Dreams

  1. In the bible God spoke in the following ways:
  1. Prophecies
  2. Sent angels
  3. Dreams

There are three types of dreams:

  1. Dreams from God

If a dream is from God it becomes a revelation, e.g  Here God spoke to Joseph “take Jesus and the mother and flee to Egypt because Herod will search the young child to kill him.

  1. Dreams from yourself

If a dream is from yourself it is because of the multitudes of activities you were exposed to during the day (Ecclesiastes 5v3).

  1. Dreams from the devil

If a dream is from the devil it becomes a nightmare (Daniel 4v-5).

 

  1. What to do when you receive a dream
  1. Write it down (Habakuk 2v2).

In many times nothing happen in our life without God to revealed to us, the only thing we always forget.

  1. Look for interpretation

Who interpret your dream? If you don’t understand your dream look for someone to help you with interpretation.

Interpretation of your dream will bring you life or death based on correctness of the interpretation.

  1. Pray about your dream

If its about death, accident, seeing dead people, people are chasing you, eating in the dream and wake up feeling it’s real, snakes chasing you, sick, flying, sleeping with someone in the dream.

  • You are here in Cape Town but you see yourself where you grew up.
  • Seeing in the dream people shooting you.
  • You dream losing your phone, losing something good.
  • You dream talking and someone who is next to you can hear you literally.
  • Today you dream you are in Cape Town, tomorrow you dream you are in USA, then after you dream you are in Canada, Zim (This is confusion).
  • You dream you have babies in the dream but have none physically.
  • Sleep walker (You dream walking but physically walking).

 

  1.   Watch it and keep on praying about it

1 Peter 5v8

You must always remember your dreams so that when it happens it must not be a surprise to you.

  • Don’t recall when the dream happen and be like “Oh! Oh! Oh! I remember I saw these things. In this case no one will believe if what you are saying is from God.

ABOUT DREAMS

  1. Forgetfulness

It is not good to forget your dreams when you wake up.

It is an attack.

  1. Blankness

Here your dream life is blank, you don’t dream anything (1 Samuel 28v6).

  • You are like a car driving in the night without a light.
  • You are like a celphone without a network.
  • This is a very bad moment because everything happen you as a surprise.
  • You will know how to deal with your enemies in your workplace and every place and thing that involves you through your dreams.
  • If your spouse is cheating on you, God will reveal it to you through a dream.
  • God will show you the secret of your enemies through a dream (Matthew 2: God spoke to Joseph).
  1. Reverse dreams (Opposite).

Isaiah 29v8

In this case you always experience the opposite of what you saw in the dream.

  • If you dream having a lot of money, that day you will be broke.
  • If you dream broke, this means that, that day you will have money.
  1. Lack of interpretation
  2. Nightmares
  • a.) Dreams must not manipulate your thoughts
  • b.) Good dreams will never contradict the bible.
  • c.) You must have peace of mind and confirmation about your dream.
  1. Multitude of businesses

When you go through a lot during the day and are involved in a lot of businesses, this might appear to you again in the dream.

  1. Timing

Sonship Part 1

Author: Pastor John Mulungu

Key Scripture: Galatians 4v6 & 1 Corinthians 4v15-17

1.) DEFINITION OF SONSHIP:

a) Sonship is the relationship of a son to a father.

b) Sonship is the divine covenant of a son to a father

c) A son is a man in relationship with his father

d) A son is someone who is mature in mind and in spirit.

N.B: Sonship is the covenant between a son and a father.

-> Sonship is not a contract that can expire one day. You can break a contract but not a covenant because a covenant is forever.

-> Therefore you can’t change a spiritual father (This relationship is forever), even if you are in America or other places don’t change your spiritual father (1 Corinthians 4v15-17).

-> You can have many Teachers or Mentors but you only have one father.

– Not everyone is your spiritual father

– My son Gershom can go to America but I will remain his father. Not because he changed the country that now he must change the father.

– If he is still alive there is no change.

– Many people as they change countries, areas, they also change fathers.

2.) WHO IS YOUR SPIRITUAL FATHER

The word father means source.

A spiritual father is someone who imparts you with 4 things:

a.) His spirit

b.) His grace

c.) His teaching

d.) His word of prophecy

  • It is not necessarily the one who brought you to Jesus Christ or who baptized. (2Timothy 1v5). Timothy was brought by his mother to Jesus Christ but Paul became hisspiritual father.

NB: Not every Pastor is your spiritual father

  • You are not destined to be in any church.

3.) WHY IN THE CHURCH WE ARE ALL SONS BUT NOT DAUGHTERS?

a.) This is because according to Hebrew culture, in a mixed group of male and female they only

b.) It is because we have all received the Spirit God’s Son Jesus Christ and this Spirit makes us count men not women. All of us we are bothers or brethrens. sons (Galatians 4v1).

4.) DIFFERENT BETWEEN CHILDREN AND SONS

a.) A child is a small baby who doesn’t know his rights yet.

b.) A son someone who is mature and big enough to know his rights.

c.) A child is born but a son is given. A son is a gift for God. You need to reach in the level where

  • God loved the world that He gave His only Son not a child (John 3v16).

5.) YOU DON’T CHOOSE A SPIRITUAL FATHER BY YOURSELF BUT GOD CHOOSES FOR YOU

1 Corinthians 12v18 & Acts 9v10-12 you become a son, I mean when you become a gift and useful in the house of God.

N.B: a.) Paul didn’t choose Ananias as his spiritual father but God chose for him (Acts 9v10-12).

b.) Elisha didn’t choose Elijah as his spiritual father but God chose for him (1 Kings 19v16).

  • We don’t choose a spiritual father because he has money or because of color, tribe or nationality or because he is a big pastor.
  • You didn’t chose your biological parents or the family you are born into, otherwise a lot of people would have chosen to be born into the presidents.

R.M.Q: Sons can do greater works more than their fathers.

E.g: Elisha and Elijah: Elisha doubled the miracles that his spiritual Father Elijah did.

Paul and Ananis: Paul did greater works but you don’t hear any work done by Ananias

Topic: Firstfruit

WHAT FIRSTFRUIT IS NOT?

1.) Contribution offering (Exodus 25v1-8)

Contributions are given to support special projects and programs of the church, for example; Rental contribution, Building fund contribution.

2.) Seed offering (Judges 6v16-20)

The seed is normally given to seal the blessing and the prophetic word spoken over your life.

3.) Thanksgiving offering

Thanksgiving is given to thank God for what He has done for you.

4.) Ordinary Offering

The ordinary offering is what we always give whenever we have services in our churches because according to the word no one should appear before the Lord empty handed.

5.) Tithe (Malachi 3v10)

Tithe is the first 10% of all your income, meaning that it us the 10% taken from all your income before any deduction or expenses. In other words, Tithe is the first 10% of all your gross income not your net income.

Tithe is by God’s recommendation and it is a Commandment from God not a suggestion.

WHAT IS FIRSTFRUIT?

Definition of Firstfruit

1.) The word firstfruit is taken from a Hebrew word “Bikkurim” which means the promise to come. And God is the only One who never and can never break His promise.

2.) Firstfruit means every first thing first given to God, or belongs to God.

Many things happen to us as first

1.) Your first salary that you get after your studies or when you start working in your life is a (firstfruit).

2.) The first salary of the year, that is the salary of January is a (firstfruit).

3.) The first morning hour (Time) is a (firstfruit)

4.) The first harvest is a (firstfruit)

5.) The firstborns of your animals (your flocks) is a (firstfruit)

5.) Jesus as the Firstfruit:

=> He is the first to open the womb of Marry.

=> He is the firstborn from the dead

HOW TO GIVE YOUR FIRSTFRUIT?

1.) Firstfruit offering must be given in the house of God (that is in your local church). It should not be given on the road to the poor people, not to T.V preachers, not where you are not feed spiritually and by the word of God (Exodus 23v19; Exodus 34v26).

2.) Proverbs 3v9: Firstfruit is the increased portion on your salary. For example, if you used to earn R10000 and now they increase your salary to R12000, here the first fruit is R2000 and this you must give during the month you received an increase only, then after that you can use all your salary the way you want but don’t forget to pay your tithe first.

3.) The firstfruit must be given to the priest of a local church, not a leader, not a worship team leader, not an usher, not a deacon but to the PRIEST (Leviticus 2v10)

4.) When you give your firstfruit you must remember to take out your tithe first then give your firstfruit offering (first salary of the year/increased portion of your salary), therefore you need to give both but separately, first your firstfruit and secondly your tithe: 2 Chronicles 31v5

5.) Firstfruit must be accompanied with praise, worship and words (Deuteronomy 26v10). This means that you must speak a word on your firstfruit of what you want and that firstfruit will bring that answer to you.

6.) The first salary of the year is the firstfruit (Nehemiah 10v35).

PART 1: LEVITICUS 23V4-44)

7 THE FEAST OF THE LORD IN ISRAEL

1.)  The feast of PASSOVER (Leviticus 23v4-5)

2.)  The feast of UNLEAVENED BREAD (Leviticus 23v8)

3.)  The feast of the FIRSTFRUIT (Leviticus 23v9-14)

4.)  The feast of PENTECOST (Leviticus 23v15-22)

5.)  The feast of TRUMPETS (Leviticus 23v23-25)

6.)  The feast of ATONMENT (Leviticus 23v26-32)

7.)  The feast of TEBERNACLES (Leviticus 23v33-44)

There are 3 major feasts which are; the feast of Passover, the feast of Pentecost and the feast of Tabernacles.

When the children of Israel entered into the promise land they were commanded to keep this feast day (first fruit).

NB: The feast of first fruit was celebrated 4 time in a year. This means that it was celebrated repeatedly during the feast of Passover, the feast of First fruit, the feast of Pentecost and during the feast of Tabernacles.

PAERT 2: Exodus 13v12 & 1 kings 17v12

WHY ONLY ISRAEL WAS REQUIRED TO GIVE FIRSTFRUIT

1.)  This is because Israel was a set apart nation, not like any other nation

Therefore God is asking you to give your first fruit because you are set apart, you are His people.

The economy of this world can not disturb you because you are living according to God’s plan.

There are two kinds of people who cannot give first fruit offering

a)     The unbeliever

They have a lack of knowledge and understanding. He may perceive as if he is being robbed.

b)     The spiritual babies

They have a lack of maturity.

E.g.: Look at how Abraham stopped his servants in the bottom of the mountain saying to them stay here, I and Isaac will go up to the mountain of the Lord, worship and come back again.

·        Why Abraham did stopped them? He stopped them because he wanted to give his first fruit (Isaac).

·        The servants could have stopped him.

·        The servants could call Abraham a killer.

NB: First fruit is not for everyone, it is only for the matured people and it is between you and God.

2.)  It is because God knew that Israel will have first fruit.

God can’t ask you to give something you don’t have

ð God knows that you are working and that you are doing a business.

NB: That is why God didn’t ask Israel to give first fruit when they were wondering in the wilderness and eating manna

NB: Why people don’t give first fruit? It is because of fear. But to overcome this you need to save, starting from February and when the time to give first fruit comes you will not be afraid.

In 1 Corinthians 16v2 the bible recommends us to save for the future.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE FIRST FRUIT

1.)  God will destroy your enemies (Jeremiah 2v3)

He will kill them before you.

He will protect you

He will fight for you

2.)  God will bless you financially (Proverbs 3v10, Ezekiel 44v30)

3.)  God will make a difference between you and other people (Mark 16v7)

4.)  God will bring restoration upon your life (1 Kings 17v12)
