AWESOMENESS OF PRAISE (5): RELEASE OF UNCTION

1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Psalms 92:1, 10 (KJV)

Unction talks about the power of Yahweh to perform His will on earth. Purpose is the will of Yahweh concerning your life, your career, family and church. Anything that concerns Yahweh requires His unction for execution. To walk in prosperity as a child of Yahweh, you require unction. To function in the gifts of the Holy Spirit as seen in 1 Corinthians 12, you need the unction of the Holy Spirit. That power upon you helps you to enforce the will of Yahweh even in the face of satanic opposition. Until you are in praise, you cannot access fresh oil. There is a flow of fresh anointing in praise which ultimately engenders the fulfillment of divine agenda for your life and world. When you give thanks and sing praises from the heart to the Lord, there is a release of fresh anointing from His presence that comes upon you. When you are not in praise, you are not in Yahweh. The moment Yahweh is not for you, He can’t help you. When you are in praise, you are in Yahweh, and consequently in power. You are not just in power, but in unlimited power!

AWESOMENESS OF PRAISE (4): YAHWEH’S MANIFEST PRESENCE

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord;
II Chronicles 5:13 (KJV)

Praise is the vehicle that conveys anyone into Yahweh’s presence. Yahweh inhabits the praise of His people (see Psalms 22:3). Whenever anyone wants to experience God’s presence, all that is required is to enter with thanksgiving and go on with singing praises to the Lord from the heart, then His presence is provoked. When Yahweh arrives what happens?

1. Everything holding you quakes out. There is earthquake when Yahweh arrives at the scene. Paul and Silas were thrown into the prison for preaching the gospel but at midnight, they praised Yahweh. As Yahweh visited the prison to inhabit their praise, there was great earthquake so that the foundation of the prison was shaken (see Acts 16:25-26). Praise builds a house for the presence of the Lord and when He arrives, whatever is harassing your life must be shaken out by fire. That is the wonder of praise. It has the capacity to bring Yahweh on the scene who in turn sets you free from every harassment of the enemy.

PRAISE DEFINED (1)

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Psalms 100:4 [KJV]

If man was formed to praise Yahweh, then it is of utmost importance to understand what praise is. Webster’s dictionary defines praise as “an expression of approval: commendation; worship, value, merit. Artha Open Thesaurus defines praise as an expression of approval and commendation; as offering words of homage as an act of worship. In the Bible, we have about seven Hebrew words that defines praise. These seven Hebrew words for praise are like seven dimensions of praise. Praise progresses. After we have introduced the seven Hebrew words for praise, we shall tell you why we say that praise is progressive. For space we may run this praise definition in series in order to cover them.

THANKFUL FOR AUGUST 2022

THANKFUL FOR AUGUST 2022

If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart.

Malachi 2:2 (BBE)

We have established in the prosperity pillar of thanking that it takes thanksgiving to procure the blessing and to maintain it. You need to be admitted into His majestic presence to experience anything which the Father has to offer and prosperity is one of what is in the offers for you. For you to be admitted into His glorious presence, you must arrive there with thanksgiving. Psalms 100:4 says, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” There is a spiritual bouncer at the entrance of the temple in heaven who bounces back anyone not approaching with thanksgiving. Once, there is murmuring, complaining, grumbling and grudging in your heart, you are bounced back. This is the reason, why so many have been around in Church for a long time, but no result to show. There are foreigners to the throne room because of not approaching with thankful heart. To show you how distasteful complaining is to the Father, Numbers 11:1 says, “And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.” Beloved, complaining displeases the Father and you cannot continue to displease the source of your prosperity and prosper. This revelation is very crucial. Complaining doesn’t only displease the Father, it also arouses His anger against the complaining child of His. The fire of His wrath is set in motion to consume the complaining child of His. You incur wrath instead of mercy when you are not existing in thankfulness.

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (7): THANKING

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

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

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

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 (2): CREATIVE THINKING

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!
