God’s Way To Riches, Honor, and Life
God’s Way To Riches, Honor, and Life
today with Joseph Prince Proverbs 22 by
humility and the fear of the Lord our
riches honor and life every young person
I assume when they start out in life the
one riches honor esteemed from their
colleagues from their their family
members from from their friends
right and life what is Life Health
as well as longevity they all stand up
wanting to have riches honor in life the
Bible says by humility and the fear of
the Lord our riches honor and life
Israel was experiencing Great Famine and
all across the areas around Israel was
experiencing Great Famine during this
of the Jewish people God's people was
to none of them was Elijah said except
the very path notice this in the region
what do you say in the region of sidon
he said it purposely I will tell you why
to a woman who was a widow we know this
full of uh quit laugh right enough she
said enough for her and her son to eat
she says enough for me and my son to eat
right yeah so wait we die so the man of
God came to our house and actually she
knew that he's coming because a few days
before when Elijah was at the brook
and God fed him there God said go to
sidon zeripath where I have commanded
bus stands I have commanded a woman
there to feed you so the woman heard
from God already and yet when the man of
God came she says uh he says is there
anything in your house uh no no just a
bit of flower only for me and my son to
and then the man of God says something
that you know if today any man of God
says he's going to be in the social
you know what a man of God says
you'll make a cake for me first
read your Bible make a cake for me first
imagine the woman is starving is Great
Famine and he asked for a cake by the
way is a bread in those days give me the
you know what happened to her
and the Bible says the entire three
years and half right three and a half
the jar of meal or at the flour never
during the time of Great Famine amen so
Jesus Illustrated this but why did Jesus
say in the he sent to none of them in
Israel God's people who knew the law who
knew the Ten Commandments who were who
were people of God compared to this
woman she is not a Jew she's from the
region of sidon now do you remember when
Elijah's Ministry came into play
Elijah the prophet during the time when
the king of Israel married a woman who's
not a Jew but from the area of sidon
was an evil woman and she introduced a
bill worship into Israel and of course
she literally costs because of people's
focus on uh away from God she caused the
three and a half years of famine
what the people the audience in Jesus
Day thought when they hear Jesus say God
did not send Elijah to his to the people
of God to the people of Israel to people
who knew the law he sent them he sent
Elijah to a woman who came from the city
and they knew is where Jezebel came from
because Jezebel is from sidon because
she's the daughter of the king of sidon
and if that is not enough you know
what's that called you don't understand
God gives Grace to people who are
who don't deserve it at all if anyone is
undeserving is this woman
she's not even part of the chosen race
amen The Chosen Nation right back then
when my heart was broken and I was just
hurting a lot the Lord used Pastor
Prince and his messages to Spring
healing and comfort I was actually just
uh flipping through the TV one day and
he was sharing the message of Grace just
the message of a righteousness is from
him and how he gives us our identity and
everything we have have us from him it
just lit my heart on fire in the gospel
of grace has impacted your life I would
like to invite you to join us as a Grace
Legacy Builder let's Advance the gospel
of grace together visit the link on your
screen to be part of leading a legacy of
okay the next example Jesus gave and
many lepers say many lepers
many lepers were in Israel in the time
of Elisha not Elisha who succeeded uh
there were many lepers in the time in
Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet
and none of them was cleansed except
Naaman then he says this Jesus said the
you know why I say the Syrian
because the Syrian is always their
number one enemy is who is real
they are always attacking Israel and who
is Naaman Naaman is the Commander in in
in Haman all right commander-in-chief of
and this man is a leper if you are in
Israel and you hear that your enemy the
the top Commander is has leprosy what
will you do will you pray for him no
but instead God sent Elisha the prophet
what happened was that neyman has a
hostage Israeli girl a young girl whom
he brought to his house as a mate to his
wife and one day he noticed all these
spots appearing and he thought it was
just normal skin condition where
actually it was leprosy and then it
started spreading and all that and uh
the mate noticed that as well and the
mate told naaman's wife if only the
master my master can go to Israel
there's a prophet there who can recover
so the Bible says the wife persuaded the
husband and the husband brought an
Entourage to find Elijah amen so when it
came to Elisha's house a humble abode
and he calls for the man of God he
didn't even appear Elijah shouted
instruction from inside the house he
didn't even go out to appear he says go
out go out to the River Jordan baptize
yourself immerse yourself seven times
oh his pride was like I come to your
house around to rush I am the commander
of the Syrian Army and you don't even
and you want me what to immerse myself
in River Jordan by the way just like you
all know right except for one time uh
during Joshua's time when the Bible says
it was a time of harvest that the River
Jordan overflowed okay but most of the
time have you seen the River Jordan
lately I mean I have been to Israel and
you see the you saw the River Jordan
all right your your guide will say get
ready guys we're about to cross the
River Jordan right then you get ready
with camera you're about to press okay
that's it you cross ready
the River Jordan is not even as white
the average part of the River Jordan is
not even as wide as this oh maybe almost
like what we have on the stage here all
right as broad as this or slightly
smaller that's it then you ask yourself
the question you mean this is the famous
right where miracles happen where the
Iron's head fell and it was recovered
God made it to swim is this the famous
and then Naaman Hood go deep yourself in
the River Jordan what Muddy River Jordan
why not allow me to baptize back home in
Syria in Damascus we have two big Rivers
why not let me baptize there
but God's instruction always requires
I said the Bible says by humility
Proverbs 22 by humility and the fear of
the Lord are riches honor and life every
young person I assume when they start
out in life they want reaches
honor esteem from their colleagues from
their their family members from from
right and life what is Life Health
as well as longevity they all Stand Out
wanting to have riches honor in life the
Bible says by humility and the fear of
the Lord our riches honor and life
okay so we have the instruction go deep
yourself seven times imagine that you
the whole thing you know then the wife
says put it back on put it in yourself
you know so the whole thing just here's
the commander so you went to the water
remember I want you all to count with me
okay stay up the leprosy how many times
it comes out again shot one
what am I doing I look so stupid my
soldiers are looking look at the guy
down there laughing one corner
do I really have to do it sometimes
I humble myself these are so humiliating
hey six times three myself over seven
the Bible says when he came out his skin
and I'm telling you it's true okay when
I take communion almost every day right
the manifestation is still happening
okay but I'll tell you I claim it why
not if God can do it for for Naaman amen
amen all the promises of God is yes and
the Bible says he's I mean imagine how
old is he to be a commander usually is
probably in his 50s he command other
people to do the late work amen he's
probably in his 50s and all that and yet
his skin became like a little child so I
can believe God for that amen amen so
you see the two examples Jesus used look
at the reaction the people say oh praise
God for his grace Grace is amazing huh
which means give praise to the Lord for
he is good he has said his grace his
amen did they Rejoice like that let's
see the erection after Jesus use these
two illustrations about the woman of
zaripath during the time of famine that
God sent Elijah to provide for her and
then Naaman the arch enemy of Israel the
Syrian amen the commander from Elisha
ministered healing to let's see the
reaction the people in Jesus
so all those in the synagogue when they
heard these things will filled with
do your favorite rough ref
rough they were angry how they were
angry at these two illustrations and
when Jesus says that fear the lord is on
to preach the gospel to the poor to heal
the broken heart to set the chapters
free they were not angry but when Jesus
stopped using these two illustrations
they were angry why I submit to you two
reasons number one Grace Grace
still make religious people angry
it's Grace right these two are perfect
examples of Grace they are not God's
people they are not Jewish people they
are not part of the chosen Nation amen
they are not part of people who know
even God's Commandments amen but what
happened they receive healing
they receive provision so first and
foremost the message of Grace always
caused anger to rise up in religious
number two these two examples
provision am I right you can say wealth
during the time of Great Famine the
these two examples show what health and
If You Preach health and wealth
because a lot of religious people to be
amen you find them getting angry just no
so watch out that you don't fall under
this I again I repeat we are not for
greed we are not for self-benefit only
amen this where all the blessings come
and that's where all the blessings stay
that's not God's heart amen God's
blessing is that I'll bless you and you
amen are you with me so far do you
follow I'm saying can you see these two
teachings Grace as well as emphasis on
health and and wealth you see the way
people make it sound okay you're not
happy with wealth because health and
wealth Rhymes right so okay health and
and I'm gonna I mean how many wanna have
a fresh Revelation on the Hebrew word
all right I'm going to give you
something fresh again never heard anyone
preach this before but I felt that the
Lord challenged me to look this up and
begin to show me something that I never
never preached before okay you like the
is coming your way okay now in Psalms 23
verse 1 all of you know by heart said
the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
or lack all right the word one means
like I will not like for anything when
the Lord is your Shepherd you will not
okay now the word lack in Hebrew is the
is spell spelled like this
uh like all Chinese reading from right
to left all right and by the way every
Hebrew letter has a picture the picture
is always consistent it's always the
same all right it's a meaning to every
letter so the letter had hat can mean
when you go to Israel today you go to
the Slovenia shops they have uh um you
know necklace right and they have this
pendant and you'll see the letter
all right it is the letter that means
what does it mean life and life is
pronounced like head high high Jewish
people when they toast they drink they
toast you know what they say lecheim
through life in its extreme form amen
through life so they have necklaces they
sell you can see all over the place all
right with the letter hat and a youth
for hi so this means life Summit the
next letter means support say support
or Supply Supply support of Supply just
let you know the the main the essence of
both Grace and law is this grace is all
about Supply law is all about demand
amen you know law says you shall not you
shall not you shall not demand demand
demand amen Grace says God says I will
do this for you I will give you this I
will do that for you I will be your God
I will remember your sins no more it's
um whatever you do in a given day you
can be under grace or under law amen if
you are long-minded you are
demand-minded or my boss requires this
from me before the uh a week ends all
right I I I I I there's so many claims
on me and my time and my energy or my
family needs my wife needs this my my
family needs this I need to do this
demand demand demand you'll be stressed
which will always does but if you see
with the challenge with the
responsibility comes Grace the supply
amen amen right right now if I'm
preaching right I can be under demand
like oh man I gotta pressure because
these people right will make you uh uh
suffer You Don't Preach well amen these
people are so hungry amen they know they
even though some of them just know how
they're so corny okay and
if if I'm preaching under a sense of
demand Demand on me I'll be stressed but
if I preach and I believe God is
supplying me the words God is supplying
me the anointing God Supply me even
illustrations and all that you'll be a
and that's what I always do I always
Endeavor to do okay you don't want to
hear me you want to hear God
amen you want to hear preacher speak as
amen praise the Lord so are you with me
so far so this is and the third letter
so the life here is supported by rash
the last letter you know it's rash
the beginning of the word for rosh means
rash the picture of rash is always hate
today in Israel you ask them about what
is a rash or Rush they'll say the hit
why is it leg why does it spell lack
he depends on his wisdom he depends on
his understanding his own intellect his
own logic his own reasoning to supply
for himself I submit to you the vast
uh depending on their logic their
they look for the latest you know fat
the latest way of making money and all
that and they try instead of trusting
God in God's ways they're still trusting
all this only to fall flat on their face
because their life supplies come from
not much Supply man I'll tell you that
amen then what God showed me next was
same almost the same letters see head
Supply but the last letter changes this
means door this person his life is
look at John 10. all right I am the door
if anyone enters by me he'll be safe and
he will go in and out and find pasture
the context of talking about sheep he's
a good shepherd and all that that means
what they'll find food pasture is food
you either can have your life Supply by
your head or you can have your life
by which all the provisions come in and
you'll find pasture and by the way if
you put the the word like this head
Summit it spells has said
so the word for Grace does not said
give praise to the Lord because he is
his grace endures forever
when David says your loving kindness is
better than life loving kindness is one
word he's telling God God your grace is
amen time and time again there's even a
Psalm every verse says his grace and
yours forever his her said and yours
forever his has said and yours forever
Hallelujah can you preach too much on
Grace no the Bible says in Romans 5 17
it is through the abundance of Grace you
to have abundance of Grace you must have
an abundance of preaching because faith
comes by hearing the word
so I tell you this if you hear a pastor
or a preacher preaching a lot on Grace
be under the spout where the glory comes
I mean are you with me so far
people trust the worldly system you see
they trust and a lot a lot of people
nowadays young married couples with
perhaps uh one or two young young
children they are looking at what's
happening in the world and their
concerned they're very concerned but if
you're a child of God you need not be
your life is not supported by your head
amen by whom you go through in and out
okay you know the Hebrew people they
people who are generous people who are
generous they say you have a good eye
singular all right if you are
a bad generous yeah a stingy person if
you're a stingy person they say you have
now in Israel you'll find in the shops
and all that they have like a hand with
an eye all right so they say that
there's an evil eye you don't have an
evil eye and the hand is the hand of God
they say to stop the evil eye from
happening so what is the evil eye what
is an evil eye now I'm going to show you
what an evil eye is by showing you this
passage of scripture and then we will
explain to you now all of us have
sayings in every language of the world
you know every culture they have their
am I right or not right we we for
example you know by the way there was an
interviewer who interviewed a guy was
looking for a job so this this interview
look at his resume and he says that
there's a few years blank
and the guy says oh I was in Yale they
amazing is this you know what you're
hired thank you so much I really need
so you cannot say Jay right you know so
okay so among you are slow
here yourself is saying to y'all you are
different culture have a different
saying you know what I'm saying so in
hebrewism evil Ayah people who are
all right look at this portion here it
says no man when he has lighted a candle
puts it in a secret place neither under
a bushel but on a Candlestick or lamp
stand the day which come in may see the
light the light of the body is the eye
therefore when thine eye is single this
Old King James in the new King James
says your eye is good your whole body
but when your eye is evil stingy your
hope your body also is full of Darkness
now the word body here is literally Soma
in Greek which means the physical body
let me tell you this it seems like the
Bible is saying those who are generous
those who are magnanimous those who who
who who have Prosperity with a purpose
in mind these people have
their bodies you are generous means your
your whole body is full of light
