FOUNDATION FOR PROSPERITY (3): AFFECTION

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:18 (KJV)

Deuteronomy 28:47-48 says “47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.” Today, we want to consider the foundation for prosperity called affection. I define affection as delightsome commitment—getting involved with excitement. There is this prophetic parable in Jeremiah 23:36-39, “36 And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God. 37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and, What hath the Lord spoken? 38 But since ye say, The burden of the Lord; therefore thus saith the Lord; Because ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord; 39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:” So you have to be delighted in Yahweh, you have to be excited! Yahweh loves a cheerful giver. That is, Yahweh doesn’t love just the giver, but the one that gives cheerfully. Giving therefore without being cheerful is wasting your seed. It has no future. When you do it as a burden and not as a delight, you end up in shame and reproach. When you don’t obey Yahweh with delight, it’s a curse.

Yahweh is not a taskmaster. He brought us out of the taskmaster’s domain in Egypt, so we can enjoy His favours and blessings. Yahweh must not be seen as a burden, otherwise life remains a burden for you! When you are not delighted in your service unto Yahweh, you suffer lack. You know why many people are in lack today? They give their tithes with complaints and murmuring! Any time you’re not excited, please never drop an offering, it’s a waste! Serve the Lord with gladness of heart! There is nothing that has happened to you that is not common to man. But when you now make your own special, you become a special problem to Yahweh. Yahweh is not a burden! There is no special problem in this world, don’t create one for yourself! There’s nothing around you that you cannot handle. There’s a great tomorrow for you! It’s not a burden serving the Lord, it’s a privilege! Affection is an expression of love.

REMEMBER: Your love for the Lord Yahushua must be confirmed for you to be ready for prosperity.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask for the grace to love you with all my heart in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I command your love for the Lord to come alive in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
