HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (6): REACH OUT TO THE POOR
Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
Psalms 41:1 [KJV]
Let us read the context of our opening text. We continue from verse 2, Psalms 41:2-3 says, “2 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.” To consider the poor is to think and act on the welfare of the poor; to look at the poor and circumspect his income and its impact on his well-being and from that knowledge act to mitigate their hardship. Just considering the poor is a covenant action that commits El-Shaddai to your health among other things. In the days that you are challenged in your health, what you have done for the poor can speak for you. This was the exact story of that precious woman called Dorcas in Acts 9:36-41. Job’s outreach to the poor was one of the reasons that Yahweh surrounded him with a hedge of protection so that the enemy could not assault him and his family. Your openhandedness to the poor is a strategic key to maintaining your covenant health package. This is wisdom and very crucial.
The poor has a very special place in the heart of Yahweh. Yahweh did not create anybody poor. Choices and circumstances of life and often times man’s wickedness and cruelty to his fellow is the reason there is poverty. Most wicked and oppressive systems and government even weaponize poverty against their own citizen. They bring policies and system that oppress the people and that is aimed at keeping the people poor and needy so the people will not have the wherewithal to challenge them. We have seen these things even in these days we live. Poverty is not the creation of Yahweh and maybe because the poor is always at the receiving end of oppression and deprivation, the Yahweh of power comes to their aid to crush those that oppress them. Because of the strategic place, the poor occupies in the heart of our Heavenly Father, anything one does for the poor does not go unrewarded. Proverbs 19:17 says, ‘He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.’ Your attitude to the poor can affect your health and can also speak for you in the days of challenge of your health.
One of the hallmarks of a righteous man is that he opens his hands to the poor. Psalms 112:9 says, ‘He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.’ Look at this scripture in Proverbs 21:13, ‘Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.’ That is a heart that is close to the cry of the poor has automatically closed Yahweh’s hand over such a person. The poor around you is your opportunity to win favour with Yahweh. All through history, we see how people unlocked their lives on the altar of ceaseless outreach to the poor. Get connected to that frequency today. Shalom!
REMEMBER: Your heart for the poor activates Yahweh’s Health Maintenance System for you.
CONFESSION: As the heart of Yahushua to the poor so is my heart to the poor. I am mindful of how the Father regards the poor, so it is always my privilege to reach out to the poor. Praise the Lord!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see your bowels of mercy opened to the poor from this day in Yahushua’s name Amen!
