But thou shalt 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. Deuteronomy 8:18

 

Financial fortune from the scriptures is a function of the rain of divine favor and the rain of divine ideas through the works of our hands. 

Example:

  • Abraham became very rich in cattle, silver and gold Genesis 13:2
  • God gave a divine idea to Jacob and that delivered him from slavery in Laban's house Genesis 30:37-43
  • Through the strange works of God, God's favor made a distinction for Israel even in Egypt. Genesis 47:13-27 
  • Job received double his blessings when God intervene in his case Job 42:10-13

From the beginning, dominion was His plan for us Genesis 1:28 but satan stole this position from us. God had to return us to our position through His Son Jesus Christ, ensuring our dominion and authority over sickness, disease, strife, poverty, lack and anything else under the curse.

To walk in financial dominon you must understand the covenant, walk in obedience to God’s Word concerning finances, and resist any attempt to knock you out of position, you will know how to take your financial fortune once and for all.

 

  • Receive Financial Fortune Through Understanding the Covenant

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. –Psalm 89:34, KJV

To take financial dominion, we first must understand the covenant that provides for it. We must understand the covenant is more than just a promise but a sealed and irrevocable agreement between man and God.

God first established it with Abraham. He promised to make Abraham the father of many nations and give him a great deal of land as an inheritance, and much more Deuteronomy 28. To make sure Abraham knew this was absolute and unbreakable, God made a covenant with him. In Galatians 3:13-14, Christ died to redeem us from the curse, “that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise. God sealed His covenant with us through the blood of His Son. That agreement is binding and forever.

A covenant is “a deal enacted by God, based on well-defined terms and sealed with an oath.” When we read the Bible, we see that it is a book of covenants that allows us to access everything we need, including prosperity and financial dominion.

Bishop David Oyedepo

  • Receive Financial Fortune Through Honoring the Tithe

“Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.” –Proverbs 3:9-10

The book of Proverbs gives us a very basic principle of success. That is: If you want God to honor you and bless you in any area of your life, you’re going to have to honor Him in that particular area.

If you want God to bless you financially, you first need to honor Him with your money, or as this verse puts it, “with the firstfruits of all your increase.” In other words, you need to tithe. The word tithe means “tenth,” which means to give 10 percent of your gross income to the Lord.

God considers the tithe crucial to your financial success (Malachi 3:10-11). That’s why the devil has fed the Body of Christ so many lies regarding the tithe. He doesn’t want us to ever have what rightfully belongs to us which is THE BLESSING.

 Any believer who is not a tither will remain a financial struggler 

Bishop David Oyedepo.

 

  • Receive Financial Fortune Through Becoming a Giver

“May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.” –Psalm 20:3

Giving is bringing an offering that is beyond the tithe. It is a freewill gift to a person or organization. It can be in the form of money, clothing, food or almost anything else God prompts you to give. In God’s system, this is how you increase. It is sowing seed for a harvest. The covenant we have with God is one of financial prosperity or financial dominion. It is God’s instrument to keep us from financial struggles, and it overrides any economic circumstance. Our giving is the gateway to financial dominion and all-around favorThe greater our giving, the greater our access to financial increase.

 What are the different types of giving?

  • Kingdom-promotion giving is an offering directly given to a preacher, teacher or ministry to further the kingdom of God. This type of seed is not a financial donation to ‘help’ God, the church or the ministry. 
  • Worship offerings are another type of giving. The scriptures tell us to never go into God’s presence empty-handed Deuteronomy 16:16. Why? Because God takes notice of every offering we bring when we are in worship. It is a form of honoring Him and giving Him complete trust with our provision and prosperity.
  • Giving to the poor is just that—offering your own substance to help those in need around you. It can be someone you know or an organization that offers help and support to those who are struggling Proverbs 19:17.

 Kingdom Promotion giving is a spiritual transaction that provokes the release of finances

Bishop David Oyedepo.

 

  • Receive Financial Fortune Through Defeating Satan’s Attacks

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”  James 4:7

We talk often about resisting the devil, but it isn’t enough to simply know that he is a defeated foe, we must learn how to act on that truth. An important part of walking in financial fortune is knowing how to defeat Satan’s attacks. He has no intention of allowing you to prosper and advance the Kingdom. So, when you start walking toward financial freedom, you’ll have a fight on your hands. There is good news, because of Jesus you are guranteed a winnner. All you have to do is believe it.

How do we resist the devil? You resist him with the words of your mouth. Keep in mind, you also submit to him with your words, so watch what you say! Refuse to give thought to anything the devil throws your way. Have bulldog faith, and keep the Word of God in your eyes, ears and mouth no matter what.

Finally, count it all joy when Satan tries to attack James 1:2-4. That seems a bit outside our natural ability, doesn’t it? That’s OK, because we have supernatural help to do so. When you trust in God’s covenant to provide whatever you need—you will be blessed.

 

  • Receive Financial Fortune Through Standing in Faith

“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”  Ephesians 6:13

You might be reading these points and thinking, I’ve done all of this. I do believe in the covenant. I tithe, I give and I speak words of faith. Why am I still struggling in my finances?

If that’s where you are, there is one thing left to do. Stand. How long do you stand? As long as it takes! Don’t attempt to go after financial dominion without first making the quality decision to keep applying your faith until you see the desired result.

Hebrews 10:39  says that we can’t be someone who draws back. We have to stand firm in our faith—we can’t move in fear one day and back to faith another. That isn’t steady—it’s double-minded—and it won’t win the battle. We need the full armor of God to stand against the strategies of Satan. Additionally, don’t underestimate the power of agreement in finances—so be sure to surround yourself with people who know how to stand in faith.

Then, don’t neglect to use the power of patience. You need patience to receive the promise of financial dominion Hebrews 10:36

What can patience do?

“Patience is the quality that does not surrender to circumstances or succumb under trial: it is the opposite of despondency and is associated with hope.” In other words, patience will strengthen and hold up your faith until your results manifest.

Remember, patience isn’t trying—it’s committing.

In conclusion, when you get a revelation of the covenant God has made with you, honour God with your tithing and giving, resist the devil, and take your stand, you will take the financial fortune that has always belonged to you. As you walk out the covenant of provision you have with Almighty God, expect an encounter with your covenant. The covenant has never failed, and it won’t fail for you. As you do your part by engaging the covenant in your life, every financial stress will be terminated in Jesus’ Name.

Everyone is admonished to come with at least one new soul in addition to their new converts and other invitees.

Come expecting divine visitation via His word and Prophetic blessings.

Jesus is Lord!!!
