“The Spirit of Wealth” with Pastor Ejimi
Excerpt from “The Spirit of Wealth” with Pastor Daniel Olawande and Pastor Ejimi
Financial freedom is the ability to afford whatever you want in the quantity you want, whenever you want it and still retain the time energy and peace of mind to enjoy it.
That said, believers have to understand that prosperity is the exact will of God not something that is good or optional, and our reality is that we are rich and children of a rich man. We must see financial pursuit as important as prayer. A prosperous believer will bring many to the kingdom using his wealth, the devil knows it so he twists our convictions into believing we should be poor.
To be noted: We are not trying to be prosperous because of needs, but it is part of the salvation package.
Question by Pastor Daniel Olawande:
What is Money?
Pastor Ejimi describes money in 4 ways:
1. Money is a reward for demonstrating mastery.
It is impossible to have mastery and be poor! Mastery moves you from a level of lack to scarcity, to supply and then to surplus.
Gain Mastery in whatever field or work you choose or are passionate about. Mastery distinguishes you.
So what are you passionate about? Gain mastery in it! you are passionate about God but you do not have mastery with God. Passionate about wealth creation but do not have mastery with wealth.
Its not what you do, it is who you do it for, and how well you can do it.
2. Money is the reward for solving a specific painful problem.
When a person demonstrates mastery, they reward you at their level (with what they have) but when you solve a problem, they will reward you at your level (you call the shots) A very good barber who has mastered the art can’t charge more than the billionaire he barbing for can pay but a neurosurgeon will charge whatever amount he wants to perform a surgery and they will have to look for it.
God wants us to solve problems!
Look around you for problems that you and people around you have and confer solution to it.
3. Money is a compensation for relationships
For relationships to be sustained, resources must be exchanged! So the more quality relationships you have, the richer you will be.
Your network also determines your net-worth
4. Money is a tribute to a king for going the way and showing the way.
You provide leadership in an area, and resources will flow in naturally. For example P. Daniel is leading a nation of fire, he is providing leadership in that area. The resources he needs will naturally flow in.
So, what nation are you leading? Nation of barbers, nation of once broken people (You were once broken and now you show people the way to be whole again, the naturally follow you and resources come in), nation of doctors, nation of teenagers. Etc.
Question: How do you gain mastery?
Pastor Ejimi:
Borrow vessels! Look for people who have converted their spiritual gift into money, relate with them, look at what they are doing, read their stories, biography, their books, seek mentorship
Channels which you should follow:
– Favour: pursue favour through the law of giving.
Pastor ejimi mentioned that when his wife was going into baking, they searched for prominent successful bakers around and sowed into their lives.
– Selling: Find something to sell, either material things or value. You can exchange your value for money.
– Develop investment skill.
How do you activate favour:
1. Your offering: when you bless a blessed man, God is obliged to bless you. Look for a man blessed in the way you want to be and bless him.
2. Understanding and content: increase what is in your hand and what is in your head.
3. Honor
4. Law of reciprocity: Eph 6:8 Whatever you do for a man, God will do for you.
Few end notes
– What have you been doing for a long time?
– What are the things you can do very well?
– Expansion: What are the things you want to grow?
– Expression: What are the things you want to be known for?
– Empowerment: How anointed are you?
Selah.
