THE GOSPEL MEANS PROSPERITY

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor? …
Luke 4:18 [KJV]

The Lord Yahushua came for a specific assignment and it was encapsulated in our opening text. He came to preach the gospel to the poor. Gospel means good news. What is this good news that the Lord Yahushua came to preach to the poor? What is the gospel to the poor? The gospel to the poor is that Yahushua has come and they don’t have to be poor any more! Not very many poverty-stricken people have ever heard the whole gospel. Most of them have heard that they are supposed to live a meagre existence. That is what the missionaries who preached to them believed! There are always some missionaries who will become upset about the preaching of the whole gospel. But when you are preaching the Word of Yahweh, it works. Elohim could care less whether anyone listening has a dime or not. He didn’t base His gospel on what government happens to be in power at the time. All Yahweh is looking for is faith! There is enough undiscovered wealth in the poorest nations of this world to turn their poverty into abundance if they would just believe the gospel. If there wasn’t, Yahweh is more than able to put it there.

PROSPERITY OF YOUR BODY

PROSPERITY OF YOUR BODY

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
III John 1:2 (KJV)

Prosperity of the body means well-being in your body, finances, family and relationships. Our heavenly Father desires that you prosper in your body. Don’t allow any devil deceive you; sickness, pain, affliction, disease or any such thing is never the will of your heavenly Father for you. Yahweh is not punishing you with sickness, it is never written. It is however, true that sickness of all manner is in the curse of the law and you expose yourself to them by walking contrary to the Word. As a child of Yahweh, however, who is born again in Yahushua HaMashiach, you have a new nature of righteousness which forbids you to continue living in sin. You may fall into unrighteousness but living in sin is not your nature. Even at that, your Father is not going to punish you with sickness. When you sin, you repent and you are forgiven and that cuts off the hand of the devil. What we are saying today is don’t ever accept sickness, pain, disease or anything that discomforts your body as the will of Yahweh for you. The prosperity of your body is a priority to your heavenly Father. “I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health” is His declaration and He has not changed His mind. Your body is your license to exist on earth. No matter how sound your spirit and soul are, when your body wears out, your stay on earth has expired. The Father wants you to live a long strong healthy life.

PROSPERITY OF YOUR SOUL

PROSPERITY OF YOUR SOUL

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
III John 1:2 (KJV)

Man is a tripartite being. He is principally a spirit that has a soul that lives in a house called the body. Man is not a soul. Man has a soul. There is a difference. Man is a spirit because he was created in the image of Yahweh who is a spirit. At the breathe of Yahweh, his soul came alive. Genesis 2.7 says, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” It was the breathe of life that brought about the living soul. This accounts why life begins at new birth. You have a dead soul without a living spirit. It is the breathe of life that imparts the living soul. This is very critical for you to understand. When man died, his soul died. But at new birth, he is made alive and that affects the soul also. The soul is quickened at new birth. The soul is your will, emotion and intellect/mind. But the saving of the soul is a function of knowledge. The soul is saved completely as the mind is renewed by the Word of Yahweh. This is a gradual process and this process continues until the person exits time into eternity. But as long as you are in time, you would continually need the renewing of the mind by the Word. The prosperity of the soul is a function of knowledge of the Lord.

HOW PROSPERITY STARTS – PROSPERITY OF YOUR SPIRIT

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
III John 1:2 (KJV)

We have said that prosperity died in Adam at the fall. Sin killed the human race and consequently prosperity died. From that time, poverty began to prevail in the affairs of the people. Satan and sin has prevailed to bring the scourge of poverty to the human race. Prosperity has died with the man because of sin. Every effort of man to break even in life, was fiercely resisted by Satan because man was now under his dominion. Poverty is an affliction of Satan as punishment to man for having a relationship with Yahweh in the first place. He is so furious that he began resisting the efforts of the man to provide for himself and family. Also poverty was a function of the curse of Yahweh on the ground because of the sin of man. So, sin and Satan are responsible for the scourge of poverty on earth. However, that is not the end of the story. Yahweh did something about the situation because Satan cannot win. Satan cannot have the final say in the life of man. Man was in-charge of the earth but out of envy for the man, Satan instigated him against his maker just to gain the dominion that was once man’s. Satan did succeed. Satan did obtain man’s dominion and became the god of this world. II Corinthians 4:3-4 says, “3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

THE ORIGIN OF YOUR PROSPERITY (B)

THE ORIGIN OF YOUR PROSPERITY (B)

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Genesis 12:2 (KJV)

When we talk of roots, we are referring to the sources or fountain upon which something derives its legitimacy. We are saying that by your source, you are a person of prosperity. Considering your origin and source, you have no connection with empty-handedness and poverty. We are saying that poverty is a function of sin and the fall. From the beginning poverty was never the contemplation of Yahweh the creator. We have said yesterday that from your roots in Adam and Noah, you are a person of prosperity. Let us continue today by considering thirdly that your Abrahamic roots forbids existence in poverty. Yahweh called Abraham and blessed him and made a covenant of blessing with him and his seed. Genesis 17:10 says, “This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.” Understand that this covenant is to Abraham and to his seed. Galatians 3:16 says, “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many? but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.” HaMashiach is the seed of Abraham to whom this covenant of blessing belongs to. You may not and need not be of the Israelite stock according to the flesh to partake of this covenant. Galatians 3:29 says, “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Once you are in HaMashiach, you are plugged into this covenant and this covenant forbids existence in poverty and empty-handedness. By your connection to the Abrahamic root, through your relationship with the Lord Yahushua, you are a person of prosperity. Oh may the Lord open your eyes to see this reality today.

PROSPERITY DEFINED

PROSPERITY DEFINED

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 John 1:2 [KJV]

Prosperity has been mostly misunderstood among brethren. Prosperity is not having plenty money in your bank account; that may be part of it. Prosperity is not living large and luxuriously. Kingdom Prosperity is a whole world different from what prosperity means to an unsaved person. Prosperity to the world means accumulation of wealth. It means keeping what you have and growing it. But that is not what Kingdom prosperity is all about. Let us look at the original language rendering of prosperity both in Hebrew and Greek languages. The Hebrew is the original language of the Old Testament scriptures. The Greek is the original language of the New Testament. The Hebrew word for prosperity is transliterated “tob”; pronounced “tobe”. It means good, pleasant, agreeable (adjective). It is something pleasant, agreeable to the senses. It is pleasant to the higher nature. It is something good, excellent of its kind. It is good, rich, valuable in estimation. It is good, appropriate, becoming. It is better (comparatively). It is glad, happy, prosperous of man’s sensuous nature. It is good understanding of man’s intellectual nature. Prosperity in Hebrew (rendering it in masculine/feminine noun) is a good thing, benefit, welfare, prosperity, bounty and morally good. You see that the scriptural perspective of prosperity is completely different from what most people perceive when they hear that word. It is not a money word. It is not exclusively a wealth word. So if the way you are getting your money is not good morally, then you are not prospering. If the source of your wealth is not good, then you are not in prosperity. This is very critical to understand.

WHAT IS THE YAHWEH SAYING FOR AUGUST 2022?

WHAT IS THE YAHWEH SAYING FOR AUGUST 2022?

And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
Zechariah 2:4 [KJV]

Wow! Glory be to the Father for the privilege of seeing a New Month. Welcome to the month of August 2022 and Happy New Month to you Beloved! We believe the month of July was in all ramifications an encounter month with the principles and spirit of faith. We hope that you have had an encounter that is lasting a life-time for you. There is nothing that gives you your own place of rest in the year of existing in the Still Waters and Green Pastures like faith. Hebrews 4:3 asserts that “For we who have believed enter that rest,” meaning that until your faith is on display, your rest expectation is a mirage. This is why the subject of faith is a must for anyone that desires rest. Also your victory is only at the instance of faith. I John 5:4 says, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” Victory in any conflict of life answers to faith. When your faith is on fire, your victory is very sure. The size of the opposition notwithstanding, your triumph is unstoppable at the instance of your faith, “for the just shall live by his faith.” (Habakkuk 2:4). Faith is an individual treasure. Faith is like the heart in the body system. Each individual exists with his/her own heart. The end of a person comes the day his/her heart fails. The same is true spiritually. When your faith fails, you are out. Yahushua asked a question in Luke 18:8, “Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” Faith sees to your victorious adventure on earth and your glorious entrance into eternity with Yahweh. May you be found in faith when that trumpet shall sound or at the end of your adventure on earth. May your faith never fail in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
