wealth

from a kingdom perspective. Let me start with some comments about

wealth

, when people talk about wealth, they usually think about the money they don't want to give away. You have seven

spheres

of wealth that you must focus on You must be rich in seven areas or you will be poor The first area of ​​wealth is spiritual wealth The Bible calls this being rich toward God If your spiritual life is not in order and you have a thousand millions of dollars in the bank you are poor, what good does it do for a man to gain the whole world and lose the most important thing in his soul?

So you want to focus on wealth in your spiritual life. The second sphere of wealth in the kingdom is like this. local wealth solid wealth means intellectual and emotional development you should focus on developing intellectually god gave you a brain he expects it to develop god gave you a brain with nothing in it it's like a computer hard drive it's up to you to decide what you download it's called learning It is important that you become very rich in your soul. Your soul is made up of your mind, your will and your emotions. It is not in your best interest to have a billion dollars in the bank but not have the intelligence to invest it.

I do not have the knowledge to multiply it and I do not have the wisdom to invest it and that is why Solomon was intelligent when God asked him what do you want I will give you everything you want Solomon did not ask for money he asked God for local wealth, he said: give me knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Later, Solomon wrote this in his book called proverbs, he said that wisdom brings wealth. One of Jesus' students was named John, he wrote a little book that is hidden in your Bible. is third john, said: I wish that above all things you prosper and have health, even when your soul prospers, that means that your health depends on your mental state, your prosperity depends on your soul, local development, I always tell it to the people when I train them in business. that wealth is actually an idea, it is not money, wealth has to be first in the mind, so you must be rich in your soul, the third set of wealth that you must focus on in the kingdom of God is what we call Physical wealth, you know, it's interesting. that Stephen Jobs, one of the richest men in the history of the world who founded Apple Computer with a partner, was worth hundreds of billions of dollars but not a dollar could save him from pancreatic and liver cancer, died with a billion dollars in the bank had, it had material wealth but it had no physical wealth, no matter how much you know, no matter how much you have talent and talent, if your body breaks down, you are poor, that is why John said: desire above all things.

In order for you to prosper and be healthy, nothing is worse than lying on your back with some great ideas, you must become rich in your physical body, that means when you leave this place you must make the decision to focus on becoming rich and healthy, you may ask. . why did god when he created the nation of israel give them all kinds of wonderful laws but then suddenly focus on the physical laws of their bodies and give them a hygiene list give them a health program give them even specific foods to eat and not I wanted to eat he was focusing on the third area of ​​wealth your body by the grace of God my wife and I and my children have not been sick for 36 years not a single illness in our house now of course I live under the culture of kingdom, but we also eat properly we exercise we drink good water and feed our mind good books and listen to good CDs and DVDs all of that is part of my health we even protect ourselves from negative company because that can affect your health if you stay close to people who are they complain all the time finding fault all the time always criticizing you are in a sick environment you must prosper in your area of ​​physical wealth the fourth state of wealth is social wealth sometimes we don't think about this but it is important that you become rich in your friendships rich in your family relationship rich in your relationships with the people around you I cannot emphasize how important this is you are as poor as the friends you have you are as rich as the friends you keep if your marriage relationship is not working you are sick it is called a social illness If your relationship with your parents is negative and there is stress between you and your mother and your father lack of forgiveness and anger you are poor in your social wealth that is why Jesus stressed forgive those who offend you do good to those who use you with contempt pray for those who persecute you why keep relationships pure for your own wealth and then say do good to everyone do you know that your success can depend on someone you don't like sometimes you go to a bank to borrow money for their company and the person in charge of the department is someone he offended and now they have his life in their hands they tell him to never be nice to me he might need me next week be rich in his relationships most of the time you don't need money you need people with money Jesus was smart, he kept people around him who had access to resources.

Some of you wonder why Jesus kept Mary by his side. You know, the lady from Magdalena, the small town, the lady was loaded, she came and put money in her body and according to today's currency calculation, it was between 15 and 18,000 US dollars, she had it in a pocket in his pocket, he said lady, I will cure you and stay with me, look, sometimes your problem is everything. Your friends are poor if you're poor and I'm poor we're bad company clap your hands right there someone joseph was in prison look joseph joseph is in jail in prison and joseph knew I have to develop some relationships here I have no money I have no favor, I'm in prison I can't get out so let me make some friends that's your problem you're making the wrong friends Joseph decided to become friends with two people who knew Pharaoh sometimes it's not what you know it's a relationship and Joseph cultivated that relationship with those two people and told them now look we are friends he even solved their problems he interpreted their dreams and told them now when you come out if you come out remember me and remember what happened eh one of them came out and they gave him his jaw back to the office of the president of Egypt and when the government had a problem he told the president the pharaoh I know a young man everyone says I know say it again I know what relationship means you know what's wrong with you the wrong people know you I know a young man in prison who can solve your problem was a relationship that led Joseph to the position of prime minister your relationships my wife and I protect each other by loving each other I must keep my marriage pure I must keep my relationships with my wife strong to protect my life bible says if you are angry with your wife the lord will not hear your prayer that is the power of a wife she can shut down your prayer life that is in the bible so if your husband or your wife is not here or they are here, You better talk to them every day and tell them, please keep the prayer lines open for me.

They all say relationships. You have to be rich in relationships number five. You must be rich in your influential life. Influence. You must be rich. rich in the area of ​​influence god wants you to be rich in your ability to bring change in the world and you do it by making yourself valuable what kind of influence do you have in your family in your community in your church what is your area of ​​influence? influence you must be rich in the influence account if my son and daughter want money from any bank all they have to do is use my name they do not need to fill out forms they do not need to be investigated the power of influence wealth Jesus used this power often He said when you come to the father don't ask anything in your name because you don't have any influence come on someone clap right there he said if you want to do something use what my name and my father will give you whatever I say I wonder if your name is good have you developed your name? you have protected it, do you safeguard it? and the last area of ​​wealth that you must develop in your life if you are going to make a difference in your world is in the area of ​​community wealth community wealth you must be rich in your community experience and that means you must be able to improve the lives of other people If you help other people get what they want you will develop wealth in the community if you solve other people's problems you will become rich in the community if you help the poor the homeless the drug addicts the people who are abandoned you are developing wealth in the community if you you reach out to those who cannot help themselves you are becoming rich in community wealth and believe me friends when your funeral comes people will talk about your community wealth more than any other wealth they will never talk about your money in your funeral, they will never talk about your car or the house you lived in.

They will always talk about the wealth of your community and if you don't have community wealth your funeral will be short your obituary is the wealth of your community it is what you do for other people what makes you rich in the community is not the house you buy write this below please, they will never remember you for what you saved, they will remember you for what you gave, we don't remember steve jobs, billions of dollars, we remember the iphone he gave us, it's what he gave us, we don't remember his money, don't focus on Material money focuses on wealth in these areas and you will never be forgotten and number seven, generational wealth, the most important, focuses on becoming rich in the area of ​​generations.

The Bible says that a good man leaves an inheritance not only to his children but to his children. from those children you are rich if your grandchildren can benefit from what you are doing I repeat this you are rich if your grandchildren can benefit from what you are doing if you consume everything in yourself you are poor you know my my wife and I when we were planning our future together, We decided that we would plan to buy property for our great-grandchildren because we wanted to test the Bible, so we bought a lot of real estate before our children got married, not for themselves but for their children's children.

They bought them they paid so according to God I am a good man a good man does what he leaves an inheritance to his children's children generational wealth if everything dies with you you are a failure if you leave a mortgage for your children to pay you are a bad man not a good woman ah it's calm now look in the kingdom of god you must think generational all the time leave your children a blessing not a curse don't leave them asset deficits some of you are praying for god to bless you with material resources and god He refuses to give it to you because he was waiting for this session because he knew that you were not ready for wealth, you would waste it, you would consume it on yourself.

True wealth is in these seven areas. Go home and teach them to your children. and daughters, let your sons see this list and tell them, my dear daughter and son, this is wealth, first become rich with God, then let your soul become rich, read, study, learn, grow and buy the books from Dr. Monroe, develop your physical body, don't smoke. don't drink don't watch bad things don't read bad material don't do drugs don't abuse your body without sleeping don't have sex outside of marriage take care of your body get rich in your physical body tell them where the wealth is and look at that list I don't have money because money is not wealth I hope you never forget me today take me to your future I am a rich man because my son and daughter are overseeing my investments imagine the feeling I have that my son and daughter will protect what I worked for that is the wealth that my wife still loves me it's okay that my board of directors has been with me for 35 years the same board of directors that is the wealth that my friends who have had are still with me for 50 years this is wealth and the new friends that I am gaining can be active for my life this is wealth write this please rich thinking I'm going to see now who is in the room there are three types of people in the world there are poor people the rich and the rich are completely different if you want to know how the poor think and the rich and if people think then write this the poor always think about money don't look now there's one right behind you don't do it look, keep looking at me all they talk about is money, I have enough, I need more, I need you Raise me, I need more money, I don't have enough, I can't pay this, oh, if I had more money, oh God, give me money. oh blessed money is money money these are poor people the rich are different they think about things this is my car this is my suit this is my house do you like my bag look at my shirt I have a nice blouse look at my shoes big antennas look at that nice building that I built like they talk about things look at my boat look at my yacht these are rich people they are crazy that's all they talk about what they have but rich people are different rich people think of ideas this is where god lives this is the arena where god lives wants you to come god sent you to this meeting to get ideas to get new principles of his work and his word a man with ideas is always rich a poor man is aman who has no ideas so that rich people do not think about money they never talk about their things they talk about ideas they give people ideas they discuss ideas this is the level of the kingdom thinking are you listening to me?

You, the secret to getting out of the poverty in your country. You must stop looking for money. Money is not the problem. The Kingdom of God is not based on money, it is based on ideas. For you spiritual people, let me explain it to you. Well, hey, boy, say John. chapter one, okay, write john chapter 1 in your notes john chapter 1 verse 1. there is a verse that you think you know that says in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god, wait a minute, now this is deep stuff here and then it says all things were made by the word okay it's good verse 12 and the word became flesh wow boy this word must be important uh okay write the word word on your language word, the word word in this verse is a Hebrew word translated into a Greek word the Greek new testament is the word logos o g o s write it down the logos that shout the word logos do you know what it means? means idea expressed write it idea expressed this scripture verse is very difficult to translate because it doesn't make sense in your language, for example, this is the way it would read at the beginning was the idea expressed by God the idea of ​​God was God and the idea of ​​God created everything and the idea of ​​God became flesh and lived among us Look, I told you the most powerful thing on earth is idea God sent ideas to save the world because the world had wrong ideas Jesus Christ is idea of ​​God in a body you are as poor as your ideas you are as rich as your ideas jesus christ created all things well ideas create say it then the bible says that all things were made by who he he who the word the word who ideas expressed you know that everything in this room was first an idea your shoe was first an idea your dress was first an idea your watch was first an idea your ipad was first an idea this building was first an architectural idea this meeting was first an idea everything starts as an idea like this there's no idea nothing idea little little thing big idea big thing so I'm wondering which one are you are you poor are you rich or are you are you rich I'm not sure but we'll find out oh boy write this down please money is chased People chase money, wealth is accumulated, but wealth is different, wealth is created and they are different, God does not want you to chase money and him.

He doesn't want you to accumulate things. We read it a moment ago. A man's life does not consist of the things he accumulates. If you need things to feel important, you are poor. You don't need things to feel important. You do the important things because they come into your life, but people rich creates money. That's why, in the midst of a global crisis, rich people don't panic. They think that if you study Jesus every time he was caught in a crisis, he had a plan that you think he didn't. Panic, you think it takes the same energy to worry as it does to plan, so use your energy appropriately.

Panic requires energy. Planning requires energy. So convert your energy. I have built a multi-million dollar organization. I've been sitting in board meetings my entire life. I am on the boards of hospitals, banks and insurance companies and we sit in meetings to discuss big issues and I always participate in the meetings and I am president of some of those banks or those hospital board meetings and my job is to ensure that there are solutions that's why they want him to be president because they know that this guy never panics why he is in the kingdom of god he has access to wisdom they have no glory halle blue yes, when pharaoh asks joseph where did you get this wisdom from? because he knew it didn't come from the university of egypt joseph says my god everyone says it my god gives me wisdom that means god gave me this idea to dig holes in the desert and put the wheat in the holes it was a divine idea it was a business idea that saved Egypt's economy another idea to write down money is collected poor people are always collecting money they keep it in their chest they keep it under the mattress they keep it in a hole outside the store they always save things the rich store money They like to hide it in the banks hiding investment companies but rich people are different they literally take money and multiply it the rich multiply the money multiply they make the money grow I want you to go home and ask God for wisdom to multiply everything you have always There is More to what you have when we were building our building for our ministry to gather enough meetings.

We designed the largest building on the island and built it and I told the board that we will not build this building as a church building. to build this as a community center, so we designed this beautiful building and we didn't name it after a church. We call the building the center of diplomats for diplomats because we are people of the kingdom and we are ambassadors. An ambassador is a diplomat, so we designed a beautiful building. auditorium first class lobby with tiles and we called it diplomatic center the bathrooms with marble nice beautiful parking lights and every church attacked me they put me in the newspapers the preacher said I was a cult because it didn't have a bell tower the building had no benches in the The building had no altar, it had no candles, there was no cross on the building, they said you are not from God, no problem, but what they didn't know is that I am a businessman and I realized that I had to pay for this building without debt, so that we designed the building in a way that it can be used for any function, we put first class technology, television cameras, lights, automatic audit, audio equipment, big stage, first class, now our building is the number one building used by the government of our country for colleges, graduations, high school starts and they have to pay us a lot of money, clap your hands, now let me explain why some of you pastors built a church building and only use it twice a week .

You should be ashamed of yourself, that means that for five days the building is there without generating income, you have to pay for the blocks and bricks, you have to pay for the electricity, the building is dead for five days and does not produce anything, you are abusing God's resources. multiply the rich man says look at our church building look how beautiful it is look at the blocks and jesus said none of them will stand on top of each other they laughed at the building because they were worshiping the building instead of using it how do you think?

There was a lady that came to my office and this lady heard the real story of this woman, she came out and was crying and told my secretary that I have to see Dr. Monroe now or I'm going to die, well, thank God, My wife didn't. I need to see me at the same time because there would have been a funeral next week so I let her come to the office and she sat down and just sat in the chair and said dr. monroe this is it my life is over and she started crying and i said what happened she said oh i have two kids no husband and i just lost my job and i have no income and this is my last paycheck i don't know what do I'm going to die and she was crying and I told her why are you crying she said you didn't listen to what I said I just lost my job at the hotel they fired me and I have no money and I only have two children to feed and rent to pay and electricity to pay and water to pay and she is crying and I said dear you have no problems you are thinking wrong she said what do you mean I said ah listen I said you have an oven in your house yes how often do you use it Every Sunday I said you have an oven in your house that you paid with God's money and you only use it once a week yes, I said it for five for six days your oven is dead yes, I said you're not broke, right? no poor you're just not thinking what you mean I said look I said take your last check first pay your tithes what I said yes please I said protect yourself against the troubles of heaven okay I said I'm going to the grocery store with the rest of it's buy some of flour and some raisins and a little oatmeal I said because I know you I remember you you made me some cookies before I received a gift yes I said make some cookies with the money bake them in your oven and take them back to the hotel where they said goodbye to you and give cookies free to everyone in the hotel what I said obey me she said but this is my last check I said don't worry about it now just follow my instructions I'm giving you an idea everyone is the idea so she said okay pasta so she went to home she baked the cookies she put my little plastic bags and took them back to the hotel she gave some to the manager who fired her free cookies she gave them to all the workers all the managers all had cookies the next morning she received more phone calls and said yes, I will make some and in one day he received orders for 15 dozen cookies.

He had to go out and buy more flour. She baked those cookies in a month. She was baking 50 dozen. cookies a month a year later she had a staff of 22 people in a cookie factory today her cookies are in all the big stores in the country she is a multimillionaire and has ties to the church come on praise the lord amen right there when she won her first 50,000 dollars she came to see me and she was dressed in all her clothes there she was CEO of a company, you know what I mean, a culinary industry and she said: I'm just here to tell you, thank you.

She said the best thing that ever happened to me was getting fired today She's the number one cookie seller in the country Driving a nice car She never looked for money She never looked for money She had an idea and then she gave me an envelope She says this is the person they call you thank you when she left I opened the envelope hallelujah ten thousand dollars I said thank you very much sir and I said sir please give me more cookies woman she was sitting on wealth in her house she was in an oven she was not using I wonder what is in your house you are not poor you need to think let me close with the scripture genesis chapter 26 Does God want you rich let's find out it says in genesis chapter 26 verse 12 Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year he harvested a hundred times more because the Lord blessed him that he was on this land right here the man became rich, okay, he was no longer poor, he became rich, that is the second level, but look, God, it says about his wealth what he continued. he grew, he became rich now and he became something that was not rich, rich, that means he went from material to ideas, he had so many flocks and herds and staff from employers that he hired, other people gave them work because he pursued the will of God for your life and the Bible says.

What the Philistines envied him, my question is how many rich people envy you? and this is the problem. Paul says that if you are going to win the Jew, you have to make him jealous. How do you make a rich man jealous? I'm going to leave that. Right there you discovered everything for yourself you are very intelligent people the Philistines envied him because God made him rich therefore God does not give wealth let's read it Deuteronomy 8 verse 17. God says when you become rich you can tell yourself my hands and my strength has produced this wealth for me, but that is not true, he says: remember the lord, because it is he who looks at this who gives you what is not wealth, the ability to produce wealth.

Wow, God doesn't give money, he gives ideas. I'm going to go. now but I want you to take your pen and write this simple list the word ability this is what it means means ideas means schemes concepts and projects god will give you ideas he will give you schemes he will give you concepts he will give you you have the ability to produce wealth, he says yes produce something, it will never end if you can produce something, you will always have it the poor lose money the rich lose things the rich keep producing keep producing god says I don't want you to pray for something that ends, pray for something that keeps producing ideas, keeps producing .

I met Bill Gates for the first time in Tacoma, Washington. He was speaking at a leadership conference and his assistant was there and when he heard me speak, he was on his board and he came. He told me it was the best information he had ever heard about leadership. She says I want you to meet Mr. Gates. What he is teaching. We need to program this into our systems. He surprised me a lot. I said yes, ma'am. I would like to. to meet bill gates, who wouldn't like to meet bill gates, so the next day she made lunch in tacoma, washington and we ran there, that's where her house is, you know, in washington, and we went to lunch and I was so humble that we met him at this beautiful restaurant and you know he's a very humble guy.

I don't know a blue jeans shirt. The richest man in the world. be around you so we had this amazing lunch together and I was very excited to be with him as I was with Nelson Mandela, many other leaders and I learned a lesson here: whenever you are with successful people, never talk about yourself, ask . questions I just gave you some good advice write it down when you are with successful people don't talk about yourself ask questions and for an hour and 55 minutes I had the richest man in the world sitting with me and I used every minute asking questions one of my questions to him was why did you refuse to stay on your own board?

Here's an interesting question, he said, huh,He said, you're a very smart guy. I told him I know I'm smart, but I want to know why you're smart. Did you see that the board asked him to join the board and he said okay and got on the Microsoft board? He lasted a year and said he hated this job and wanted to know why he left the board of his own company. his answer was very simple, he said because I am not a boring man, I am a man of ideas, he said when I was on the board I stopped creating and Microsoft became a victim so I resigned from my own board, he said to do what I love thinking more, maybe you're bored, it's your problem, maybe the people around you and who talk to you are helping you with your poverty.

Show me your friends and I'll show you your future. God says I don't give money and I don't give you all the wealth. the ability to produce it stand up I want to pray for your mind tell your neighbor this is the end of poverty tell your neighbor I don't want to be rich I want to be rich stand up please thank you put your hand on your head both hands on your head stand in your head what you are doing now I did this 41 years ago I put my hand on my head and everything changed I prayed that God would give me what he gave Solomon For the first time in your life you will stop praying for things and pray for another stuff?

You will pray for divine wisdom, knowledge, understanding and divine insights. Go ahead, ask God right now, ask Him to forgive you for chasing money, ask Him for forgiveness for accumulating wealth, ask Him. to give you the spirit of wealth that you will go home and create answers to problems you will solve problems and not become one that you will give solutions that will be valuable ask god to open your eyes to see a banquet of five loaves and two fish Ask me let him give you the idea of ​​seeing a table on a tree, ask him to show you the ability to see shoes on a cow, oh God, arise from among these people, dispense ideas, I pray that wealth is in his house forever and that they will return home with a new mind and a new idea to transform their families that poverty will never live in your house again that your mind will always be full of divine ideas thank you once again for listening to this message we hope it was of blessing For you, our goal is to show you new paths and opportunities so you can discover your purpose.
