Notes
from
Pastor Tunde Amosun
If you are an albino in Tanzania your
life is likely to be at risk from
enemies more deadly than the rays
of the sun, an ever-present foe.
According to reports, the sexual
organs of male and female albinos
are particularly sought because it is
believed they can effect miracle
cures or offer mystical powers. African Press International - api
Since last month, there have been
reports from that country about
weird incidents of witchcraft and
devil worship rituals involving
human body parts
Videos and films from Nigeria that
tout the efficacy of witchcraft are
widely to blame for the current crisis
in Tanzania. African Press International - api
Dr Tunde Adegbola Salt & LightGenesis 1:27-2827 So God created man in His own image; in
the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Use my faith for cars & houses or I can use it to change the world
We have considered it to be power, control
& authority but there are 2 important
dimensions to Dominion
1.Authority – capacity to determine what
happens after you must have ….
2. Responsibility or the ability to respond
Response to that which you have determined.
Able or appropriate response.
You don’t need knowledge to exercise
authority but its not possible to exercise
responsibility without knowledge.
Multiplication should be based on fruitfulness + Replenish is French [plen] for fill or maintenance.
Over and over again to maintain the balance on the earth its our responsibility.
Subdue is taking dominion God puts confidence in us to take this
dominion over the earth.Thank God He has promised us to give us
wisdom and knowledge + skill through training to have dominion.
Its this responsibility that drives us to be educated.
The Epistle of Paul the apostle to Titus or Tunde or Nwosu or Usman5 For this reason I left you in
Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you—

ORDER
All Nigeria needs is infrastructure & discipline but no discipline or infrastructure without visionIgnorance of effective organization
and management even in a church with Vision and Purpose usually leads to a waste of valuable resources.Zeal without Skill is being active but
not progressive which lead to waste.
In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth. 2The earth
was without form, and void; and
darkness was on the face of the
deep. And the Spirit of God was
hovering over the face of the
waters. 3Then God said, “Let there
be light”; and there was light.
*1, Verse 2, It was without FORM, No
FORMAT or Out of FORMAL ORDER
[Hebrew] or DISORDER.
*2, Verse 2, It was VOID an old English
word which means CONFUSED or EMPTY
of PURPOSE, DEVOID of MEANING or
OUT OF ORDER.
*3, darkness WHICH MEANS No
ILLUMINATION or IGNORANT not only
the absence of light.
It can also mean ABSENCE of KNOWLEDGE, LACK of UNDERSTANDING, CONFUSION, and MISUNDERSTANDING
DISORDER: means everything is present but in the wrong location
> Leads to CONFUSION > Leads to DARKNESS
for example, someone rearranges your House, moves bedroom to kitchen and so on – This confuses you.
10 For there are many insubordinate,
both idle talkers and deceivers,
especially those of the
circumcision,
11 whose mouths must be stopped,
who subvert whole households,
teaching things which they ought not,
for the sake of dishonest gain.• The Holy Bible, New King James Version, (Nashville, Tennessee: Thomas Nelson, Inc.) 1982.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans [NIGERIANS] are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”13 This testimony is true.
Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
• The Holy Bible, New King James Version, (Nashville, Tennessee: Thomas Nelson, Inc.) 1982.
15 To the pure all things are pure,
but to those who are defiled and
unbelieving nothing is pure; but
even their mind and conscience are
defiled.
16 They profess to know God, but
in works they deny Him, being
abominable, disobedient, and
disqualified for every good work.

God brought me back
Everyone calls upon God here
To deny or swear
To promise etc
13 looking for the blessed hope
and glorious appearing of our
great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14 who gave Himself for us, that
He might redeem us from every
lawless deed and purify for
Himself His own special people,
zealous for good works.• The Holy Bible, New King James Version, (Nashville, Tennessee: Thomas Nelson, Inc.) 1982.
Zealous for good works.
Zeal or passion for good
works
Concerned and burdened
to engage in good works.
8 This is a faithful saying, and
these things I want you to affirm
constantly, that those who have
believed in God should be careful
to maintain good works.
These things are good and
profitable to men.
36 At Joppa there was a certain
disciple named Tabitha, which is
translated Dorcas. This woman was
full of good works and charitable
deeds which she did.
37 But it happened in those days that
she became sick and died. When they
had washed her, they laid her in an
upper room.
38 And since Lydda was near Joppa,
and the disciples had heard that Peter
was there, they sent two men to him,
imploring him not to delay in coming
to them.
39 Then Peter arose and went with
them. When he had come, they
brought him to the upper room.
And all the widows stood by him
weeping, showing the tunics and
garments which Dorcas had made
while she was with them.
40 But Peter put them all out, and
knelt down and prayed. And turning
to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.”
And she opened her eyes, and when
she saw Peter she sat up.
41 Then he gave her his hand and
lifted her up; and when he had called
the saints and widows, he presented
her alive..
42 And it became known throughout
all Joppa, and many believed on the
Lord.
43 So it was that he stayed many days
in Joppa with Simon, a tanner
If you died today
what will people
show to God and
his servants to
bring you back!
Matthew 5:16
16 “Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good
works and glorify your Father in
heaven.
Notice
Light,
Shine
Luke 11:33
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp,
puts it in a secret place or under a
basket, but on a lampstand, that
those who come in may see the light.
No one includes God
What does it mean to light
Secret Place
Basket or Bushel
Psalm 18:2828 For You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.Proverbs 20:2727 The spirit of a man is the
lamp of the Lord, Searching all the inner depths of his heart.
Arise, shine; 1 For your light has come! And
the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall
cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; Its arise shine not arise and
shine its in arising you shine
But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. 3 The Gentiles shall come to
your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.God will not send from Heaven
what He has provided in earth
Proverbs 5:15 KJV(15) Drink waters out of thine own cistern,
and running waters out of thine own well.God will not work for you in reverseEach of us is either a Well or Cistern?
What's the differenceCisterns have to be filled by an outside
source like tanks on the other hand Wells have their own source
If all we do is fill the cisterns we will never reach the city because we will just be trying to keep the saints full
John 4:13-14 KJV
(13) Jesus answered and said unto
her, Whosoever drinketh of this water
shall thirst again: (14) But whosoever
drinketh of the water that I shall
give him shall never thirst; but the
water that I shall give him shall be
in him a well of water springing up
into everlasting life.
Have we become so heavenly conscious and no earthly good?
Have we become so earthly conscious that we are not heavenly good?
What is missing either way?God wants His government over all of
your life, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Its only when His kingdom comes that His will be done!
Most people believe they should
achieve wealth primarily for their own
material comfort or that of their families.
This is far too narrow a view. God does
want each of us to be rich in every
possible way – health, love, and peace
of mind, as well as material possession.
God wants this, however, not just for our
own sake, but for the sake of
humankind.
The reason is that an increase in wealth for an individual almost always represents an even larger increase in wealth for society at large. This is especially true in our modern
economy, where the largest individual financial rewards are increasingly reserved for those people making the greatest positive impact on our society.
In our economic world – the world God promised to Abraham in the covenant, a world in which the quantity of our own wealth is directly proportional to the number of people with whom we share the rewards of our increased specialization –the particular ticket may be
different for each of us.
Bill Gates did not go into Microsoft
business to make money he went in
to bring and develop computer
software to make life easier for
many people.
Henry Ford desire was to make cars
available to the average man and
his family. Oprah, Dell, Cadbury,
and Heinz etc the list is endless.
Ken E Hagin says “Real faith accompanies knowledge of the Word of God.”
“It takes no effort what so ever on the part of the intellect or the will of man to obtain faith. Faith accompanies knowledge.”
As soon as the light of knowledge comes, faith is there.
As the psalmist of old said, “the entrance of your word giveth light…..” Psalm 119:130
Because personal finance is 80 percent behavior and 20 percent knowledge, you will either make your life over in the process, or you end up miserable.
I see well rounded, mature people who become all God designed them to be when they get their money closets cleaned out.
God has a plan for your life, and that plan isn’t to harm you; it is a plan for your future to give you hope (Jeremiah, 29; 11).
Success is not a destination thing-it’s a daily thing. The only way to achieve real success is to do it one day at a time.
To be successful, you don’t need to be lucky or rich. But you do need to know this:
You are what you do daily. You first form your habits; then your habits from you.
It is just as easy to form habits of success as it is to form habits of failure.
Successful people have Habits they do everyday that ordinary people do once in a while. -T D Jakes and Paula White
Success – preparation meeting opportunity
