# 54 Arise and occupy by senior pastor Hugh Sibuyi

Shammah Urban Church

Arise and occupy part 1 The body of Christ should never have a bad attitude towards money. 5 principles of wealth transfer. 1. Knowledge * God prefers that His people be knowledgeable * It is not right for us to be poor because we lacked knowledge. * Where knowledge is lacking, darkness prevails. There need to be illumination that is brought by knowledge 2. A higher level of tolerance * A power of an organisation to withstand unfavourable environments and We need to have a high tolerance of those who differ from us. Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. * Your high level of intolerance is partly responsible for your wealth and influence. * The key to our next level of wealth is intolerance and creating friendships with those out of our Christian friendship. * Learn other peoples cultures because you will easily have friendships. * Not everything in the kingdom will be accomplished by Christians or the church. God has earmarked some pagans for this cause, who have capacity. 3. Capacity We need to grow our capacity, What is capacity? * Capacity is ability to perform the maximum production possible * Capacity is developed privately where no one sees you . * The more vessels we have the more capacity you have 2 Kings 4:3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 2 Kings 4:4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 2 Kings 4:6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
