money is least.
- 00:17:00.529 --> 00:17:03.599
- "show me how you handle it."
- 00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.436
- "and if you're not faithful in that which is another man's,
- 00:17:07.436 --> 00:17:10.873
- Who will give you what is your own?"
- 00:17:10.873 --> 00:17:12.808
- So god said, "bring the tithe."
- 00:17:12.808 --> 00:17:14.309
- God didn't say, "pay me the tithes."
- 00:17:14.309 --> 00:17:17.779
- You know what's the difference?
- 00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:19.381
- "bring me" is "that is mine actually."
- 00:17:19.381 --> 00:17:22.985
- "bring me."
- 00:17:22.985 --> 00:17:24.319
- If i lend you a car, i say, "bring me my car,"
- 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.022
- All right?
- 00:17:27.022 --> 00:17:28.357
- You don't say, "i pay you my car.
- 00:17:28.357 --> 00:17:30.058
- I pay you the car."
- 00:17:30.058 --> 00:17:31.393
- No, it doesn't make sense,
- 00:17:31.393 --> 00:17:32.728
- Because you are bringing back what belongs to me.
- 00:17:32.728 --> 00:17:35.330
- And so god says, "bring me."
- 00:17:35.330 --> 00:17:38.400
- So if you're not faithful in that which is another man's,
- 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.769
- Who will give you what is your own?
- 00:17:40.769 --> 00:17:42.104
- You look at people who want a ministry of their own,
- 00:17:42.104 --> 00:17:44.506
- But which ministry are they serving under?
- 00:17:44.506 --> 00:17:49.011
- God always put you under a man.
- 00:17:49.011 --> 00:17:51.480
- Before elisha had a ministry of his own,
- 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.315
- God put him under elijah.
- 00:17:53.315 --> 00:17:55.584
- But elisha had a double portion of the miracles that elijah had.
- 00:17:55.584 --> 00:17:59.788
- And yet he was faithful to wash elijah's hands.
- 00:17:59.788 --> 00:18:05.427
- Now, god says here in ti-- in malachi,
- 00:18:05.427 --> 00:18:08.697
- About the tithing, "you are cursed
- 00:18:08.697 --> 00:18:10.032
- Because the ground is cursed."
- 00:18:10.032 --> 00:18:11.366
- Now watch this: everything that comes on the ground
- 00:18:11.366 --> 00:18:12.968
- Is cursed, even the tree, okay?
- 00:18:12.968 --> 00:18:15.837
- That's why we say grace over our food.
- 00:18:15.837 --> 00:18:17.172
- People say, "i eat organic or i eat food from eden.
- 00:18:17.172 --> 00:18:21.443
- I eat eden's diet," means you don't eat meat.
- 00:18:21.443 --> 00:18:23.912
- No, they eat eden's diet before men.
- 00:18:23.912 --> 00:18:26.081
- But what are you saying is that the earth has not fallen?
- 00:18:26.081 --> 00:18:28.617
- You're saying that you're going back to eden
- 00:18:28.617 --> 00:18:30.519
- As if the earth didn't fall.
- 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:31.887
- You're trying to redeem by your own eating.
- 00:18:31.887 --> 00:18:35.657
- No, earth is fallen.
- 00:18:35.657 --> 00:18:37.259
- Admit it.
- 00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:39.194
- That's why it brings forth thorns,
- 00:18:39.194 --> 00:18:40.529
- And that's why jesus wore the crown of thorns--
- 00:18:40.529 --> 00:18:41.863
- To redeem us from the curse.
- 00:18:41.863 --> 00:18:43.932
- "bring all the tithes"-- say "all the tithes"--
- 00:18:43.932 --> 00:18:46.368
- "into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house,
- 00:18:46.368 --> 00:18:49.871
- And try me now in this."
- 00:18:49.871 --> 00:18:51.807
- King james, "prove me now herewith.
- 00:18:51.807 --> 00:18:54.710
- Test me!"
- 00:18:54.710 --> 00:18:56.044
- It's the only place where god says "test me."
- 00:18:56.044 --> 00:18:58.080
- And the guy did a test, all right--the phari--
- 00:18:58.080 --> 00:19:02.384
- You know, so god says, "'test me, try me now in this,'
- 00:19:02.384 --> 00:19:04.953
- Says the lord of hosts,
- 00:19:04.953 --> 00:19:06.355
- 'if i will not open for you the windows of heaven.'"
- 00:19:06.355 --> 00:19:08.991
- The last time the windows of heaven opened,
- 00:19:08.991 --> 00:19:10.525
- It rained and rained and rained 40 days and 40 nights.
- 00:19:10.525 --> 00:19:14.129
- So you--when you're tithing,
- 00:19:14.129 --> 00:19:15.964
- Your blasting rains 40 days and 40 nights.
- 00:19:15.964 --> 00:19:18.100
- Next month, must start again.
- 00:19:18.100 --> 00:19:20.535
- For us, 40th day, all right?
- 00:19:20.535 --> 00:19:22.871
- You know, you put them together, it rained--
- 00:19:22.871 --> 00:19:25.073
- The first time windows of heaven mentioned,
- 00:19:25.073 --> 00:19:27.376
- The bible says god rained on the earth
- 00:19:27.376 --> 00:19:28.977
- 40 days and 40 nights.
- 00:19:28.977 --> 00:19:30.712
- So it's a-- it's an idea of monthly.
- 00:19:30.712 --> 00:19:34.983
- "so, see if i will not-- test me."
- 00:19:34.983 --> 00:19:37.286
- "see if i will not open you the windows of heaven
- 00:19:37.286 --> 00:19:39.321
- And pour you out such blessing
- 00:19:39.321 --> 00:19:41.556
- That there'll not be room enough to receive it."
- 00:19:41.556 --> 00:19:48.130
- Who is talking? god.
- 00:19:48.130 --> 00:19:49.631
- Next verse, "and i'll rebuke the devourer."
- 00:19:49.631 --> 00:19:52.701
- Who is the devourer? the devil.
- 00:19:52.701 --> 00:19:55.203
- He goes about taking whom he may devour.
- 00:19:55.203 --> 00:19:58.106
- "i'll rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
- 00:19:58.106 --> 00:19:59.808
- So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
- 00:19:59.808 --> 00:20:03.512
- Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you
- 00:20:03.512 --> 00:20:05.380
- In the field."
- 00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:06.715
- You work so hard for something, only to find at the end,
- 00:20:06.715 --> 00:20:08.350
- Bang, the whole thing falls through.
- 00:20:08.350 --> 00:20:10.519
- God says the destroyer will not destroy,
- 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.056
- Nor shall the vine fail.
- 00:20:14.056 --> 00:20:15.390
- "all the nations will call you blessed,
- 00:20:15.390 --> 00:20:16.892
- For you'll be a delightful land."
- 00:20:16.892 --> 00:20:19.494
- You know, you know what it means--
- 00:20:19.494 --> 00:20:20.829
- "you are a delightful land"?
- 00:20:20.829 --> 00:20:22.164
- You are a delightful land?
- 00:20:22.164 --> 00:20:23.498
- That means people want to invest in you,
- 00:20:23.498 --> 00:20:25.767
- People wanna wanna be with you, they want to invest in you.
- 00:20:25.767 --> 00:20:29.137
- They see you you as someone worth investing.
- 00:20:29.137 --> 00:20:36.044
- "well, pastor prince, this is the old testament scripture."
- 00:20:36.044 --> 00:20:38.146
- Oh, yeah? what chapter is this?
- 00:20:38.146 --> 00:20:41.149
- Chapter 3, right?
- 00:20:41.149 --> 00:20:42.651
- What chapter is this?
- 00:20:42.651 --> 00:20:44.586
- Let's look at how chapter 3 opens.
- 00:20:44.586 --> 00:20:46.188
- Verse 1, "behold, i send my messenger.
- 00:20:46.188 --> 00:20:48.290
- He will prepare the way before me.
- 00:20:48.290 --> 00:20:49.925
- And the lord, whom you seek--"
- 00:20:49.925 --> 00:20:51.293
- Now, the first part here refers to his first coming,
- 00:20:51.293 --> 00:20:52.961
- But look at this: "and the lord, whom you seek,
- 00:20:52.961 --> 00:20:54.529
- Will suddenly come to his temple."
- 00:20:54.529 --> 00:20:55.897
- His first coming, he didn't come suddenly.
- 00:20:55.897 --> 00:20:59.568
- But his second coming, he'll come suddenly, all right?
- 00:20:59.568 --> 00:21:03.238
- Now, look at verse 2.
- 00:21:03.238 --> 00:21:05.907
- "who can endure the day of his coming?"
- 00:21:05.907 --> 00:21:07.576
- This is not the first coming,
- 00:21:07.576 --> 00:21:08.910
- When he came as a baby boy in bethlehem.
- 00:21:08.910 --> 00:21:11.413
- Everyone can endure that.
- 00:21:11.413 --> 00:21:13.582
- But who can endure the day of his coming
- 00:21:13.582 --> 00:21:14.916
- Is the coming of the lord to judge--
- 00:21:14.916 --> 00:21:18.787
- Will be coming with him.
- 00:21:18.787 --> 00:21:21.356
- "who can stand when he appears?"
- 00:21:21.356 --> 00:21:23.191
- So the context refers to the second coming,
- 00:21:23.191 --> 00:21:25.160
- And it's telling us: even during that time,
- 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:27.496
- While we're waiting for the second coming,
- 00:21:27.496 --> 00:21:29.431
- The lord talks about tithing.
- 00:21:29.431 --> 00:21:32.033
- So i close with this story.
- 00:21:32.033 --> 00:21:34.603
- When israel came back from captivity from babylon,
- 00:21:34.603 --> 00:21:38.373
- There were not many people.
- 00:21:38.373 --> 00:21:39.908
- Nehemiah was their leader, the governor.
- 00:21:39.908 --> 00:21:42.043
- So they had to learn the ways of god.
- 00:21:42.043 --> 00:21:43.378
- They had to rebuild the temple.
- 00:21:43.378 --> 00:21:44.846
- And when the temple was rebuilt, they all start crying
- 00:21:44.846 --> 00:21:47.582
- Because the older people remembered
- 00:21:47.582 --> 00:21:48.917
- The temple of solomon.
- 00:21:48.917 --> 00:21:50.252
- It's nothing close to the temple of solomon.
- 00:21:50.252 --> 00:21:51.586
- So they wept, they cried.
- 00:21:51.586 --> 00:21:52.921
- But then the haggai the prophet says, "don't cry,
- 00:21:52.921 --> 00:21:56.258
- Because the glory of this latter house
- 00:21:56.258 --> 00:21:57.759
- Will be greater than the former."
- 00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.094
- You know who will step into that new building?
- 00:21:59.094 --> 00:22:01.096
- Herod will start rebuilding it also,
- 00:22:01.096 --> 00:22:03.031
- But it's the building of nehemiah,
- 00:22:03.031 --> 00:22:04.399
- Nonetheless, that was started, and you know who will step in?
- 00:22:04.399 --> 00:22:07.302
- Jesus christ.
- 00:22:07.302 --> 00:22:08.637
- So even though it's inferior-looking
- 00:22:08.637 --> 00:22:10.572
- Compared to solomon, the glory of this latter house
- 00:22:10.572 --> 00:22:13.708
- Will be greater than the former, why?
- 00:22:13.708 --> 00:22:15.477
- The son of god will walk into it...
- 00:22:15.477 --> 00:22:21.450
- [congregation applauding]
- 00:22:21.450 --> 00:22:22.784
- Amen?
- 00:22:22.784 --> 00:22:25.320
- I feel like just nehemiah-- throwing out everything
- 00:22:25.320 --> 00:22:28.657
- That took the place of the tithe,
- 00:22:28.657 --> 00:22:30.425
- Especially the teaching "god is good;
- 00:22:30.425 --> 00:22:32.060
- Therefore, you don't have to tithe," you know?
- 00:22:32.060 --> 00:22:34.229
- God is good; therefore, we tithe because he takes out 10%.
- 00:22:34.229 --> 00:22:37.999
- No senior partner takes out 10%, you know?
- 00:22:37.999 --> 00:22:41.036
- They want at least more than 50%--
- 00:22:41.036 --> 00:22:43.572
- At least 51%, at the least.
- 00:22:43.572 --> 00:22:46.441
- In god's mind, just like abraham's servant,
- 00:22:46.441 --> 00:22:51.213
- When he went to find a bride for abraham's son isaac,
- 00:22:51.213 --> 00:22:54.583
- What did he do?
- 00:22:54.583 --> 00:22:55.917
- He took ten camels. say "ten camels."
- 00:22:55.917 --> 00:22:58.420
- Actually, we have that real quick--
- 00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:59.754
- Show them "servant took ten of his master's camels."
- 00:22:59.754 --> 00:23:02.057
- I mean, how many camels he took?
- 00:23:02.057 --> 00:23:03.825
- But in god's eyes, the idea of ten in the hebrew mind
- 00:23:03.825 --> 00:23:06.495
- Is this: "for all his master's goods were in his hand."
- 00:23:06.495 --> 00:23:10.665
- Ten represents the whole.
- 00:23:10.665 --> 00:23:12.334
- He took ten camels and god says everything that his master had
- 00:23:12.334 --> 00:23:16.238
- Was in his hand.
- 00:23:16.238 --> 00:23:17.572
- When you give ten to god-- listen, look up here,
- 00:23:17.572 --> 00:23:18.907
- Look up here.
- 00:23:18.907 --> 00:23:20.242
- You know why it blesses you more than just finances?
- 00:23:20.242 --> 00:23:21.810
- Because the tithe, when you give god
- 00:23:21.810 --> 00:23:24.112
- The 10% of your income-- some give more than that--
- 00:23:24.112 --> 00:23:27.182
- And it's up to you-- between you and god--
- 00:23:27.182 --> 00:23:28.717
- But ten is the minimum.
- 00:23:28.717 --> 00:23:30.685
- Listen, if you give 10%, it's not just money.
- 00:23:30.685 --> 00:23:34.256
- It represents your blood, sweat, and tears every month.
- 00:23:34.256 --> 00:23:37.192
- Every sacrifice you make to go to work,
- 00:23:37.192 --> 00:23:38.860
- Every time you feel, you know-- whatever it is,
- 00:23:38.860 --> 00:23:40.862
- You go to work, your effort, your labor,
- 00:23:40.862 --> 00:23:42.697
- Your blood, sweat and tears, literally, you know?
- 00:23:42.697 --> 00:23:45.233
- I mean, not blood but sweat and tears--amen?--
- 00:23:45.233 --> 00:23:48.103
- The misunderstanding-- all that are seeds
- 00:23:48.103 --> 00:23:50.472
- That come back to you in money form, right?
- 00:23:50.472 --> 00:23:53.909
- So when you tithe that part, it's not just money anymore.
- 00:23:53.909 --> 00:23:57.145
- It represents the whole month of your sweat,
- 00:23:57.145 --> 00:24:00.348
- Your labor, your inconveniences, whatever it is,
- 00:24:00.348 --> 00:24:03.084
- And it comes back.
- 00:24:03.084 --> 00:24:04.419
- You sacrifice time with family, it's in that seed.
- 00:24:04.419 --> 00:24:07.389
- And that's why it comes back and blesses the family.
- 00:24:07.389 --> 00:24:10.892
- So the tithe is not just financial, okay?
- 00:24:10.892 --> 00:24:14.029
- So we leave this place today,
- 00:24:14.029 --> 00:24:15.797
- Remember, prosperity is not just financial.
- 00:24:15.797 --> 00:24:18.567
