I Kings 3:16-27
(Solomon’s wisdom)
16. “One day two prostitutes came and presented themselves before king Solomon. 17. One of them said, ‘Your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth to a baby boy at home whilst she was there. 18. Two days after my child was born she also gave birth to a baby boy. Only the two of us were there in the house-no one else was present. 19. Then one night she accidentally rolled over on her baby and smothered it. 20. She got up during the night, took my son from my side while I was asleep, and carried him to her bed; then she put the dead child in my bed. 21. The next MORNING, when I woke up and I was going to feed my baby, I saw that it was dead. I looked at it more closely, and saw that it was not my child.’


Ecclesiastes 10:5-7
“5. Here is an injustice I have seen in the world-an injustice caused by rulers. 6. Stupid people are given positions of authority while the rich are ignored. 7. I have seen slaves on horseback while noblemen go on foot like slaves.


John 10:10
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

LOOKING INTO CERTAIN FACTS REFERRING TO THE SCRIPTURE


1 Fact N0: 1: Can a person’s life be exchanged for another?
Yes.

Jesus died in our place =

Matthews 20:28

Comment on the scripture
Jesus was supposed to be served as a king. Many people were supposed to be put to death for mocking and despising Him; Instead He was reduced to a thief and a murderer, and to death at the end. Thank God, He is alive.


Angry scriptures

Prayer: “Lord, all what I did may it fall to those who are wicked; to those who are not doing your will.”

NB
Some prayers may not work for you at the place of work.

“Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you.”

Then you will acknowledge that the Supreme God has power over human kingdoms and that he can give them to anyone he chooses. 33. The words came true immediately.

“You can climb the ladder of success but only to find it is leaning on the wrong wall.” Steven Leof


Identify your land

(Joshua 1:1-7)
“1. After the death of the Lord’s servant Moses, the Lord spoke to Moses’ helper, Joshua son of Nun. 2. He said, ‘ My servant Moses is dead. Get ready now, you and all the people of Israel, and cross the River Jordan into the land that I am giving them. 3. as I told Moses, I have given you and all my people the entire land that you will be marching over. 4. Your borders will reach from the desert in the south to the Lebanon Mountains in the north; from the great River Euphrates in the east, through the Hittite country, to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5. Joshua, no one will be able to defeat you as long as you live. I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will always be with you; I will never abandon you. 6. Be determined and confident, for you will be the leader of these people as they occupy this land which I promised their ancestors. 7. Just be determined, be confident; and make sure that you obey the whole Law that my servant Moses gave you. Do not neglect any part of it and you will succeed wherever you go."


(Numbers 13:2)
“Choose one of the leaders from each of the twelve tribes and send them as spies to explore the land of Canaan which I am giving to the Israelites.”


(Genesis 2:8)
“Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the East and there he put the man he had formed.”


GIANTS IN THE MARKET PLACE (Problems in the Market Place)


The Problems with Christians; they want to take by faith what they need to take by force. Poses your land by conquest.


Numbers 13:28-33
“28. But the people who live there are powerful and their cities are very large and well fortified. Even worse, we saw the descendants of the giants there. 29. Amalekites live in the southern part of the land; Jittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill-country; and Canaanites live by the Mediterranean Sea and along the River Jordan. 30. Caleb silenced the people who were complaining against Moses, and said, ‘We should attack now and take the land; we are strong enough to conquer it.’ 31. But the men who had gone with Caleb said, ‘No, we are not strong enough to attack them; the people there are more powerful than we are.’ 32. So they spread a false report among the Israelites about the land they explored. They said, ‘That land doesn’t even produce enough to feed the people who live there. Everyone we saw was very tall, 33. and we even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. We felt as small as grasshoppers, and that is how we must have looked to them,


“Whatever the land God gives you, its not empty.


POSSESS means” Occupy by driving out previous owners.
Tolerate not celebrated.


You don’t need to be only born but to manifest.
Like: Nelson Mandela, Bill Gates, Ben Rodgers etc.


(God & Money in one platform)

Matthews 6:24
"No one can be a slave of two masters; he will hate one and love the other; he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both and the money"

As I told Moses, I have given you and all my people the entire land that you will be marching over. 4. Your borders will reach Lebanon mountains in the north; from the great river Euphrates in the east, through the Hittite country, to the Mediterranean sea in the west. 5. Joshua, no one will be able to defeat you as long as you live. I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will always be with you; i will never abandon you. 6. Be determined and confident, for you will be the leader of these people as they occupy this land which i promised their ancestors. 7. Just be determined, be confident; and make sure that you obey the whole law that my servant moses gave you. Do not neglact any part of it and you will succeed where ever you go.

Amalekites live in the southern part of the land; Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and Canaanites live by the Mediterreanean sea and along the river Jordan." 30. Caleb silenced the people who were complaining against Moses, and said, "We should attack now and take the land; we are strong enough to conquer it." 31. But the men who had gone with Caleb said, "No, we are not strong enough to attack them; the people there are more powerful than we are." 32. So they spread a false report amongst the Israelites about the land they had explored. They said; that land doesn't even produce enough to feed the peoplewho live there. Everyone we saw was very tall, 33. and we even saw giants there, the descendants Anak. We felt as small as grasshoppers, and that is how must have looked to them."


Deuteronomy 1:8

-Things are happening in alters.
-The battle of life is the battle of alters.


Fight back!

By destroying the alters of satanic exchange that strengthen the hold of the enemy.

“Law of Devine Substitution”


Ecclesiastes 2:26
26. "God gives wisdom, knowledge, and happiness to those who please him, but he make sinners work, earning and saving, so that what they get can be given to those who please him. It is all useless. It is like chasing the wind."


-Sinners must work for nothing, Christians must benefit.
-Sinners have no right to that belong to God.


Sinners Gift is God’s Wroth

Sinners cannot access the inheritance


John 8:44
44. "You are the children of your father, the Devil, and you want to follow your father's desires. From the very beginning he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of all lies."



Romans 8:15&17
15. "For the spirit that God has given does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God's children, and by the Spirit's power we cry out to God, 'Father! my Father!'"

Proverbs 11:8
“Lord those who are righteous are freed and be exchanged by sinners”.
