Prepare For Increased Blessing
One Saturday night in early 2004, I woke up with a sense that God wanted to talk to me. “Lord, speak to me,” I responded. I began to speak in tongues for a while and then I interpreted the tongues. I heard the Lord say to me, “The year 2004 will be a year of more, a thousand times more, in every area of your life.”
The Lord instructed me to prepare our church to receive His thousand-fold blessing. The result has been amazing and I give God all the glory for it. My church has seen miraculous increase in many areas. We began hearing testimonies from people who were experiencing supernatural debt cancellations, from people who had won brand new apartments through supermarket draws and from people who were given much larger salaries when they changed jobs. And there were physical miracles as well, including the healing of complete deafness in one ear and the healing of a spinal injury caused by a car accident. In fact, there are just too many to list here.
The message in this book is what the Lord told me to teach my church. Today, I believe this message is for the whole church, the body of Christ. It’s not just a message for my church. What I’m going to share with you is directly from the Lord, so it’s a fresh message, like the smell of freshly baked bread, like the smell of fresh rain. And like bread and rain, it will satisfy your hunger and quench your thirst.
By the way, I believe that when God promised our church one thousand times more, He did not mean one thousand more wives! When it comes to people, it’s quality, not necessarily quantity that counts. So God wants to bless you a thousand times more. He wants to bless your family, your business, your career, your relationships, your health and your church. He wants to enhance your life one thousand times more. He wants you to be plentiful and abundant. Only He can give you a life that is worth living!
All those who accept and believe this message will be ushered effortlessly into one-thousand-times-more blessing, into prosperity with a purpose. And it won’t happen by might nor by power, but by God’s Spirit alone.
Are you ready for more, even a thousand times more? If so, God wants you to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these blessings shall be added unto you. But don’t mix up His righteousness with your own righteousness. He wants you to seek His righteousness — He wants you to walk in the gift of righteousness that Jesus died to purchase for you. Romans 5:17 says that “ those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ” .
God wants you to seek His kingdom and His righteousness because a life in which you are on the throne is truly a miserable life! God loves you too much to let you live like that. He knows that only with Jesus in the centre of your life will you be fulfilled and safe. God wants us to stop focusing on ourselves and to start concentrating on Jesus. When we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, God says in Matthew 6:33 that “ all these things shall be added to you” . In other words, seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and God promises that He will take care of the rest. Then, we will experience a fulfilled life.
That, my friend, is a life worth living!

Learn From The Mistakes The Bible Characters Made
I n my role as a pastor, I have met so many people who share with me their pain and hardships. Too many lives have been riddled with trouble, mostly self-inflicted. I have counselled so many people during my two decades in the ministry. Some choose to follow my advice, others don’t.
The Bible is full of truths showing us how to live rewarding and prosperous lives. Yet, so many people choose not to follow biblical blueprints for their lives. Instead, they choose to follow their fantasies and pleasures. They give
