Genesis 4: 6-8

⁶Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? ⁷If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

⁸Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

· It is amazing how we go through life with so much favour from God and some men can’t live with it. Adam and Eve had been blessed with two sons and the prophetic offering was required by God from them.

The scripture tells us that in the process of time Cain and Abel brought an offering, and God accepted the offering of Abel, and that of Cain was rejected.

You would wonder what these offerings meant to God. The cattle upon a thousand hills belongs to him, God can kill and make alive, there is no searching of His understanding, but this time, these offerings were outstanding.

As we recognize it as the “prophetic offering”, the giving from a cheerful heart to God.

The proclamation that God is our source.

· This was lacking in Cain’s offering, he did not give God his best from a cheerful heart. Cain could not manage the immense favour on his brother’s life, he became bitter and eventually killed Abel.

Abel should not have died. He should be protected; he should be properly guided as he is the representation of God’s mercy to this family. All he needed was knowledge and how to remain protected from the unknown.

HOW DO WE OVERCOME THE ENEMY OF THE HOUSEHOLD?

· Praying in the Holy Ghost

1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth [him]; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.(KJV)

Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, (KJV,Amp )

Further reading: 1 Corinthians 14:14, Acts 2:4, Jude 1:3

Breakthrough is sustained by knowledge. 2 Corinthians 2:11, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

MERCY AND GRACE

God's mercy is His tenderhearted, loving compassion for his people. It is His tenderness of heart toward the needy. Matthew 9:28-29 • Your rightful position can never be yours unless you out grow your childhood. Only sons can ascend the thrones. Thrones are for sons not for children. Hearing God’s voice is not a gift, but a birthright. Romans 9:15-16 Grace positions you, mercy approves you. What you don’t need, God cannot supply. He will only supply all your needs according to His riches in glory. STEPS TO STAYING UNDER MERCY AND GRACE 1. The Communion Matthew 26:26-29 There is a difference between mysteries and stories. Only the sons of God can access mysteries. Do not mistake stories for mysteries, stories are lifeless, but mysteries are things that are tangible, revealed by the Holy Spirit and can be applied to real life. 2. Seek God in Prayers Prayer draws the hand of God in a situation. It is the link that connects man to the throne-room of God. If you want to know the will of God in any situation, you must pray, you must ask Him. Jeremiah 33:3 A vision that is not proved is not a vision to be pursued. A word that is not tested is not a word to be relied upon. There is a part God has prepared for everyone born of Him. He forbids anyone turning from His path either to the right or left. 3. Spiritual Sensitivity An 8 years old child who is declared King only carries the title. He cannot make a decision. You can only enter the place God has for you when you outgrow childhood to son-ship. The key to success is: “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.”(KJV)John 5:30 Isaiah 30:21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.(KJV) Further Study: Matthew 15:22-28

FINANCIAL PROSPERITY

The covenant of prosperity lies on the instructions of seed time and harvest. What prospers is your seed, when there is no seed, there is no prosperity. 1 Kings 17:7-14, There are things we do because we consider them convenient, but there are other things we do because we see them as commandment. There are people who have attained what you are trying to obtain, God puts them ahead of you to help you take the most appropriate step in your life. What you give determines what you get, what you think determines what you take. You cannot think poor and mistakenly become rich. “For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Prosperity is impossible without sowing seeds. No matter how much you have, once you’re not a seed sower, you cannot escape poverty. Your giving does not enrich God, it enriches you. As a citizen of the kingdom of God, the prophetic giving is our civic responsibility. 3 STEPS TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL PROSPERITY  Giving to the Prophet. Mark 6:35-44 It takes spiritual impact to engage material returns. Publicity is not what grows the business, it only creates awareness, but spiritual impact is what brings transformation. Romans 1:11. When prophetic giving becomes your practice, life will give you its best. If you want financial miracle, hear what the word of God is saying. (Luke 8:1-3 )  Exceeding grace (The power of Administration) The strength of any business is largely dependent on the efficiency of his organisational structure. It takes more than “luck” to succeed in business. Where good administration is lacking, good result will also be lacking 1 Kings 17:16. Administration is putting things in their respective places in other to achieve an ultimate goal.1 Corinthians 3:10-15, 2 Kings 4:1-7.
