HOW TO PROVOKE BUSINESS EXPLOITS by Pastor Adebo Tomomewo (3rd Day)

Business is any thing one is busy doing. In a different way, it is the aim of making profit. No one serves God and goes backward Isaiah 48:17. Every business needs to be approached with the right attitude and aptitude.

INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY by Pastor Adebo Tomomewo (4th Day)

Four things to consider regarding increasing productivity:

• Anything one is doing with the aim of making profit is business Genesis 1:28
• Sit down and Plan Luke 14:28
• Keep an open Heaven over your business Deuteronomy 8:18
• The blessings of favour Psalms 44:3

Life is lived in portions. Even the mercy of God is in portion. You have the mercy of God, you have great mercy, you have multitude of mercy. So God allows us to live life according to different levels and dimensions. There is a realm where you climb staircase step by step, there is a realm where you enter lift. The man going through staircase is following step by step. The man going through the lift is following dimensions. And that is why I want you to know that life is lived according to dimensions and I believe the quality of life we are living now, God can double it. God can double the quality of your life that will make your present level look like poverty. It was a realm Abraham lived in that the bible says in Genesis 24:1.

Can you imagine yourself blessed in all things? Think about the DVD of you blessed in all things: blessed financially, blessed family, your career is blessed, your children are blessed. In fact, everything about you is blessed.

On the double portion of the firstborn, it is your understanding that determines your undertaking. Proverbs 13:15, Lack of understanding can make you live any hard life. You cannot understand a thing and be under it. You cannot understand prosperity and be under poverty. You cannot understand the secret of divine health and be under sickness. One thing about understanding is that it does not allow you to be under anything you understand. And that is why I believe that understanding is going to elevate the quality of our lives in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. I’ll just start by letting us know ten facts about the first born blessings.

TEN FACTS ABOUT THE FIRSTBORN BLESSINGS

1. Every first born has a birthright of double portion, Deuteronomy 21:17. Double portion is a right to the first born but the problem is that many of them are not aware of it. They do not know that certain rights have been appointed to them. If a man has three wives and all the three wives have different children and he did not stay with them, all those children have firstborn right, whether it is a girl or it is a boy. People like Esau, Ishmael and Reuben which are from the family of Abraham were born with that right, but it is unfortunate that none of them enjoyed it, they lost it. That is why we have the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not the God of Abraham, Ishmael and Esau.
2. You can sell your birthright for your double portion if you do not know the value of it. Genesis 25:33. Esau said behold, I am at the point of death. What profit is this birth right to me? Jacob knew the value and said to him, swear to me this day that you will sell your birthright to me if I give you this stew and he swore unto him and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. He wept later for lack of discipline for what to eat. If you are not careful, the love for money or what to eat can make you loose your birthright. All that one knows now is all that one has learnt. All that you are is what you know.
3. One can despise their birthright of double portion. Genesis25:34. Do not let your present need be a reason to sell your birthright because your birthright will be needed on a later. One’s ability to handle his birthright well, determines how well the younger generations can handle it. For example, Ishmael lost his and this led to other firstborn loosing it and it was never corrected. Value your birthright, it is your life.
4. The birthright of double portion can be contested for Genesis 25:30-31. Any friend who complains about spiritual things is a not a good friend. Some people are nations but due to lack of knowledge, people loose their double portion. Be one who has integrity. Say things accurately and never lie. Billy graham said that the success of his ministry is integrity. Character is beauty. Gift may take one up but one’s character will keep him up. People are not judged by the quality of their colour but the quality of their skill. Skills without character will still not make one successful. It is dodging corners that make snakes and water crooked.
5. Double portion can be provoked Genesis 48:42. Some people are born with and some are not but it can be provoked. In some families, it is dormant. Usually double portion makes one responsible and God releases His blessings over you. Genesis 50:17. Face the dream of God for your life. You do not have to be the first born to operate in double portion. A person with double portion is never selfish.
6. You can ask God for double portion 2 Kings 2:9. Elisha asked for double portion. You do not have to be the first born to ask for double portion but you will have to be ready for it. You will responsible for everything.
7. There a blessing that follows those who have it Genesis 27:36-37. If you have double portion, God will always sustain it.
8. You can give your way into a heritage of double portion by giving Genesis 25:30-32. Give to your parents, sow seeds, give charities, give tithes, and many more. Jacob gave his food to his Brother, Esau.
9. There are powers that want to contend with us Exodus 4:22; 13:11; 12:29. There is always a pharaoh after the lives of firstborns which want to put the firstborns in bondage but it will not come to pass in Jesus’ name, Amen.
10. Our pattern is to follow Christ. He is the firstborn that was and can never be destroyed.
