Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed PREFACE
Kingdom Key Matthew 13: 11 He replied, The Knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. NIV
God has tucked away many mysteries in the Bible that until today we are still unravelling. These are mysteries of how we are required to manage our lives, how we are to relate with people and how we are to handle our finances. God is a God of mysteries, yet it is His desire that all his sons will learn these mysteries, apply them and live a life of dominion here on earth. My journey as a bona fide child of God began in May 1999. One of the first things I wanted to learn as a new Believer was what was Gods will for our lives concerning our careers, our money and wealth creation. I thought that once a person gets born again, they are to pack their bags and sign up in a Bible College and then eventually become a Pastor or work within the four walls of the Church or other Para-church organization. I never imagined that God can use a Christian in the marketplace or in anything that has to do with money and wealth creation. As I started to read the Bible and grow spiritually, I learnt that God has a purpose for each one of us and it does not necessarily have to be in the four walls of your local church. I learnt that God desires that we learn and apply the principles of the Kingdom of God even in the manner in which we handle our jobs, businesses and our money. God gave mankind the dominion mandate when he was in the Garden of Eden and wealth creation is part of the package. As sons of God we are called a royal -7www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed priesthood and this means we are anointed to operate as Kings and Priests in the marketplace (if we are not in the full-time ministry) and dominate in our sphere of influence using our gifts, talents, abilities, skills, education and life experiences. Jesus Christ talked continually saying that the Kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus came to restore the Kingdom of God on earth. We are therefore called to embrace a Kingdom-mindset. Life in the Kingdom of God is really about returning to the governing authority of God. In fact, part of understanding about the way the Kingdom of God functions, is learning how to use the keys of the Kingdom of God to unlock mysteries of the said Kingdom. I want to use this e-booklet to empower Christians on some of these principles of the Kingdom of God as far as wealth creation is concerned. I seek to bring out the principles that God placed in the Bible that his sons are to use to become the head and not the tail in the marketplace. I seek to move away from the extremes one of prosperity theology and one of poverty mindset. Prosperity theology tends to lack balance because Christians are told it is your right to have wealth, but often times the manner in which that wealth is acquired and the manner it is used is not compatible to the principles of the Kingdom of God. On the other hand the poverty mindset leads Christians to accept a mediocre and simple life because they are told that their wealth and their mansions are waiting for them in heaven after they die. Gods desire is to bring his children into the fullness of their sonship and this includes a life of dominion here on earth. It is not easy to live in dominion if one is poor. Therefore Kingdom wealth was and still is part of the package that God has given to his sons. It is very important that we Christians learn what Gods purpose for giving us wealth is, so that we do not misuse it. The purpose of this ebooklet is to give a balanced message of how God our Creator desires his sons to create Kingdom wealth and what they are to use it for.
INTRODUCTION
Kingdom Key Psalms 35: 27 May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, The Lord be exalted, who delights in the wellbeing of his servant. NIV
According to the Websters Reference Library Concise Edition Dictionary and Thesaurus, the word principle means a basic truth; a law or doctrine used as a basis for others; a moral code of conduct or the method of a things working. The principles of Kingdom wealth therefore simply mean the basic truths of wealth according to Gods plan in the Bible. It means how to create and sustain wealth and how to use it for the glory of God and the expansion of the Kingdom of God here on earth. Why does God want his sons to be wealthy? In my best-selling e-book Seven Secrets of the End-Time Wealth Transfer Revealed Unlocking Financial Mysteries of the Kingdom of God I introduced the definition of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom Millionaire. I will repeat these basic concepts again as they are important in understanding some fundamental issues that will be discussed in this e-booklet. Who is a Kingdom Millionaire? A Kingdom Millionaire is a Christian Entrepreneur who, under the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit, uses his talents, gifts, skills, abilities, education and experiences to innovate and create products and services that are sold to generate profits, that eventually multiply to become wealth that is gradually channelled towards the expansion of the Kingdom of God here on earth. -9www.thekingdommillionaires.com
In his book Rediscovering the Kingdom Ancient Hope for our 21st Century World, Dr. Myles Munroe defines the Kingdom of God as the actual rule of God in the spiritual realm, and the Kingdom of Heaven as the headquarters and the heavenly invasion upon the earth, or the transfer of power from the spiritual realm to the physical. The Kingdom of God on earth, therefore is Gods authority within the heart and spirit of man, and the Kingdom of Heaven is when that authority impacts the human earthly environment through His designated representatives. In other words, we who are the Kingdom of God on earth can, through the Holy Spirit who resides in our hearts, take our King with us everywhere we go and impact our environment by helping bring the Kingdom of Heaven to that place. This is what Jesus meant when he said, Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near. (Matt 4:17). He had arrived, bringing the Kingdom with Him, and in Him. With His Spirit in us, we too, can carry His Kingdom with us wherever we go.

Building the Church is what Jesus does; taking His Kingdom all over the earth is what he commanded us to do. Why is this still necessary if He died victoriously on the cross and rose majestically from the tomb? Because there is an evil empire still entrenched all over the earth that needs to be dismantled using the keys entrusted to us. Satan and his minions no longer have the authority in the heavenly realm nor the right on earth, but like stubborn spiritual squatters, they refuse to relinquish their position and this is why Jesus has deputized His Church (His army) to evict them.2 God gave mankind the dominion mandate as per: Genesis 1: 26 & 27 Then God said, Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the

Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed ground. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. NIV. The meaning of dominion is to rule or to reign, to master, to be King, royal rule, Kingdom and kingly. Dr. Myles Munroe defines it as follows: To be given dominion means to be established as a sovereign, kingly, master, governor, responsible for reigning over a designated territory, with the inherent authority to represent and embody as a symbol, the territory, resources and all that constitutes that Kingdom. God gave man a dominion mandate over the earth; He gave him responsibility over His government on earth. God intended mankind to embody the nature of God on earth and serve as His divine representative in the physical world.3 Deuteronomy 8: 18 But thou shall remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. KJV In order for man to fulfil this dominion mandate, he requires the authority, skills and resources necessary. This is where Kingdom wealth creation comes in. In this e-booklet we will take a journey to discover what exactly Kingdom wealth is, where it comes from and what its purpose is. This e-booklet starts by exploring some basic facts about how the Kingdom of God functions and some of its paradoxes. In order to fully understand the way the Kingdom of God functions, many Christians will have to embrace new paradigms and thinking patterns. Remember Jesus Christ said that you cannot put new wine in old wine skins. (Luke 5: 37). Chapter two explores the principle of the Garden of Eden that relates to the mystery of our calling; chapter three describes how God created us in his own image and why it is therefore possible for us to live in dominion here on earth. Chapter four looks at the fundamental principles of Doing business Gods way and chapter five stresses the importance of being financially literate.

Rediscovering the Kingdom Ancient Hope for our 21st Century - by Dr. Myles Munroe Pg 31
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Chapter six reiterates the mystery of giving that is very important in the way the Kingdom of God functions and chapter seven concludes by looking briefly at the role of discipling the nations and the mystery of the end-time wealth transfer. This e-booklet is NOT about prosperity theology or a get-rich-quick strategy for the Christians in the marketplace, but is meant for Christians who have been tested or are not afraid to be tested by God through the fires of affliction, just like Joseph and Daniel. Christians who are broken and completely dead to self, and whose highest agenda and priority is to see the Kingdom of God manifested here on earth.
Kingdom Titbit To understand how the Kingdom of Heaven works and how it holds sway over the visible world, we must place two facts in the brightest light. First, there is absolute abundance in the Kingdom of God. Second, it is possible to have total favour with the ruler of that abundance. On the first point Jesus telling His disciples that they were being permitted to know the secrets of the Kingdom, set forth the truth of abundance with a parable about a sower. The seed that fell on the ground, He said yielded crops of thirtyfold, sixtyfold and hundredfold. That is abundance returns of 3,000, 6,000 and 10,000 percent. You see, there is no economic recession, no shortage, in the Kingdom of God. Throughout our forests, we see this truth touching the physical world. Consider the profusion of seed that comes from a maple tree. Look at the multiplicity of colours in a sunset; there are more hues that we can name. Plant life, marine life, bird life there is no end, almost as though God had sent abundance into the universe as testimony of His own infinitude. Pat Robertson in his book The Secret Kingdom Your Path to Peace, Love and Financial Security page 69. - 12 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Chapter One Kingdom Principle No. 1. The Secrets of the Kingdom Embrace the Paradigm Shifts
Kingdom Key Matthew 13: 11 He replied, The Knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. NIV
Jesus Christ gave many parables to His disciples concerning the way the Kingdom of God worked. These Kingdom principles are spiritual, yet not religious, they are practical, but are understood by revelation. The principles are supposed to liberate, transform and impact peoples lives. Two people may hear the same parable; one will understand it by revelation and the other will not. That is why Jesus told his disciples that it has been given to them to understand the keys/mysteries of the Kingdom of God. It had not been given to everybody. As Kingdom Millionaires, these principles of the Kingdom of God must form the blue print of our lives. They must be a part of our lifestyle. As a Kingdom Millionaire aligns his life including his finances with these Kingdom principles, his mind and life will be transformed; therefore he will be used by God to transform and impact other peoples lives using Kingdom wealth. If God is to use you as part of the group of people who will enjoy Kingdom wealth, He has to trust that you will do what is needed to be done. This will require a paradigm shift on the way the individual thinks. - 13 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed I would like to review a few of the paradoxes of the way the Kingdom of God works. Most people believe that you should hate your enemies and revenge when they hurt you. Jesus Christ preached that we should love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Matthew 5: 43 - 45 You have heard that it is said, Love your neighbour, and hate your enemy. But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. This is a clear indication that for us to properly understand and function in the Kingdom of God we must understand the heart and mind of God. Gods grace is provided to people who are good and those who are bad. We too, as difficult as it may be should learn to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. If you are unable to do this, ask for grace. In your journey to Kingdom wealth creation, there will be many road bumps, people get hurt and enemies are created. Stop and just love those enemies!
Another paradox of the way the Kingdom of God functions is the issue of becoming like a child in order to become great and also the issue of Servantleadership. How can a leader be a Servant? People generally have a desire for greatness. They want to be great. The ego wants to pursue a life of greatness. Jesus Christ gave his opinion on what it means to be great. The Bible spells out this very clearly: Matthew 18: 2 4 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them. And said verily, I say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter in the Kingdom of heaven. KJV Matthew 20: 26 27 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. KJV - 14 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Luke 22: 25 27 And he said unto them, The Kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you let him be as the younger; and he that is chief as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth. KJV A Servant-leader is a person who serves his community or nation with his gift. If you have not discovered your area of gifting, you cannot become a Servant-leader. Servant-leadership is serving at every opportunity; it means giving yourself fully to serve others selflessly. This is definitely a paradox from the normal practice; where the followers serve the leaders. So telling the so-called leaders to serve their subjects is a challenge to the status quo. Most leaders we see around us today focus on what they can get from their followers. A third paradox that I will mention is that of our attitude towards money and treasures. The world tells us that we should accumulate wealth and store it up for our own vanity and enjoyment. The Principles of the Kingdom of God dictate that we should store our treasures in Heaven (this is done through sowing seed into the Kingdom of God and blessing others). Matthew 6: 19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasures are, there your heart will be also. A fourth principle of the Kingdom of God is the issue of generosity. The worlds way is to keep what you have for me, myself and I and sometimes my family. The principles of the Kingdom dictate that we should do good and bless the poor, the widows and the orphans.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Deuteronomy 15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land; therefore I command thee saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor and thy needy in thy land. KJV. Deuteronomy 14: 28 - 29 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that years produce and store it in your towns, so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. NIV. 2nd Corinthians 9: 6, 8, 11 Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. And, God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times; having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. NIV. Fifthly, the world teaches us that we should love our lives, ourselves and guard our lives. The Kingdom of God dictates that he who looses his life for the sake of the Kingdom of God will receive hundred fold blessings in this life and the eternal life to come. Mark 10:29 30 I tell you the truth, Jesus replied, no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life NIV. Finally the world teaches that an individual should focus on creating his empire/Kingdom. The Kingdom of God principles urge us to seek first the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all these additional things will be added unto us. This includes the Kingdom that was prepared for us at the creation of the world. - 16 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Matthew 25: 34 40 Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Then the righteous will answer him, Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you? The King will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. NIV. As a Kingdom Millionaire, once you understand these basic principles of how the Kingdom of God functions, you will be in a better position to lay an excellent foundation for Kingdom wealth creation. Amen!
Kingdom Titbit God approaches life from the opposite angle. He operates on the principle of plenty. In Gods kingdom, the successful man or woman is the one who gives the most away. (A Kingdom Millionaire emphasis added). The world says, He who dies with the most toys wins. The Kingdom says, He who gives away the most wins. God doesnt see the cup as half full or half empty He sees it overflowing! From Gods perspective, words like scarce resources, conserve, save up and limited are meaningless. His is a world without limits, and we can connect to it. Hidden Power Tap into a Kingdom principle that will change you forever by Tommy Barnett. Page 26.
Chapter Two Kingdom Principle No. 2 The Garden of Eden Unlock the Mystery of your Calling
Kingdom Key Matthew 13: 44 - 46 The Kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again the Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it NIV.
God is the All-knowing God, therefore everything that has been invented and that is currently in the process of being invented now or in the future, He knows about it. God is the source of all wisdom, knowledge and divine insight. God blesses his sons through the flow of divine ideas. When you are faithful and consistent in your giving to the work of the expansion of the Kingdom of God and blessing others, God will give you more wealth through the flow of divine ideas and divine favour. Divine ideas can be referred to as wisdom. Wisdom is a fundamental key in the Kingdom wealth creation process. The Spirit of God is a Spirit of power and wisdom. There are several key people in the Bible who received their wealth transfer through divine ideas. Jacob, while still working for Laban, received a divine insight through a dream that led him to receive a wealth transfer from Laban through the creation of a special breed of animal. Divine ideas are superior to intellectual capabilities, talents and skills. The issue of divine ideas brings me to a revelation that God gave to me. I refer to it as the mystery of your Garden of Eden. God has created a Garden of Eden for all of us. It is important that we locate where this Garden of Eden is and tend it, - 18 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed keep it and harvest from it. Your Garden of Eden is also connected to your gifts, talents, abilities and skills. This garden is your place of provision and your wealth transfer will come from there. The key is to locate it. Who created the Garden of Eden? God created the Garden of Eden. Let us take a walk into the scriptures: Genesis 2: 8 15 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. NIV. This is proof that God created the Garden of Eden and then placed man in it. All the provision that Adam needed was already in this garden, including gold and onyx. In addition, there were four rivers flowing through this garden providing multiple streams of blessings. Wow! Adams assignment was to manage this wealth that he had already been given. This was his inheritance for being a son of God. No struggling! But you all know that this did not go too well. Through the deception from the serpent, Adam lost his inheritance and his sonship. Instead of the land working for him, he was cursed to work for the land and the land was cursed such that instead of producing a harvest of gold and onyx it instead produced a harvest of thorns and thistles. Adam now lived under a curse and instead of his garden providing for him, he had to sweat to get an increase of any kind. This curse was broken at the cross at Calvary by Jesus Christ. He paid the price. The marketplace also has been - 19 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed redeemed and God wants to show his sons how to locate their Garden of Eden in the said marketplace that will have all of their provisions. Many Christians are still living in a cursed garden and they have not yet located their Garden of Eden. Because of this, they are struggling from hand to mouth to earn a living. If you are reading this book and you are going through this, I prophesy to you that, it will come to an end as you catch this revelation. A cursed garden will cause you to have no joy in what you do. You will be constantly complaining and most of all; this garden will produce thorns and thistles instead of gold and onyx. How will you know if you are living in a cursed garden? If you are experiencing any of the following signs and symptoms in your job or business venture then you are still living in a cursed garden. If you are in a job or business venture because it is based on the opportunities in the marketplace, or pressure from a career that was chosen for you by your parents and not on your gifts, talents and skills. If you are in a job or business where you cannot determine your level of income, and you can be dismissed at any time. If you wake up in the morning with the attitude not another day in that god-forsaken job or business! If you find that you are always disorganized. Your business has a management system called management by crisis. Instead of planning you are constantly reacting to one crisis after another. You have no sense of direction as to where this business will be in the next three five years. If you are overworked in your job or business and hate every minute of it If you are working in a job or business where you are not able to see the glory of God or worship God in what you are doing.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed If you are not even able to tithe from your current income or be a blessing to someone else. Your salary is enough for you and your immediate family. When there is a request to give for the work of God, you grumble. If you are experiencing all or any of the above-mentioned symptoms It means you are living in a cursed garden, therefore you need to break out of this bondage and ask God to reveal to you the location of your Garden of Eden. This will ensure your growth is faster than you can imagine. You will know that you are in your Garden of Eden when you are experiencing any of the following in your job or business venture: If you have understood your gifts, talents and abilities and you are using them to create products or services, and they are being sold to bring you profits, and these profits are being channelled towards Kingdom wealth creation through lucrative investments. If you wake up every morning feeling truly blessed to be doing what you are doing even before the money has started coming into the business or job. If you are constantly receiving new ideas from God on how to improve your job or business and as you pursue these ideas, your productivity increases bringing you higher profits that translates into more Kingdom wealth. If every business venture you are starting produces profits for you without struggling. If you are experiencing all-round favour from God in your businesses. You are not struggling to get contracts, clients are paying on time and hence you are not in debt. If you are able to reconcile your gifts, job/business and calling with the overall purpose of God to expand His Kingdom on earth.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed If you are able to tithe and bless other people with the income that you receive comfortably without complaining, suffering or going into further debt. If you have no doubt in your heart that what you are doing is what you were created to do. If all the above-mentioned symptoms are in your life, you have located your Garden of Eden and you will thrive and walk in dominion to the glory of God. You will make your Father God very happy and He will say to you well done my son. Receive now the Kingdom that was prepared for you since the creation of the world! (Matthew 25: 34 40).

Kingdom Titbit God is leading many Kings through a thrilling process of getting connected to their hearts desires. Heres the secret youre going to find the will of God in your hearts desire. Sure you have to judge those desires and discern which are Godly and which are not. But for Christians, the will of God goes through the desires of your heart. I used to feel quite spiritual when I was doing something for God that I didnt enjoy. Now Im still willing to sacrifice and live a disciplined life, but the reason is for the joy set before me in this life. Kings love the will of God and delight in expanding the Kingdom.

Chapter Three Kingdom Principle No. 3 Created in His Image Awaken the Entrepreneur in You
Kingdom Keys Genesis 1: 28 God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground. NIV Luke 16: 10 Whoever can be trusted with little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. NIV.
The word entrepreneur is derived from two French words entrer to enter and prendre which means to take to enter and to take. An entrepreneur is therefore a person who has the vision to see opportunities, the courage to take business risks and the ability to keep a business going despite difficulties. While someone may be able to start a business, not everybody is an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur invents, innovates and creates. A Kingdom Millionaire MUST have the characteristics of an entrepreneur. Why? Genesis 1: 26 Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. NIV. This means in essence that God who is a Creator/Inventor placed in each one of us those same abilities to create and invent. The gene of being an entrepreneur is in all of us. Whether we harness this aspect in our lives or not depends on very many things such as education, awareness, knowledge versus ignorance, exposure and upbringing. - 23 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed In these last days God is giving many of his sons who are sensitive in the spirit ideas that will birth new inventions in technology, energy, science, information technology, communications, and transport industry and so on. A Kingdom Millionaire must be someone who can birth new businesses in the various abovementioned fields. Some of the common Top TEN characteristics of entrepreneurs include the following: An entrepreneur must pay the price to further his level of education. He must invest in himself to learn about money, business and investments because this is an important part of thriving and not just surviving in the marketplace; he must keep himself informed by reading books, magazines, journals, reports; he must join business associations and clubs and network with other skilled business people to learn secrets of success and help define his own goals and objectives. He must also attend business & marketing seminars, workshops and training courses. An entrepreneur must learn the art of planning. It is one thing to have a good idea/invention but pursuing it to the end requires serious planning. It is said that failure to plan means you are planning to fail. An entrepreneur should pursue an invention/idea within what he loves doing. Passion is a very serious motivator. If you are passionate about something, you will have no problem working late into the night to meet the deadlines. An entrepreneur must be focused. Do not have too many balls in the air. Focus on the core business and the things that you do with ease and delegate the rest. This will make you an authority in that particular area. An entrepreneur must build a strong team to work with. Greatness is usually a team effort. No one can do it all on their own. I am usually concerned when I hear people using words such as self-made millionaire. - 24 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Team means that Together Everyone Accomplishes More, so you need a dynamic team of talented and motivated people. An entrepreneur must be a strategic thinker. He must analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of any business venture in order to plan well and succeed in that area of business. An entrepreneur must not be afraid of taking risks and failure. Most of the modern day millionaires and billionaires made their fair share of mistakes and some were declared bankrupt on several occasions. Some lessons can only be learnt through trial and error or through what I refer to as failing forward. An entrepreneur must create a competitive advantage for his products or services. There must be something different about your product or service that will motivate people to buy it and become repeat customers. Some aspects of competitive advantage include longer warranties, longer business hours, better customer service, more flexible payment options, better return and exchange policies and personalized service. In addition, an entrepreneur must work hard in order to become the expert in his area of operation. An entrepreneur should work at creating a business enterprise that will outlive him. This is part of what I like to refer as building multigenerational wealth. Some of the best stores today were founded in the 1800s and are still thriving. Even the bible says in the book of Proverbs that a good man leaves an inheritance for his childrens children. (Proverbs 13: 22). An entrepreneur must build a rock-solid reputation through honouring his promises and commitments and provision of excellent products or services on time, and be consistent in order to gain trust from clients. Customer satisfaction should be his motto.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed A Kingdom Millionaire must be an entrepreneur and create and invent diverse products and services in order to have a steady flow of multiple streams of income through his several Kingdom business ventures and investments. This will ensure that even if one part of the business arena is affected, other businesses will sustain the ones that are affected. According to wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia, creativity is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. The process involves original thinking and then producing. The process of creation was historically reserved for deities creating from nothing in Creationism and other creation myths. Over time, the term creativity came to include human innovation, especially in art and science and led to the emergence of the creative class. Creativity can therefore be defined as the ability to apply certain skills, abilities and talents to produce new products, services, systems and processes. Creativity involves work that solves problems. As I mentioned earlier, one mans problem is another entrepreneurs business opportunity. Creativity involves bringing solutions to problems. The mobile telephone has solved the problem of communication while bringing much wealth to the people that invented it. The internet has solved the problem of interactive communication and enabled people who created it like Bill Gates to walk in wealth. The motor vehicle solved the problem of moving from point A to point B and brought unparalleled wealth to the inventors. I could go on, but I believe that you have got my point. Necessity is the mother of invention, whereas creativity is the solution to problems. In these last days, God is giving his sons divine ideas which solve particular problems. I for example was very frustrated at the manner in which the internet was flooded with new age material about doing business, investing and wealth creation in general that it was no surprise to me when God gave me this divine idea of empowering Christians about Kingdom principles of wealth creation and business management. Sometimes the entrepreneur may not have all the skills
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed required, therefore additional learning will be necessary. I always say that the price has to be paid there is no shortcut to the creation of wealth. Creativity will involve stretching yourself, your skills and even your faith. You will have to dig deeper and start using those skills hidden in you that have been lying dormant. Remember God our Father is a Creator and as I mentioned earlier, He created us in His own image and therefore the seed of creativity lies in all of us. Creativity will involve practising before you get it right. If you decide to start writing books, you can start with baby steps. Write short articles and submit them, then move to short stories, and then start your first book. You will have to possibly work with a mentor who has accomplished some success in the area you are interested in. This will help you to avoid some simple mistakes that your mentor might have made. Once you start your business, customers will pay for your creativity. Creativity will enable you to establish a niche market and set yourself apart, or be different from the competitors in your market segment. I believe that there is no limit to creativity. As long as you are alive and are able to speak and hear from God to give you divine ideas, you will create things until the day you go home to be with the Lord or until the rapture whichever comes first. The Bible says that we have been given the mind of Christ so let us not under estimate our God-given abilities. The vast potentials of the creative ability of God in us have not yet been developed. Our creative ability is from God. God, is the bank where our creative resources are deposited. We use Gods wisdom and creative ability, which is inexhaustible. Anybody who is a born-again child of God with a regenerated spirit has access to this inexhaustible supply of creative ability. According to wikipedia the online encyclopaedia, innovation means a change in the thought process of doing something or new stuff that is made useful. It may refer to incremental emergent or radical and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. In many fields, such as the arts, economics and government policy, something new must be substantially different to be innovative. In economics, the change must increase value, customer value, or - 27 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed producer value. The goal of innovation is positive change, to make someone or something better. Innovation that leads to increased productivity is the fundamental source of increasing wealth in an economy. Innovation therefore, means thinking outside the box, or creating something that is different from what is already in the market in a particular product or service category. Innovation can involve improving on an existing product, for example the mobile telephone. When the mobile telephone was first introduced in the market, the hand sets were huge gadgets that were difficult to carry around. Now you can get a mobile hand set the size of a lipstick. This is innovation which involves improving on an already existing product. The opposite of innovation is tradition, conformity, custom. The world is evolving at such a fast pace that innovation is the order of the day. An entrepreneur cannot afford to stagnate at one spot, otherwise he will merely survive instead of thrive in the marketplace. Innovation is a very fundamental key in the area of wealth creation. If you are going to create products or services that will out sell the competitors, you must be innovative. The principle of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship go hand-in-hand as far as Kingdom wealth creation is concerned. An entrepreneur, who will use his creativity to manufacture innovative products or services will definitely excel in the marketplace. As I was researching material for this book, I read a lot about entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship. My journey to becoming an entrepreneur is also very interesting and I will be sharing it in one of my other upcoming e-books. One of the things I learnt about entrepreneurs is that many of them usually start by selling their services and in fact, they start off broke or with little money but they learn their money-making skills from the very beginning what I like to refer to as the School of Hard Knocks learning through adversity and crisis and mistakes and trial and error. The job market is changing in many nations. More universities are producing more graduates who may sometimes not be all - 28 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed absorbed into the existing job markets so the need to create ones own business is almost not an option. For others who have reached the peak of their careers, finding an employer to pay them what they are worth is not always easy, hence the need to start ones own business. In short, this is the age of entrepreneurship. More and more governments are creating better policies to support entrepreneurs especially in the small and micro enterprise category. On the other hand, more and more banking institutions are providing easy access to finances for start-up businesses. Several other reasons are also responsible for this rise in entrepreneurship. The increase in knowledge is one of them. More and more books, articles on the internet, personal development/empowerment training seminars are easily available now than ever before to help create an environment with many new ideas that can flourish. Technology on the other hand is expanding at a high rate with new products entering the market every other day. Competition is also more aggressive than in the past. Entrepreneurs are exploring and using more modern methods to market and sell their products and services and to provide superior customer service. It is said that most of the current millionaires and billionaires in the United States of America are first-generation millionaires or billionaires. This means that they did not inherit their wealth. They started from scratch and learnt the success secrets required for them to become millionaires and billionaires. Why am I telling you this? It is possible for you who is reading this book to become a Kingdom Millionaire to achieve even more than has already been achieved. As you purpose to become a Kingdom Millionaire, you must purpose to be an entrepreneur because that is the only way to create wealth. You cannot create wealth while in salaried employment. Once you become an entrepreneur and create a successful business venture, you simply replicate this and create other successful business ventures or franchises and then let your money work for you as you become an investor. Herein is the principle of the Garden of Eden - 29 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed enforced, because you tend your garden and it produces for you wealth without too much sweat. Just to close this section I will list three things that will give a Kingdom Millionaire success as an entrepreneur. 1. Focus. Focus means having a clear vision and mission that you diligently pursue to the very end. It is important to focus on one business, master it and become the best in that field before venturing into other new areas. The business venture that you will select will depend on your skills, abilities, education background, ability to take risk and the current market trends. You have to also be clear on the purpose for your life and business and mostly Gods call upon your life. Has God called you to be a Kingdom Millionaire? 2. Excellence: You cannot compromise on quality. Once you are clear on your vision, mission, purpose, skills and strengths, you must strive to achieve excellence in all you do. Roll up your sleeves and do not be afraid to pay the price. You must not just be very good at what you do, you must be the best. I am determined to be the best at what I am currently doing in my generation. I am determined that presidents and first ladies will call me to give them advice on how to solve certain pertinent issues in their countries, and like Joseph and Daniel, God will give me solutions based on the principles of the Kingdom of God - to these issues. One of my favourite all time books is, Good to great by Jim Collins. We studied this book in our Oakseed Executive Leadership course conducted by Prof. Vincent Anigbogu of the Institute of National Transformation Kampala, Uganda November 2008 April 2009. According to Jim Collins, to be successful in business you first need to be doing something that you love, you have a passion for that sphere/area. Secondly, you have to have the potential to be the best in this area i.e. skills, talents, abilities, educational background, and personality. Thirdly, you must be able to generate profits from this business to bring you into a place of financial independence whereby you - 30 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed are able to achieve your financial goals. I recommend that everyone reading this book should also read Good to Great by Jim Collins. 3. Continuous improvement: An entrepreneur cannot afford to get comfortable at any stage of the journey. He must strive for continued growth and improvement through continuous learning. He should continue to try out new things, explore new ideas, new systems, better and different ways of production, marketing and sales. An entrepreneur should anticipate change, prepare for change and react positively and quickly to adapt to change. An entrepreneur must be persistent even during challenging moments and never give up. Creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship are very important principles in the system of Kingdom wealth creation so ensure that you have or are able to acquire these relevant attributes.
Kingdom Titbit An entrepreneur is an inventor, although few inventors are entrepreneurs. An inventor sees the world through the alert, wide-open eyes. An inventor lives asking the question, Whats missing in this picture? and then answers it by inventing the missing piece that makes the picture whole. He cant help himself, its just what he is called to do. What an entrepreneur does next, however, is what makes the difference between him and all other inventors. An entrepreneur invents new businesses. All other inventors invent new products. To the entrepreneur, the business he or she invents is a product, a unique product that stands out in a world of ordinary business products and, through its uniqueness, captures the attention and imagination of the people for whom it is invented: its customer, its employees, its suppliers, and its lenders and investors.

Chapter Four Kingdom Principle No. 4 El-Shaddai & Sons Inc. Doing Business Gods way
Kingdom Keys Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. KJV Matthew 13: 11 - 12 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. KJV
As a Kingdom Millionaire starts to build up a Kingdom business, it is very important to lay down the right foundation. A solid foundation will enable the business to withstand the test of time. This foundation is the principle of seeking first the Kingdom of God. It will therefore be very important for the Kingdom Millionaire to establish business goals and objectives based on seeking first the Kingdom of God. I strongly suggest to every Kingdom Millionaire to have the following five business goals and objectives: a) Financing the expansion of the Kingdom of God. Matthew 24: 14 And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. NIV. Jesus Christ will not return until this message of the Kingdom has been preached. How will this happen? Christians have to create Kingdom wealth that will be used to finance evangelism work, support missionaries, build churches, and transform communities and nations until the Gospel of the Kingdom is preached to all nations. The true fulfilment of the Great Commission will bring people into a complete experience of the Kingdom of God that includes godly economic - 32 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed systems and forms of government, education anchored in Gods word, families with Jesus Christ as the head, entertainment that portrays God in His variety and excitement, media based on communicating the truth in love, and churches that serve as sending stations for missionaries to all areas of society. A Kingdom Millionaire must see his business as a Strategic Partner of financing the spread of the gospel of the Kingdom into the nations before the end time. A percentage of the profits of a Kingdom business should be dedicated to financing the above-mentioned Kingdom initiatives. b) Producing and selling high quality goods and services to improve peoples lives. This will also include selling the goods or services at a fair price. A Kingdom business must position itself as a company of excellence, after all God is the CEO. The goods and services produced must be better than those of the competitors. Customers must be treated fairly and respectfully so that they patronize the business without complaining. c) Meeting needs: A Kingdom business will meet the needs of the employees, the owner and his family, the shareholders and the community around it. The employees must earn good salaries and be able to provide for their families. It is written in 1st Timothy 5:8 If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. NIV. d) Making a profit: A Kingdom business has to make profits. The business must produce quality goods and services, that satisfy customers, transform peoples lives and create Kingdom wealth through profits. Although profits are one of the goals of the Kingdom business, it is important to prioritize the principles of doing business Gods way over the profits. e) Impacting and transforming lives: A Kingdom business must be a change agent and bring transformation in the environment in which the business operates. This means that after several years of being in a particular place, it is evident that the lives of that particular community have been transformed. This can include improving the general infrastructure like roads, - 33 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed improving services such as public transportation, hospitals and schools and vocational training institutions. In addition, the business will give some of its profits out to different charity projects that are being conducted in the community. The power of covenanting your business to God A covenant can be defined as follows: a solemn promise to engage in or refrain from a specific action. A Covenant is a type of contract in which the covenantor makes a promise to a covenantee to do or not to do some action. We can see that it is therefore possible to enter into a covenant between God and your Kingdom business. What would such a covenant look like? A Kingdom Millionaire can decide to covenant his business to God and make God the CEO of that business venture. This would mean that the business will be managed according to biblical principles. For example, the business will tithe 10% or more of its revenue/gross profits into the multi-dimensional work of the expansion of the Kingdom of God and it will also give a certain percentage of its net profits to various community projects and charities. In addition, the business goals and objectives would be as indicated above: to finance the gospel of the Kingdom of God; produce high quality goods or services that will improve and transform peoples lives; meet needs of the employees, the owner and the shareholders; win souls for the Kingdom of God; make a profit; and impact and transform lives of people in the community. Proverb 16:3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. KJV. One of the major similarities of Kingdom Millionaires in the past was that most of them covenanted their Kingdom businesses to God. One story that I found particularly interesting was that of Stanley Tam. He began a silver recovery business that built collectors into tanks that photographers, X-ray labs, and printers could use to retrieve silver. In 1936, Sam became broke, and told the - 34 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Lord that if God would take the business and make it succeed, he would honour Him in every way he possibly could. Indeed the business prospered and grew and four years later Tam decided that he needed a senior partner. He therefore went to a lawyer and asked Him to draft an agreement that made God his Senior Partner. This agreement indicated that 51% of the profits of his companies would go into missionary and church work. In the following years, the business really prospered and soon Tam began to give away 60% of his income to missionary work. On 15 January 1955, he told God that he would turn the entire business over to Him and that he would no longer even be a stockholder in the company. Founding additional companies, Stanley Tam continued giving. The United States Plastic Corporation, established more than fifty years ago by Stanley Tam in Lima, Ohio was also placed under the ownership of God. Stanley Tam placed 100% of the stock ownership into a foundation whose purpose is to establish churches in Third World countries.4 A Kingdom business that is covenanted to God will no doubt enjoy seasons of trials, but if the owner does not compromise the standards and principles of the Kingdom of God, there will be a double or triple all-round restoration and God will be glorified. God will not allow His business to fail if He is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). (This topic is discussed in detail in my best-selling e-book titled Seven Secrets of the End-Time Wealth Transfer Revealed Unlocking Financial Mysteries of the Kingdom of God. I have also included a sample Kingdom business partnership covenant that can be made between God and a business.) The power of reflecting Jesus Christ in your business practices This means that when you are taking any business decision you must always ask yourself what would Jesus Christ do in this matter? This means that you manage your Kingdom business strictly on biblical principles of honesty, integrity, excellence etc. If you review the lifestyle of Jesus Christ, we see that He was straight forward and open in everything that He did. He exemplified justice

Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed and righteousness. Proverbs 3: 32 For the Lord detests a perverse man but takes the upright into his confidence NIV. To be upright means that if your Kingdom business undergoes an audit, and the results indicate that your company did not pay some taxes, you must in all honesty arrange to pay the taxes and any fine imposed on it. A Kingdom business operating in integrity will follow all laws of the Kingdom of God and of the government of the country that the business operates in and any other applicable national and international laws. If you are upright, God takes you into His confidence and even gives you more divine ideas and strategies to prosper you and your Kingdom businesses. Proverbs 4: 24 Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. NIV. These two Bible verses show us that honesty will always be rewarded and dishonesty will not be rewarded. Whatever we do in our Kingdom business, it must have high standards that will honour God. In Deuteronomy 17:1, God said to Moses Do not sacrifice to the Lord your God an Ox or a sheep that has any defect or flaw in it, for that would be detestable to him. NIV. Since our work is some sort of sacrifice of worship unto God, He therefore wants our businesses to have high standards. No short-cuts in our production costs. We must produce the best that will bring glory to God. The same standards of honesty apply when dealing with competitors. Deuteronomy 19:14 Do not move your neighbours boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possessNIV. In short, do not grab your neighbours land. God will hold you accountable to standards of honesty and integrity in all your business transactions.

Kingdom Titbit A business has a soul that must be born again (not literally, but figuratively). Like a man, a business usually starts out being built on natural principles that are a reflection of who the founder is. Like people, businesses have relationships, values, responsibilities, character, personality, passion, mission and vision. At some point in the growth of a business it takes on a life of its own and becomes a living-breathing entity that is governed by the laws of the earthly financial and human systems that all earthly businesses are bound and limited by. As with a human soul, God will bring a business to a place where it must make a decision about its identity. Will it continue to live as an earthly, natural entity that is limited by the earthly laws of business, or will it become born again as a business entity and takes on the values of the Kingdom of God and begin to govern itself by a new set of laws which are spiritual in nature.

Chapter Five Kingdom Principle No. 5 Financial Literacy Knowledge equals Power to Create Wealth
Kingdom Keys Hosea 4: 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children. NIV.
What does it mean to be financially literate? According to wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia, financial literacy means the ability to understand finance. More specifically, it refers to the set of skills and knowledge that allow an individual to make informed and effective decisions through their understanding of finances. It means to have a good understanding about money, financial management and investments. A person can be highly educated but financially illiterate. Many Christians are financially illiterate. They take ad hoc decisions daily concerning their finances, instead of operating with a financial management system. In order to create Kingdom wealth, one has to take the time to study, read and attend courses and seminars in order to become financially literate. There are many books in the market that are quick and simple to read and to understand that can teach an individual about financial management. A simple place to start would be to read some books such as Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cash flow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki. They are simple to understand irregardless of ones background. Start by having a financial plan, which will incorporate your short - 38 www.thekingdommillionaires.com

It is important to learn about the differences between such terms as assets, liabilities, financial independence, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, good and bad debt. It is easier to make financial decisions confidently when you understand more about these issues. Finances and money should not intimidate you. Learn about the mystery of compound interest, the different investments one can make, why some investments are more risky than others etc. Several financial literacy coaches in the market will sit down with you and assist you to create a financial plan. There is no shortcut to Kingdom wealth creation. One must have an in-depth understanding about financial matters. Every Kingdom Millionaire must understand the mystery of compound interest. Compound interest is the magic behind long term financial savings and investments. According to wikipedia the online encyclopaedia, compound interest arises when interest is added to the principal, so that from that moment on, the interest that has been added also itself earns interest. This addition of interest to the principal is called compounding. A bank account, for example, may have its interest compounded every year: in this case, an account with US$ 1000 initial principal and 20% interest per year would have a balance of US$ 1200 at the end of the first year, and US$ 1440 at the end of the second year if no additional money was deposited or withdrawn from the account, and so on. In order to define an interest rate fully, and enable one to compare it with other interest rates, the interest rate and the compounding frequency must be disclosed. Since most people prefer to think of rates as a yearly percentage, many governments require financial institutions to disclose the equivalent yearly compounded interest rate on deposits or advances. For instance the yearly rate for a loan with 1% interest per month is approximately 12.68% per annum.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed In my best-selling e-book titled Seven Secrets of the End-Time Wealth Transfer Revealed Unlocking Financial Mysteries of the Kingdom of God, I indicated in chapter two on the topic the profile of a Kingdom Millionaire that every Kingdom Millionaire must be financially literate and that if he is not, he has to pay a professional to teach him the basics of how to make his money to work for him. This journey must begin with baby steps as usual. A Kingdom Millionaire needs to learn the basics of investing, work with a professional and grow from there. I want to quickly point out the five steps of investing simplified. Step No. 1 Know why you want to invest This is very important as it will help you create short and long term investment goals and it will guide you on whether to take high or low risk investments. Investing for retirement and investing for short term gains is not the same thing. Determine your reasons for investing and this will guide you and your Financial Advisor on how to proceed. This will also give you motivation and clarity about the decision to make. Step No. 2- Learn the basics of how to invest. Even though you may use a professional Financial Advisor, you have to learn the basics of what are stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate are, what their risks and returns are and additional information as to what are the tax implications of your investments. You can learn this by reading books, attending seminars, asking questions, doing research on the internet, taking simple evening courses and joining investment clubs. In addition to this, you must learn about the power of compound interest. Your education should take you to the level whereby when the evening news is being read on television you can understand all the news from the business section of the programme. Step No. 3 Pay off your high interest debts. The first step in learning how to invest is getting rid of any high interest debts that you currently have such as credit card debts. It does not make sense to invest, when you still have so much debt. In addition it is also recommended that you adjust your lifestyle and spending habits to enable you to save more. That US$ 15 snack per day can translate into US$ 5475 per annum that you have saved and if it is invested at - 40 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed compound interest rate of 20% per annum it becomes US$ 9460 extra money for you in the bank or in your retirement fund after three years. What happened here? You simply adjusted your lifestyle in order to invest into your retirement fund. Step No. 4 Set investment goals. Everything that is serious and long term needs a plan. If you fail to plan that means that you are planning to fail. It is therefore mandatory to make an investment plan. Do not be too detailed as you can change it as you go along. In your investment plan you should be able to answer some of the following questions. What are my short and long term financial goals? What is my investing time horizon? What type of investments will I make stock, bonds, mutual funds, real estate? How much money do I need to reach my goals? Will I need to live of my investments in the future? Step No. 5. Start investing and continue learning and growing in this area. Once you have set up your plans and have some basic knowledge about investments, just start the journey. Do not procrastinate any more. Make some initial small investments, continue to read a book every month to learn more about investments and even how to make more money to invest. Wealth creation is a journey and there is something new to learn every day. The wealthiest people in the world are those who have learned the secret of making their money work for them over the long term through investments.
Kingdom Titbit Begin to read regularly any book you can find on stock market, on real estate, on investing, or on anything that deals with the economy. Become familiar with the terminology of business and money. Learn the language. Subscribe to magazines and newspapers that focus on business and investment. The most obvious are publications such as The Wall Street Journal, but there are dozens of periodicals that are available. Just visit a local news stand and start browsing. Becoming financially literate will mean changing the way you think, and that is a process. The sooner you begin, the better. There are things you can do immediately, however, that will give you relatively quick results. Dr. C. Thomas Anderson in his book Becoming a Millionaire Gods Way Getting Money to You, not from You.

Chapter Six Kingdom Principle No. 6 The Stewardship Factor The Mystery of Giving
Kingdom Keys Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. NIV
It is very important to understand the mystery of giving as far as Kingdom wealth creation is concerned. It is a key that will open the floodgates of Gods blessings and favour. Once a Kingdom Millionaire has created a Kingdom business, aligned it with the principles of the Kingdom of God, and continued to speak and hear from God, he is in a position to obey God in the area of giving. A Kingdom Millionaire has a lifestyle of giving, for him giving is living. Giving is a key that will unlock many doors for a Kingdom Millionaire, however this giving should not be motivated out of the attitude I want to receive so let me give. The attitude behind the giving should be that of love, as simple as that. Loving God and loving your neighbour. The word giving is derived from the verb to give meaning to hand over as a present, to deliver, to make a gift of or to sacrifice. I will focus on giving according to the principles of the Kingdom of God.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed The Almighty God is a Giver. The famous John 3: 16 says that God so loved the world that he GAVE his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. God created us in His Image, therefore since He is a Giver, we are also wired up to be givers that is the bottom line. If we are not givers it is because we either do not understand the principles of giving according to the Bible the infallible Word of God, or we are focused and want to hoard everything on ourselves, or we have given into the lies of the devil to be selfish. In this, chapter I want to review some of the different kinds of giving according to the Kingdom of God. The Tithe According to wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia, the word tithe means, one tenth part of something paid as a (usually) voluntary contribution or as a tax or levy usually to support a religious organization. Today tithes (or tithing) are normally voluntary and paid in cash, cheques or stocks, whereas historically, tithes could be in kind, such as agricultural products. The first biblical record of tithing is found in Genesis 14. Abrams nephew Lot was taken captive in a battle between some kings and their armies. When Abram set out to rescue him, not only was he successful, but he also brought back a large amount of spoils. Let us proceed to search the scriptures further. Genesis 14: 11 20 The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food; then they went away. They also carried off Abrams nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom. One who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eschol and Aner, all of whom were allied with Abram. When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan. During the night, Abram divided his men to attack them and routed them, - 44 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. He recovered all the goods and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people. After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the valley of Shaveh (that is the Kings valley). Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram saying, Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And blessed be God Most High who delivered enemies into your hand. Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything NIV. The principle here is that Abram had the right to retain the spoils after winning the battle, but he gave a tenth to the priest who was a representative of the Most High God as some sort of acknowledgement that God owns it all the earth and the fullness thereof. A Kingdom Millionaire is called into the office of King and Priest - that he is a Priest under the order of Melchizedek. This is an eternal priesthood that was instituted before the levitical priesthood, and that existed even before Jesus Christ and before Abraham. We are priests according to the order of Melchizedek through Jesus Christ. Remember that Jesus Christ was not from the Levi clan. He was from Judah, therefore, the priesthood of Jesus Christ of which we are under is the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 7: 1 - 3 For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the Kings, and blessed him; to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all ; first being by interpretation King of Righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is King of peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. NIV. Psalms 110: 4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: You are a Priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. NIV.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed I am trying to prove that the principle of tithing is older than the Law that was given to Moses, therefore the issue should not be whether we are being legalistic or not. Underlying the tithe was the basic idea that the earth is the Lords and all that is in it (Psalms 24:1). Tithing was an acknowledgement of Gods ownership of everything in the earth. Haggai 2: 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of Hosts. NIV. The first born and the tenth of the flocks and herds, and produce of the soil, were offered to God as being sacred to him. This income dedicated to God was intended to represent all the produce of the land and all property in general. Tithes were a confession and an acknowledgement that the whole land and its possessions belonged to God and that it is He, as the Owner, who gave them to us. The giving or paying of tithes was meant to be an act of joyful worship and not a tiresome burden. Deuteronomy 12:12 And there rejoice before the Lord your God, you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levites from your towns, who have no allotment or inheritance of their own. NIV. Tithing was an expression of thanks to God for his generosity, therefore non payment of tithe amounted to robbing God not of the material things but of the recognition that all material things belong to him and that we are simply stewards. Now several Christians believe that the New Covenant Church is not obliged to tithe. There are several theological debates about this, BUT to simplify this discussion of law versus grace tithing I would like to state that as already mentioned, tithing was simply acknowledging that God owns it all the earth and the fullness thereof - law or no law. He still owns it today as in the days of the Patriarchs Moses and Abraham so I conclude that we need to continue to tithe. - 46 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed The difference is that we will not be tithing animals or agricultural produce especially if we are not leaving in an agrarian community, but we will tithe our money. Should this be 10%? My conclusion is that let 10% be a starting point, however seek the Holy Spirits guidance as to how much to tithe. In this dispensation of grace, many Kingdom Millionaires are tithing upto 50%, 65% and some even 70% of their increase. Yes, this is possible. If you are faithful with a little, God will make you ruler over much. Many of these Kingdom Millionaires were obedient and started with 10% but as they were faithful, God continued to increase the divine ideas He was giving them, their streams of income increased and He blessed the work of their hands and the more they gave in form of tithe and other offerings and blessing others in need, the more they received. What does God promise to give the tither (the person who faithfully tithes)? There are many promises in Gods word for those who tithe faithfully. As we tithe, the Lords response is to open the windows of heaven. Malachi 3: 11 says He pours out for us such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. Tithing activates this great blessing in our lives. God will also rebuke the devourer for our sakes so that the fruit of our ground will not be destroyed and the vine will bear fruit for us in the field. Lastly, when the blessing of God falls upon us, many will notice it. Malachi 3:12 And all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land says the LORD of Hosts. NIV. Sacrificial Giving This is referred to as sacrificial giving because the giver will feel the pinch. It will not be an amount that is proportionate to what they have; it will be a very large amount. Sacrificial giving can be done when one has completed a season of waiting upon the Lord in prayer and fasting and this offering is to provoke the - 47 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed heavens to release a miracle to them. Let us look at biblical examples of people who gave sacrificially. Mark 12: 41 44 - The widows offering. Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. However, a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything all she had to live on. NIV. Another example of sacrificial giving involves the story of the widow of Zarephath in 1st Kings 17: 7 16. The outcome of her sacrificial giving provoked a miracle and she did not starve to death as she had anticipated. Sacrificial giving provokes a supernatural encounter that can transform a persons life and move them forward by divine acceleration. 2 Samuel 24: 25 David built an altar to the Lord there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the Lord answered prayer in behalf of the land, and the plague of Israel was stopped. A sacrificial offering can also provoke God to stop judgement upon a community or nation. Giving to Missionaries Let me just state that I have a lot of respect for missionaries. Missionaries who are out in the field bringing the gospel to diverse groups of people really need the support of the sons of God. This is in direct obedience to the Great Commission. Matthew 28: 18 20 Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven - 48 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. NIV. The spread of the good news of the gospel, otherwise known as evangelism, needs your financial assistance. Missionaries need basic supplies, shelter, and food and evangelism materials. You can start by supporting even one missionary family with their monthly rent or childrens school fees, but you have to be consistent and then progress from there. Just like all the other work of expanding the Kingdom of God, anyone who gives to the work of missionaries will receive a good measure, pressed down and shaken together blessing. It is important to have a burden for the lost souls, for you to appreciate what it means to give to the work of missionaries. Do not just pray for the lost souls in your family. Pray for the lost souls in the nations and give so that these people can have an opportunity to hear the message of salvation and not miss their ticket to heaven. Parental Giving (Spiritual and Natural Parents) There is a special blessing attached to this type of giving. Our spiritual parents include those in the Body of Christ who are mentoring us to grow spiritually. Our natural/biological parents are those who gave birth to us in the natural. God has a special place in his heart for our parents. We too have an undeniable responsibility towards them, especially in the way that we relate with them. The parental blessing is very important and this is seen clearly in the life of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the manner in which they blessed their children. Those blessings followed them into their future generations, even up to the tenth generation.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Ephesians 6: 1 3 Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honour your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. NIV. Malachi 1: 6 A son honours his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honour due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me? says the Lord Almighty. It is you, O Priests, who show contempt for my name. But you ask, How have we shown contempt for your name? NIV. As indicated in the verse above, this is the first commandment attached with a promise that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. It is important to honour your parents even if you do not agree with them. The commandment was not given to us in a conditional form. We are to obey full stop. No negotiation. In addition, it is a good thing to bless your parents (both spiritual and natural) with your wealth and substance, even if they are financially independent. Blessing them in your giving is just showing them that you honour them. My natural/biological father has already gone home to be with the Lord, but my natural/biological mother is alive. Even though she is retired and receives a monthly pension, plus income from her other projects, I still give her some money every month, just to show her that I honour her as my parent. This has brought a lot of blessings into my life and just to confirm this read my testimony below. A few years back I was in a prayer meeting and the Pastor who also had a prophetic anointing upon his life, began to speak by prophesy and he said to me that God was pleased with me with the way that I assist my parents, and that God would give me all the finances I needed to complete many of the projects that I had already began for them. This message was so profound and was a confirmation to me that God really cares about these details in our lives. God
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed provided for me the finances that I needed to do many projects for my parents and He has continued to provide more. Proverbs 20: 20 22 If a man curses his father or mother, his lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness. An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning will not be blessed at the end. Do not say, Ill pay you back for this wrong! Wait for the Lord and he will deliver you. NIV. There are many people who complain about the problems their parents put them through while they were growing up BUT that does not matter. First as a bornagain son of God, we are called to forgive unconditionally and to forget. There are many people whose lives have been cut short because of this issue of dishonouring their parents. Others simply never go above a certain level in life for the same reasons. Several people argue that if they give money to their parents who drink alcohol, they will misuse it. I say, buy them the necessary items and still give them a reasonable amount of money, and pray over the money and God will work out their salvation in due time. You are honouring them by blessing them through your giving, their drinking notwithstanding. Who knows the testimony of your obedience in honouring them might just be their entry point into salvation. I see many Kenyans in Nairobi living comfortable lives in cities while their parents are suffering in the village. This is not good. Our parents have paid a heavy price for us their children to be where we are. Therefore, it is our duty as children to make sure that we look after our parents until they are called home to be with the Lord. This act will cause us to reap many blessings that will even overflow to our grandchildren. We are required to bless our spiritual parents with our wealth and substance as well. Many of them pay the price for us on their knees interceding for us. Many of the challenges we have overcome easily is because of their sincere prayers for the flock. - 51 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Giving to the prophets and pastors Matthew 10:41 Anyone who receives a Prophet because he is a Prophet will receive a Prophets reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous mans reward. NIV. Prophets and pastors are Gods anointed servants sent to be a blessing to us. I am referring to those who have been chosen and sanctified by God and not those who have called themselves, because they see an opportunity to make money by starting a ministry. Let as look at an example in the Bible of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath. 1 Kings 17: 9 16 Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food. So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink? As she was going to get it, he called, And bring me please a piece of bread. As surely as the Lord your God lives, she replied, I dont have any bread only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die. Elijah said to her, Dont be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain on the land. She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah. NIV. This is what I refer to as a Prophetic blessing. Can you imagine what would have happened if this woman did not obey the Prophet of God? God wanted to do - 52 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed something supernatural in her life and he used his Prophet as a vessel. We all need prophetic encounters that can change our lives. One word form God through his Prophet can change your story. Giving to the Prophets of God grants you access into the prophetic unction that they carry that will bring blessings and favour upon your life. These prophetic blessings you cannot put a price tag on them. 2 Chronicles 20:20(b) Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established; believe in his Prophets, so shall ye prosper. KJV Prophetic blessings last forever and they carry a lot of weight in the spiritual realm. Isaiah 44: 26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof. KJV. If you want to provoke blessings upon your life, and break through all those barriers holding down your destiny, start giving to the genuine Prophets of God. Things in your life will abound. Whatever you give will be multiplied and given back to you. Giving to the Poor The Bible (both New and Old Testament) is full of instructions on how to treat the poor. We have been urged not to harden our hearts towards the poor because they will always be among us. We live in a fallen world where people have become selfish and ignored the poor. We should however be reminded that poor people are not the problem but rather the worldly Babylonian systems that have made them poor.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Exodus 23:11 But the seventh year thou shall let it (the land) rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat. KJV. Deuteronomy 15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother. KJV. Deuteronomy 15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land; therefore I command thee saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor and thy needy in thy land. KJV. Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he repay him again. KJV. John 12: 8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. KJV. God loves both the rich and poor. It is Gods will for us who are not poor to be kind and compassionate to the poor by blessing them and empowering them to get out of their situations. I have heard that the best way to help poor people is to first ensure that you are not poor. When you give to the poor, you are giving to him on Gods behalf, that is you are lending to the Lord. And you will get it back multiplied. What is Gods plan for the poor? 1Samuel 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among Princes, and to make them inherit the throne of Glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lords and he has set the world upon them. KJV.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Whom will God use to accomplish this task? You and I therefore our motive to bless the poor is not to gain but should be out of a genuine love and concern for them. When you give to the poor, it will go well with you. Jeremiah 22:16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me? declares the Lord. NIV. The Ministry of blessing the poor has a special prophetic covering and we read this in Psalms 41: 1 2 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive: and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. KJV. When God uses you to bless the poor amongst you, your enemies will never triumph over you. God will stand by his word. In addition, God will preserve your life from sickness and death. Let us take a small diversion and review the life of someone in the Bible who God preserved because he was a blessing to the poor. Job yes you all know his story. He lived in the land of Uz and he was blameless and upright and feared the Lord. He was the greatest man among all the people in the East. However, Job went through a season where God really tested him and he lost everything but not his faith in God and in the end God restored to him double what he originally had. Why was Job a wealthy man.? Let us unlock this mystery by reading Job 29 (please take some time to read the whole chapter). Job 29: 11 17 Whoever heard me spoke well of me, and those who saw me commended me, because I rescued the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to assist him. The man who was dying blessed me; and I made the widows heart sing. I put on righteousness as my clothing; justice was my robe and my turban. I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy; I took up the case of the stranger. I broke the fangs of the wicked and snatched the victims from their teeth. NIV. - 55 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Job is my favourite example of a Kingdom Millionaire. He was a channel of blessing to many people in the community that included the widow, the orphan, the refugee and the poor. He was a servant-leader because he put on righteousness as his clothing. God tested Job, he persevered and God restored him and raised him up again. Just as the promise in the above scripture indicates, God preserved him and kept him alive. From today, make it a point to be a blessing to the poor around you. Your reward for fighting for the cause of the poor is clearly spelled out in the following scriptures: Isaiah 58: 8 - 12 Then shall thy light break forth in the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee and the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward. Then shalt thou call and the Lord will answer; thou shalt cry and He shalt say Here I am, if thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity. And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity and thy darkness be as the noonday. And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones, and thou shalt be like a well watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in. KJV. Psalms 112: 9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honour. NIV.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Principles of sowing and reaping As we continue to look at the mystery of giving, we must review the principles of sowing and reaping so that those of you who have been faithfully sowing and wondering what is happening will stop worrying and enter into Gods rest as you await your season of harvest. The principle of sowing and reaping operates by the natural and spiritual laws of sowing and reaping. The first thing that is required is seed, the tools to dig the ground, the field to dig and the farmer or person sowing the seed. After that, rain is required to water the ground, then a season of waiting, and then a harvest appears. Let us review the whole process. Law No. 1 We will always reap the kind of seed that we plant If you plant maize seeds, your harvest will be maize stalk and cob with other maize seeds. When you sow financial seeds into Gods Kingdom, you reap a financial harvest. When you sow time into Gods Kingdom, you harvest time. Law No. 2 We determine the size of our harvest at the time we are planting our seeds 2nd Corinthians 9: 6, 8, 11 Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. And, God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times; having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. NIV. A farmer who plants more seeds in a larger piece of land or different pieces of land will receive a better harvest than the one who plants few seeds in just one field. We should give beyond our tithe. Let the tithe be the starting point and then progress further from there. Try to give more every year and then every month. The Christians I know that are enjoying true Kingdom wealth tithe more than
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed 10%. Do not just expect monetary gains. Good health, a loving family and peace of mind should be part of the package. Law No. 3 We will always have a harvest Malachi 3: 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. NIV. Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. NIV. It is uncommon for a farmer to experience a crop failure, unless the conditions are extremely adverse. In the case of giving, the success of the harvest is not determined by natural laws but by the Lord himself, who is not a man to lie. God watches over every word to perform it, and since He has promised you will receive a harvest, you indeed will. Law No. 4 You will reap later than you sow Once you start sowing seed, you will receive a harvest and take that seed again and plant and then you receive another harvest and the cycle will continue. There will always be a season of waiting for the seed to die, breakthrough the sand, sprout, grow and produce fruit. Law No. 5 We will always reap more than we planted Matthew 13: 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. NIV. When you sow one kernel of corn, you will reap a stalk with several ears of corn on it possibly two or three and on the ears of corn are about 300 kernels per ear. Therefore, you reap about 900 kernels from that one kernel (seed). This is the law of increased return and it also works with spiritual sowing of financial
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed seed. That is why you are always told; do not eat all your harvest. Sow most of it back. Law No. 6 There is a season of planting and one of harvesting Ecclesiastes 3: 1 2 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot. NIV. Genesis 8: 22 While the earth remaineth seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. KJV. Immediately the seed is sown it has to die in the ground, then break forth out of the ground and sprout and grow and produce a harvest of fruit. The seed will not germinate before its proper time; otherwise the harvest will be lost. Be patient and wait for the correct season to harvest. Law No. 7 Seed can be sown secretly; however the harvest is always seen by many This is my favourite part! You will never fully know the price that a person has paid in sowing a seed. Sometimes they have been faithful, have sown sacrificially have been patient in waiting through prayer and fasting and this can all take years. In the end, we see them when God has exalted them and His Glory is revealed through them. Law No. 8 We are responsible to sow and God is responsible for the harvest Jeremiah 5: 24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. KJV. God will appoint our harvest time. He keeps track of the appointed weeks of our harvest. Continue leaving a life of sowing and the harvests will continue to flow. As you continue to reap/harvest, continue to sow. You reach a point where you
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed experience both sowing and reaping simultaneously. Why? As you are sowing in a new season, you are reaping the harvest of another season. Amos 9:13 Behold the days are coming, says the Lord, when the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the trader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it. KJV. There is no short cut to the laws of sowing and reaping especially with finances in the Kingdom of God. If you have not started, just start now no more procrastination. Why? One day you will get to heaven and Jesus will point out to you a huge warehouse and tell you, my son, that is your harvest storehouse. I always wanted to release this harvest to you, but you were not sowing. How sad this will be. Remember that God is not a magician. He will test you to see your heart and your faithfulness. Your motives for giving will be tested. Over a period of time, you will continue to get divine ideas that will lead to additional streams of income in your life. The summary of what you will see happening is this: You will receive many divine ideas for Kingdom wealth creation. God will give you favour and open doors for you as you take the initiative to work on the divine ideas that He has given you. God will also guide you on the strategy to pursue to turn these ideas into Kingdom wealth. God will continue to bless the work of your hands and prosper your Kingdom projects. I am living proof that this works. Remember that you are making deposits in your spiritual bank account in heaven. What is going on up there will eventually come down. You are in the season of sowing so be patient, and have faith that God will not go against His Word. The season of reaping will soon appear when your clouds are full and it is time for the - 60 www.thekingdommillionaires.com

Kingdom Titbit The most colossal example of this sort of giving is, of course, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Gateses decided to put more than US$ 35 billion into a foundation to address a wide range of global issues, focusing on education in the United States and health care in poor countries, and on creating breakthroughs in deploying vaccines and preventive measure against AIDS, other diseases, and extreme poverty. They have a brilliant staff and fund promising projects and proven partners. Both Bill and Melinda are deeply involved in the foundations work, amazingly knowledgeable about the problems theyre tackling, and intensely committed to making a difference. Bill is in the process of disengaging from Microsoft and soon will join Melinda in devoting himself full-time to their foundation. The Gates Foundation follows a simple formula in investing its massive wealth to make the most of Bill and Melindas determination to reduce inequity: identify problems; find solutions; measure the impact of the work in human terms so people can feel what saving a life means to the families affected; and share the successes and failures so that others learn from your efforts.

The expansion of the Kingdom of God on earth is multi-dimensional, and this includes sustained community and national transformation. God has called the Kingdom Millionaires to use their resources for long term Kingdom assignments. We are to take the Kingdom of God where the kingdom of darkness in entrenched. Once light comes in the darkness disappears. Gods presence and power in a community and nation should be felt outside the walls of the church. Marketplace transformation has become a common phrase amongst Christians in this season. The marketplace is the heart of society; it is broader than the realm of business; it is the context for every kind of social transformation. The word transformation is derived from the verb to transform that means a marked change of something in appearance or character, especially one for the better. Therefore the word marketplace transformation involves the personal, regional
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed and global expansion of Gods Kingdom through His manifest presence, which results in sustained societal transformation. The key word here is sustained. According to the vision that God gave Loren Cunningham of Youth with a Mission and Bill Bright of Campus Crusade in 1975, there are seven strategic mountains of influence that shape the minds of the people of the culture of every nation. The marketplace is the arena in which these influences are displayed. As Gods people capture these strategic mountains, there will be sustained marketplace transformation and the reaping of national harvest. The seven mountains of influence are: 1. Home 2. Church 3. Education 4. Government and Politics 5. Media Electronic and Printed 6. Performing Arts, Entertainment and Sports 7. Commerce Finance, Science and Technology In this season God has been releasing divine revelation to the Body of Christ concerning these seven mountains. They are supposed to guide us on how to carry out the Great Commission of Mathew 28 to disciple nations for God. This commission calls every believer to continue the ministry that Jesus Christ and his followers modeled. The majority of Jesus miracles happened in the marketplace, and most of His parables concerned the marketplace. The Kingdom gospel that Jesus Christ preached and demonstrated is a gospel meant to transform every sphere of society. The true fulfilment of the Great Commission will bring people into a complete experience of the Kingdom of God that includes godly economic systems and forms of government, education anchored in Gods word, families with Jesus at the head and entertainment that portrays God in His variety and excitement, media based on communicating the
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed truth in love, and churches that serve as sending stations for missionaries to all areas of society. This chapter is to assist you the reader to understand how God wants to use you in your mountain or sphere of influence so that you can fulfil your God-given destiny to change the world. This sums up what Jesus Christ preached that once we give priority in seeking first the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness, then all these things (wealth included) will be added unto us. If God can trust us with the task of bringing His presence into all spheres of society, hence bringing sustained marketplace transformation, then the flood gates to receive the wealth of the wicked will be permanently wide open. Hallelujah! Revelations 11: 15 - The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and He will reign for ever and ever. NIV. I have done many interesting things in my life, but for now one of the most important things that I have ever done in the recent past includes participating in the Oakseed Executive Leadership Course that was conducted by Prof. Vincent Anigbogu of the Institute of National Transformation. I participated with the class that was conducted in Kampala, Uganda from November 2008 to April 2009. The Institute of National Transformation has a vision to develop valuegrounded, no-excuse African Leaders that will transform their organizations, communities and nations to greater levels of performance and achievement. I am currently an Alumnus of the Institute and was commissioned to take this message of marketplace transformation to the nations. So this is exactly what I am doing through this book that you are reading. This was one of the courses that opened my eyes to our role as Christians in the marketplace. I was immediately converted and from that time, I have not stopped talking about the Kingdom of God in the marketplace and what it means to be a Marketplace Minister.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Christians in the marketplace are not content to just quietly read their bibles during the lunch break and hand out tracts. They are wondering how much more they can do after church service on Sunday. The desire to no longer separate their spiritual lives from their career and business lives is leading to the growth of this marketplace transformation movement. Ed Silvoso, who, in my opinion, is one of the fathers of this movement of marketplace transformation, puts it this way: This transformation movement is different because it is spiritual without being religious. Even though faith in God is the central tenet, there is no religious flavour to it. In fact, more than in houses of worship, it is primarily taking place in the marketplace. It is revolutionary without being rebellious. It is contagious without being infectious. It is empowering without being overpowering. It is personal while at the same time touching cities and nations. It is both death defying and life-giving, because it is being facilitated by people who are overcoming systemic evil by the blood shed on the cross by the Holy One, people who have exchanged their lives for His life (see Rev: 12:11).5 My general view about this matter is that it is closely tied or linked to the endtime wealth transfer. Like never before, the Kingdom of God is advancing and nations are being impacted and transformed by the power of God. God is raising not just Christian businessmen, but Kingdom businesses which will operate in the power of an end-time anointing and in the awesome strength of prophetic purpose to open up channels of biblically prescribed wealth into the Kingdom so that we may finish the purposes of the Lord. John 4: 34 My food, said Jesus is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. NIV. The marketplace was redeemed after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and it is therefore the role of the Christians in the marketplace to play a key part in advancing the Kingdom of God where darkness is entrenched. This agenda includes prayer, spiritual warfare and practical assignments. Christians need to move into the marketplace and declare as Jesus Christ did that the Kingdom of

Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed God has come into this place and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Christians should no longer be complacent with the manner in which the ungodly worldly/Babylonian systems have become entrenched in the marketplace; they should pray, raise altars to Jehovah - God, strategize and take the necessary action to uproot the kingdom of darkness from the marketplace. When we talk of a Babylonian worldly system, we refer to one with its origins in Babylon whose origins are found in the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1 9). The Tower of Babel was a symbol of something that was built using the strength of man and the systems of man. God had nothing to do with it. These systems are entrenched in the marketplace and in the same manner that God judged Babel, He will judge these systems. In fact this judgement has already begun and this is why we are seeing economic recession in many nations. The worldly Babylonian economic systems are collapsing so that Kingdom of God systems may arise. While many Economists are talking of global recession, God is positioning his sons for a transfer of wealth to move from these Babylonian systems to be managed by his sons who are operating under the mandate and principles of the Kingdom of God. There should be no vacuum. Christian Entrepreneurs should position themselves in every sector in the business mountain and in all the other six mountains. When the judgement of God is complete, there should already be Christians positioned in the relevant leadership positions in the marketplace and begin to transform the society. In order to become a Marketplace Leader who will bring transformation into your community and nation, many people will have to change their thinking patterns. There has to be a paradigm shift from our ideology that evangelism can only be done through the mainstream church and not in the marketplace. There has to be a paradigm shift in the manner in which Christians view wealth, power and influence. There also has to be a paradigm shift in the manner in which Christians view their vocation as secular and not spiritual. Lastly, there has to be a paradigm shift in the relationships between the clergy and the laity.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Romans 12: 1 2 Therefore I urge you, brothers, in view of Gods mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Gods will is his good, pleasing and perfect will. NIV. Jesus Christ said that the Kingdom of God is in us the Christians, we are therefore responsible for advancing this kingdom wherever we live and work. Our homes, communities and workplaces will only be transformed as we affect them with the values of the Kingdom of God. We the Christians have a divine assignment to transform our communities. In these last days, many people will give their lives to Jesus Christ when they see the practical love of the Christians through charitable deeds and actions that impact and transform the community positively. Matthew 5: 13 - 16 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its saltiness, how can it be made salty again. It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven. NIV. The Great Commission that was given to mankind is multi-dimensional. It means the evangelization of individuals, communities and nations. In addition, it includes influencing, affecting and transforming these communities and nations with the values and principles of the Kingdom of God. The message of marketplace transformation is very new and Christians need to take time to hear and learn what God is saying concerning this important topic. Marketplace transformation is not a course that is taught in Bible Colleges; therefore, further research needs to be done to see how it can be incorporated into diverse Christian learning institutions. - 67 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed Currently, in most churches, less than 5% of the people are in the clergy or rather - full time ministry. This usually includes the Pastors, Assistant Pastors, Counsellors and some church workers. The rest, slightly more than 95% of the people attending church are in the marketplace from Monday to Saturday. How can God use them to win souls and expand the Kingdom of God? What are these 95% of the people supposed to do with the spiritual gifts that God has given them? Should they only use these gifts on Sunday in church or are these gifts also applicable in the marketplace? As Christians, we are called to be Kingdomminded and to see the work of the Kingdom of God beyond our local churches. It is clear that the next move of God is already taking place in the marketplace therefore Christians should not be ignorant of what is happening. In his book God @Work Developing Ministers in the Marketplace, Rich Marshall defines what the characteristics of a Marketplace Minister are. He says that the seven signs that distinguish a Marketplace Minister include the following: 1. Signs and wonders 2. Authority 3. Bondage Breakers 4. Wealth transfer 5. Hearing the voice of God 6. Biblical Entrepreneurs 7. Reaching nations6 As Kingdom Millionaires in the marketplace, our involvement should no longer be limited to handing out tracts to our colleagues. We need to understand the principles of the Kingdom of God and use them on a daily basis to bring sustained societal transformation.

Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed 1st Peter 2: 9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

By ensuring that we bring the fullness of the Kingdom of God into the marketplace and then the presence and Glory of God shall come into our spheres of influence.

Kingdom Titbit The role of Apostles in the workplace is so important that I believe they provide the key to two enormously significant gates that must be opened if we are to see the Kingdom of God manifested as it should be. Neither one will be opened apart from the active involvement of workplace Apostles. One is the gate of social transformation, and the other the gate of the great transference of wealth. C. Peter Wagner in his book The Church in the Workplace How Gods People Can Transform Society Page 33.

Seven Secrets of the End-Time Wealth Transfer Revealed Unlocking Financial Mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
Revealed for the first time ever deep mysteries of the Kingdom of God that have been tucked away in the Bible for centuries!
These are mysteries that have taken me years to uncover, and that I am releasing for the first time ever in a 260 page e-book titled Seven Secrets of the End-Time Wealth Transfer Revealed Unlocking Financial Mysteries of the Kingdom of God.

Are you one of those Christians who are wondering how to position yourself in the year 2010 to have a turn-around breakthrough in your personal life, spiritual life and financial life? Do you believe there could be some mysteries in the Bible that you are yet to hear about that can release divine revelation to you that can transform your life? Do you believe that eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the hearts of man the things that God has prepared for those that love him especially in the area of Kingdom wealth creation and the end-time wealth transfer? Do you believe that what you have been hearing about the great end-time wealth transfer in your local church is not a myth and that you can be one of the recipients of this end-time Kingdom wealth? If you have answered yes to the five above-mentioned questions then you have definitely arrived at the right website. For the first time ever, an e-book has been written that will provide to you a proven step-by-step guide to show you how to position yourself to become a recipient of the Biblical end-time wealth transfer. This e-book The Seven Secrets of the End-Time Wealth Transfer Revealed Unlocking Financial Mysteries of the Kingdom of God is a MUST read for you. Why?
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed You will learn first hand the hidden secrets of God that have been tucked away in the Bible for centuries, concerning work, business, money, wealth creation and community transformation.

You will learn what it means to have a financial covenant with God like the one Jacob had. You will learn the mystery of bringing transformation into your communities and your nation. And it gets even better. BUT first read this brief warning. BEWARE! The information provided in this e-book is very controversial for any Christian who has not renewed their mind to think like a King or to be Kingdomminded. If you are not a Kingdom-minded Christian, this book will challenge all your beliefs so stop right there and exit this website! Jesus Christ said that you cannot put new wine into old wineskins.(Luke 5:37). The revelation in this e-book is new wine for Christians who are not Kingdomminded so beware! You will need to pray for God to give you grace to understand the Kingdom principles in this book before you proceed to read. This e-Book is NOT: A prosperity theology teaching. A new doctrine. All the information included in this e-book contains mysteries that are in the Bible that God has been teaching his Saints for years. A get-rich-quick gimmick. A name-it-and-claim-it message.
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed A book for lazy Christians who will not be willing to roll up their sleeves and apply the principles contained there-in. A gospel of the stomach message. However this book will teach you the following: How to understand the profile of a Kingdom Millionaire. How to acquire the Kingdom Millionaires mindset. How to deal with the spirit of mammon. How to deal with the spirit of poverty, How to operate with the giving grace. How to maintain a giving sheet. How to operate as a King and Priest in this millennium in the marketplace. The mystery of stewardship and sowing and reaping. The mystery of the first fruit offering. The mystery of giving to the Nation of Israel. The mystery of the seven mountain prophesy and how they relate to marketplace transformation. Why the tithe is still applicable to us today. How to position yourself to receive divine ideas from God. How to create generational wealth. What parts of the wealth of the wicked has been stored up for Believers and how to obtain this wealth. Before you go any further you must be wondering who I am to tell you these secrets. How qualified am I to tell you these things? Well pause for a while and I will tell you my story. My name is Anne Nekesa Obara and I am a woman after Gods own heart. A few years ago I was an ordinary Christian who did not have any clue about the financial mysteries of the Kingdom of God and the mystery of what it means to - 81 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed be a son of God. I was neck-deep in debt, and I was not even tithing faithfully. I was not thriving in the marketplace or transforming my community and nation. I therefore began to seek God to teach me about how the Kingdom of God functioned. This journey led me to attend many courses, seminars, read many books and to apply the principles that I learnt. The results that I am still experiencing today were nothing short of a miracle. When several of my friends refer to me they say: Anne has been endowed by God with a special grace and gift to present this message of the Kingdom of God in the marketplace with such ease and simplicity. God spoke to me through many prophetic words that He would give me divine wisdom, knowledge and understanding about the principles of the Kingdom of God, that I would share the same with the world, so if you are reading this message, then you are one of the people who will benefit from what God taught me. God also began to give me many divine ideas of business ventures to start. In addition God began to give me favour and many divine connections. I do not want you to make the same mistakes that I made. I have therefore been obedient to God and written this e-book so that you can learn the following things: How to seek first the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. How to seek God to give you wisdom on how to get out of debt. How to seek God to give you a divine idea to create a Kingdom business venture. How to be sure that the work of your hands will be blessed. The secret of the parental blessing. The secret of helping the poor in your community. The secret of increasing your tithe from 10% to even 65%. - 82 www.thekingdommillionaires.com
Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed The secret of some of the wealthiest Christian Entrepreneurs who are no longer working hard BUT rather they are working smart. The secret of the Kingdom Millionaires of the Bible. The secret of why Job in the Bible was very wealthy and why God restored to him double after his challenging experience. The secret of the Joseph-Calling the journey from the Pit to the Palace. The secret of the first fruit offering. What happens when you do not honour your vows that you have made to God? The secret of helping widows and orphans. I have done my research and I can assure you that there is nowhere else where you will get these unique secrets packed in a 260 page e-book at the price that I am offering. Before I go further let me define what a Kingdom Millionaire is. A Kingdom Millionaire is a Christian Entrepreneur who, under the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit, uses his talents, gifts, skills, abilities, education and experiences to innovate and create products and services that are sold to generate profits, that eventually multiply to become wealth that is gradually channelled towards the expansion of the Kingdom of God here on earth This is my commitment to you: I am going to let you in on a TOP SECRET. Yes it is possible for an ordinary Christian to become a Kingdom Millionaire and begin to be a key recipient of the end-time wealth transfer.

Seven Principles of Kingdom Wealth - Revealed You dont have to be a Pastor or an Elder in your church. ALL you need is: To have faith that the Word of God is true. To become obedient and faithfully begin practicing the principles you will be taught in this e-book. To become addicted to the expansion of the Kingdom of God on this earth. I hear you saying this sounds too good to be true! Ask yourself this. Why is this scripture so famous?
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

This scripture is famous because many Christians today still lack balanced knowledge concerning the principles of the Kingdom of God concerning work, money and wealth creation. Many of them believe that wealth is not for us and that we should wait for our mansions when we die and go to heaven. Do not be one of these people being referred to in the book of Hosea. Knowledge has increased on the earth, therefore begin to empower yourself with first hand information about how the Kingdom of God functions in the marketplace. Your life will never be the same again as you: Unlock the mystery of covenanting your life and business with the Most High God. Unlock the mystery of prayer and its importance in the end-time wealth transfer agenda. Unlock the mystery of how to locate your Garden of Eden. Unlock the mystery of the power of Kingdom Alignment.
