There is something that I believe God wants me to share with you very briefly. Yesterday God visited us in a special way and He told us some wonderful things. He told us that something really good is in the air. He said to me that some of you went back home and began to reason and rationalize what He said: “How is that going to happen? How is this something good going to happen to me? When I was in the church, under the hillary and excitement of the moment, I shouted and I believed it. When I got back home and cold reality.” (You know that’s not really reality. The Word of God is reality. You know that kind of false reality began to set in and you wished you could just build a tabernacle in church and have Pastor keep prophesying, and as pastor is prophesying you would be believing.) God said to tell you not to limit Him! He says, “Don’t limit Me! You have no idea how big I am. Don’t limit Me, when I say a thing I mean it and when I mean it, I do it. Don’t limit Me.” That’s what your Father wants you to know. “Don’t put a limit on this good that is in the air, don’t go home and rationalize and then when you would have come with a bucket, you reduce it to a cup just so you can get something. No! Don’t limit Me, this is your time. This is your time for overflow! This is the season you have been waiting for. This is the time I have prepared you for but don’t limit Me. Don’t let your brain come in the way.” “You can believe me for anything, don’t limit Me! Don’t limit what I can do in your life. Don’t limit Me! I am a big God. I am the One Whose centre is everywhere, and Whose circumference is nowhere. That’s Me! My centre is everywhere, but My circumference, which is My limit, is nowhere. There is no circumference to Me. Just when you think you have experienced some of My grace, there is more. There is more! Don’t limit Me! Don’t decide what you deserve from Me, it is My grace that made it available. Don’t limit Me!” “Take the limit off what I can do in your life. Be prepared for great things! Be prepared for greatness! Be like Joseph! When the word of the king came to him, he shaved himself, changed his clothes and went and stood before him. Get up every morning and get dressed, ready to be the manager that your company is looking for. Don’t limit Me! Don’t go with sneakers and dirty jeans and expect to step into the greatness I’m talking to you about. Let your expectations be seen in your attitude, in your speech, in everything that concerns you. Don’t limit Me!” “Throw away the teaspoons, throw away the cups and bring out the buckets, bring out the drums, bring out the water pots that will be filled to overflowing. Don’t limit Me! You have no idea of the magnitude of the goodness I have reserved for you. You have no idea of the greatness that I want to pour into you but you mustn’t limit Me.” “You limit Me when you compare yourself with others. Don’t look at other people and say, ‘If God did it for them this way, then who am I to expect God to do more for me? Mine will be less!’ No! You limit Me when you compare yourself. My walk with you is individual. My walk with you is a walk of grace. It’s not a walk that you deserve. Therefore somebody who looks like they deserve more, somebody who seems to have served Me better might receive more because they have refused to limit Me. Don’t limit Me!” “Don’t limit Me by where you are coming from. Don’t look at your past and decide that this is the measurement of what I can do for you. When I say that something good, something really good is in the air, I mean it! I am ready to do exceedingly, abundantly and above that which you can think, ask or imagine, but don’t limit Me. Great things are happening in your life! You can’t answer because you can’t see it yet. The good things are in the air! You may not be able to touch it, smell it, taste it, hear it but listen to me, they are certainly there.” “So I declare to you that great things are happening in your life. An awesome outpouring of the rain of My blessing is drenching you. Don’t limit Me! Take away the umbrella, take away the raincoats, be drenched by My goodness, be drenched by My grace. Don’t limit Me! Be drenched to overflow by what I have in store for you, but don’t limit Me. These are great times you are living in. People would look at you and say, “But I used to know you, but you don’t look like who I used to know.” You’ll say “Yeah. I have a God whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere. So I’m not the same, I can’t be the same! As I walk from His centre, there are no limits. As I keep moving in Him, there is more grace and there is more grace and there is even more grace to experience.” “Don’t decide how much of My grace is coming your way, don’t limit Me! Dare to think big! Dare to take the risk! Dare to step out into the unknown! Dare to stretch your faith for the impossible! Don’t limit Me!” “Which earthly Father would hold back from His children? How many of you as earthly fathers will not keep pouring into your children? I am God! I am your heavenly Father! I would hold back nothing good from you. Don’t

What Uzo and Edesiri just shared, are still in the same vein as the prophecies that we have been receiving all week. God is speaking to us loud and clear; He’s speaking to us clearly, and I want to share with us from 2 Chronicles 20. I don’t know what this week has been for you, but I would personally call it a week of prophecy. We have prophecies regularly in church; because it is one of the ways God visits us regularly. But the density and the intensity or the depth of prophecies received this week has just been phenomenal. I don’t think I’m the only one that has observed this; and what God has done like He told Edesiri is that He has repositioned us. God is positioning us for greater prosperity and that season is right now. That is exactly the Word that I read in 2 Chronicles 20. On Tuesday when we were praising and Pastor Nkechi came out and began to prophesy, she spoke about Joshua chapter 6, where the people encircled the city and the miracle took place. Interestingly, the miracles that took place there were the miracles of finances and abundance. Because, as they went into Jericho, that was the first city they conquered in the promise land and God said that everything in that land would be consecrated unto Him. That is the force of wealth, that is the strength of the abundance that God is talking to us about and while we were ministering to God that same day, 2 Chronicles 20:20 came to mind and I will share it with you. 20 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.”2 Chronicles 20:20 Now why was God telling them that they needed to believe His Prophets so that they would prosper? Because the miracles that took place there was a miracle of prosperity, a miracle of abundance. On further reading, you’ll find out they got to a valley where they gathered gold for three full days. They gathered silver, gold vessels and raiment. But tell me, how do people go to the war front with gold, silver, armory, with treasuries and all of that? Let me tell you what the word is it is REPOSITIONING. Its repositioning or shifting, in fact that word proper is one of my favorite words in the Old Testament, it actually means to push forward! What is God saying here? He is positioning and repositioning us for this great wealth transfer that we are hearing about. This week has been a week of great impartation and deposit. Our dancing, jumping and praising God is not because we don’t have anything to do, it is not exercise, acrobatics or engaging in calisthenics; we have been engaged in spiritual praise. The high praises of God has been in our mouths, two-edged swords in our hands and God by His song in our mouth, has started fighting battles for us. And let me declare to you that victory is here now, in the Name of Jesus Christ. As you step forth into the days ahead of you, things will begin to fall into their place; and there would be much load of prosperity, of wealth, of goods, of grace, of abundance; too much for you to carry, that for some of you, especially those of you in business; you are going to need partners to help you. There is going to be a shifting, there’s already a shifting right now and in the days that will follow. You will step into it, because it will happen so easily. Some people will say God is biased towards you; yes you are His favourite. He loves you; but more than that, you have keyed into His spirit, and you have keyed into the flow. The Bible says here that, “the battle is not yours, but the Lord’s.” But how did God fight for them? God fought for them because God didn’t doubt their co-operation and participation. As they were praising the beauty of His Holiness…do you know what that word PRAISE is? It means Halal! As you have been “Halaling” God, victories were made sure for you! “Great abundance is what I have for you; great riches are in store for you this season. The time is not tomorrow, it is now,” says God. “Step into it, war a good warfare with the Word that has been spoken ahead of you and move with My Spirit. Do My bidding,” says God. “Have a paradigm shift! See yourself as I see you. Yes call yourself the name I have called you. For the name I have called you is the name from Myself. For I have named you after Myself,” says the Lord. “For I am wonderful and I have made you wonderful; for you are for signs and you are for wonders,” says the Lord God Almighty. “You are for signs and you are for wonders. You are an awe for people to behold!” “There is so much abundance, the days of lack and being little are behind you as you move forward into a brand new season and a brand new day. The time is now! The days shall no longer be delayed,” says God, “that which I have purposed for you will come to pass; so rejoice! Rejoice and be glad, break forth into singing,” oh glory! “For the Lord has risen upon you and His glory shall be seen upon you. And nations, tribes, tongues, languages, creeds, different people will come to your rising. For I the Lord delight in you and My pleasure is in you.” He has been with us in such a great way this week, so thank Him for every

COMPONENTS OF FINANCIAL STRENGTH Today the Lord wants me to share a few things with you that concern your strength from Haggai chapter 2. 1 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying: 2 “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying: 3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this temple[a] in its former glory? And how do you see it now? In comparison with it, is this not in your eyes as nothing? 4 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the Lord; ‘and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the Lord, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ says the Lord of hosts. 5 ‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations,[b] and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. 8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. 9 ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.” God has been calling us strong people for the past two days. It is obviously a Word He sent to us this season. Something He made me note was an area of strength that He has concentrated on where The Carpenter’s Church is concerned, and that is the area of financial strength. I speak to you not just as an individual or as individual families, but as a congregation of people. When God calls you strong, God is saying to you that He is raising you up to be financially strong people. Strong people in general are people of influence; and financially strong people influence things. I want you to see yourself as a very financially strong person. In the scripture we just read, the first three verses painted the picture of discouragement. People looked around and they said, “Can things ever be as good as the first temple? Can it be as wonderful as the temple we knew it to be?” There was discouragement! Listen: In the midst of that financial or in any kind of discouragement, the Word of the Lord came and that is the same way It has come to us this season. “Be strong,” It says! In that same verse, God said, “Be strong” three times. “Be strong Zerubbabel the governor, be strong the high priest, be strong anybody who is left.” Some versions would say the residue of all the people. So whether you are a leader in the secular world, a leader in the ministry or a member, God’s Word to you today is be strong, alert and courageous. “Financially strong is who I have made you. Financially strong! In spite of the fact that you are not working today, yet be strong. Despite the fact that your bank account doesn’t seem to line up with financial strength, that is the name I have called you. Answer that name and that is what will manifest in your life. Yet be strong.” So in spite of your discouragement, be strong. In spite of what you see around you, be strong. Then it goes on to say, “and work.” So it means that lazy people cannot be financially strong. Hello, if you are a lazy person and you are comfortably sitting around, this prophecy will jump or pass over you. But that is not your portion. It says be strong and work. so work is a valid root to wealth and financial strength, work is a valid path to financial strength. Some people just want things to fall on their laps. No! If God calls you strong, He doesn’t expect you to be a benevolence case forever or to be a charity case for the rest of your life. Be strong and work, and when you work, you will make contact with this great financial strength that God has deposited in this ministry. There is so much wealth coming out of this ministry that you need to tap into it. Some ministries are known for different things. I can tell you one thing, the grace for wealth and abundance is here in The Carpenter’s Church. It is so evident here that if you came in poor and you stay poor, it is your fault! It is okay to come in poor. Some people don’t attend this church because when asked, they’d say, “it’s a rich man’s church.” I always say amen to that. But one should be smart enough to know that when they are not rich and they find a “rich man’s church” where they weren’t thrown out the gate; that should be where they should remain. Because even if it is by osmosis, I think that wealth will be transferred to them There is grace for wealth here, I make bold to say it because not only is there grace for wealth here, we know what to do with the money. God has called each one of you a thousand people. Financially strong, that’s who you are. It’s not determined by the kind of job you are doing. Just work! He said work according to the Word that I covenanted with you. If God has called you financially strong, what He wants me to show you in these few lines is how to make connection with it. There is no point jumping and sweating
