Positioning for your inheritance (2)
hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise…”
2. Kingdom greats set a specific prayer time. Cornelius was a man who prayed regularly. Daniel was a man of regular prayers. He prayed three times a day (Daniel 6:10). David prayed three times a day (Psalm 55:17) and praised God 7 times daily (Psalm 119:164). Prayer is the seed for power. Much prayer, much power; little prayer, little power.
Setting a specific prayer time is one of the great secrets in the lives of prayer champions and Kingdom greats.
Build your daily agenda around your specific prayer time. Morning is usually best. Psalm 5:3, “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” Make it the priority of the day.
You will be amazed at the power of keeping a daily appointment with God. You will avoid disappointment if you keep your daily appointment with God.
3. Kingdom greats take great delight in regular fellowship. Luke 4:16b, Hebrews 10:25. King David wrote, I was glad when they said, let us go to the house of God. Psalm 122:1. Abraham fellowshipped with God regularly. He raised altars everywhere he went.
Get into the presence of God. Regularly. Your best will come out of you in His Presence.
Sit under the teaching of a man of God you respect. Put your time, influence and finances there. Faithfully.
Even Jesus attended church regularly. There is no substitute for the Golden Link of Godly relationships.
4. Kingdom greats tithe habituallyMalachi 3:10; 1Corinthians 16:2
Tithe means tenth. Abraham gave ten percent of his income back to God to show that he honoured God as his Provider.
His son Isaac tithed also and reaped one hundredfold the same year he sowed. God rewarded his seed. Jacob was a habitual tither.
5. Kingdom greats Sow from every income. Kingdom greats recognize their seed. A seed is anything you have been given to obtain what you have been promised. Everything God made produces after its kind. Many people sow one kind of seed and expect to reap something else. It does not work that way. That is deception. Galaatians 6:7, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
Repentance Forgiveness.
Prayer and fasting are the seed for power. Listening is the seed for learning. Learning is the seed for knowledge. If you don’t learn you don’t know.
Perseverance manifestation.
Work is the seed for reward. is the seed for is the seed for money is the seed for money. Money is the seed for money. 2Corinthians 9:10; Genesis 8:22.
The size of your seed determines the size of your harvest. 2Corinthians 9:6, “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”
Think like a sower. Your seed is anything you give to God. Your harvest is anything He gives back to you. Habitual sowing guarantees habitual reaping. You want to receive regularly, sow regularly.
Start the habit of giving something to the work of God out of every income you receive. When you sow consistently, you will reap consistently.
Expect God to multiply your seed one hundredfold as He promised clearly in Mark 10:30. He will provide seed to anyone willing to sow it. 2Corinthians 9:10. Kingdom greats understand that prayer and fasting are the not the seed for money.
It is obvious then doing these things regularly will cause you to become more Christ-like and to enjoy dominion, good health and wealth. The more Christ-like you become, the greater the blessings you enjoy, the more of your inheritance you have access to. of earthly life, without hard work, commitment, discipline, honesty and integrity. They are told that God will bless them, provided they have faith and pay their tithes. These religious contractors give spiritual immunity to a bunch of lazy people who do not want to work, yet want to enjoy all the good things of life. Many young people of today have fallen prey to this. They want to just enjoy without toil and without sweat. They just want shortcuts to pleasure and comfort. We need a revolutionary change of mindset to break out of this typical Nigerian culture of settling for too little, hoping for too little, and doing too little to improve our condition of living.
In blessing those on the margins of life, the Beatitudes are not invitations to laziness and complacency. They are a clarion call to each one of us to work to change unjust social structures, which condemn many people to a life of drudgery and servitude. No one should say, “There is nothing I can do, I am just one person out of a multitude.” No. Each one of us can make a difference. Each one of us can change things. The Beatitudes call us to seek justice for the hungry, the oppressed, those who mourn on account of their losses, those who seek purity amidst the moral and ethical decay around them, those who are gentle in the midst of a hustling society that often tries to take advantage of their meekness, those who are seen as weak because they show mercy and forgive, and those who are persecuted on account of their steadfastness in standing for what is right. When we make their cries ours, we can set out to contemplate life through the prism of God’s values.
