Tonight, the LORD will have me talk about GIVING TO YOUR TEACHER. I don’t know if you like to hear it or not. As a person, it’s not a topic that I do teach. But God asked me to teach it. That was last week. Sadozites are wonderful people. I must tell you, I don’t have any reason to complain. So, there’s nothing like wanting to talk about it out of anger. Lol.
And do you know what? Last week, when God told me to talk about it, I objected but He convinced me. Between that day and today (one week), I have received monetary gifts from Sadozites to a volume that I have not seen this year. What’s my point? Phi 4:17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. I know teaching you this and understanding it will be a BLESSING to you.
Look at this: 2Co 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. There’s something called FULL OBEDIENCE. Have you tried to enter a password before and you miss just one letter? Did it work? Kingdom Prosperity, especially in terms like this, only works on FULL OBEDIENCE.
One of the vital digits in the password to financial breakthrough is GIVING TO YOUR TEACHER. Some doors won’t open. Some prayers won’t answer. Some situations won’t bow. Some blessings won’t even be SPOKEN until you exchange hands with your teacher. 1Co 9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? Can you see the law of sowing and reaping here? Angels are doing the exchange under certain rules. You sow the carnal to get the spiritual. Do you know I never moved into a level of financial breakthrough until I made it a habit to give 10% of all my income to my spiritual father? That’s aside the 10% to Sadoz.
Let me make it clear. I didn’t say UNTIL you do what I did. I am talking about what happened to me. On my ordination, I arranged to wear a native wear but we prepared for our seed to my spiritual father. It is a seed. Your teacher is your prophet. He teaches you, you grow, and it turns out for your good…what did you give to him? He blesses you and you say AMEN. What did you give? Why would Jacob request venison before he could bless his children? Gen. 27:3-4 And make me savory meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that my soul may bless thee before I die.
Why couldn’t he bless Esau later on after eating? There’s something called PROVOKED blessings. It is only gifts that can draw it out. The man of God doesn’t have to say much word. Prov.18: 16 A man’s gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men. If you think this verse is talking about talent, you have been taught wrongly.
Let me show you the Hebrew word and meaning used. To move to a level of greatness, giving to your teacher is not a suggestion, it is a must. Like I told you, I have no issues. I am always blessed and filled. God had told me: if you obey me and practice what you teach, I will bless you whether your members give to you or not. But I won’t lie to you, Sadozites are giving to me. For instance, someone sends me an allowance for data every month. So, you can say that I AM ENJOYING.
There used to be a group of people that bought foodstuffs for me every month until I told them to stop. They didn’t want to stop, they started furnishing my office. I was able to disband the group. Do you know why I disbanded it? Some were joining them, they didn’t partake in giving but wanted to know everything they do. I don’t want a kind of gossip. I am talking of the year 2017. I am really loved and I know it. I don’t need to teach so that you can give. Just today, I told some people that they shouldn’t have bought the clothes they bought for me and my wife, though we appreciated it.
One time, my whole wardrobe was changed by some people. I got a new set of clothes entirely. That was in 2020 or so? Someone would say – “pastors are enjoying us”. Well, I don’t know of other pastors but me, I am. You can also go and become a pastor. What’s my point tonight – whatever I teach you on this subject, it is not for me, but for you. I want you to have full obedience and a full testimony. GIVING WITH UNDERSTANDING You can’t get the reward of giving to your teacher without having the right understanding. You can’t stay blessed under a man and never gave to him! Not even in the last eight months of this year.
2. What you give cannot be too much Compare what you give to what you have received from the same person spiritually? 3. It can’t be too small I know some are shy to give because they feel it’s too small. I felt that way too. 1. It is a seed. All seeds are always small. 2. You will grow as you give 4. It is an investment Some ask, should I meet my need or give to my teacher? Think of it this way: you are not losing when you give, you are investing. Gen 8:22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest. Should I give to the poor or my teacher? Give to the poor what belongs to the poor and to your teacher what belongs to him; else, you rob yourself. Should I give to my parents or my teacher?
Give to your parent what belongs to them and your teacher what belongs to them. At times, you invest so that you can have more to share with your people. 5. See your seed as an honor and not helping him Abraham rejected the gifts of the kings so that they won’t brag over him in the future. Gen 14:23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich. Those who do know their God shall be strong and do exploits. If you give to me and get puffed up, I will humble you. Some of you have given me stuff and I called to question the source! Because what they give is more than what I expect as their capacity. I don’t accept until they explain.
Someone sent money to my account yesterday, he said for SADOZ project, I said I am not SADOZ. I blessed him and channeled his money to SADOZ. I also gave him SADOZ account number. Someone used to give me a certain amount but one day, she doubled it. I called to ask her what
what happened. She said she wanted to send some to SADOZ. I told her it is different. A teacher and a pastor heading somewhere don’t joke with their honor in God. If I bless you spiritually without being puffed up, should you get puffed up when you give to me? Sadozites are not guilty of this anyway. I trust my children in the Lord. And I fully appreciate them! I am only teaching you what is right.
See it as an honor, give it honorably. Thank God for the privilege to be a blessing to His servant. Because God will always find a way to feed His Elijah even if you are not available. God used animals to feed Elijah when need comes for it. When I stopped that foodstuff, I tell you, it was when I just got married and we were living on whatever we got. But no, I rather go hungry than have mixed multitudes. 7. Don’t say they have enough, they don’t need my gift Listen, the soil never needs the seed, it is the seed that needs the soil. People give to me and get blessed so my wife also started giving to me. I am her teacher and prophet, isn’t it? Do you think my spiritual father needs my money?
I was sending 500 naira to him back then. That was in 2019. Today, huhmmmm, I have increased. Yet if I don’t give him, he can’t feel it. Never said your teacher has enough. Do you have enough? Do you need more blessings? Mat 10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. Mar 9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
AVENUES FOR GIVING Sort every opportunity to give as there is no time you can’t give. But there’s something we seldom do in SADOZ at birthdays. Mummy had a birthday the last time isn’t it and some people got her a gift. I decided to ask the treasurer how much was raised and how many people gave. My people, the answer is not good enough. She said 31k. About 16 people contributed it. We have not less than 100 sisters here and up to 50 people signified willingly that they wanted to be part of it. Now, she isn’t complaining, and I have no reason to complain on her behalf. At least one person gave her almost x2 of that. So, why would there be any grumble.
I told you, God will get through to his people anyhow. But it’s all for our good! I know another person, one person that gave her about half of that on her own. So, you see there’s no justification to complain here. I am only teaching you. Here, NO ONE WILL COMPEL YOU TO GIVE TO HIM, YOU WILL ONLY BE TAUGHT. Blessedness of Giving to your teacher Many have been pointed out already. Just take this as a bonus. LAST KEY TO TOUR OPEN HEAVEN. Hosea 12: 13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. 2 Chron. 20:20 Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. The same man that teaches you and you believe, if he prays for you God will answer.
