PASTOR CHIGBO BENWONDER NWABUEZE

What is Financial Favour?

1. Having no financial concern at all. Revelation 3:17, 1Peter 5:7, Deuteronomy 12:10, 11:10-12
2. Having all your needs met by the glory and His blessings. All needs are meetable depending on your source or your concerns. Philippians 4:19, Ephesians 1:3. God has the capacity to meet all needs and all wants, at the same time. Proverbs 10:22.
3. In the covenant, we do not get anything by all means; but by God’s means. Jeremiah 17:3
4. You cannot enjoy financial fortune without the covenant of abundance in place. Jeremiah 17:11, Deuteronomy 8:17-18, Zechariah 4

What is a covenant?

1. A covenant is a spiritual platform where we commit God by our obedience of faith to make good His promises. Hebrews 6:13-14, Genesis 22:16-18,
2. There is something you do that triggers what God can do. Genesis 8:22. We must be conscious that there is something at the other end of our obedience to God’s covenant.
3. A covenant is as valid as day and night

Avenues through which we receive returns for our obedience. Luke 6:38

Let giving not grieve you, because you are not giving in vain, but you are giving to gain.

1. The ground does not need you as much as you need the ground to multiply your seed.
2. The church is the ground you need to multiply your seed. 1Kings 3:4-5
3. Give joyfully. Joel 1:11-12. Offense is a weed, it will choke your harvest. There are certain things in life that cannot be moved. He is the ‘I AM that I AM even without you. Hebrews 12:28

How does God respond?

1. Through the blessings of God. Malachi 3:10. Your bringing is a key to your blessings. Proverbs 10:22
2. Through supernatural favour. It ends emptiness. The only way to end emptiness in your life is to introduce the element of favour.
3. Through priestly blessings. The priests are the authorised agents that can disburse God’s blessings. Number 6:25-27
4. Through the rain of divine ideas. Genesis 30:31-33,37-43
5. Through parental blessings. Do not get your parents offended, honour them. Ephesians 6:3. There are certain covenant blessings connected to taking care of your parents. There are some blessings that cannot die with your parents. Genesis 27:1.
6. Bringing and blessing is a mystery you cannot ignore.
