SERMON SUMMARY – SUNDAY MARCH 8 2020: ESTABLISHMENT PART 4

SUNDAY MARCH 8 2020: CONSOLIDATE.ESTABLISH.GROW PART 3

Reason for the establishment of your career, marriage or business by God
1. Establishment is the starting point of geometric growth. It is the inauguration of geometric growth.

1 Chr 14:1-2
1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 So David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.

Moses, David, Joseph and all the patriarchs went through the different dimensions that led to their establishment (submission, suffering, service) to prepare them before their destinies could be fulfilled. It was after all the experiences and tests by God for them had been satisfactorily satisfied that their journey to geometric growth started in the form of establishment.

After King Hiram sent the skilled artisans (masons and carpenters), by today’s standard – the engineers, the architects, then the raw materials – Cedar trees, that David perceived what God was beginning to do in him.
Establishment is not a bus stop but a starting point and a means to an end and confirmation of the great things and miracles that God wants to wrought.

1. 2. When this process starts, God will raise men, women, kings and queens in their spheres of influence to begin to favor you and bring the might of their skills, their resources to be a blessing to you and to help you become established
   From our text in 1 Chr 14:1 we can deduce that
   1.  Hiram, was the king of Tyre – a dominant figure among the kings of the world.
   2. Tyre is the headquarters of Babylon
   3.  Babylon, was the centre of world commerce

King Hiram felt a divine need to support what God was about to do in David’s life. He sent all the resources that David needed to build him a house and fulfill God’s promise of establishing the house of David forever. When God raises people to help you, they will come with all that they have at their disposal in order to bless and set you to the height that God has programmed you to get to.

Definitions of Establishment
To Establish:
a. To form, fashion: to produce something new, with the implication of using existing materials.

Ps 119: 73
Your hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
Ps 65:6 who established the mountains by his strength, being clothed with power;

Ps 93:1-2
1 the Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
The Lord is clothed, He has girded himself with strength.
Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne is established from of old;
You are from everlasting.

God uses His glory, strength and majesty to give noble ideas to His children to enable them to birth new ideas and businesses using existing materials at their disposal.

There is no limit to the wonders that God can perform if the believer will allow God to be the architect and builder of their homes, businesses, career and marriage. With God as the architect and builder of any endeavor, new products and new businesses will be inaugurated and birthed out of the present efforts without any miscarriage or loss.

To establish
b. To secure, sustain: to authenticate something as valid and having legitimate authority, with a focus on the durability and lastingness of the situation!

2 sam 7:16-17
God establishing his covenant with David
16 and your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

Establishment if carried out by God is durable and sustainable. Parents are encouraged to teach their children and instill in them the right values so that they do not become spoilt but trained enough to be able to sustain wealth and the family’s legacy after the demise of the owners of the business. A child can inherit his father’s shoes but must grow his own feet to fit in so that the shoe does not destroy the legs or the legs destroy the shoes.

God transferred Laban’s wealth to Jacob after Jacob passed the test of submission, service and suffering by using the transference of wealth, trough “wealth transfer technology” – Genesis 31. God performed this miracle without Jacob having to steal or to dubiously obtain what belonged to his master. God is capable of revealing the hidden and deep secret that has the ability to change the narrative of a man.

Employees are not to steal from their employers. God detests such and will punish all acts of unfaithfulness. Believers are to trust God and ask for a revelation on how to lawfully harness wealth through Christ’s special wealth transfer technology as He did for Jacob when he was with his master Laban.

3. God wants to establish you as king over your spheres of influence – because you are a royal priesthood.

1 Chr 14:2
… so David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel…
1 pet 2:9-10
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

God puts His children in strategic top positions so that they can represent Him on that mountain. God wants to establish you like a king over your marketplace and sphere of influence if you will be ready to obey and declare Him as king so that those who are in darkness will come to the realization of the supremacy and authority of God.

Are you ready to be God’s ambassador in your sphere of influence?
