Sermon Note
Pastor Prince
One thing you do that will produce prosperity in your life is to meditate.
Focus both day and night. Is a lifestyle.
Psalms 1:2-3
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
Whatever he does prosper!
Luke 12:15
And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”
You spend a lot of time at work and if that is your single motivation your life will be boring.
Ask God for spirit of wisdom and revelation to enlighten you and to have visions. Whatever you do as unto the Lord you shall receive the rewards of inheritance.
Seek first His kingdom and all these things will be added unto you.
1 Timothy 6:6
Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
1 Timothy 4:7-9
But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.
Spiritual mental social and in every areas of your life
1 Timothy 4:9
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.
I pray that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers
What is inside (soul prosperity) comes outside
What is Godliness?
Good, worship
1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
Godliness is a noun
Our thoughts our minds are engaged. We study the life of Jesus. This is exercise of godliness
When we are engaged with the life of Jesus, the redemptive truth life of Jesus, that is godliness
1 Timothy 4:13-15
Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.
Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.
When you meditate, your progress may be evident to all! Your profiting is evident in all things in your life.
Genesis 39:3
And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand.
1 Corinthians 13:10
But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
All these things are gifts of God
Covet earnestly
Gifts of healings
We are to covet earnestly for the best gifts
1 Corinthians 14:1 (ESV)
Prophecy and Tongues
Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.
Psalms 39:3
My heart became hot within me.
As I mused, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
Preach what is boiling in your heart
Anointing has the word bubbling up
Musing -> meditate
Hagig -> noun of Hagah
Psalms 1:2
But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
If you speak with fire in your heart that is when it will penetrate
While i was musing, the fire burn
Musing is opposite from amusement
A condition people cannot experience pleasure
Physically they are not able to
The more you look forward to be entertained, you can come to a place of inability to experience pleasure.
There are times you need to exercise self-control.
If you are addicted to it, you are addicted to the look for pleasure
You cannot enjoy food if you don’t control and addicted to eating
Amusing – the “a” negate musing
Be freed from the bondage of social media
The more you are addicted the more they can abstract profit from you
You play game all the time to amuse yourself
Allow yourself to be “bored” and mused, creative thoughts will raise up
1 Corinthians 6:12
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
Spend the time. Live in the moment. Live in the now
Something you give up right now but you enjoy greatly later
Luke 10:38-42
Mary and Martha Worship and Serve
Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”
And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
One thing is needed
Distracted – Being pulled into different direction
Merimnao – distracted
Matthew 6:25
Do Not Worry
(Luke 12:22–31)
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
The cow will eat grass (lots of grass) the cow will lie down somewhere and chew on the grass
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Proverbs 4:22
For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.

Hebrews 4:12

For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.
1 Timothy 4:13-15
Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.

He has everything. He is all powerful. The King of kings and the Lord of lords. When He comes to your home, He wants you to take from Him
The Lord loves you. He wants to come into your home. Switch off the social media
