Unlocking The Kingdom Concept of WEALTH by Dr Myles Munroe

the Kingdom Purpose for resources and money, say it the Kingdom Purpose for resources and money and you want to take notes because you are going to follow some things to get you out of debt and also to stay out of debt and some principles that I I have used in my personal walk with the holy spirit that got me out of debt I am out of debt personally and I tell you it is because I learned what I am going to teach you tonight you are going to learn some of my secrets and I got them all from the book of the

kingdom

The Bible.

I want to start first of all by talking a little bit about the

concept

of

kingdom

wealth

and as you know, we are dealing with the application of the kingdom of God to the Earth and I want to remind you in this particular segment of a reintroduction of the big picture that God has a couple of statements you want to write, number one: God's original purpose and plan was to extend this Heavenly Kingdom to Earth, that is God's original plan. It is a rich place, the asphalt of the streets of heaven is made of gold, so when you talk about

wealth

, if you don't like wealth, don't go to heaven now, if a kingdom is rich and has a colony, then the colony . it is to reflect the nature of that Kingdom because the purpose of colonization is to extend the influence of the Kingdom to a foreign territory so I want you to understand this image remember if you are thinking, you think it is wrong, your life is wrong, if your thought is right , your life will begin to align with your thinking and your life will begin to be correct.

I don't chase wealth or look for money why because in my country where I'm from wealth is part of our culture my country no one is poor in my country no one where I'm from no one is poor so poverty is a foreign experience for people from my country where I'm from I used to live in the Bahamas you know I thought I was from the Bahamas but I'm actually from heaven in case you don't know and in my country there is no depression there is no poverty listen I believe that with all my being and this is how I think now and for you to think like this we have To start with this

concept

, if the kingdom is colonizing a territory, the territory will reflect the nature of that Kingdom in the same way that the Bahamas reflects the nature of Great Britain in the way in what we live, in what we eat, in what we drink and in how we drive.

If a kingdom is rich like Heaven, then the colony of people on the planet who represent that kingdom are supposed to reflect that Kingdom and are not rich so they can boast or compete with each other or brag about what they do. They have because what they have is not theirs, so point number three is important, write this down. Wealth in a kingdom is the personal property of the king. I want you to start thinking that way, otherwise you won't get out of debt. Wealth is what the personal property of the King now in a kingdom no one owns anything the king owns everything the land the animals the forest the waters and the people everything in a kingdom is the personal property of the king this is important because if you do not understand this point You will continue to run after money, you will chase material things, and you will compete with other people for resources, but if you receive a revelation, I hope you will receive it sometime this year, hopefully tonight, that you do not possess anything, so if that ever hits you, no one can rob you.

Listen, people can only steal from you if you think you own it. I tell you these things are heavy. I have a lot of material to give you tonight, but if you don't understand the first slide, I'd better leave it alone. because it will not work unless your Concepts change. The concepts of the Kingdom are the most important thing you can capture in the world, that is why I wrote the first two books only on Concepts, because if you don't understand the right concepts, you will be lost. in the activity listen, if you are in a kingdom you don't own anything, if you don't own anything you can't lose anything nor can anyone steal, so crime is only possible when ownership is present, it's a profound statement, now here is the problem.

I call it a culture shock. raised in a culture like mine that teaches you to think about ownership, all culture is built, I mean, capitalism is built, Western society is built, all culture is built on two ideas, one, independence, two , personal property and both concepts are anti-Kingdom you are abusing ignoring the dirt I gave you now you realize before it closes tonight I'm going to see myself use two words over and over again the two words come together because we keep thinking of money as No money, they are resources, God's concern, but resources, everything is resources after a long time, a long time implies that he gave up on the planet and God returned for a long time to see how he was doing.

It's been 7,000 years and God is still trying to figure out what everyone is doing. to that planet the man who had received the five talents bought the other five he bought the other five so he had 10 correct he said Master look you entrusted me everyone says confident underline it please you God gives you money and resources like a trust you consume everything in you, you entrusted me with that, by the way, the word in trust means that this guy understood that it was in his property even though it was given to him, he refused to own it, he says that you trust to trust means that I left you this and that is still mine, If you are going to adopt the right attitude in Heaven's culture about resources, materialism and money, you will have to convert with my first statement on my slide, He owns everything, all the time.

Can I hear an amen? Was that man an intelligent man? Okay, if I left my car with you and left for 3 months, that your car is never your car, so it's called Trusting Trusting Trusting means it will never be yours now that I come back. and my cars are smashed smashed lights broken windows broken engine smoking nothing works do you know how I feel about you? If you read the last verse of this story it says that Jesus said his thing to him it says cast that useless, useless servant into the outer darkness. that right there, in other words, I don't even want to see it.

What you ruined my car, I gave you my car to use and you destroyed it, you know what I discovered, something we use the concept of tithing to claim ownership of the name. at 90% oh that's heavy but I don't give God his God no no no no no what you left on the left is also mine look in other words the whole idea but I didn't pay my you this mine God said no It's not yours either , I could go back for another 20% to give to someone so now God has a fight to get it and then you try to hold it for him to take it all with some sicknesses and ailments just to remind you that none of this is yours let me put it this way when you give God a tithe look at me this is deep now the pressure starts why he got his now he's watching you to see how you handle his 90% that's pressure so there's more pressure after you understand that yeah yeah so God wants to know, okay, $1,000 you got as a bonus for Christmas.

I want you to go back and tell what you did with them and then write down everything you did with it, you'll be surprised. how you abuse that and then he says, come pray again for another 10,000 Lord, what am I going to do with you God, say what I can do with you to get you back to 100, you say, start again, let me watch you, dont do it. moving away from God in the Kingdom management is the highest job is the highest job earned five more verse 21 his teacher responded look at this good and faithful servant well done well done how good everyone says well underline that please well in other words yes no Don't increase what he gave you, multiply it and make it beneficial to bless more people with it.

You're not good, that's why people are stressed. Tonight I will show you the Scriptures why God hides money from you. I'm going to show you straight from the Bible why he does it and he does it because you're a capitalist, you're an earthling and you're trapped in a system that encourages the belief that you own things and that same belief is what keeps you from owning things. Please Lord help me and somehow I am praying for God to remove that thing from your mind. This is going to take a while because you grew up there, but we are going to start tonight and you must ask God how about a miracle someone wants a miracle ask put your hand here say Lord destroy my ungodly thought remove from my mind remove the cultural cultural damage from the world of the world and give me and give me your culture your culture of the kingdom of the Kingdom in the name of Jesus I receive it hallelujah praise God he has to heal your mind and this point is important in a kingdom the king owns everything personally number four the kingdom gives The kingdom gives its wealth to its citizens to achieve its purposes in the colony.

This is very important statement: the Kingdom and the King. The King himself is the owner of everything and everything he gives you is not for you, it is for his purposes in the colony. This is important because the moment you think that what you receive is yours, you close it and stop it. With you you cling to it and that is anti-Kingdom if God cannot get it through you, He will not give it to you. Whatever God gives you is to achieve his purpose in quality. I remember the writing exploding in my mind in the moment. moment Deuteronomy chapter 7 and chapter 8 are important chapters to read is when the Lord took them out of Egypt he began to tell them how they should think about their attitudes and then he told them he said he said I am your God and it is I who will give you the power to obtain wealth now that word power there means ability or skill I will give you the ability the power the ability to obtain riches and the phrase ends like this so that I can fulfill my Covenant that I made with Abraham in In other words, I will make you rich to fulfill my Covenant on the earth, so every time the king gives you resources, remember that your first question should be what is it for, not who, what is it for, because you want to say that it is you. immediately and that brings me to this important final statement in the introduction and that is that the citizen of the kingdom is responsible to the king for the use and management of his resources.

Please make sure everyone in this room receives a copy of this CD. or DVD when it's over because I'm going to give you a lot of information that you need to change your way of thinking and to do that you keep listening at least seven times, listen to this seven times so that your mind changes from the kingdom. The citizen is responsible to whom, the king, for the use and management of his resources. He owns everything He gives it to you for His purposes and then holds you accountable to Him for how you use it and how you use it. handle it basic fundamentals in the Kingdom now let's move on to this particular story Matthew chapter 25 if you look at verse one of Matthew 25 you will find that Jesus Christ is still talking about his only message and he opens the passage in this way he says again the The Kingdom of Heaven is like and then he gave these different stories, in other words, these stories are about the kingdom of God, so you cannot read, preach or teach these passages outside the context of the kingdom of God, these are stories of the Kingdom and he begins .

When he said the Kingdom of Heaven is like this and then he tells this beautiful story that everyone remembers, let's read it for the first time. He said again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who went on a journey who called his servants and entrusted them with his goods for them. Hey boy, think about the statement, now there is a man who goes on a trip and does what he entrusts his property to who is his Serv. Okay, now let's see if we can connect that. Remember now that these are not supposed to be literal stories. trying to explain the kingdom, okay the kingdom begins in Genesis 1:26 Dominion Dominion the word mlak or the name is Da in Hebrew da or mlak and both mean Dominion rule Authority Kingdom in Genesis 126 the Lord the Lord created the heavens and the earth Everyone follow me now heavens and the Earth then he finished the property the Earth was created before man was freed then the property preceded the steward yes then Christ is returning to the story he said look I'm trying to tell you in a thousand different ways Here is another way, there was a man who had property, he made this property and left it in the hands of his servants.

Now the servants are actually his children, who happen to be humanity on Earth, he is trying to connect, he is telling the people in that area. that culture that knows about servants and property is using that scenario that resembles that example to explain Genesis 1: 126 said look God created you he had property and told you take care of that for me have dominion over the Earth clear Are you sure that Alright? That's exactly what he's talking about, he's talking about governing his property. Point number two, he tells one that he gave him five talents of money now, why does Jesus use money?

You'll see in a minute why he uses money, money. It's the most personal thing for everyone. Money is so personal that we keep it in our purse. That's why we call it a person. It's so personal that only you know how much you don't have to pretend all the time. It's so personal that if someone wants it, it's a fight. very personal and money is the most powerful thing on earth after God that's why he uses money Jesus said this to his disciples his students said that there are only two teachers on earth God and he never mentions the devil you still think that the devil is powerful She said there is nothing more powerful than the devil and you have something in your bag right now he made money more powerful than Satan because money is very personal and he says you can't serve both of them, huh, he says this man gave, everyone says, gave, I want you to do it. underline each word I emphasize underline those words hewhat he gave talents of money talents is a certain amount of money the word talent means a certain amount of money in measure of money to another he gave two talents to another he gave a talent to each one according to his ability everyone It says capacity capacity according to what in other words he gave, not according to how much he had, according to what they have the capacity to administer the kingdom.

It has no lack or scarcity, it has no limit in wealth, so if there is scarcity in your life it has nothing to do with it. with God read the statement again he says he gave them not how much he wanted to give them he gave them how much they had the ability to handle so that God does not determine what you get In this kingdom, you can change your way of thinking now, change your way of thinking, so that what you have to do is not even pray for certain things. Your ability should determine what you pray for.

That's terrifying. You ask God for 10,000 bus stops. Do you know something I gave you? you $100 last week you didn't even pay tithes so now your prayer is frustrating you, you don't get the thousand and then you tell God that he doesn't answer prayer, he answered your prayer completely, he can't handle a thousand. so he answered your prayer, he didn't give it to you the amount was determined by the person the recipient's ability to manage it now look at this last part he says then he left on his trip that means and I have a list to show you this in a few minutes, this is the list you get: the powerful principles, that's an important statement, let everyone say it's gone, emphasize that please, it's gone, it's gone, that's important, in other words, God gives you things and then He lets you handle them, he gave them to you. a brain gave you his spirit he gave you intelligence he gave you wisdom he gave you his word he says now I'm not going to tell you what to do with that money I'm going to see how you handle it yourself he leaves God told Adam to make a minion and then God It was when God returned a snake was in the judge God says I don't know where in the world you are I didn't leave you the way you were I left you in charge you mismanaged the garden what to do God expelled him any mismanagement God expels you look at the next verse it gets worse smile Matthew 25:16 the man who had received the five talents went immediately and put his money to work everyone says money to work underline it money to work everyone says money to work say it again he didn't go to work see you you missed everything the Apocalypse because in the kingdom of God you don't work for money money works for you every time God gives you resources he wants it to work for you what causes us to die young and sick and depressed and age quickly is the fact that we have invested this principle of the Kingdom we look for two jobs two jobs and a half jobs we don't even return home if you work for money Guess who's the boss Christ has only two masters on the planet Hallelujah I hear you I'm sorry and the governor is too close to me or he's shouting listen Hallelujah you're supposed to work for a purpose not for money if you find your purpose the money will find you if you're not in your purpose you haven't found your purpose you're still working for money money is your boss Jesus tried to explain this once with a simple example he said why do you worry in other words why are you chasing what will you eat what will you drink trying to get things getting money to buy food clothes and stuff he said what are you doing then he says look at the birds now the birds are important He says look look look Bo said they they don't worry they don't work they don't plant it's not them they they said and the father takes care of them what's the only thing a bird does be a bird be a bird get it you get it later I'm leaving tonight He said look look at the bird said be like birds find what you do what birds do birds are birds so birds whatever birds do that's what birds do birds don't try to be a horse you never see a bird trying from being a cow you never see a bird trying to lay eggs or anything you know how I mean I'm sorry like having children like cows and things children calves calves you all know what I'm talking about you know a bird will do it never try to be a crocodile the bird never tries the human is the only creature that tries to be something they are not the purpose attracts prosperity for its fulfillment I repeat the purpose attracts prosperity for its own fulfillment why because God will always finance his own products his own allocations his own purpose that's why Jesus is saying here you don't work for money he put the money to work he says that the one who had the two talents earned two more the man who had received one talent left everyone said they left hey the people were leaving, You know what I think, it implies that they seem busy, but that's okay, he left like he was doing something, guess what he did, he went to bury something, some people, some people are taking everything. their wealth and bury it in some job that doesn't benefit them they look busy so where are you going I'm going to work I tell you that today will be difficult where are you going I'm going to work people can leave and be busy and never arrive their mortgage always paid Robin Peter to pay Junior because they don't understand the power of money, he left, he dug a hole, everyone dug a hole, how many of you know what a hole in finance is, don't just raise your hand if you know. what a hole it is, come on all of you, everyone raise your hand, stop lying, there's a hole where every time you put it in, it disappears every time you put it in, this is like you ever put a pocket with a hole in it, yeah, Some of you. you know your payday is already paid happens here?

It's just that my children have not locked themselves into the culture of the Kingdom. Money does not exist. Did you know that I learned that years ago from a very rich man that I was free of money that day? He says that money is an idea, it's in your head. It's An idea, there is a book called Think and Grow Rich, do you know what your book says? Work and Get Rich. The book says Think and Grow Rich. He is a multimillionaire salesman. When I read that book, I said this book says exactly what the Bible says that book stole. all the biblical principles and it is selling millions, yet it is a best selling book and it does not say work and get rich, we keep thinking if we work, we get rich, he said no, no, you are not supposed to work to get rich .

You're supposed to work with a purpose, if what you think is right, wealth attracts you, no, it's surprising that Solomon never asked God for money now, let's be honest, if God showed up in your room tonight 2:15 and say, hey, anything you want. I want now, you know, behia, say it right away, listen, I've got my dump truck somewhere filled with a couple billion dollars for me, dump it right here in my yard, you know, that's what we're going for money, he is a teacher and Solomon refused to ask. wealth because wealth is supposed to be a byproduct of Kingdom thinking Solomon asks for mental things, give me wisdom, he says knowledge, understanding, that's all, once I have them in my mind then they will make money for me and Solomon became the richest man in history.

He became richer than his father David and he never asked for money and the first thing we asked for was money. I asked my daughter the other day. I told him what do you want for Christmas money. Said. Said. Responds too quickly. I tell him to tell you. what can I do I'll buy you some books I want you to read This is how your dad became what he is today Was it money that made me what I am? Because money is a lousy God God, money will last in your life until you pay for something, it's gone so if you have sense you will do what Solomon said Proverbs chapter 4 verse 7 one of my favorite verses he said in total yes It costs you everything you have understand Proverbs 4:7 if it costs you he said if you are going to spend money say buy understanding with that we do not want to go buy a nice car our hero we want to buy clothes we want to go to Miami and God is saying no because That's what you ruined now tell your neighbor I'm getting out of the hole, mean it man, say it out loud so it can become a spiritual Force.

I'm getting out of the hole, say it. I'm getting out of the hole, praise God, can you see yourself getting out if you could give it a big hand, can you see yourself getting out of the hole, you know, tithing and giving doesn't necessarily get you out of the trap, you have to add to your works of faith. and then it says add to your It works with the understanding that you have to know how to think even when you give it, that's why I spent so much time on this introduction. My thinking changed years ago and that thinking was that he owns everything and everything in the kingdom is his property and he gives it to me. for your purposes then my thinking is different let me give you another verse verse 19 read aloud with me please everyone read go after a long time the lord of those servants returns and settles accounts with them everyone says accounts accounts that means underlining the word God says Look, I gave you the planet.

I told you what's on the planet. Water. Gemstone. Resin. Oil. Fruit. a head of fresh cabbage I'll give you one from my garden right now I'm serious, okay, so you want fresh hair and fresh cabbage, let me know I'll pick one from my garden and give it to you, anyone here wants broccoli broccoli costs $7 to $8 for a stick if you ask me for one I can pick one right now from my garden and give it to you now you see you think so badly all you want is the broccoli and cabbage you missed My point is I'm saving money because I convert my garden in productivity and the one who has more, you ask God for money to buy groceries, keeps this supermarket behind your house.
