BY: DR. PAUL ENENCHE
SERVICE OBJECTIVE(S): Understanding practical wisdom actions for supernatural supplies.
FINANCIAL WISDOM FOR ACCESSING SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES:
- Live within your means (Prov. 22:7; Deut. 15:6; 28:12; Rom. 13:8; Deut. 28:1)
Avoid the borrower’s lifestyle
7a. Borrowing empties tomorrow into today such that when tomorrow arrives, it is empty
7b. Borrowing is the mismanagement of life, destiny and finances
7c. Borrowing is an anti-covenant operation that counteracts the benefit of covenant practice
One of the greatest destroyers of life and of the future is the borrower’s lifestyle
When you get money through borrowing, you have a negative balance against your future and the future must subtract it
7d. Borrowing is spending money you don’t have such that when money arrives, it has already been spent
7e. Borrowing is the establishment of the status of servanthood and it excludes people from the realm of financial mastery
7f. Borrowing is disobedience of clearly stated Divine instruction and that forbids the flow of the Blessing (Deut. 28:1)
Life is in phases and men are in sizes accept your size per time - Look up to no one but God (Ps. 34:5; Gen. 14:22-23; Jer. 17:5-8; Ps. 118:8-9; Prov. 25:19)
8a. Looking up to man is looking away from God
8b. Looking away from God is looking away from good
8c. Looking up to man is signature for shame
Man can be your channel but let God remain your Source
If your supplies must come from God, your eyes must be on God
To look up to man is to sign up for shame because man can fail, man can change and man can die
8d. Looking up to God positions man for the blessing but looking up to man positions people for curses
8e. There is no limit to the celebration of those who look up to God and there is no limit to the frustration of those who look up to man - Identify needs and meet them (Gen. 40:6-8; Ex. 2:15-21)
Looking out for needs and meeting them took Joseph from where he was in life to the palace
If you love your neighbour as yourself, you will not know what it means to be poor – RUSSELL CONWELL
Don’t look for money for money’s sake, look for money to make meaning and money will look for you
9a. When needs are met, rewards are released
9b. Wealth creation happens with solution provision
Look at human needs, look for a way to reduce the pressure of people and money will locate you
9c. Success in life is a product of the release of answers
Let us stop pursuing money and let us start pursuing meaning
When you solve people’s problems, they will thank you and still pay you
9d. The tackling of necessity is the doorway to accessing prosperity - Access Divine ideas (Prov. 4:23; 21:5)
The things that will flow out of your life will first flow out of your mind
10a. A wise man said, ‘wealth is essentially a product of a man’s capacity to think’.
10b. To be successful you must be strategic and to think deep is to fly high in all realms
10c. Ideas translate into wealth effortlessly
10d. Mental strategy is superior to physical energy in accessing the supplies of life
Work hard but work smarter - Remain steadfast (Gal. 6:9; Hab. 2:3; Eccl. 11:6)
11a. It is not enough to do the right thing, it is important to do the right thing for as long as it takes to see the right results
11b. Persistence cures resistance and grants inheritance
11c. Repeated positive action will always culminate in desired positive outcome
When your due season is about to come, the devil tempts you with weariness
Whatever good you know to do, keep doing
11d. All you can do is all you can do and all you can do is enough
11e. Due season will always arrive for the persistent
11f. Results are created, not by occasional actions but by repeated, persistent actions
Anything in life that will produce maximally, must be pursued tenaciously - Maintain the attitude of gratitude (Ps. 67:5-7; Joel 1:11-12)
12a. A positive attitude will give birth to a positive altitude
Gratitude secures past and present blessings and attracts future blessings
Maintain excitement and you will receive fulfilment
Positivism, optimism and enthusiasm are the doorway to dynamism in life
Don’t hand over your joy to anybody; don’t let anybody be the determinant of your joy per time – when they want you to cry, laugh for them. If they want to frustrate you frustrate them with your excitement.
Information can make you intelligent but actions make you wise
You know an intelligent man by the things he says but you know a wise man by the steps he takes
What you know doesn’t make you wise until you translate it into action
