PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (1): GIVING (B)
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.
Ephesians 6:2-3 (KJV)
We shall continue the discussion of the giving dimensions. These giving dimensions provide avenue to release what you have in your hand in order to connect what Yahweh has in store for you.

PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (1): GIVING (A)
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy Yahweh: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV)
We are going to look at the pillars of Kingdom Wealth. Kingdom Wealth answers to our lifestyle after new birth. What you do determines what Yahweh does for you. When you respond in obedience to the Word of Yahweh, you set the stage for Yahweh to unleash upon you what you cannot recover from all your days. Let us start this series with Giving. Giving is living. The way Yahweh prospers is different from the way the world prospers. What the world calls prosperity is how much you have; but in the kingdom of Yahweh, prosperity is determined by how much you give. We’re going to be looking at five dimensions of giving:

THE PURPOSE OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (3): FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living Yahweh, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
I Timothy 6:17 (KJV)
This point should be obvious, that Yahweh is blessing you for you to enjoy it. Yahweh is not opposed to your enjoyment of the blessing on your life. On the contrary, He blesses you richly for your enjoyment. See this scripture in Deuteronomy 8:10, ‘When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy Yahweh for the good land which he hath given thee.’ Yahweh doesn’t just have a programme for you to eat but has provided more than enough so you can be full. Yahweh wants you to eat to the full not scarcely, not in scarcity. He gives us richly all things to enjoy. Refuse to manage through life. Refuse to celebrate scarcity, lack and want. There is more than enough provision for you to be full and be a blessing. Come to think about it, how can you be a blessing if you are not blessed? How can you sponsor someone to church if you lack transport yourself? If Yahweh commands you to be a blessing, it means He designed you to overflow, not to get by, not to manage through. No! Whatever your position is today does not suggest that it is your portion. Your portion in HaMashiach is abundance, plenty and prosperity. It is a place where nothing is lacking, nothing is missing.

THE PURPOSE OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (2): FOR OUTREACH TO THE POOR
Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
Psalms 41:1 (KJV)
The poor is your opportunity to build capacity for greater level of blessing. The poor around you are Yahweh-given assets for your increase in life. So celebrate every opportunity to bless the poor with excitement. There’s always somebody in need just around the corner. ‘For ye have the poor always with you…’ (Matthew 26:11). Deuteronomy 15:11 also adds: ‘For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.’ When you open up your bowels, heaven’s windows also opens in your direction. One of the reasons Yahweh blesses us is so that we can bless the poor around us, to open our hands wide towards the poor and rescue them from the jaws and plague of poverty. Until your arms are open wide to the needy, Yahweh’s window stays shut over you. If you eat all your food and drink your water alone, it will soon run dry. There’s an opportunity around you there, grab it! You may say, “There was somebody I helped the other day, and he did this, he did that”, recounting some negative experiences you had in the past. No! Just keep reaching out to the poor and needy. Don’t say, “When I have a big house…” It’s a big heart you need, not a big house!

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (4): AFFECTION
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
Psalms 91:14 [KJV]
Affection is delightsome commitment – getting involved with excitement. This means that whatever involves Yahweh is not a burden to you. Serving Yahweh without affection, rather attracts a curse from Yahweh. So this foundation is critical. See what Yahweh says in Deuteronomy 28:47-48, ‘47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy Yahweh 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.’ It is a risk to hang around Yahweh without an affection for Yahweh. It is only responding to the Love of Yahweh that qualifies anyone for Kingdom prosperity. 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.

WHAT IS THE LORD SAYING FOR JULY 2023?
For where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven.
Hebrews 9:16 [NET]
Welcome to the month of July 2023, the second half of the year. Seven is the number of perfection. Whatever concerns you in this year shall be perfected this month. You shall see the greatness of Yahweh this second half like never before. We believe the torrents of the Word on Praise did show you how to provoke drastic, dramatic and dimensional turnarounds as a lifestyle. Praise really in itself is a wonder because it has the key to the presence of the Lord. The presence of Yahweh carries all that man can ever need, desire or imagine. Therefore, in praise, you have access to more than you can always need, desire or imagine. May the wonders of PRAISE become your reality all the days of your life in Yahushua glorious name, Amen!

THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
Hebrews 13:15 (KJV)
A sacrifice is something that costs you something. It is a great value given to propitiate a being. II Samuel 24:24 showed us an example; “And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.” The sacrifice of praise is praise that costs you something. It is praise that is not convenient and which tasks on your will and emotions. It is praise that is required at the most inconvenient time in your life. We shall see an example of the people that offered the sacrifice of praise. Anyone can thank Yahweh and praise Him when the going is smooth and great, but when all situations are contrary, and you still praise, it is a sacrifice at that time. It is important to note that sacrifice brings about speedy divine intervention. We saw how the sacrifice that King David gave brought about divine intervention and termination of the plague. That sacrifice also made that place a landmark till all eternity as the place the temple was later built. Sacrifice is very powerful.

OBSTACLES TO ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (4): HIGH-MINDEDNESS
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Romans 11:20 (KJV)
Highmindedness is one of the greatest enemies of praise. It is a condition where an individual sees everything as below his expectation. He sees himself as too much for where he is and hardly appreciates the acts of Yahweh in his life. As a matter of fact, Yahweh is too slow for him. This is nothing but a device of the enemy to turn one against Yahweh, by portraying Him as unfaithful and slow. The Bible says that in the last days, men shall be high-minded, lovers of pleasures and of self more than lovers of Yahweh (see 2 Timothy.3:2-5). They are never satisfied and they celebrate their qualifications and expertise at the expense of their relationship with Yahweh. At the end of the day, Yahweh leaves them to themselves. But 1 Timothy 6:17 says, ‘Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.‘ Life is in phases! Until you accept the reality of that statement, you may be phased out. You must appreciate the fact that you are where you are now, by the faithfulness of Yahweh. So, whatever you possess is not as a result of your expertise, but the hand of Yahweh upon your life.

OBSTACLES TO ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (1): THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
Psalms 69:20 (KJV)
The spirit of heaviness is an enemy of praise. It is not a state of the mind, neither is it an attitude. It is a spirit – a force in the realm of the unseen. Its victim is not down because of any negative thing that has happened to him; he is depressed most times without even knowing why! He wonders what life is all about. I believe that was the spirit that came upon Elijah when he fled from Jezebel. He said, “… It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.” (1 Kings 19:4.). Until the spirit of heaviness goes, praise, which is your guarantee to the high places in life, cannot flow. But Isaiah 61:1,3 says, ‘The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to… appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…’

DIVIDENDS OF PRAISE (7): SECURED/PRESERVED BLESSING
I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJV)
The blessings some people enjoy are not sustained forever because they do not know how to preserve them. Praise is the secret for preserving our blessings. Yahweh said in Malachi 2:2: ‘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.’ Psalm 50:23 also says, “Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me…” Giving glory to Yahweh is the covenant device for the preservation of blessings. Yahweh expects you to give Him glory for His hand on your life; when you don’t, He is compelled to curse that blessing or withdraw it. When you hit a jackpot in business or you are singled out among a thousand people for honour, don’t kiss your hand and congratulate yourself as an intelligent, energetic and unbeatable person. Give Yahweh the glory, because without Him you can do nothing.
