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.

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

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.

THANKFUL FOR JULY 2021

THANKFUL FOR JULY 2021

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:7 [KJV]

Today is the end of July 2021. From the 1st of July till today, we have seen the goodness and mercies of the Lord in all ramifications of our lives and for that we are most grateful to the Lord Yahweh. We have come today to thank Him for the success of the month of July. In case, you cannot see anything to thank Yahweh for – I know such a person will not be reading this now; let me remind you that not all that saw 1st of July 2021 are alive today to see the 31st of July 2021. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed (see Lamentations 3:22). We owe Him thanks today. For the victories of faith in the month of July, we owe Elohim thanks. Also, our attitude of thanksgiving determines, what the next month will be for us. Let us explore more on the benefits of thanksgiving.

Our text says that we should abound with thanksgiving. The Greek word translated abounding is ‘perisseuo’ meaning to superabound (in quantity or quality), be in excess, be superfluous; also (transitively) to cause to superabound or excel. You see that the English word abounding did not capture the Greek rendering. What the text is saying in essence is that we should superabound with quality and quantity thanksgiving, and allow our thanksgiving to be in excess. This is beyond theology

DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN PARENTING

DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN PARENTING

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
Titus 2:4 (KJV)

If a husband and wife are operating the Yahweh-kind of love, then it will flow naturally to the children. The Yahweh-kind of love is very crucial in marriage because the aim of the assault of Satan on the marriage is not the husband and wife per se but the offspring of that union – the children. Both Yahweh and Satan are keenly interested in the children of the marriage. Malachi 2:15 says, “And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.” So our Father Yahweh is interested in the marriage because He is seeking a godly seed. Satan is also seeking to destroy that godly seed of the woman. If Satan can’t get the husband or wife, he will seek to scatter their marriage so that he can destroy the future of the seed. When marriage dies, the children’s future have a 98% of being corrupted by the harsh society environment and influence. Revelation 12:17 says, “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Satan went forth to make war with the seed of the woman. Beloved, there is a war currently going on. Satan wants to destroy your marriage in order to destroy your children. This is the motivation that must drive you to love your spouse with the Yahweh-kind of love. Then extend that love to the children.

DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN MARRIAGE

DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN MARRIAGE

18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Colossians 3:18-19 (KJV)

The first place that the characteristics of the Yahweh-kind of love manifests is in the family between husband and wife, then extends to the children and then to the Church and society at large. This is why the failure of people to function in the Yahweh-kind of love in their family has resulted in the high rate of disintegration of families these days. The scripture is littered with instructions to love our spouses. It is only the Yahweh-kind of love that can hold marriage together making it a heaven-on-earth experience of a home. Submission is a function of humility and patience which are all characteristics of the Yahweh-kind of love. When the wife is told to submit to her own husband, it is another way of telling the wife to love their husbands. Titus 2:4-5 brought it out clearly, “ 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” When you love your husband, as a wife, you would be kind, obedient, patient, courteous, generous and appreciating him for the things he does for you and the family. The author has seen from experience as a pastor counselling numerous people that a godly woman is the best blessing a man can receive. Just as the scripture says in II Peter 3:1-2, “ 1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands? that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives? 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.”; the author has seen the impact of godly submissive wives on ungodly husbands which confirmed the Word that they are always drawn by the chaste conduct of their wives.

When a husband loves his wife, there is a security that love brings on the home front that even Satan himself cannot dare. The love of a husband is the wall of defence of the home. When a husband loves his wife, he can go to any length to make the home comfortable for him and all inhabitants of the home. Remember that we are not talking about natural human love which is very fickle. We are talking about the Yahweh-kind of love which is a supernatural manifestation of the Holy Spirit. When a husband loves his wife with this divine love, the security and prosperity of the family is secured. The Yahweh-kind of love triumphs over every form of assault of the devil on the family.

It takes a mind renewed with the Word of Yahweh and a body submitted to the Lordship of the Holy Spirit to function in the Yahweh-kind of love. When the husband loves his wife according to 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and the wife does same, no force of devil can introduce tension in their home.

CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (13): NEVER FAILS

CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (13): NEVER FAILS

Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end] …
I Corinthians 13:8 (KJV)

There is only one thing in life that has guarantee, that you can hold closing your eyes and be 100% sure that you are safe and secure. You can completely build your life on this one thing and never again think twice in terms of safety, prosperity, peace and eternity. The Lord Yahweh, the creator of heaven and earth is that one person that cannot fail. In 1 John 4:8, the word tells us that Yahweh is love. Just as Yahweh can never fail, the Yahweh-kind of love can never fail. Walking in the Yahweh-kind of love is the only failure-proof existence that guarantees victory and success both in life and eternity.

The Yahweh-kind of love is different from human natural love. This Yahweh-kind of love cannot be accessed and manifested by a natural person. It is a supernatural nature that comes upon you as a result of surrendering your heart to the Lord Yahushua. When you give your life to the Lord Yahushua as your Lord and Personal Saviour, His Spirit comes into your heart/spirit and recreates you. This is the experience we call being ‘born again’. This Yahweh-kind of love is shed abroad in your spirit/heart by the Holy Spirit. So, every born again person has this failure-proof supernatural love in his/her spirit. Why then are there so many failures in the body of HaMashiach? Why are there so many divorces and failed marriages? Why are there so many failed careers and professions? If the love of Yahweh is in every believer and it guarantees a failure-proof existence, what is the disconnect in the lives of so many believers around the world today?

The answer is that potentials does not always translate into great destinies because there is a responsibility that is placed on the laps of anyone who would experience the benefits of the Yahweh-kind of love. It is the responsibility of walking, exercising, nurturing and developing that fruit of love. It is the responsibility of yielding to the Holy Spirit to walk according to the love nature in your spirit and not yield to your flesh and carnal mind.

CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (10): BEARS ALL THINGS

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes …
1 Corinthians 13:6 (AMPC)

The more I try to comprehend this love, the more I am amazed and feel like I have not even started at all. The acid test of spirituality is walking in the Yahweh-kind of love. The Yahweh-kind of love bears up under anything and everything that comes. The Greek word rendered bears up or beareth (KJV) is stego. It means to cover and is related to the word indicating a roof, or a covering that offers protection from the elements. In his commentary, W. E. Vine explains that this covering either supports what is placed upon it, or covers what is placed underneath it. Love acts in both ways in bearing all things. The implications of this is awe-striking.

CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (9): DO NOT REJOICE AT INJUSTICE OR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS

CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (9): DO NOT REJOICE AT INJUSTICE OR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS

It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
I Corinthians 13:6 (AMP)

How our lives and relationships will be transformed if we can just start manifesting the Yahweh-kind of love. This love does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness. What does it mean to not rejoice in iniquity? The word “rejoiceth” in the phrase “rejoiceth not in iniquity” according to KJV is translated from the Greek word chairō, which means to rejoice, to be glad, to be delighted or pleased. Think about when you are delighted in something. You may dwell on it or talk about it—maybe you even make a big deal about it or magnify it. You rejoice in it, and it makes you glad. When we manifest the love of Yahweh, we absolutely don’t rejoice in unrighteousness. We assuredly don’t take pleasure in wrongdoing. And we most certainly don’t gloat over other men’s sins nor show gladness when others do wrong or fail.

You probably have seen or heard something happened to someone and you responded “Yes, he/she deserves it” maybe because of the way they have treated you in the past. That kind of response is not the Yahweh-kind of love’s way. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. When someone is unjustly treated and you are happy because the person has also treated you unjustly, you are not manifesting the Yahweh-kind of love. When someone is unjustly treated, no matter what the person has done, stand against the injustice because the Yahweh-kind of love does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness. No matter how “deserving” it may seem for someone to “get what’s coming to them”, that’s not what love would do. Love does not avenge itself. Love is not secretly glad someone was injured or hurt or paid back for their wrongs.
