The mystery of time and money
By Apostle Joshua Selman

*T 00:03:00 T*

What really makes the ministration of the gift powerful, is the ability, the duality of the operation of the spirit when the word is dispensed; it was what differentiates the preaching of the gospel from just speaking or from a lecture.

The jurisdiction of that which you recieve from a lecture is information.

*T 00:03:30 T*

But then when the word of God comes, there's a dual operation of the spirit.

1. He penetrates the minds and hearts of men and begins to reorder their understanding.

2. While 1 is happening, there's impartation that is coming from the word; that means the grace dimension to validate that which has been known.

*T 00:04:00 T*

It is not enough to know, we must be empowered to prove the substance of what we know.

So while the word of God is coming 2 things will be happening basically.

1. Our understanding will be corrected, adjusted, reoriented, so we embrace it with meekness.

2. We must be sensitive to know that much more than the information we are receiving, that fir everything God said, behind his word is the grace to prove the tangibility of that dimension.

*T 00:04:30 T*

*T 00:05:00 T*

*T 00:05:30 T*

*T 00:06:00 T*

There are a number of things that when subjects and topics that are very sensitive and everytime you come up with things that have to do with those teachings, usually, you will confront age long ideologies; Ideologies that have been framed from well meaning sincere people, but the imbalance that have come from the teaching a especially a territory…

And one of those areas is the issue of finance.

*T 00:06:30 T*

The mere mention of the word finance creates a very negative psychological disposition in the minds of many people; especially among believers.

The moment you mention the word "rich, wealth, money, finance"

Suddenly, because there has been an indoctrination that has been for centuries maybe that has associated all these things with:

1. Canality

2. Lack of spiritual growth

3. There has been a dissociation; so it's as though you have to choose to be blessed or be spiritual.

*T 00:07:00 T*

So anytime you propose any subject that reflects the blessings of the Lord, people will usually be uncomfortable, because it's as though you're telling them to relinquish their passion for God and spiritual things to pursue wealth.

*T 00:07:30 T*

The things you're about to read will among other things attempt to deconstruct those believe systems, so that they bring us to a position whereby we will be able to step into the fullness of all that God has for us.

*T 00:08:00 T*

While it is true that there has been a lot of imbalances along the subject of finance.

Many people have been defrauded, especially by men of God.

Many people have been ill treated, wrongly indoctrinated, taken advantage of.

So the psychology around wealth, men of God and ministry.

The moment people begin to advocate the blessings of the Lord, many people begin to remember their bitter experiences.

*T 00:08:30 T*

And they bring it out and believe that everyone is doing the same thing.

*T 00:09:00 T*

*T 00:09:30 T*

Please be comfortable, because the things that you're about to learn and receive are not only true but will be dispensed with balance and intelligence.

This is not some exegesis of materialistic canal people, here to fuel your lust for money.

*T 00:10:00 T*

You will soon find out that wealth in the kingdom is truly not just about acquiring money, there's an agenda that is bigger than that.

**In one minute, just pray and say: "father I open up my spirit to learn"

I am here in response to cry of a generation.

*T 00:10:30 T*

*T 00:11:00 T*

*T 00:11:30 T*

The reason why the subject of wealth and abundance has received so much attack is because satan understands that when he finds a people who can find resources, and the same time whose hearts are stayed on God and the purposes of the kingdom; that is a weapon of mass destruction to the gate of hell.

*T 00:12:00 T*

The technology of wealth in the world system is that you choose wealth or the health of your soul.

*T 00:12:30 T*

Satan will never allow you to have both.

You are going to have to choose to be wealthy the world's way, and while your wealth index is rising your spiritual life, the health of your sanity, the health of your sanes continues to plunge down.

It is always to use your soul as a commodity of exchange.

So the bible says it this way: "what shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and looses his soul"

*T 00:13:00 T*

*T 00:13:30 T*

So the really thing Satan is looking for is not money, but your soul.

*T 00:14:00 T*

**The unit of destiny is time

Your destiny is measured as a function of time, and that you are only useful on earth when byiu have time.

Satan knows that the moment a man has time he hasn't lost anything.

You can loose a job, but if you're given time, the Job will come.

*T 00:15:00 T*

*T 00:15:30 T*

Meet a dying man right now, ask him what do you want, he would not say real estate, he will not say education, he will say time

*T 00:16:00 T*

So if I really want to hurt you, I must do something to your time.

For this, Satan came up with a plot so that men lost time.

*T 00:16:30 T*

*T 00:17:00 T*

It takes time to know God, learn the ways of the kingdom, grow in prayer, access the annointing, build relationships, raise your children, impact a generation.

And Satan knowing that, fights time.

*T 00:17:30 T*

Everytime Satan sees a man having time, he becomes uncomfortable.

He knows that the moment God sees time anything can be put on it.

An encounter can be put on it.

He knows that when you have time, your relationship with your wife will grow, you will raise your children after the fear of the Lord, you will wake up in the money and have bible study with your family, you will visit your parents, you will be a worker in church.

He knows!

He knows that when you have time, you will impact a generation.

*T 00:18:00 T*

*T 00:18:30 T*

*T 00:19:00 T*

*T 00:19:30 T*

The idea is that the best option is to kill you, so that way automatically time finished.

But because the law of time and chance still happens to all, so wether you know anything about long life or not, there's already a spiritual principle that can preserve you so he comes up with a way of doing something to your time that makes it as though you don't have time.

*T 00:20:00 T*

Here in lies the mystery behind the busyness of men.

They were programmed to be that busy because you never have time for God when you are busy.

You never have time for god when you are busy it takes time.

Satan knows that provided this man can have time he can get resources in that time and spend the time building his wife building the ministry.

If this man has time and stays with God the wonder this man will become will transform a generation.

So what satan will do is he will check in the archives of men.

What is the one thing that men can give their time for and he found out in his research that money is the one thing that men can give their times for.

He found out that men can be careless over their health and can even be careless over their children, but he found out that every time money shows up men are willing to give time to get it.

And he said that's it, I will make sure they continue to look for this money and never find it, because if I keep it away from them then they can use their time to look for it.

And every time they want to be discouraged, I will make them touch it a little so that they continue; it's like a bait.

So the moment you get a job, say your salary is a hundred thousand.

You are about to say thank you jesus, then satan does something to the economy, everything increases except your salary.

And now you have to give more time to get more money, and you say "my wife, sorry. You are only going to see me by 9 or 10 in the night, and when I come just serve my food and go to bed.

You do that for five years your relationship i destroyed, your children do not know you again, they sleep when you arrive and they are off to school when you are awake.

Do that in 10 years; their only mentor becomes their teachers and while he's(Satan) doing that, he will program a man who does not know God to be the primary voice in the life of your child. While all of this is happening in 10 years your world is destroyed.

As a man of god satan knows that you need resources to do a lot of things, so he will make sure the time you should spend building, you are using that time to scheme out ways of raising money.

How do I raise this offering? How do i do this, how do i do that?

Then on top of that, he will make sure something happens in your immediate family that will take away your prayer time.

**It's not a battle of money it is a battle of time.

What satan is looking for is not your bank account, give him your atm card, he will throw it back at your face.

He doesn't need it, what satan needs is time.

**Is a battle of time.

When a man sees his family only two times a year because he gave his time to something, that is not the will of God. But then because that is the way the economy was manipulated.

So satan uses money, money you see has carried people from one location to the other.

People have followed this into holes to mine gold, people have followed this into the air, people have followed this everywhere.

People have lied for this, changed their date of birth for this, rejected their parents for this, denied jesus for this, turned to become preachers of lies for this, married many women for this, and left the one they have for this.

This has made many people to marry people who are not the will of God.

This has made people to hang themselves on a tree and die.

Armed robbers right now, someone is planning to rob by 12.

The same energy it takes to be hard working is the same energy it takes to steal, this is what the guy is looking for.

He will jump someone's fence because of this.

No bank invites you to come to that building, just because this is kept there, you leave your house and walk and the distance is not a problem, the queue is a little issue.

An atm that does not have posters for invitation will force you to visit it every day because this is inside.

And you must honor that atm with the honor you cannot even give God.

You stand with absolute respect, when you slot your card, you honor it because it's bringing this.

There are some of you who would have been educated but this stopped you, not satan but this.

There are some of you today who would never be in certain predicaments, but this caused it.

There are some of you who are doing three, four jobs, don't feel bad, but this is what you are looking for.

There are some of you who are in your 20s and 30s but you look like 50; this made you so.

Harmless, has no voice, doesn't speak, doesn't have a chain yet it can tie you down.

A woman you love all your life, it can come between two of you, and as light as it is it has the power to separate you.

If all you think we're talking about is money, you are joking.

If all you think we're talking about is real estate and all of this, now these things are wonderful but you need to know, this is the understanding that must be corrected.

You must understand the government and the system you are under and the motivation behind how satan behaves.

I preached the gospel many years ago with signs and wonders, but this was going to take me to the cell, because I could not afford to pay the sound people. Where was the power that healed the sick? Couldn't it bring this?

How can I finish a crusade and minister to people and i'm calling upon the name of the lord and i'm about to be locked because of this.

If you don't pay attention to what you are learning, you will pay the price.

The days that we live in, are not days where you just ignore this, there are certain truths you don't know and will pay for it.

Many people have sold their soul to the devil because of this.

Ask many people, if they are open, they will tell you that they continue to rise based on their fraternity with a system that is antichrist and their covenants and ordinances with dark powers.

Anybody who has worked with multi-millionaires will tell you.

Don't allow the intelligence and the business prowess to fool you. Behind all of that paraphernalia is a deep-rooted covenant with that powers to ensure sustainability.

Babylon is a goddess that sits upon a horse and is also a harlot that is searching for men, and you can carry out harlotry with her and part of the many benefits she will give you is money.

So when you decide that you want to rise and not fraternize with babylon, then you are in trouble.

This will bless you; Revelations 19: 2 - 4

This is the secret behind the wealth of the hidden. Behind all those business ventures you see, there is a fraternity; their fornication with this goddess called Babylon, and in exchange for their harlotry with her they received many things

Revelation 19 : 9 - 13

what a business woman that will sell anything including the souls of men.

Where did she get the souls? The ones who came to exchange their souls for money.

What shall he profit a man if he gains? They lost their souls to her and gained the world, that's how she got those souls.

So the economy of darkness is lose your soul while you prosper, if you are willing to subscribe to that technology then here you go, you can rise without god and be blessed, you can be millionaire and a billionaire and you can continue.

Here's what the apostle says: "beloved i wish above all things that ye prosper and be in good health but even as your soul prospers."

Now this is the trouble, the trouble is not wealth, the trouble is that as money grows your soul is growing. But satan says no way this bargain cannot work!

Psalm 112

The real battle is the battle of time, is the battle of your soul.

It's not the battle for your business, when satan came to Jesus, remember at the temptation when he came to Jesus, the first temptation was torn this stone to bread.
