This is from Prophet Jerome Fernando’s series taught on October 10th.
Part Two is that the Devil tries to get you to destroy the good with the bad.
He uses people and also specifically other Christians. It is not good to focus on the demonic. God’s plan is for you to keep climbing. One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor.
Definition of Prosperity is to protect your welfare. Jerome in the first 45 years has purchased 19 cars. The greatest joy is to be blessed and to be a blessing to others.
Matt 13:24
Sow good seed in your field. The enemy sowed tares in your field. Don’t focus on gathering the tares out of your field or you will root up the good seed. Let both grow up together until the harvest. THEN first gather the tares and bundle them up for burning. Then harvest your wheat and put in the barn.
Jesus sows good seed. The enemy is the children of satan. His trick is to blind you as to which people are good and bad. Sleep means you are unaware. Stay awake, be vigilant, diligent.
The analogy is at the airport you pick up the wrong suitcase. What a lot of hassle to straighten it out. John 10:10 indicates steal, kill, and destroy. By planting the wrong people satan destroys.
Be in airport mode. Focused - Concentrate on the tasks at hand. Prosperity comes to those that stay awake. Not just to the man that works. Most servants are not even aware of bad people until it grows and becomes visible. Don’t fall in love with people too quickly. Also, some people that intially appear bad may grow into good people in your life. Give people time.(let them grow with the wheat).
Parents- Let the kids grow together. Give it time. Let things be. Don’t interfere and mess things up too quickly. Let them learn.
There is wrong seed in eveyone’s life. Even wrong seed in Churchgoers.
Whose fault is it that tares were planted? Sometimes it’s not your fault. Don’t lose your joy over it.
2 Timothy 4:10 People fall away. Don’t be overcontrolling. Someone will always let you down. Keep your joy. If you want to have a free Spirit, then you have to leave the bad with the good.
Good and bad need to be left alone. Protect the good rather than dealing with the bad. Celebrate the Luke’s in your life.
Ecclesiatiies 4:12 Three cords are tight. Get two other good cords.
