’ARE YOU MARRIED IN-COMMUNITY OF PROPERTY WITH GOD?’

The bible says you cannot serve two masters (God and mammon) at the same time. Two of them are spirits. Mammon is the love of money; it is the spirit of loving money. Money is not the root of all evil but the love of money is. It is a spirit that needs to be mastered. You are not a master if what you have to master, masters you. You cannot say you are mastering money, yet money controls you.

Be honest with yourself. Look at yourself when you have to spend money on anything. If you get something and it brings you joy that you have never had; just know that it is mastering you. Some people lose confidence when there is no money, and some do not have an identity if there is nothing in their bank accounts.

Most of the time, it is not about how people treat you when you have money, but it is how you conduct yourself when you have money. Gold diggers are not only those who come to you when you have money, but you can also be a gold digger as money masters you. Many people are withholding their money. When people give, it does not mean that they do not have responsibilities. When God demands, they do not withhold.

It is easy to give out your body than to give money; even though your body is worth more than what is in your pocket. It is easy to serve but it is hard to give. When families plan to do something like building a house, they do not withhold anything. To show that people have money, they are coming out on social media to say that they have invested their money on Forex, and they were robbed. It was easy for the lump sum to be invested in trading than to be offered in the Kingdom of God.

Have you given God the same amount that you invested in Forex at least once in your life? They trusted the market more than God, that is why they were disappointed. Remember, where your treasure is, that is where your heart is. Where you spend your money, that’s where your heart is. There is no scripture that says ‘Where you serve is where your heart is’. Your heart will follow where your money goes. If you are able to play bets, there your heart will be. Most of you paid very large amounts of money for dowry because your heart was with that woman that you saw.

[John 3:5]
“Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”

There are people who are busy with their own lives, they do not know the Kingdom of God nor have they tasted it. You are not yet born of water and Spirit. Water is for death and the Spirit is for resurrection. Unless you die with Christ and rise with Him, you cannot enter the Kingdom. We cannot speak of resurrection if there is no death. We cannot speak of the Spirit if there is no water.

Water is for baptism; that is when we say we are dying with Him. Many of you cannot put your money in the Kingdom, it means that there is no water and Spirit in your life. You have never been born of them. Water kills you. You have to die to be a giver. You need to die to be able to master the master that has mastered you. Only in death, you can master money.

1 Corinthians 13 says, “love is not selfish”. The moment you use the words ‘what about me’, you must know that the love of God has left you. When two people are married, they think of each other not themselves. Where there is love, there is no selfishness. When God demands, you will not give Him excuses. This is a mystery!

[Ephesians 5:22]
”For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body”.

Offering is marriage. When you love someone, you give yourself. Can I be married apart from my assets? I can only do that if I do not trust you. I will want to sign the prenuptial agreement to protect my assets. Many of you are married to Christ-like that. You have signed prenups. You cannot be with Christ and you are not married in community of property. In a prenup, you cannot be one. We become one with the Father when we give everything that belongs to us to Him.

Many Christians do not have the spirit of Lydia. Lydia is the woman who opened her home for the saints. Lydia had hospitality, there is nothing that she kept to herself. When you have such a spirit, everything that you have belongs to the church. If God could not withhold His only Son, what more about other things when we ask? What is on the left-hand side has to be on the right also.

It needs to be the same with us. If we could not withhold our bodies, how much more of our money? You might ask yourself why many pastors are wealthy. Some might have robbed people, but some it is because they are the first people to apply the Word in their lives. God blesses them because they live with His principles. What they teach you is what they apply. When you do not give, it means that you have not yet gone all out. What you gave first is questionable.

If God cannot give you something that you asked for, then His first giving (the Son) is questionable. God can never give you darkness because it is not of Him. When we say pray according to His Will, we are saying pray according to the light. Some things you do not get them because they are in the darkness. They are in the darkness because if you get them, you will fall. God has never denied you anything. Whatever is in the light, God gave you and He will give you.

When Mufasa was with Simba, he told him that whatever the light touches belonged to him. Sometimes we respond like children, we want to go to the elephant’s graveyard where the light does not reach; where we will be exposed to hyenas. When you are a child-like Simba, you believe Scar. Whatever that he whispers in your ears, you want to go, and see what is happening there. Most of the time you do not go alone, you influence others.

The biggest thing that takes people away from salvation is the growth that they want. You want to succeed in a lot of things, you end up losing focus on Christ. You want to go to the graveyards without the roar, just like baby Simba. When you start to roar, the hyenas will not be shaken instead they will laugh at you. You want to go to the world while the world is not afraid of you. You want to sit with unbelievers while they are not shaken by you. Your light cannot shine bright, but you want to expose yourself. That is Simba while he was still a child.

The problem with Simba was the meat that he was eating while he was a child. For him to grow, the meat had to be taken away, and he started to eat insects. Sometimes when you spend time with lions, you think you have grown; until you stay with a warthog and a meerkat; that is when you will realize that you are still a baby. It is your surrounding that fools you sometimes. For the mere fact that you can play soccer with your spiritual father now, you think you have matured.

My wife asked me a question last night, she said “Why is it that people who are close to the men of God are the ones who fall the most?”The problem with Simba is when he spends time with Mufasa, he thinks he can roar like him. He did not see that every time when he tries to roar, Mufasa roars in the background.

When Mufasa was encouraging Simba, he thought that he could do it on his own. That is why Simba had to go to the farm and be separated, where he would learn the roar. He was eating insects, no more meat, and he grew. When he went back, he was ready to face Scar. It is the revelations that you utter that destroy you. The meat that you eat every day makes you think that you have made it. You cannot see that every time when you were performing, it was the father in the background.

The thing is, you ask what is not in the light. You are a cub like Simba, but you are concerned about what darkness touches while you have not yet mastered what the light touches. Simba’s mind was always on what Scar whispered to him even though the father taught him first. He meditated on what Scar said to him. Instead of recruiting Nala and teaching her about the light, he misleads her. He even influenced her to run away from Zazu (the guardian that Mufasa had given them). They went to the graveyards to face the hyenas in the name of ‘we are brave’ but there was no roar.

Mufasa died trying to save Simba because he was lured again to a place where he was not supposed to be in, just because of a roar. Something that he would get when he matures made him lose his father. He was told that he would attain his roar at that place, all he had in mind was the roar not the character of the father. He wanted to sound like the father but without the character of the father. Many of you want to have my success, not my character. You are not ready to have anything if you do not have the character of the father, even if you have its qualification.

Not that God has denied you many things, they were in darkness. What did you expect from Mufasa when Simba said he wants the graveyard of elephants? Mufasa told him that the place does not belong to them. There are things that you want that does not belong to you.

[Romans 8:32]
“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for all of us, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?”

The Son and the Father are one. It means the Father gave Himself. Many people have gone and exchanged their souls for what they want. The wisdom of this world will kill you. If we say that we have given ourselves to Him but there are things that we withhold, then our relationship is questionable. What is required now can disqualify your first giving. You said that you are a living sacrifice, but because you withheld a certain portion of the money, God can disqualify you.

What made the offering of Cain to be rejected is that he withheld hence, God came and said “If you do good, will you not be accepted?” Cain could still come in the presence of God, it means that he first gave himself, but when God demanded something, he withheld then he was disqualified. One thing led to the other. Some of you, your weaknesses started in your offering. Cain was not a murderer, but because he withheld, he became a murderer. Offering can make you a sinner only because you withhold something.

[Ephesians 5:28]
“So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself”.

Do you love the Kingdom as though it was your own body? If you cannot give because you are busy with something, you have rejected yourself. The bible says we are the body of Christ and Christ is our head. If you have not formed part of what we are doing now at church, your head is dirty. You have not washed your head. What is the use of your body being clean but your head being dirty? The head does not even need more attention than the body. You will have plenty of time to take care of yourself. We are not going to have this time forever, the time where we build a church.

[1 Corinthians 7:4]
“Let the husband render to his wife the affection due to her, and likewise also the wife to her husband”.

You are not married to Christ if you withhold something. We are married to Him in-community of property. It is not only our bodies that we give but also our assets. Give and let us build, God will take care of the rest.

[Ephesians 5:32-33]
“This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”

Everything that Paul has been speaking about is Christ and the church, not us. We do not give so that we can be blessed. It starts with the church not withholding what belongs to it, the church cannot say money belongs to it. It all belongs to the head, the husband(Christ). The husband has authority over the money. Likewise, the husband cannot withhold anything as well.

It starts with us being givers, then God will not withhold anything from us. The husband will not have authority over his belongings but you will. There are people who are robbed a lot of money, the devil knew that in that way he was dealing with their hearts. When they are robbed by ministers, they will never give anymore, and they will not be in the Kingdom. The biggest thing that has been robbed from them is the Kingdom, not money. They lost confidence in giving therefore their hearts will never be in the Kingdom. There are people who gave before you came, but now they are no longer with us; they lost focus. Do not be like them!
