The children of prosperity

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present here in Araucaria, Brazil. It is a great blessing for me to be with you on this occasion, because to be with you is to be with the CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY.

We read in Second Chronicles, chapter 20, verse 20, where it says:

“And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.”

Thus said King Jehoshaphat to the people, to Judah, to the tribe of Judah, and to the tribe of Benjamin, which were the two tribes that remained to the Throne of David.

Our topic is: “CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY,” that is, “THE CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY.”

We have seen that the children of prosperity believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and are secure; and they believe the prophets of God, that is, the prophet that God sends for each time, and they are prospered.

We have a man of God, whose name was Jacob, who was a prophet of God, and who wrestled with the Angel of the Lord until he received the blessing of God. This man of God received a name change: His name was Jacob, and the Angel of the Lord named him “Israel.”¹ Jacob means ‘supplanter,’ and Israel means ‘prince with God,’ a prince with power with God.

And now, Jacob’s descendants receive the blessings that Jacob fought for and obtained from God.

And now, Jacob has twelve sons and one daughter² (Benjamin). Of the twelve sons, we find that he had one whose name was Joseph, he was the son by the beloved woman, Rachel, whom he married; but when he married…, for he had worked for Rachel for seven years, but when he married her, at night, when it was time to go on honeymoon, they changed the girl and placed the eldest, which was Leah; and the next day Jacob went to complain to his father-in-law, and his father-in-law said to him: “It is not done so here, to give the younger one first; but don’t worry, work for her again: seven years,” and he worked seven more years for the same young woman.³

What if the boys were told by their father-in-law: “You have to work with me for seven years before you can marry my daughter”? How many young men would marry? Very few, right? But Jacob’s love for Rachel was great, and God was in the matter. She was the woman God had chosen as a wife for Jacob; therefore, through that young woman would come great blessings for Jacob and his offspring.

And now, Jacob had sons through Leah: Reuben, the firstborn; and apparently the Birthright Blessing was going to be given (from Jacob) to Reuben. But you see, the blessing was to come to the firstborn through the beloved woman, through Rachel, for whom he worked (how many years?) 14 years.

But, first he worked seven and then he had to work seven more; so the girl… let’s say she was about 15 or 18 years old when Jacob came to Padanaram, to his uncle’s house; and look, he had to work…

Jacob had run away because of his brother Esau, who said that when his father Isaac died, he was going to kill his brother,⁴ his brother Jacob, because he had apparently stolen the Birthright Blessing from him⁵; but Esau had sold it to Jacob for a plate of lentils.6 And when the time came for Isaac to cast the Birthright Blessing, he had to cast it upon Jacob; although Esau was the firstborn, but he had sold the Birthright.</sup>

And every person who despises the Birthright Blessing can’t receive the blessings of God.

Now, you see, every human being has heard the preaching of the Gospel, where the Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary’s Cross is shown in favor of all of us, to receive Him as our Savior, to wash our sins in His Blood and to receive the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the Birthright.

And every person who denies Christ as his Savior, who denies Christ, and to receive Him as his Savior, and to wash his sins in the Blood of Christ, and to receive His Holy Spirit: is denying, and denying the Birthright Blessing, as Esau did.

And what will happen to those people? Well, they have lost the opportunity to receive the Birthright Blessing.

For Esau it was of no importance; as for many people it is of no importance to receive Christ as their Savior, to wash their sins in His Blood and to receive His Holy Spirit.

But look, Christ is creating a new race with eternal life, and He is creating it according to His Program. And all those who receive Him, receive His Holy Spirit, God gives them the power to become children of God,⁷ through the new birth.

By receiving the Holy Spirit they are born again, and obtain a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; and thus they are born in the Kingdom of God, and thus they are born in the sixth dimension, and thus they are born in the Church of Jesus Christ.

You see, what Christ is doing is creating a new race. It is not a matter of joining a religion or a religious sect; it is a matter of entering the Kingdom of God. And whoever is not born again, can’t enter the Kingdom of God.

Therefore, it is as Christ says:⁸ “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” There is no other way to go to the heavenly Father, there is no other way to receive Salvation, only through Jesus Christ our Savior.

And when the person receives Christ as his Savior, washes his sins in the Blood of Christ and receives His Holy Spirit: He has obtained the new birth and has obtained a theophanic body of the sixth dimension; a body similar to our body, but of another dimension; and if the person dies physically, he continues living in that body of the sixth dimension. The sixth dimension is Paradise.

And in the Last Day those people will be resurrected in an eternal body, to live for all eternity young in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ; and thus they will have a glorified body like that of Jesus Christ. And us who are alive, who are left, and if we remain until the dead in Christ are resurrected, then we will be transformed and we will have a glorified body like that of Jesus Christ also, and thus we will be physically immortal also. And thus the creation of the new race with eternal life will have been completed.

That is a super race; because a person who has a theophanic body of the sixth dimension, and an eternal and glorified physical body, belongs to a super race. And that super race is the offspring of God through Jesus Christ through the new birth.

Now, see that it is something more scientific than all the science that human beings have, because it is of the Science of God.

And now, what Christ said to Nicodemus:⁹ “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God (in other words, he can’t understand the Kingdom of God),” Nicodemus thought of a birth according to the flesh, to be born again through a woman, through his mother. And if she was already old, how could she enter into her mother’s womb and be born? And if she had died, much more difficult for him. But Christ said to him: “Verily, verily, I say to you, unless one is born of Water and the Spirit, he can’t enter the Kingdom of God.”

Now, we can see why Christ said: “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.”¹⁰ The most important thing is to enter the Kingdom of God; and we obtain this by receiving Christ as our Savior, washing our sins in His Blood and receiving His Holy Spirit; and thus we enter the Kingdom of God, thus we are born into the Church of Jesus Christ, and thus we obtain the theophanic body of the sixth dimension.

And for the Last Day we will receive —in addition— the physical, eternal and glorified body: we will be transformed when the dead in Christ are resurrected; and then we will all be in the image and likeness of Jesus Christ.

And that will be a super race with eternal life, which will rule, reign, with Christ over the Hebrew people and over all nations; and the capital will be Jerusalem, and the whole territory of Israel will be the Federal District. And the whole world, the whole planet Earth, will be ruled by Christ, by the Messiah, and His Church.

Now, we can see that the Program of Jesus Christ is greater and more glorious than what we thought.

And now, all the members of the Mystical Body of Christ are the children of prosperity; and although on this Earth they are not multimillionaires being in these mortal bodies: when we are in the new body we will be in the Kingdom of Christ as kings and priests; and that is more than multimillionaires!

The highest level of people will be the level at which Christ and His Church will be. Higher than that level there is none for human beings.

Now, we can see that in the glorious Kingdom of Jesus Christ, during the Millennial Kingdom, we will all be more than multimillionaires; and that is where we want to have our riches.

That is why Christ said: “Lay up for yourselves treasures (where did He say?) in Heaven.”¹¹ Treasures here on Earth can be stolen by thieves, or the devaluation of the nation can devalue everything a person has, and then the person loses what he has; and if he dies, he can’t take it with him either.

Look, the rich man when he died, found himself in hell, and he was so poor that he had no money to buy a glass of water; nor was there any water to be found there. He asked for Lazarus’ finger dipped in water, that Lazarus might go from Abraham’s Bosom (which was Paradise at that time), and go to hell to bring him his finger dipped in water; but father Abraham would not let Lazarus go, and Lazarus wouldn’t want to go there either.¹²

So you see, how much the rich man loved Lazarus, right?, that he wanted the father Abraham to send him to hell with his finger dipped in water, to put it on the rich man’s tongue; but the rich man was so poor that he had nothing to buy anything there; and nothing can be bought there with money either.

So the important thing is to be in the Kingdom of God, and thus to lay up treasures in the Kingdom of God, in Heaven. And in the glorious Millennial Kingdom we will enjoy them with Christ; because He will reward each one according to His Work.

“For your labor in the Lord is not in vain,”¹³ Saint Paul says.

And Jesus Christ said in Matthew, chapter 16, verse 27 to 28, that the Son of Man will come with His Angels to reward each one according to his works.

And in Revelation, chapter 22, Christ also tells us: chapter 22, verse 12, of Revelation, it says:

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”

Why? Because your work in the Lord is not in vain: Christ will reward each one according to his work.

And now, all the sons and daughters of God born in the Kingdom of God, have been working in the Kingdom of God, in the Work of Jesus Christ; therefore, those are the children of prosperity; and the more they work, the more they store in the Kingdom of God.

Lay up treasures in Heaven, where thieves don’t break in, neither moth nor rust doth corrupt; that is the safe place to lay up treasures: in Heaven, in the Kingdom of God.

Now, look, just as Jacob had a son named Joseph, who prospered in everything he did, because he was the son of prosperity: He typified Jesus Christ our Savior, who is the Son of Prosperity, the Son of God, who brings prosperity to the human being giving him eternal life; and for the Millennial Kingdom He will establish His Kingdom here on Earth, and it will be a Kingdom of prosperity; and the Earth will prosper as never before, why? Because the Son of Prosperity, our Joseph, Jesus Christ our Savior will be on the Throne of David.

When Joseph ascended the throne and became the second in pharaoh’s throne, the kingdom of Egypt prospered: For seven years there was an abundance of wheat, so much so that they stored up food like sand in the sea (or from the sea or from the beach); so that when the seven years of trial, of famine, came, they would have food stored up.¹⁴

As the ants do: they store up food in the time of summer, in the good time, so that when the cold time comes they may have food in their houses.

And now, Joseph was prospered.

And the Scripture says that when Joseph arose from there from the throne, went out from the throne of pharaoh there, and was riding in his chariot or on his horse, a trumpet was sounded before him; and every person who heard that trumpet knew that Joseph was coming; and every person had to bow the knee when Joseph came.¹⁵ There was nothing more important at that moment than Joseph coming. Every person had to stop doing the things they were doing to bow the knee before Joseph.

And Scripture tells us, speaking of the Second Coming of Christ, that every knee will bow before Him,¹⁶ and a Trumpet is promised to sound announcing His Coming; that is the Great Voice of Trumpet, the Last Trumpet, that Great Voice of Trumpet of First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 12 to 17; and it is also the Last Trumpet of First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 50 to 58; it is also the Great Voice of Trumpet that John the apostle heard in the Lord’s Day, in Revelation, chapter 1, verse 10 to 11, and that Great Voice of Trumpet said to John: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last.”

And who is the Alpha and Omega, who is the first and the last? Well, our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Voice of Christ speaking to us with the Great Voice of Trumpet. That speaks to us of the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached in this end time; and with the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom the mystery of the Second Coming of Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, as King of kings and Lord of lords in His Reclaiming Work is revealed.

The Gospel of the Kingdom being proclaimed is the Great Voice of Trumpet sounding and announcing our Joseph coming.

And now look how it was reflected in Joseph, the son of Jacob.

Joseph had two sons through his gentile wife.¹⁷ You see, Joseph with a gentile wife having two sons: the first (the eldest) was named Manasseh, and the second (or youngest) was named Ephraim (the second). These two sons are half gentile and half Hebrew: Because of Joseph’s wife (Asenath) they are gentile, and because of Joseph they are Hebrew.

In other words, there we find two sons through Joseph and Asenath; and two sons, sons of a prophet, sons of Joseph and grandsons of a prophet: Jacob; and great-grandchildren of another prophet: Isaac; and great-great-grandchildren of another prophet: Abraham. Look at how that line of prophets comes.

And now, Joseph being a prophet represents Christ. Christ is our Joseph, the Son of Prosperity.

And now, these two sons of Joseph: The elder represents the Hebrew people, and the younger represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ among the gentiles.

And now, when the time comes for Jacob to cast the Birthright Blessing, Joseph, knowing that his father was sick, comes to Jacob, who was in bed and didn’t know when he was going to die; but he was already in bed, very old, a hundred and something years old¹⁸ (at that time we can see that they lasted many years).

And now, his death is near, he was already about 147 years old; for he died at the age of 147, after he had blessed his other sons, the other patriarchs.¹⁹

And now, the first to receive the blessing is Joseph’s sons.²⁰

Joseph knew that the Birthright Blessing was very important; and Joseph —being a prophet— knew that the blessing was for him, because the blessing is always for a prophet, it passes from one prophet to another prophet.

What is another person who is not a prophet going to do with the Birthright Blessing? He will not know what to do.

And now, you see, Esau had the Birthright Blessing first, and he wasn’t a prophet, he didn’t know the value of the Birthright Blessing; he had a mine, and he didn’t know what he had. And now, that was for all eternity.

Now, you see, Jacob did know, because he was a prophet, he had the two consciences together. A prophet always knows the value of the Birthright.

And now, Joseph knowing that he was the eldest son of Jacob through Rachel… Although Reuben was born first before Joseph, but he was born through Leah; but the legal wife, whom Jacob married… and he married twice… and now, you see, and he worked twice for her: seven years first and then seven more years.

And now, it is through Rachel that the firstborn son has to come to receive the Birthright Blessing: it has to pass from Jacob to the firstborn son who will inherit it, and from that son it will then pass to his sons.

But now, you see, when Jacob reached the time when he had to die, Joseph appears before his other brothers. Joseph had the facility to appear first before his brothers; he could command them to stop (if he wanted to command them to stop), or he could do whatever he wanted; because Joseph was the second on the throne of the pharaoh, and no one moved a foot without Joseph’s order; in other words, Joseph’s edicts were fulfilled; he was governor of Pharaoh’s house, he was the one who governed everything in Pharaoh’s house, he was the administrator; we would say, the prime minister of that kingdom.

And now, he was the one who had the seal of the Pharaoh; in other words, he was the one who sealed with the seal of the Pharaoh all the important things.

And now, you see, everything prospered in Egypt.

And now, Joseph comes with his sons: Manasseh and Ephraim, before Jacob. Jacob got up from his bed (Jacob was already quite blind); and now Joseph brings his two sons in front of Jacob to bless them:

And he took in his right hand (who?) Ephraim, who was the youngest, so that he was in front of Jacob’s left hand; so that when Jacob lifted up his left hand, he placed it on Ephraim’s head. And he took Manasseh to his left side; so that when Jacob lifted up his right hand, it would be on Manasseh’s head.

But when Jacob lifted up his right hand to bless… Joseph knew that the right hand being placed upon the head brought the greater blessing; and with the right hand lifted up and placed upon the person’s head, that was the first one upon whom the Birthright Blessing was spoken.

And Jacob, when he lifted up his hand, instead of placing it on Manasseh’s head (which was in front of his right hand), he placed it on Ephraim’s head, which was in front of his left hand, but he was in Joseph’s right hand.

From Joseph’s right hand Ephraim came to receive, from Jacob’s right hand, the Birthright Blessing.

Now, look what happened there: and then he placed his left hand on Manasseh’s head and blessed Manasseh.

But Joseph, hearing that he was blessing Ephraim first, says to him: “My father, not like that, that is not the eldest! Lay your hand on Manasseh’s head, who is the eldest.” And Jacob says to him: “My son, I know.”

A prophet, even if he is blind, when he is blessing, he knows what he is blessing.

And now, Jacob doesn’t want to remove his hand: “My son, I know.” But Joseph was not very happy. But why was he not happy?

Notice, the one he brought in his right hand was the one who received Jacob’s right hand. If Joseph himself placed him in his right hand, now why should it bother him that Jacob placed his right hand on Ephraim?

And now, you see, the Birthright Blessing is in the right hand of God, and the Title Deed is there, and our names are written there, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, in the Book of the Seven Seals.

And now, Ephraim being blessed by Jacob, with the Blessing of the right hand; and then Manasseh being blessed, by placing the left hand on Manasseh’s head, Jacob… Jacob placed his left hand on Manasseh, and blessed him; but notice, the blessing of Ephraim was greater.

In Genesis, chapter 48, it tells us, verse 16 and on, it says… let’s see, from 13 and on so that you have a clear picture, it says:

“And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near unto him.

And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.

And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,

The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up (that is, he took) his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head.

And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.

And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.”

The greater blessing fell upon Ephraim, to form a multitude of nations; but the blessing that came upon Manasseh is to form a great nation: The Hebrew nation.

But now, you see, the Blessing of the Church of Jesus Christ is the blessing with which a multitude of nations are formed; and for the Millennial Kingdom and for eternity we will find a multitude of nations, product of the Blessing of Christ in His Church, for the Church of Jesus Christ is the one that has the Birthright Blessing.

When Jesus Christ died on Calvary’s Cross: through the Cross, we find that the Blessing that was for Israel, the Blessing of the right hand of God, passed to the gentiles, passed to the Church of Jesus Christ.

And now, you see, the greatest blessing is for the Church of Jesus Christ. The Church of Jesus Christ is the one that will have the kings and priests that will reign with Christ for the Millennium and for eternity. And of that Blessing given to the Church of Jesus Christ a multitude of nations will be formed.

In the Church of Jesus Christ, we have the firstborn, but there are also other people who belong to that blessing; and they, although they are not kings and priests, after the Millennial Kingdom they will resurrect, and will enter into eternal life; and nations will be formed with those people; and also those who have done favors to the Church of Jesus Christ will enter into eternal life after the Millennial Kingdom.

Now, we can see the great blessings of God in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the one that has the Birthright Blessing, she is the one that has the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Birthright.

And now, notice, the firstborn of God are those who have received Christ as their Savior, have washed their sins in the Blood of Christ and have received His Holy Spirit: they have received the Birthright; and therefore they have a theophanic body of the sixth dimension. And in the Last Day they will have a physical and eternal body.

Why? Because the Birthright Blessing is a double portion: We have the portion of the theophanic body, and on the Last Day, in addition, we will receive the other portion, which is the physical, eternal and glorified body.

And now we can see the great blessing that the members of the Church of Jesus Christ have, because those are the children of prosperity with Jesus Christ, our Joseph, the Son of Prosperity.

It is His Blessing that enriches and doesn’t add sorrow²¹; it is the Blessing of Christ, our Joseph, that enriches us and makes us His children, and therefore CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY.</sup>

And in this end time we find ourselves in the most glorious time of all times. The seven stages or ages of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ have already passed, and we find ourselves in the Golden Age of the Church of Jesus Christ, the stage of the Age of the Cornerstone, where the Blessing of God is so great that, from one moment to another, the number of God’s elect will be completed with Latin American and Caribbean people; because the Age of the Cornerstone, the Golden Age of Christ and His Church, is fulfilled in Latin America and the Caribbean; and that is why the call of the Great Voice of Trumpet is in Latin America and the Caribbean, calling and gathering His elect in this end time.

And when the number of the elect of the Last Day in the Age of the Cornerstone is completed, Christ will finish His Work of Intercession in Heaven, He will come out of the Throne of Intercession, He will take the Title Deed, the Book of the Seven Seals, He will open it in Heaven, He will claim all those He has redeemed with His Blood, He will resurrect the dead in Christ and He will transform us; and then we will all be in the image and likeness of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ with the Birthright Blessing manifested in us in all His fullness; for the Birthright Blessing has a double portion: The theophanic body (those are the first fruits), and the physical, eternal and glorified body (that is the double portion, that is the second portion).

And so we will all be like our beloved Lord Jesus Christ: With an eternal theophanic body, and with an immortal, incorruptible and glorified physical body, eternal also, and young for all eternity, like the glorified body of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, we have seen why we are THE CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY.

And with the establishment of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ on Earth, and us with Him as kings and priests reigning in that Kingdom, there will be prosperity on this planet Earth during that Millennial Kingdom; because they will be ruling as kings and priests on this planet Earth, over the Hebrew people and over all nations, Jesus Christ and His Church, Jesus Christ and His redeemed, Jesus Christ the King of kings with us as kings; and thus there will be prosperity, because the children of prosperity will be ruling with Jesus Christ our Savior.

“THE CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY.”

Now, we have seen who are THE CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY.

When the number of the children of prosperity is completed in the Kingdom of God, in the Church of Jesus Christ, in the Age of the Cornerstone, then God will call the Hebrew people, 144,000 chosen ones, to give them the blessing that is theirs; because first came the blessing for Ephraim and then for Manasseh, and first comes the Blessing for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and then it will come for the Hebrew people.

Now, we have seen “THE CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY” throughout the different ages of the Church of Jesus Christ, until we reach this end time.

And now, where are the CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY of this end time? Here we are on this Last Day, receiving the Blessings of Jesus Christ and hearing the Birthright Blessing being spoken to be materialized in our life, in each one of us.

“THE CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY,” that has been our topic for this occasion.

May the Blessings of Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, be upon you all and upon me also; and may the number of God’s elect soon be completed, and may Christ soon resurrect the dead believers in Him, and transform us who are alive. In the Eternal Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.

Thank you very much for your kind attention, and may you all have a good evening.

“THE CHILDREN OF PROSPERITY.”
