  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.310
  • Joseph prince: the world, they i said,
  • 00:00:12.788 --> 00:00:14.123
  • They spend so much of their health
  • 00:00:14.123 --> 00:00:15.657
  • To get the wealth and then later on, they spend the next half
  • 00:00:15.657 --> 00:00:17.626
  • Of their life using their wealth to get back the health
  • 00:00:17.626 --> 00:00:20.062
  • That they have lost.
  • 00:00:20.062 --> 00:00:21.396
  • When god blesses you,
  • 00:00:21.396 --> 00:00:24.333
  • I mean you are in a place where you love the lord,
  • 00:00:24.333 --> 00:00:26.902
  • You've got time with your family, time to come to church,
  • 00:00:26.902 --> 00:00:31.140
  • Time to smell the flowers, time to enjoy your loved ones.
  • 00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:37.679
  • Time.
  • 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:39.114
  • To everything, there is a season.
  • 00:00:39.114 --> 00:00:40.983
  • God gives you that.
  • 00:00:40.983 --> 00:00:42.684
  • And you enjoy the goodness of god.
  • 00:00:42.684 --> 00:00:45.988

  • Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:01:50.953 --> 00:01:53.255
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:53.255 --> 00:01:54.756
  • Joseph prince: all things may not be good,
  • 00:01:54.756 --> 00:01:56.625
  • But all things will work together for good.
  • 00:01:56.625 --> 00:01:59.294
  • Because god knows the future.
  • 00:01:59.294 --> 00:02:01.163
  • God knows where and how we all should end up, you know,
  • 00:02:01.163 --> 00:02:05.701
  • And he will disappoint us because he loves us.
  • 00:02:05.701 --> 00:02:08.270
  • He will risk, amen, you being angry with him, you know,
  • 00:02:08.270 --> 00:02:14.209
  • Misunderstanding him, as long as he gets to love you
  • 00:02:14.209 --> 00:02:17.546
  • And bring you to the place where he wants you to be.
  • 00:02:17.546 --> 00:02:20.182
  • Where he knows that, you see, you must understand
  • 00:02:20.182 --> 00:02:21.917
  • God is for you, for you and not against you.
  • 00:02:21.917 --> 00:02:25.320
  • Therefore, god is for your happiness and god knows
  • 00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:27.389
  • The things that he tells us, you know,
  • 00:02:27.389 --> 00:02:29.725
  • Are things that are for our own good, amen?
  • 00:02:29.725 --> 00:02:33.862
  • In the bible, the greatest success is to know him, amen?
  • 00:02:33.862 --> 00:02:39.334
  • And then we make him known.
  • 00:02:39.334 --> 00:02:41.370
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:02:41.370 --> 00:02:42.704
  • "the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom."
  • 00:02:42.704 --> 00:02:47.376
  • So, let me tell you this.
  • 00:02:47.376 --> 00:02:50.178
  • The greatest thing you can learn is to know the lord jesus,
  • 00:02:50.178 --> 00:02:53.815
  • Is to know god's love and to know that you
  • 00:02:53.815 --> 00:02:57.352
  • Are not just an accident in this world.
  • 00:02:57.352 --> 00:03:01.256
  • That god meant for you to be born.
  • 00:03:01.256 --> 00:03:03.158
  • You have a call and you have a purpose in life, amen?
  • 00:03:03.158 --> 00:03:06.928
  • And god has designed you in such a way
  • 00:03:06.928 --> 00:03:08.463
  • That there's no two fingerprints in this world that's alike.
  • 00:03:08.463 --> 00:03:11.600
  • There never was someone like you and there'll never be
  • 00:03:11.600 --> 00:03:13.869
  • Anyone like you, amen?
  • 00:03:13.869 --> 00:03:15.671
  • Your voice print, everything about you, you're unique, amen?
  • 00:03:15.671 --> 00:03:20.008
  • There's only one of you and we need you.
  • 00:03:20.008 --> 00:03:22.878
  • I know there are places that say, you know, we don't need,
  • 00:03:22.878 --> 00:03:24.713
  • You know, you and all that, but let me tell you this.
  • 00:03:24.713 --> 00:03:26.648
  • We need you, amen.
  • 00:03:26.648 --> 00:03:28.550
  • You know why?
  • 00:03:28.550 --> 00:03:29.918
  • Because only you can fulfill the call that god has for you.
  • 00:03:29.918 --> 00:03:32.354
  • So what i'm trying to say: money is important, all right?
  • 00:03:32.354 --> 00:03:35.757
  • But money is not to be our idol, amen?
  • 00:03:35.757 --> 00:03:40.996
  • We use money to serve the lord.
  • 00:03:40.996 --> 00:03:44.266
  • We use money and love people.
  • 00:03:44.266 --> 00:03:45.934
  • We don't love money and use people.
  • 00:03:45.934 --> 00:03:50.939
  • We love god.
  • 00:03:50.939 --> 00:03:53.008
  • Let money come, amen?
  • 00:03:53.008 --> 00:03:56.511
  • Let money come.
  • 00:03:56.511 --> 00:03:58.213
  • You--if your name is money come,
  • 00:03:58.213 --> 00:03:59.648
  • It just so happens, okay?
  • 00:03:59.648 --> 00:04:01.750
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:04:01.750 --> 00:04:03.218
  • But you pursue the lord and let money come after you, amen?
  • 00:04:03.218 --> 00:04:06.755
  • All right, genesis 26.
  • 00:04:06.755 --> 00:04:08.557
  • I better get into the word.
  • 00:04:08.557 --> 00:04:09.891
  • "there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine
  • 00:04:09.891 --> 00:04:13.195
  • That was in the days of abraham."
  • 00:04:13.195 --> 00:04:15.263
  • And the bible tells us that this famine
  • 00:04:15.263 --> 00:04:18.767
  • Was besides the first famine that was in the days of abraham.
  • 00:04:18.767 --> 00:04:24.005
  • So even abraham, the blessed man of god,
  • 00:04:24.005 --> 00:04:26.975
  • The man that we bless ourselves by, we are blessed by--
  • 00:04:26.975 --> 00:04:30.445
  • With the blessing of abraham, amen?
  • 00:04:30.445 --> 00:04:32.447
  • So even he experienced famine.
  • 00:04:32.447 --> 00:04:34.316
  • But let me just tell you this.
  • 00:04:34.316 --> 00:04:35.884
  • Famine is the time where you stop and assess your life.
  • 00:04:35.884 --> 00:04:41.156
  • When you stop and say, "why is there a famine?
  • 00:04:41.156 --> 00:04:44.826
  • Why am i in an environment of famine?"
  • 00:04:44.826 --> 00:04:47.329
  • It can be a famine of, you know, it seems like a famine of favor.
  • 00:04:47.329 --> 00:04:53.435
  • Things are all going against you instead of for you.
  • 00:04:53.435 --> 00:04:57.606
  • "so isaac went to abimelech king of the philistines, in gerar.
  • 00:04:57.606 --> 00:05:00.742
  • Then the lord appeared to him and said:
  • 00:05:00.742 --> 00:05:02.344
  • 'do not go down to egypt.'"
  • 00:05:02.344 --> 00:05:04.413
  • I repeat, "do not go down to egypt."
  • 00:05:04.413 --> 00:05:07.916
  • "'live in the land of which i shall tell you.'"
  • 00:05:07.916 --> 00:05:10.385
  • So even when things are going wrong, amen,
  • 00:05:10.385 --> 00:05:14.589
  • Keep on coming to church.
  • 00:05:14.589 --> 00:05:16.792
  • Keep on spending time in the word of god.
  • 00:05:16.792 --> 00:05:20.195
  • Read the daily devo, amen?
  • 00:05:20.195 --> 00:05:22.798
  • Pray.
  • 00:05:22.798 --> 00:05:24.132
  • Even when things are going wrong, trust.
  • 00:05:24.132 --> 00:05:25.934
  • Even there's famine, there's good coming, amen?
  • 00:05:25.934 --> 00:05:28.670
  • Good is coming in your future.
  • 00:05:28.670 --> 00:05:30.539
  • Dwell in the land.
  • 00:05:30.539 --> 00:05:31.873
  • Don't go down to egypt, the ways of the world.
  • 00:05:31.873 --> 00:05:34.776
  • When you spend time with god and you give god that time,
  • 00:05:34.776 --> 00:05:36.812
  • The lord knows it.
  • 00:05:36.812 --> 00:05:38.180
  • He seems like he rewards you with quality time.
  • 00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:40.315
  • The bible says one of the benefits of wisdom
  • 00:05:40.315 --> 00:05:42.784
  • Is that length of days, long life and peace.
  • 00:05:42.784 --> 00:05:45.320
  • Obviously, length of days and long life
  • 00:05:45.320 --> 00:05:46.955
  • Are two different things
  • 00:05:46.955 --> 00:05:48.356
  • Or else they wouldn't be put in the same sentence.
  • 00:05:48.356 --> 00:05:49.791
  • Length of days, long life and peace.
  • 00:05:49.791 --> 00:05:52.294
  • Long life is long life.
  • 00:05:52.294 --> 00:05:53.795
  • But what is length of days?
  • 00:05:53.795 --> 00:05:55.130
  • It seems like everyone has 24 hours.
  • 00:05:55.130 --> 00:05:57.299
  • When god blesses your day, your day becomes like full.
  • 00:05:57.299 --> 00:06:03.371
  • Length of days, long life and peace, shalom.
  • 00:06:03.371 --> 00:06:06.608
  • Shalom is more than just peace of mind.
  • 00:06:06.608 --> 00:06:08.577
  • It is health, well-being, wholeness.
  • 00:06:08.577 --> 00:06:11.680
  • So god says, "dwell in this land.
  • 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.348
  • Dwell in this land, and i will be with you and bless you;
  • 00:06:13.348 --> 00:06:16.785
  • For to you and your descendants i give all these lands."
  • 00:06:16.785 --> 00:06:19.654
  • Next verse, god says, "i'll make your descendants multiply
  • 00:06:19.654 --> 00:06:23.258
  • As the stars of heaven," drop down.
  • 00:06:23.258 --> 00:06:25.060
  • See what isaac did, he obeyed god.
  • 00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:26.628
  • "then isaac sowed in that land."
  • 00:06:26.628 --> 00:06:28.563
  • Now, you don't sow in a year of famine.
  • 00:06:28.563 --> 00:06:34.069
  • So there are believers who say, "you know what?
  • 00:06:34.069 --> 00:06:36.838
  • It seems like i've been giving to god.
  • 00:06:36.838 --> 00:06:38.273
  • I've been tithing, i've been giving to god.
  • 00:06:38.273 --> 00:06:40.242
  • And yet, there seems to be nothing happening.
  • 00:06:40.242 --> 00:06:42.077
  • Famine."
  • 00:06:42.077 --> 00:06:43.478
  • What do you do?
  • 00:06:43.478 --> 00:06:44.813
  • Keep on persevering.
  • 00:06:44.813 --> 00:06:46.214
  • You belong to abraham's family.
  • 00:06:46.214 --> 00:06:48.884
  • And abraham's family sows in the year of famine, all right?
  • 00:06:48.884 --> 00:06:52.721
  • "isaac sowed in that land, and reaped
  • 00:06:52.721 --> 00:06:55.690
  • In the same year of famine.
  • 00:06:55.690 --> 00:06:57.692
  • In the same year a hundredfold."
  • 00:06:57.692 --> 00:06:59.661
  • Obviously, this is a blessing of the lord, amen?
  • 00:06:59.661 --> 00:07:02.531
  • "and the lord blessed him."
  • 00:07:02.531 --> 00:07:04.266
  • And the bible says: "the man began to prosper."
  • 00:07:04.266 --> 00:07:06.334
  • I call this a thirty-fold, sixty-fold,
  • 00:07:06.334 --> 00:07:07.736
  • Hundred-fold blessing.
  • 00:07:07.736 --> 00:07:09.304
  • But watch this.
  • 00:07:09.304 --> 00:07:10.639
  • "the man began to prosper."
  • 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:11.973
  • If you haven't begun yet, all right, don't forget.
  • 00:07:11.973 --> 00:07:13.975
  • Before the began is the sowing.
  • 00:07:13.975 --> 00:07:17.879
  • "then he began to prosper.
  • 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.248
  • He continued prospering."
  • 00:07:20.248 --> 00:07:22.384
  • That's a sixty-fold.
  • 00:07:22.384 --> 00:07:23.919
  • "and until he became very prosperous,"
  • 00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:26.421
  • There's a hundred-fold, amen?
  • 00:07:26.421 --> 00:07:29.257
  • Now here is where you can get criticized by people:
  • 00:07:29.257 --> 00:07:31.359
  • "oh, you're preaching the prosperity gospel and all that."
  • 00:07:31.359 --> 00:07:33.295
  • I got no time for people like this, amen?
  • 00:07:33.295 --> 00:07:35.196
  • Because many a times, there are a lot of hypocrites.
  • 00:07:35.196 --> 00:07:36.932
  • Because why do i say that?
  • 00:07:36.932 --> 00:07:38.266
  • They have three or four cars, they have a big house,
  • 00:07:38.266 --> 00:07:40.802
  • And then they are criticizing people for encouraging others
  • 00:07:40.802 --> 00:07:44.839
  • That they can prosper.
  • 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:46.308
  • What i'm against is materialism.
  • 00:07:46.308 --> 00:07:48.276
  • I'm against greed.
  • 00:07:48.276 --> 00:07:50.612
  • I'm against people that, you know, they love money, avarice.
  • 00:07:50.612 --> 00:07:57.986
  • You know, they love money more than people, more than god.
  • 00:07:57.986 --> 00:08:01.623
  • That is what i'm against.
  • 00:08:01.623 --> 00:08:04.459
  • I'm against pastors that don't want their people to prosper.
  • 00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:11.866
  • I think something is wrong.
  • 00:08:11.866 --> 00:08:13.802
  • Now something is wrong also if the pastor
  • 00:08:13.802 --> 00:08:15.470
  • Is living such a lavish lifestyle and, you know,
  • 00:08:15.470 --> 00:08:19.307
  • Just all about money and all that.
  • 00:08:19.307 --> 00:08:21.676
  • Something is wrong.
  • 00:08:21.676 --> 00:08:23.612
  • But if the pastor is--you look at the church and the church
  • 00:08:23.612 --> 00:08:25.814
  • Is prospering, the church is growing as a whole, amen,
  • 00:08:25.814 --> 00:08:29.684
  • The pastor is bringing the people into the lamb, amen?
  • 00:08:29.684 --> 00:08:33.488
  • Are you listening, amen.
  • 00:08:33.488 --> 00:08:35.056
  • You want to be in a church like that.
  • 00:08:35.056 --> 00:08:37.158
  • So don't be taken by people like, you know,
  • 00:08:37.158 --> 00:08:39.628
  • "oh, prosperity in the bible is all about spiritual things."
  • 00:08:39.628 --> 00:08:41.796
  • I agree, number one is to know god.
  • 00:08:41.796 --> 00:08:43.365
  • Didn't i say that just now?
  • 00:08:43.365 --> 00:08:45.367
  • I spent so much time saying that, isn't it?
  • 00:08:45.367 --> 00:08:47.202
  • All right.
  • 00:08:47.202 --> 00:08:48.536
  • So, you know, sometimes people like to take a statement
  • 00:08:48.536 --> 00:08:50.005
  • Out of context, but we've got no time to just address
  • 00:08:50.005 --> 00:08:52.340
  • All these people, amen?
  • 00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:53.675
  • We just go on preaching the truth.
  • 00:08:53.675 --> 00:08:56.044
  • So in case you're thinking this is spiritual,
  • 00:08:56.044 --> 00:08:57.545
  • Look at the next line.
  • 00:08:57.545 --> 00:08:58.880
  • "for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds
  • 00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:01.950
  • And a great number of servants.
  • 00:09:01.950 --> 00:09:03.752
  • So the philistines envied him."
  • 00:09:03.752 --> 00:09:06.655
  • Now the philistines are people who are the enemies of god,
  • 00:09:06.655 --> 00:09:11.159
  • Enemies of the people of the land, the jewish people.
  • 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.462
  • Usually they end up as enemies, okay?
  • 00:09:14.462 --> 00:09:16.231
  • They are usually the enemies.
  • 00:09:16.231 --> 00:09:17.565
  • Goliath was a philistine.
  • 00:09:17.565 --> 00:09:19.334
  • Philistines are not spiritual people.
  • 00:09:19.334 --> 00:09:20.669
  • They don't go by spiritual, you know, eyesight.
  • 00:09:20.669 --> 00:09:24.272
  • Obviously, they are looking at palpable, visible,
  • 00:09:24.272 --> 00:09:28.043
  • Tangible blessings of god on isaac.
  • 00:09:28.043 --> 00:09:32.280
  • So much so, they envied--they are jealous of him.
  • 00:09:32.280 --> 00:09:35.717
  • Do you make the world jealous of the blessings of god
  • 00:09:35.717 --> 00:09:38.186
  • That is on you?
  • 00:09:38.186 --> 00:09:39.554
  • Do you know that one of the connotations of the hebrew word
  • 00:09:39.554 --> 00:09:42.557
  • "barak," which is blessing, all right,
  • 00:09:42.557 --> 00:09:44.993
  • Is actually the word "to be envied."
  • 00:09:44.993 --> 00:09:48.163
  • And in the amplified bible, it brings it out.
  • 00:09:48.163 --> 00:09:50.532
  • "blessed, to be envied, is the man who fears the lord."
  • 00:09:50.532 --> 00:09:55.870
  • So god says, "do not go down to egypt."
  • 00:09:55.870 --> 00:09:57.939
  • What about egypt?
  • 00:09:57.939 --> 00:09:59.407
  • If you look at egypt-- by the way, egypt in hebrew
  • 00:09:59.407 --> 00:10:03.144
  • Is the word "mizraim."
  • 00:10:03.144 --> 00:10:05.046
  • Mizraim.
  • 00:10:05.046 --> 00:10:06.381
  • It's not the word "egypt."
  • 00:10:06.381 --> 00:10:07.716
  • It's mizraim, all right?
  • 00:10:07.716 --> 00:10:09.050
  • Whenever you've got an "im," it's plural.
  • 00:10:09.050 --> 00:10:10.852
  • It's double straitness.
  • 00:10:10.852 --> 00:10:12.954
  • Literally, double distress or double straitness.
  • 00:10:12.954 --> 00:10:15.323
  • If you look at the land of egypt, it's very flat.
  • 00:10:15.323 --> 00:10:17.726
  • God says the land of israel is hills and valleys, amen.
  • 00:10:17.726 --> 00:10:21.896
  • Out of the hills, you will--they will dig copper even.
  • 00:10:21.896 --> 00:10:24.666
  • But here, it says, "do not go down to egypt."
  • 00:10:24.666 --> 00:10:26.601
  • Look at the picture, the map of egypt.
  • 00:10:26.601 --> 00:10:29.838
  • It is a flat land and on both sides of the land
  • 00:10:29.838 --> 00:10:35.110
  • Is actually--it is sandwiched by desert.
  • 00:10:35.110 --> 00:10:42.117
  • And the desert will blow its dry sands into the land of egypt.
  • 00:10:42.117 --> 00:10:51.359
  • The only sustenance for egypt-- egypt hardly had rainfall.
  • 00:10:51.359 --> 00:10:56.097
  • Hardly.
  • 00:10:56.097 --> 00:10:57.665
  • Very little rainfall.
  • 00:10:57.665 --> 00:10:59.434
  • And the only sustenance is the river nile.
  • 00:10:59.434 --> 00:11:01.369
  • Can you see the blue river nile, okay?
  • 00:11:01.369 --> 00:11:04.239
  • But they do not know its source.
  • 00:11:04.239 --> 00:11:06.808
  • They do not know what is the source of the river nile.
  • 00:11:06.808 --> 00:11:09.043
  • They enjoy it but they do not know the source.
  • 00:11:09.043 --> 00:11:10.779
  • Isn't that like the world?
  • 00:11:10.779 --> 00:11:13.381
  • When god says, "don't go down to egypt, don't go down
  • 00:11:13.381 --> 00:11:15.650
  • Into a place of double pressure, double distress, double stress."
  • 00:11:15.650 --> 00:11:22.056
  • Literally, mizraim means double distress or stress.
  • 00:11:22.056 --> 00:11:27.996
  • God doesn't want you to go down to a place
  • 00:11:27.996 --> 00:11:29.964
  • Where you'll be hemmed in on both sides.
  • 00:11:29.964 --> 00:11:32.567
  • So the land of egypt is hemmed in on both sides.
  • 00:11:32.567 --> 00:11:34.936
  • You have libya and you have sudan.
  • 00:11:34.936 --> 00:11:37.205
  • So it's literally sandwiched by desert.
  • 00:11:37.205 --> 00:11:41.776
  • And the only sustenance that it has for its drinking water
  • 00:11:41.776 --> 00:11:45.680
  • And washing and all that is the river nile.
  • 00:11:45.680 --> 00:11:48.883
  • And they don't even know its source.
  • 00:11:48.883 --> 00:11:51.352
  • Isn't it like the world?
  • 00:11:51.352 --> 00:11:52.754
  • They enjoy even the blessings on this earth, amen?
  • 00:11:52.754 --> 00:11:56.124
  • It's still from god, amen.
  • 00:11:56.124 --> 00:11:57.592
  • "every good and perfect gift is from above,"
  • 00:11:57.592 --> 00:11:59.527
  • The bible says, "and from the father of lights."
  • 00:11:59.527 --> 00:12:02.363
  • But they do not know its source.
  • 00:12:02.363 --> 00:12:05.166
  • You and i know its source.
  • 00:12:05.166 --> 00:12:07.836
  • That's why we always worship, we acknowledge him,
  • 00:12:07.836 --> 00:12:13.341
  • We thank him, we give him glory,
  • 00:12:13.341 --> 00:12:15.176
  • We even tithe to show that he's the source
  • 00:12:15.176 --> 00:12:17.111
  • Of all our blessings.
  • 00:12:17.111 --> 00:12:20.481
  • Deuteronomy 11: "acknowledge the lord and you prolong your days.
  • 00:12:20.481 --> 00:12:24.719
  • God brings you a land flowing with milk and honey."
  • 00:12:24.719 --> 00:12:28.089
  • Notice again, it's not a land of milk and honey.
  • 00:12:28.089 --> 00:12:31.526
  • It's a land flowing.
  • 00:12:31.526 --> 00:12:33.394
  • Flowing is an idea of copiousness,
  • 00:12:33.394 --> 00:12:37.031
  • Plenteousness, abundance, amen?
  • 00:12:37.031 --> 00:12:41.436
  • Superfluousness.
  • 00:12:41.436 --> 00:12:43.872
  • Extravagant.
  • 00:12:43.872 --> 00:12:46.107
  • Flowing with milk and honey.
  • 00:12:46.107 --> 00:12:48.176
  • "for the land which you go to possess
  • 00:12:48.176 --> 00:12:49.544
  • Is not like the land of egypt.
  • 00:12:49.544 --> 00:12:51.045
  • It's not like the land of egypt from which you have come,
  • 00:12:51.045 --> 00:12:53.948
  • Where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot,
  • 00:12:53.948 --> 00:12:58.052
  • As a vegetable garden;
  • 00:12:58.052 --> 00:13:00.121
  • But the land which you cross over to possess
  • 00:13:00.121 --> 00:13:02.724
  • Is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water
  • 00:13:02.724 --> 00:13:06.628
  • From the rain of heaven."
  • 00:13:06.628 --> 00:13:08.730
  • So in egypt, they get their water from below,
  • 00:13:08.730 --> 00:13:13.334
  • A river, all right?
  • 00:13:13.334 --> 00:13:14.669
  • And they have to work it.
  • 00:13:14.669 --> 00:13:16.704
  • I have a ancient picture, not say ancient, but old picture,
  • 00:13:16.704 --> 00:13:20.408
  • Of people watering, irrigating their field with their foot.
  • 00:13:20.408 --> 00:13:24.879
  • If you look really close, those two are standing on pedals.
  • 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.883
  • And what they do is that they got to work really hard,
  • 00:13:28.883 --> 00:13:30.551
  • You know, amen?
  • 00:13:30.551 --> 00:13:32.153
  • It's like running all the time and they are constantly watering
  • 00:13:32.153 --> 00:13:36.257
  • Their fields with their foot.
  • 00:13:36.257 --> 00:13:40.795
  • They get their water from the river but the river
  • 00:13:40.795 --> 00:13:43.698
  • Needs to be--the water needs to be channeled up
  • 00:13:43.698 --> 00:13:45.934
  • And they use the paddles.
  • 00:13:45.934 --> 00:13:47.368
  • This is a old picture, a old photo.
  • 00:13:47.368 --> 00:13:49.170
  • And let's go back to the verse again.
  • 00:13:49.170 --> 00:13:50.638
  • Notice that that's what egypt does.
  • 00:13:50.638 --> 00:13:51.973
  • Egypt--there's a lot of effort to get good stuff.
  • 00:13:51.973 --> 00:13:55.243
  • A lot of effort. a lot of effort.
  • 00:13:55.243 --> 00:13:59.080
  • Look at me.
  • 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:00.415
  • God can just bless you and you are blessed.
  • 00:14:00.415 --> 00:14:04.352
  • The world, like i said, they spend so much of their health
  • 00:14:04.352 --> 00:14:07.021
  • To get the wealth and then later on, they spend the next half
  • 00:14:07.021 --> 00:14:08.856
  • Of their life using their wealth to get back the health
  • 00:14:08.856 --> 00:14:11.559
  • That they have lost.
  • 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:12.927
  • You know, it's like when god blesses you,
  • 00:14:12.927 --> 00:14:17.298
  • I mean you are in a place where you love the lord.
  • 00:14:17.298 --> 00:14:19.968
  • You've got time with your family, time to come to church,
  • 00:14:19.968 --> 00:14:24.105
  • Time to smell the flowers, time to enjoy your loved ones.
  • 00:14:24.105 --> 00:14:30.712
  • Time.
  • 00:14:30.712 --> 00:14:32.213
  • To everything, there is a season.
  • 00:14:32.213 --> 00:14:33.948
  • God gives you that.
  • 00:14:33.948 --> 00:14:35.616
  • And you enjoy the goodness of god.
  • 00:14:35.616 --> 00:14:38.987
  • That's true prosperity, amen?
  • 00:14:38.987 --> 00:14:45.193
  • And the blessing come from where in israel?
  • 00:14:45.193 --> 00:14:47.428
  • "drinks water from the rain of heaven."
  • 00:14:47.428 --> 00:14:50.898
  • Notice the rain of heaven.
  • 00:14:50.898 --> 00:14:53.368
  • Where is heaven?
  • 00:14:53.368 --> 00:14:54.736
  • Up.
  • 00:14:54.736 --> 00:14:56.137
  • So our blessings is from there, amen?
  • 00:14:56.137 --> 00:15:00.174
  • Amen.
  • 00:15:00.174 --> 00:15:01.509
  • Animals are designed to look down.
  • 00:15:01.509 --> 00:15:02.844
  • That's why they're animals.
  • 00:15:02.844 --> 00:15:05.213
  • The word "arthropods" comes from the word which mean man
  • 00:15:05.213 --> 00:15:07.415
  • Is upright, look up, face up.
  • 00:15:07.415 --> 00:15:09.951
  • Man is designed to look to god.
  • 00:15:09.951 --> 00:15:12.387
  • Man is designed to face god.
  • 00:15:12.387 --> 00:15:15.757
  • Beasts of the earth face down, amen.
  • 00:15:15.757 --> 00:15:20.094
  • We are meant to have a connection with god.
  • 00:15:20.094 --> 00:15:23.097
  • God designed you to be loved, to be cared for, to be provided.
  • 00:15:23.097 --> 00:15:30.004
  • So we know our source is from god.
  • 00:15:30.004 --> 00:15:33.141
  • All right, the land which you cross over is a land of hills
  • 00:15:33.141 --> 00:15:35.843
  • And valley that brings water from the rain of heaven.
  • 00:15:35.843 --> 00:15:38.579
  • I want to bring this to a close, but before that,
  • 00:15:38.579 --> 00:15:40.314
  • Let me just say this.
  • 00:15:40.314 --> 00:15:43.051
  • The bible says in the book of wisdom, proverbs 22 tells us:
  • 00:15:43.051 --> 00:15:47.555
  • "by humility and the fear of the lord are," say it.
  • 00:15:47.555 --> 00:15:53.895
  • The bible says-- don't have to apologize.
  • 00:15:53.895 --> 00:15:55.463
  • Come on, the bible says it.
  • 00:15:55.463 --> 00:15:57.231
  • "are riches and," come on, "and life," not sickness.
  • 00:15:57.231 --> 00:16:01.569
  • Life, not death.
  • 00:16:01.569 --> 00:16:03.771
  • Life.
  • 00:16:03.771 --> 00:16:05.173
  • "by humility and the fear of the lord."
  • 00:16:05.173 --> 00:16:06.707
  • How many people when you tell them,
  • 00:16:06.707 --> 00:16:08.576
  • Advise them to how to handle money
  • 00:16:08.576 --> 00:16:10.711
  • And all that, they don't want to listen?
  • 00:16:10.711 --> 00:16:13.481
  • There goes the riches.
  • 00:16:13.481 --> 00:16:16.117
  • Actually, humility is like wanting to learn from people.
  • 00:16:16.117 --> 00:16:19.887
  • How they excel, how they learn, what did they do, amen!
  • 00:16:19.887 --> 00:16:24.025
  • Humility, teachableness,
  • 00:16:24.025 --> 00:16:26.360
  • Humility and the fear of the lord.
  • 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.197
  • What does it bring?
  • 00:16:29.197 --> 00:16:30.665
  • All these three things people seek after, amen,
  • 00:16:30.665 --> 00:16:34.902
  • Today in the world, right?
  • 00:16:34.902 --> 00:16:36.304
  • Riches, honor, and life.
  • 00:16:36.304 --> 00:16:43.644
  • They seek for esteem from their colleagues,
  • 00:16:43.644 --> 00:16:45.613
  • From their fellow men.
  • 00:16:45.613 --> 00:16:49.383
  • Bible says, honor.
  • 00:16:49.383 --> 00:16:50.852
  • You have honor in life, amen?
  • 00:16:50.852 --> 00:16:57.291
  • Proverbs 9 says: "the fear of the lord
  • 00:16:57.291 --> 00:16:59.427
  • Is the beginning of wisdom,
  • 00:16:59.427 --> 00:17:01.229
  • And the knowledge
  • 00:17:01.229 --> 00:17:02.563
  • Of the holy one is understanding."
  • 00:17:02.563 --> 00:17:05.032
  • The fear of the lord.
  • 00:17:05.032 --> 00:17:06.367
  • Do you know the devil doesn't have wisdom?
  • 00:17:06.367 --> 00:17:08.136
  • No, let me qualify that.
  • 00:17:08.136 --> 00:17:09.670
  • He has corrupted wisdom.
  • 00:17:09.670 --> 00:17:13.674
  • Because the bible says: "fear of the lord
  • 00:17:13.674 --> 00:17:15.009
  • Is the beginning of wisdom."
  • 00:17:15.009 --> 00:17:16.644
  • So he has not begun because he doesn't fear the lord.
  • 00:17:16.644 --> 00:17:22.750
  • For some people, they have not even begun.
  • 00:17:26.687 --> 00:17:28.689
  • They have natural wisdom.
  • 00:17:28.689 --> 00:17:30.358
  • They have knowledge, they're smart.
  • 00:17:30.358 --> 00:17:34.495
  • Many a times, booksmart, but they have no wisdom.
  • 00:17:34.495 --> 00:17:39.133
  • I'm going to show you this real quick
  • 00:17:39.133 --> 00:17:40.568
  • And then we're going to close.
  • 00:17:40.568 --> 00:17:42.170
  • The bible says, ephesians 1, the very first thing you pray for:
  • 00:17:42.170 --> 00:17:44.038
  • "therefore i also, after i heard your faith in the lord jesus--
  • 00:17:44.038 --> 00:17:46.908
  • After i heard your faith in the lord jesus
  • 00:17:46.908 --> 00:17:49.410
  • And your love for all the saints."
  • 00:17:49.410 --> 00:17:50.878
  • Many a times when we hear people are doing well,
  • 00:17:50.878 --> 00:17:52.613
  • They have faith in the lord jesus
  • 00:17:52.613 --> 00:17:54.248
  • And they have love for all the saints,
  • 00:17:54.248 --> 00:17:55.950
  • We stop praying.
  • 00:17:55.950 --> 00:17:57.552
  • Paul is the opposite.
  • 00:17:57.552 --> 00:17:58.986
  • "when i heard about it, i do not cease to give thanks for you."
  • 00:17:58.986 --> 00:18:02.757
  • Do not cease.
  • 00:18:02.757 --> 00:18:04.091
  • Say, "do not cease."
  • 00:18:04.091 --> 00:18:05.426
  • "to give thanks for you, making mention of you--
  • 00:18:05.426 --> 00:18:06.994
  • Do not cease to give thanks and do not cease
  • 00:18:06.994 --> 00:18:08.829
  • To make mention of you in my prayers:
  • 00:18:08.829 --> 00:18:10.698
  • That the god of our lord jesus christ,
  • 00:18:10.698 --> 00:18:12.400
  • The father of glory, may give to you
  • 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.303
  • The spirit of wisdom and revelation
  • 00:18:15.303 --> 00:18:18.940
  • In the knowledge of him."
  • 00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:20.374
  • The number one prayer is that you keep on praying every day
  • 00:18:20.374 --> 00:18:23.911
  • Is to ask god for wisdom.
  • 00:18:23.911 --> 00:18:26.113
  • The spirit of wisdom and revelation.
  • 00:18:26.113 --> 00:18:27.848
  • The first place is in the knowledge of him.
  • 00:18:27.848 --> 00:18:30.451
  • To know him.
  • 00:18:30.451 --> 00:18:31.786
  • When you see him, it's hard to unsee.
  • 00:18:31.786 --> 00:18:33.988
  • No amount of temptation in the world can distract you anymore
  • 00:18:33.988 --> 00:18:36.724
  • Because you have seen him.
  • 00:18:36.724 --> 00:18:38.426
  • It's the spirit of wisdom and revelation.
  • 00:18:38.426 --> 00:18:39.927
  • Next verse says, the way it operates,
  • 00:18:39.927 --> 00:18:41.629
  • "the eyes of your understanding being enlightened."
  • 00:18:41.629 --> 00:18:44.832
  • You have eyes in your heart, your inner man.
  • 00:18:44.832 --> 00:18:46.901
  • You can see things before your physical eyes see it.
  • 00:18:46.901 --> 00:18:50.171
  • That's how the spirit of wisdom and revelation operates.
  • 00:18:50.171 --> 00:18:53.874
  • You see god with the eyes of your heart, amen.
  • 00:18:53.874 --> 00:18:57.612
  • And then, you see, notice that the prayer
  • 00:18:57.612 --> 00:19:00.181
  • You pray every day is to ask god for wisdom?
  • 00:19:00.181 --> 00:19:02.717
  • Colossians chapter 1.
  • 00:19:02.717 --> 00:19:04.619
  • It says: "for this reason we also,
  • 00:19:04.619 --> 00:19:06.654
  • Since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you--
  • 00:19:06.654 --> 00:19:09.690
  • Do not cease to pray for you."
  • 00:19:09.690 --> 00:19:11.826
  • So there are prayers that you keep on praying.
  • 00:19:11.826 --> 00:19:13.861
  • And what prayers are they?
  • 00:19:13.861 --> 00:19:15.196
  • Prayers for wisdom.
  • 00:19:15.196 --> 00:19:17.265
  • "do not cease to pray for you and to ask
  • 00:19:17.265 --> 00:19:19.834
  • That you may be filled with," what?
  • 00:19:19.834 --> 00:19:22.670
  • "with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom
  • 00:19:22.670 --> 00:19:26.107
  • And spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy
  • 00:19:26.107 --> 00:19:30.278
  • Of the lord, fully pleasing him,
  • 00:19:30.278 --> 00:19:32.179
  • Being fruitful in every good work
  • 00:19:32.179 --> 00:19:34.548
  • And increasing in the knowledge of god."
  • 00:19:34.548 --> 00:19:36.517
  • The very first area is to be filled with the knowledge
  • 00:19:36.517 --> 00:19:40.988
  • Of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
  • 00:19:40.988 --> 00:19:45.459
  • And that brings you to the 11th verse, please:
  • 00:19:45.459 --> 00:19:47.862
  • "strengthened with all might, according to his glorious--"
  • 00:19:47.862 --> 00:19:50.197
  • I was sharing this just now.
  • 00:19:50.197 --> 00:19:51.832
  • "and to--for all perseverance," the word there
  • 00:19:51.832 --> 00:19:53.467
  • Should be perseverance, "and longsuffering with joy."
  • 00:19:53.467 --> 00:19:56.137
  • You are strengthened so that you become
  • 00:19:56.137 --> 00:19:57.738
  • A very cool, calm, collected person.
  • 00:19:57.738 --> 00:20:03.778
  • And you will fulfill the keep calm and carry on.
  • 00:20:03.778 --> 00:20:07.181
  • You're truly calm, a person who is poised.
  • 00:20:07.181 --> 00:20:12.119
  • And that's what the world needs.
  • 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:13.587
  • Multi-millionaires, they want to be that kind of person.
  • 00:20:13.587 --> 00:20:16.691
  • You don't know the turmoil they go through.
  • 00:20:16.691 --> 00:20:19.327
  • The blood pressure follows whatever whoever says.
  • 00:20:19.327 --> 00:20:22.563
  • God wants you to be a person strengthened with all might.
  • 00:20:22.563 --> 00:20:25.433
  • It takes strengthening with all might for you
  • 00:20:25.433 --> 00:20:27.802
  • To be a patient person.
  • 00:20:27.802 --> 00:20:29.737
  • It takes strengthening with all might to persevere
  • 00:20:29.737 --> 00:20:33.140
  • In the midst of trials, adverse circumstances, amen?
  • 00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:40.915
  • So i close with this.
  • 00:20:40.915 --> 00:20:43.117
  • The very first thing you ask god for is always wisdom.
  • 00:20:43.117 --> 00:20:45.986
  • Christ has made unto us first, before righteousness
  • 00:20:45.986 --> 00:20:48.189
  • Even, wisdom.
  • 00:20:48.189 --> 00:20:50.925
  • And then righteousness, and then holiness and redemption.
  • 00:20:50.925 --> 00:20:55.596
  • Christ is all this to us but he is first wisdom.
  • 00:20:55.596 --> 00:20:58.165
  • Wisdom is the principal thing.
  • 00:20:58.165 --> 00:21:00.134
  • Hebrew, rashid.
  • 00:21:00.134 --> 00:21:01.769
  • Wisdom is the rashid thing.
  • 00:21:01.769 --> 00:21:03.337
  • In the beginning, god created the first word, "bereshit."
  • 00:21:03.337 --> 00:21:07.308
  • Rashid is the very beginning.
  • 00:21:07.308 --> 00:21:08.776
  • The very first thing you ask god for is wisdom, amen?
  • 00:21:08.776 --> 00:21:14.548
  • The wisdom from above is first pure, peaceable,
  • 00:21:14.548 --> 00:21:16.650
  • Gentle, easy to be entreated.
  • 00:21:16.650 --> 00:21:18.652
  • The wisdom from below is sensual, demonic, self-seeking.
  • 00:21:18.652 --> 00:21:22.857
  • Where there's envy and strife, there is confusion
  • 00:21:22.857 --> 00:21:25.226
  • In every evil work.
  • 00:21:25.226 --> 00:21:26.560
  • There is a wisdom from the world.
  • 00:21:26.560 --> 00:21:28.129
  • It always makes you proud.
  • 00:21:28.129 --> 00:21:29.463
  • It makes you self-seeking.
  • 00:21:29.463 --> 00:21:31.098
  • It makes you sensual.
  • 00:21:31.098 --> 00:21:32.867
  • But the wisdom from above is like jesus:
  • 00:21:32.867 --> 00:21:35.369
  • Pure, gentle, easy to be entreated, humble, good fruits.
  • 00:21:35.369 --> 00:21:40.274
  • And that's what king rehoboam lacked, the humility.
  • 00:21:40.274 --> 00:21:44.011
  • Listen to the people.
  • 00:21:44.011 --> 00:21:46.147
  • You're a servant king.
  • 00:21:46.147 --> 00:21:49.150
  • You're not a king-king.
  • 00:21:49.150 --> 00:21:53.154
  • Without people, there's no king.
  • 00:21:53.154 --> 00:21:56.323
  • That's a good statement.
  • 00:21:56.323 --> 00:21:57.691
  • I want to take down notes on myself.
  • 00:21:57.691 --> 00:21:59.393
  • That was a good statement, amen?
  • 00:21:59.393 --> 00:22:01.429
  • But never forget, leaders, whatever field of leadership
  • 00:22:01.429 --> 00:22:06.967
  • You are in, remember this, you are there to serve.
  • 00:22:06.967 --> 00:22:12.273
  • A king like jesus, he was a king and yet you see him
  • 00:22:12.273 --> 00:22:16.811
  • By the shores of galilee,
  • 00:22:16.811 --> 00:22:18.546
  • Casting out demons, bringing relief to the oppressed,
  • 00:22:18.546 --> 00:22:22.750
  • Casting out the spirit of depression,
  • 00:22:22.750 --> 00:22:25.119
  • The spirit of intimidation, the spirit of--
  • 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:32.626
  • That makes you sick-- infirmity.
  • 00:22:32.626 --> 00:22:35.062
  • You see him healing the sick.
  • 00:22:35.062 --> 00:22:38.299
  • You see him cleansing the leper.
  • 00:22:38.299 --> 00:22:40.835
  • This is a king, the king of israel.
  • 00:22:40.835 --> 00:22:45.105
  • And he uses his power, the powerful word that he has,
  • 00:22:45.105 --> 00:22:48.476
  • To heal, to set free.
  • 00:22:48.476 --> 00:22:53.180
  • And pontius pilate said, "shall i crucify your king?"
  • 00:22:53.180 --> 00:22:58.853
  • And they said, "we have no king."
  • 00:22:58.853 --> 00:23:01.689
  • "we have no king," the leader says,
  • 00:23:01.689 --> 00:23:03.257
  • "but caesar is our king."
  • 00:23:03.257 --> 00:23:04.758
  • And for 2000 years, they've been serving caesar
  • 00:23:04.758 --> 00:23:07.127
  • After caesar after caesar.
  • 00:23:07.127 --> 00:23:09.330
  • Whereas the king is waiting for them to say, "you are our king."
  • 00:23:09.330 --> 00:23:14.034
  • Bang, he's going to return.
  • 00:23:14.034 --> 00:23:19.139
  • But as you and i right now, we acknowledge him as king.
  • 00:23:19.139 --> 00:23:23.444
  • And we therefore live in his kingdom where his kingly sway
  • 00:23:23.444 --> 00:23:29.650
  • Is over everything that we are over: our families, our jobs,
  • 00:23:29.650 --> 00:23:36.724
  • Our ministries, our career, our relationships.
  • 00:23:36.724 --> 00:23:39.960
  • There's this kingly touch on all that.
  • 00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:43.330
  • There's an authority that the world knows not oft, amen?
  • 00:23:43.330 --> 00:23:47.768
  • And that's what it means.
  • 00:23:47.768 --> 00:23:49.203
  • "seek you first the kingdom of god and his righteousness."
  • 00:23:49.203 --> 00:23:52.873
  • Do his way of doing things, that righteousness, peace,
  • 00:23:52.873 --> 00:23:56.343
  • And joy may flow.
  • 00:23:56.343 --> 00:23:58.145
  • Don't follow the ways of the world.
  • 00:23:58.145 --> 00:24:00.214
  • Don't copy the world.
  • 00:24:00.214 --> 00:24:02.750
  • I got no time.
  • 00:24:02.750 --> 00:24:04.151
  • People give me books, you know, business books or whatever.
  • 00:24:04.151 --> 00:24:05.853
  • It's okay.
  • 00:24:05.853 --> 00:24:07.321
  • If you're a business person, you can read all that and all that.
  • 00:24:07.321 --> 00:24:09.056
  • I got no time for that, why?
  • 00:24:09.056 --> 00:24:11.592
  • I need time for even my own books.
  • 00:24:11.592 --> 00:24:13.160
  • But i find that many times when i study those books,
  • 00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:14.895
  • I don't even have to study these books.
  • 00:24:14.895 --> 00:24:17.164
  • I'm able to organize.
  • 00:24:17.164 --> 00:24:18.532
  • I'm able to administrate, amen.
  • 00:24:18.532 --> 00:24:21.635
  • I can talk to people that are more qualified than me and see
  • 00:24:21.635 --> 00:24:24.905
  • The very areas they need to change or have revelation in.
  • 00:24:24.905 --> 00:24:32.112
  • Now, i'm not saying that in a boastful way.
  • 00:24:32.112 --> 00:24:33.581
  • I'm just saying i'm nobody but for the wisdom of god.
  • 00:24:33.581 --> 00:24:37.685
  • And i still desperately need his wisdom.
  • 00:24:37.685 --> 00:24:40.321
  • And so do you.
  • 00:24:40.321 --> 00:24:41.889
  • So make that our prayer every day.
  • 00:24:41.889 --> 00:24:44.124
  • Announcer: pastor joseph prince will return in a moment
  • 00:24:44.191 --> 00:24:46.560
  • With a special prayer to close today's program
  • 00:24:46.560 --> 00:24:48.729
  • Right after this.
  • 00:24:48.729 --> 00:24:50.197
  • Announcer: enjoyed today's message?
  • 00:24:50.197 --> 00:24:51.699
  • Joseph's book, "god's way to making good choices,"
  • 00:24:51.699 --> 00:24:54.435
  • Is packed with strong scripture-based advice
  • 00:24:54.435 --> 00:24:57.237
  • To help you navigate life's decisions
  • 00:24:57.237 --> 00:24:59.273
