• The ultimate desire of God is that every child of God must become a practicing priest.
Deut 20:1-5, 1 Sam 12:23
• Priests know how to deal with matters beyond the earthly realm.
• The gates of the spirit realm are manned by priests.
• If a pastor, prophet, teacher, apostle rises but the priestly role is vacant, they will have no impact over a people.
• If your pastor is not a priest, you are not covered.
• Your covering comes from the priesthood and not from a title.
• Don’t build a house and start living there without dedicating.
• Dedication is you telling God that He owns that thing and asking Him to take His abode there.
• What is associated with God is what will be happening to something that is dedicated to God.
• A church also has to be dedicated to God (2 Chr 2:4).
• Many people have lost lives for lack of understanding over matters of dedication.
• Baby Jesus who was born of God was taken to the temple to be dedicated.
• Dedication of something is its real spiritual foundation.If it is dedicated to God, it means the foundation is God.
• Dedication is one of the duties of a priest.
• A priest must be a practicing priest.
Psa 11:3
• It is wisdom for babies to be dedicated to God.
STEPPING INTO SUPERNATURAL OVERFLOW (PART 2)
• There are two forces behind Supernatural Overflow:
1. Supernatural increase
2. Divine speed
• In the scriptures, increase can happen by:
1. Addition
2. Multiplication
3. Exponential increase
• This is an increase that is beyond just ordinary multiplication.
Keys to supernatural increase
• A key locks or unlocks a door.
• When you have a key, you have access.
• If you can apply the keys, you can have supernatural increase.
• If you don’t apply the keys, how will you have supernatural increase?
1. REVELATION (Gen 13:14-15, Exo 7:1, Jer 1:11-12)
• Until you see increase, it can’t be given to you.
• It all starts with you catching a revelation of what God is saying.
• Revelation sets the pace for manifestation of anything.
• You can’t have lust if you have not seen, heard or touched.
• You can’t have desire for supernatural increase if you have not seen a revelation of it in your mind.
• It is important to meditate because it fuels revelation.
• Prayer with fasting also fuels revelation.
• If you are going to fast without praying, just eat your food and don’t trouble yourself.
• In prayer and fasting, prayer is the major thing.
• As you are meditating, the Spirit of God causes that thing you are seeing to become your reality.
• As you see, you are transformed into what you are seeing.
2. FAITH (2 Cor 4:13, Acts 4:20, James 2:26)
• Revelation will generate faith in you.
• Speak what you believe and act according to what you believe.
• The proof that you have faith is that you speak in line with what you believe.
• Faith without corresponding actions is dead.
3. SOWING (Gen 8:22, 26:1-4, 12-14, Gal 6:9, Eccl 11:1-3, 2 Cor 9:6-7, 10 (NLT), John 12:24, Luke 5:3)
• There is no harvest without sowing.
• Life has been programmed to run around the principle of sowing and reaping.
• The word of God you hear is meant for you to sow in order to reap from it.
• Sowing may be natural but increase of what we sow is supernatural.
• If you sow hatred, you are supposed to reap hatred in multiplied form.
• If you sow stinginess, you will soon reap it in multiplied form in your life.
• You don’t sow because everything is alright, you sow because you want an increase.
• Famine is one of the evils that come on the earth but your escape out of it is sowing .
Sowing in order to have reap a harvest, regardless of circumstances is what leads to supernatural increase.
• Your harvest size is not determined by anything else but the size of your seed.
• Your seed tells us the harvest you are expecting.
• Your harvest is determined during sowing and not during harvest.
• God gives seed to everyone.
• You determine what to do with your seed, whether to eat it or plant it.
• For many children of God, the stagnation is in their planting. They keep on having the same harvest because they plant the same amount of seeds.
• If you want increase, change your seed size.
• When you are praying and you have come to a stalemate because your input is equal to the resistance, you must increase your prayers.
• No man is without a seed.
• The day you tell God you want to be a sower, He will give you seed.
• Seed comes like food, it comes like something you can use to spend on something.
• What we call investment is actually sowing. It is different from expenditure.
• If sowing is not in place, other keys for supernatural harvest are useless.
• It is useless to water and weed a ground which has no seed in it.
4. HONOUR THE LORD (Prov 3:6-10)
• This is valuing the Lord, placing Him first.
• Firstfruit is one of the ways in which you honour God.
• When you choose to live for God, you are honouring the Lord in that area.
• Don’t practice honour while there is no seed in the ground.
5. OBEDIENCE TO DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS (Gen 26:2, Deut 28:1-2, Job 22:21-23, 36:11, John 2:5-10, Luke 5:4-6)
• The instructions that the Lord tells you will lead to increase.
6. PRAYER (1 Chr 4:9-10)
• You can ask for increase in prayer but it is better to ask for increase while your seed is in the ground.
7. PRAISE AND THANKGSIVING (Psa 67:5-7, Joel 1:11-12, Jer 30:19, Rom 4:19-21, John 6:9-13, Acts 2:46-47, Hab 3:17-19)
• Praise is a spiritual machine for harvesting that causes a harvest to increase and be reaped.
• Praise and thanksgiving should be accompanied by joy.
• Be deliberate about this, let it be a lifestyle for you.
• Celebrate God for the harvest you are expecting. Don’t wait for it to arrive, make it arrive by your praise.
• There is a thanksgiving you give in anticipation that helps to bring together the harvest.
• Don’t allow joyless people to hang around your business, they will kill it.
• Don’t praise God based on circumstances.
