PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (7): THANKING
If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
Malachi 2:2 (KJV)
Friend, you’re either thanking and giving glory to Yahweh or you are murmuring against Him. And the cheapest way out of murmuring is to be thankful. There’s no way you will not murmur if you’re not thankful. Abraham did not stagger at the promise of Yahweh. He was strong in faith, giving glory to Yahweh (see Romans 4:20). He was thankful to Yahweh even before he saw what he was believing Elohim for. He was able to do so by refusing to consider any contrary thing other than Yahweh who is faithful. To be thankful is to be fruitful, and to be thankless is to be fruitless! Until you become thankful, you don’t become fruitful. Psalm 67:5-7 says, “5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. 7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.” You don’t praise after the increase has come, but before; it is the praise that provokes the increase. Abraham gave glory to Adonai and then Adonai responded. Every time you sit in the corner of your room wondering if Yahweh is still there, wondering if His Word can still be relied upon, wondering whether He is Who He says He is, or whether the preachers are just playing smart on you, you remain on the same spot. Every time you’re cast down, you can’t go up. Those who look up to the sun don’t see the shadows. Psalm 34:5 says, ”They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.”

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (6): WAITING
And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God’s word to him was put into effect.
Hebrews 6:15 (BBE)
This is the eagle’s secret. Yahweh swore to Abraham, yet he needed patience to obtain that promise. The Bible said, “after he had patiently endured”, not after he had subjected himself to rigorous senseless fasting, not after he had struggled and sweated it out; but after he had patiently endured. Abraham needed to have endured. Indeed, every man, every “eagle Believer”, require a degree of covenant patience. The covenant of prosperity is not a magic wand, it’s an adventure of faith. “After he had patiently endured…”, not after he had wept aloud. We are not called to weep, but to wait. In Habakkuk 2:3, Yahweh said every vision is for an appointed time, so though it tarries, wait for it. Did He say weep for it? Did He say run around for it? No! Wait! “Wait for it. It will surely come, it shall not tarry.” The reason we are wasting is because we don’t like to wait. Please understand that quick prosperity will always end in grievous austerity, because it lacks the required foundation for lasting results.

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (5): TRUSTING
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
Psalms 112:7 (KJV)
Quite a number believe God, but very few trust Him. What enhances a successful, cheerful and relaxed giving life is trusting. It makes for profitable giving. Those who trust Him are totally dependent on Him and on no one else. Jeremiah 17:7 says, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.” Trusting is the highway to continuous triumph. Psalm 34:8, 22 says, “8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.“ In Matthew 6:31, Yahweh says, “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?” The only way not to take thought for your life is to trust; and that’s your highway to the realm of kingdom prosperity. There are so many people who are giving in worship, but who have never enjoyed the blessings of Yahweh. Why? They are not dependent on Yahweh for their needs, so they keep suffering. They depend on their pay packets, and on their big brothers. Jeremiah 17:5 says, “Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.”

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (4): WORKING
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Proverbs 10:4 (KJV)
No one is born poor, neither is anyone born rich. Nobody was born with a three-piece suit and a pair of shoes on. Everybody came to this earth stark naked. Nobody carried a purse or a cheque book when he was born. People arrive here to become whatever they choose to be. “He becometh poor…” Just like men become rich, others also become poor. Your choice determines what you become. “…But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.” So the making of wealth is not limited to giving alone. Just in a moment, I will show you the balance between giving and working. Giving procures the blessings, while working opens the channel through which that blessing flows back to you. Giving establishes the blessings, but working provides the channel through which the blessings are released. Giving without working is like pouring water into a basket. The channel is not created for the blessings that accrue from giving to be delivered. Here are two striking scriptures that draw a link between giving and working. “A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.” (Proverbs 18:16). That is, room is created by your givings. But look at Proverbs 22:29, “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” So it is your giving, and your working that determine your ultimate placement in life. The charismatics have been taught how to give, but many have not been taught the covenant place and dignity of labour.

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (3): TALKING
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea? and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass? he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mark 11:23 (KJV)
This is the law of faith, “you shall have whatsoever you say”. Your mouth is the channel through which you sign your spiritual check for withdrawal. Whatsoever you sign is delivered to you both positive and negative. If you look into your life now, your outcome is a product of your words. This is an inevitable law. In Numbers chapter 13, we read of the spies that went to spy Canaan. When they returned, ten of them said, “… We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” (Numbers 13:31). And truly, all that generation that said that they be not able to enter the promised land, ended their journey in the wilderness. According to their words, they were not able to enter into that land. In Numbers 14:28 Yahweh told Moses “Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:” Whatever you say, whether positive or negative becomes your portion, it is only a matter of time. Caleb and Joshua said “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” (Numbers 13:30). The two were the only ones that entered into Canaan from that older generation. Your talking is your life. Your life flows in the direction of the your confession.

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (2): CREATIVE THINKING
3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Proverbs 24:3-4 (KJV)
Until you think through, you cannot breakthrough. Thinking is a function of wisdom. Many of us are a concern to Yahweh. This is because the things we cry about don’t require tears at all. They just require taking the appropriate steps, and then walking into victory. But when you don’t know what steps to take, how do you take them? I’d like you to know that Yahweh has made every provision available for us to exercise our minds so we can excel in life. The creative abilities in us will only come to light with the adequate exercising of our senses. It is strong meat for strong destiny. Hitherto many have thought that sense knowledge is contrary to scriptural or spiritual knowledge. But without a good sense knowledge, you can’t understand the things of the spirit. Your spirit can’t instruct your body, it is your mind that does that; because the body only responds to instructions from the mental region. Your spirit illuminates your mind, passing on information to it, and then your mind dispatches it to the body, for appropriate actions. Please understand this: how much mental exercise you engage in determines how much you will excel in life. Remember, wisdom begets wealth. It is reasoning that makes rich!

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (1): COVENANT GIVING (B)
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
Luke 8:3 (KJV)
The fourth covenant giving is giving to your parents. Your parents include both your biological and spiritual parents. The parents that gave birth to you are your covenant channel of blessing. You are commanded by the Word to honour them. You must have a budget monthly for your parents. Living large in the city while your parents are barely existing in the village is laying a future of poverty for yourself. Honouring your parents opens you up to a life that it is well with you and that you live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:1-3 says, “1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother? (which is the first commandment with promise?) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.” The “God bless you, my child” that comes from your parents’ mouth is weightier spiritually than any curse from any demonised person. Please don’t ignore that. Then, the person through whom the Lord feeds you the Word is your spiritual parent and you are to honour them. We saw in our opening text that people gave to the Lord Yahushua from their substance. The mantle of your shepherd is to tackle the battles of your life. The Lord Yahushua placed him into your life for a reason. Connect to him/her.

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (1): COVENANT GIVING (A)
Give, and it shall be given unto you? good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Luke 6:38 (KJV)
Covenant giving is the highway of abundance in this Kingdom. The law of seed-time and harvest is also called the law of giving. Giving is like sowing seeds into the ground. The ground you are sowing the seed matters a lot to the harvest that you can expect. That is why it is not every giving that produces harvest. It is only covenant giving that produces bountiful harvest. Covenant giving is that giving that is in line with the Word. Covenant giving is that giving that is commanded by the Word. When you give according to the Word, then you are assured of a bountiful returns. Covenant giving starts with the tithe. The tithe is ten percent of the increase of Yahweh upon your life and business/career. 10% of $100 is $10. That is how simple it is. Tithe is a debt you are owing Yahweh that is why if you refuse to pay, it is regarded as robbery (see Malachi 3:8-12). When you pay your tithe, you provoke the heavens opened over you and your finances and indeed everything that concerns you. When you don’t pay your tithe, you incurred the curse of the Lord released upon the thief (see Zechariah 5:1-4). You also close the heaven over you and expose yourself to the devourer. It is better imagined than experienced. If you are in this Kingdom of HaMashiach and you are not faithful in tithing, you are doing yourself a great disservice. In the new testament, it is our high priest Yahushua that receives the tithe (see Hebrews 7:8).

FOUNDATION FOR PROSPERITY (4): ADDICTION
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness? and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
There is another level we are going to be discussing today. It is called addiction. This is the point of encounter with Yahweh-Jireh. Psalms 122:6 says, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” Who shall prosper? The above scripture says, “they shall prosper that love thee”, not “that love to prosper.” Those that shall prosper are those that love the peace of Jerusalem (Yahweh’s kingdom), that want to see it advancing, progressing and established. That’s addiction! Verse 9 says, “Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek thy good.” That’s not a trade by barter life, but a life utterly dedicated and committed to the good of the house of Yahweh. David was simply addicted! There is what to seek first, so that you won’t have any need to seek any other thing, as they would cheaply be added unto you! I don’t know where your heart is, but I must tell you that where your heart is determines where Yahweh places you. Seek ye first the kingdom of Yahweh… That is, you’re moved by every kingdom issue; not just to be seen, but because that’s where your heart is. Many are in the kingdom for what they can get, so they always get disappointed. Many there are that are only moved by their own things, so their own things never work. But when the kingdom of Elohim moves you as your own thing would, you’re on your way to the topmost top in life. David can testify to this (1 Chronicles 29:2-5).
