HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (7): BY THE COMMUNION

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
John 6:57 (KJV)

The Communion is a miracle meal. It is a spiritual meal. It is a supernatural meal. The Communion is the ordinance of the flesh and blood of Yahushua. During the Last Supper the Lord Yahushua established this sacrament as they were eating, He took bread, blessed it, broke it and gave to his disciples and said “Take, eat; this is my body.” (see Matthew 26:26). Now please recognize that there is nothing special about the bread that Yahushua took. In fact, it was part of the meal that they were eating. But the moment He took it, blessed it and said those words, it became His body. Like many of Yahweh’s dealings with us, the Communion is a spiritual supernatural ordinance, don’t ever try to figure it out with your natural mind. When you try to figure spiritual truths with your natural mind, you will go into error. Matthew 26:27-28 says, ‘27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.’ This ordinance of taking the body and blood of Yahushua is what is called the Communion.

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (4): LIVE BY THE WORD

For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
Proverbs 4:22 (KJV)

The Word of Yahweh is the life of the new creation. You must understand that the new creation is not a normal human being. He is only a human being because his body was not changed but he is divine because his spirit was recreated and the spirit is the core of the existence of man. The new creation is a supernatural being powered by the Word of Yahweh. I Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” That means that the Word of Yahweh is what recreated us and imparted His life in us. The new creation is a direct product of the Word. There is a law that says that the source determines the sustenance. That means that if the Word was the source of the new creation, it would take living by the Word to sustain that divine life in our earthen vessels. The Word forms spiritual supernatural immune system in your body and around your life and destiny against any assault of the devil. To live in divine health, you have a part to play. That is why our topic is how to live in divine health covenantly. Covenant connotes that it is an agreement between two parties with obligations on both parties’ sides. Your side of the deal is to eat the Word and to live by it. Yahweh’s side of the deal is to ensure that the life of the Word flows into your body and into every area of your life, effecting what it talks about. If there is any failure, then, we all would agree that it is not Yahweh’s. It must be with us. We know that because Psalms 89:34 says, “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.”

THANKFUL FOR AUGUST 2023

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Colossians 1:12 (BBE)

Here at #WordForTodayDevotional, we devote the last day of every month as our thanksgiving day where we celebrate the grace of Yahweh that has seen us through the month. We do not take for granted the mercies of the Lord from the first of the month to today the thirty-first. We have had a bath of the Word of righteousness and holiness this month and we owe the Lord thanks. What is thanksgiving and what does it hold for the believer? Thanksgiving is realizing the grace and mercy of Yahweh upon our lives and returning to Him with praise, giving Him glory. Thanksgiving is returning to the Lord with a loud voice giving Him glory for the goodness and mercy we have seen. Thanksgiving is appreciating Yahweh for who He is, a great God, a merciful God, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love (see Exodus 34:6; Deuteronomy 10:17). Thanksgiving is knowing that the Lord is the source of whatever blessing we have experienced and returning to the Lord with joy, gratitude, praise and worship, giving Him glory.

WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS OFFERS (2): BEAUTY

WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS OFFERS (2): BEAUTY

The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
Isaiah 60:13 (KJV)

The place of Yahweh’s sanctuary is a beautiful place. It is made for glory and for beauty. It means that anyone that dwells around that region enjoys beauty and colour in their lives. Holiness is colourful and beautiful. Sin stinks. Adam was created a beauty to behold. His life was full of colour and glory. But as soon as sin arrives, Adam became naked. How beautiful is nakedness? Nobody on their right mind advertises nakedness. It is shameful to be naked. Purity gives birth to beauty. Nothing glorifies and beautifies like holiness. When the Church will rise in holiness and righteousness, there shall be beauty, heaven-decked beauty upon Zion. When we come to that point that men take covenant oaths, “If I perish, I perish, but I will live for the truth!” then we have arrived at the chores of the beauty and glory realms of the Church. Purity is the mother of beauty. Psalms 149:4 says, “He will beautify the meek with salvation.” What is salvation? Referring to the Lord Yahushua in Matthew 1:21, the Word says, “He shall save his people from their sins.” That means your beauty, true colour, and covenant colour emerges only when you are saved from sin. That is when your dominion and authority over sin is established, only then will your true beauty emerge. When sin goes, colour is established. I see your beauty emerging in a most powerful way!

WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS OFFERS (1): PROSPERITY, PROMOTIONS AND HONOUR

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Proverbs 14:34 (KJV)

Proverbs 14:23 says that in all labour there is profit. There is unquantifiable profits in labouring to live a holy and righteous life. Apart from the other benefits, you also enjoy divine presence continually because you are standing on the right foundation. Whereas sin brings a curse, righteousness brings blessings. Righteousness causes you to be planted in the very presence of Yahweh which guarantees your flourishing. Psalms 92:12 says, “The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.” No matter the drought in the land, the righteous shall flourish; his leaves will remain green. Just as Job flourished by righteousness, everyone that practises righteousness will flourish. Uprightness takes up. That was the testimony of Job. Job 1:1-3 says, “1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. 2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.” Righteousness was the reason for the height Job attained. Evil must die in your life, so the glory that Yahweh has mapped out for you will come out. Job became the greatest man in the land not through crookedness or perverseness, but through uprightness and godly perfection. He was scared of evil; he never touched it.

WHAT BRINGS THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

WHAT BRINGS THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Psalms 9:10 (KJV)

The fear of Yahweh comes from the knowledge of Yahweh, which is from knowing Yahweh. The Bible tells us that the beginning of wisdom and knowledge is the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” As Yahweh’s presence is revealed to us physically and spiritually we stand in awesome respect of His power and majesty. The children of Israel had an encounter with Yahweh that made an impression on them at Mount Sinai. Exodus 19:17-19 says, “17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. 19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.”

BENEFITS OF THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

BENEFITS OF THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
Psalms 128:1 (KJV)

What are the benefits of living a lifestyle of the fear of Yahweh? Why should I live with this trembling disposition before the Lord as a lifestyle? The treasures of the Kingdom is rooted in the fear of the Lord. Without the fear of the Lord, you have no chance with Yahweh. So, all the good things of life answers to the fear of the Lord in you. Firstly, according to our opening texts, the blessings of the Lord are only for those that fear Him (see Psalms 128:1-6). That blessing includes: a. That you labour and eat the labour of your hands. There are people labouring but others are eating it in the name of sickness or diseases or one case or the other. Psalms 128:2 says, “For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.” When you walk in the fear of the Lord, no devil can tamper with the labour of your hands. b. The fear of the Lord makes you a happy person. It ensures that the happenings in your life are those that bring you joy. No matter what the devil brings your way, it eventually ends in glory and in your favour. c. That it is well with you. This means that you enjoy good, beauty, better, bounty and prosperity. No evil occurrence. No activities of the enemy around you. d. That you are settled in marriage. No matter the curse of marital delay working in your family, the fear of the Lord ensures that you are settled gloriously and covenantly in marriage. Not just that, it guarantees your fruitfulness. No form of barrenness. Psalms 128:3 says, “Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.”

THE FEAR OF YAHWEH (B)

THE FEAR OF YAHWEH (B)

Then had the churches rest throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Acts 9:31 (KJV)

We are continuing from yesterday. We are looking at what the fear of the Lord really means. Firstly, we said that it is not figurative. Secondly, the Fear of the Lord is to understand Yahweh to the extent that you literally tremble in conducting your affairs as a person. What do you understand that evoke this fear? His Person, that Yahweh is not a player or joker. His holiness – that there is no unrighteousness with Him. His Position on sin – anything that goes contrary to His Word is sin and it is regarded as rebellion. His judgments – you see how He dealt with people that sinned before to determine your fate with Him. His justice – that he does not respect persons. Whatever you are makes absolutely no meaning with the Lord. II Chronicles 19:7 “Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.”

THE FEAR OF YAHWEH (A)

THE FEAR OF YAHWEH (A)

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men? …
II Corinthians 5:11 (KJV)

One of the things that is missing in the Church of nowadays is the fear of the Lord. The first thing to establish today is that there is no Old testament Yahweh and another New testament Yahweh. Another thing to note is that Grace is more grave than the law. It only gives you more rope to repent but it is just as grave and even more than the law. That is why you must understand that the same Yahweh in the Old testament that drove Adam and Eve from Eden (see Genesis 3:23-24); that cursed the ground for man (see Genesis 3:17-19); that razed down the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (see Genesis 19:24); that drown the whole earth of those days in flood and wiped them out (see Genesis 7:21-24); that wasted Pharaoh and his army in the red sea (see Genesis 14:28); that though He delivered the people from Egypt, wasted those that believe not in the wilderness (see Numbers 32:13); that though he swore a covenant to Israel, destroyed Israel and took them away in captivity according to His Word by His prophets (see I Chronicles 6:15); that though He loved the Son, looked away when He bore the sins of the world (see Mark 15:34); that slew Ananias and Sapphira for lying (see Acts 5:1-10); is still the same Yahweh you are dealing with today. He hates sin!!!!!!! He hates rebellion against His Word. Beloved, why did Yahushua come? It was because of sin and its consequences. How then do you think that you can receive eternal life and continue in sin? How then do you think that coming to Church is enough even though you continue to wallow in iniquity? You cannot be living in heaven and with Yahushua in the heavenly places and still be living a lifestyle of hell and Satan as your director. Impossible!

THREATS TO HOLINESS (A)

THREATS TO HOLINESS (A)

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive?
Ephesians 4:14 (KJV)

Satan is the architect of sin. When Yahweh made man, He communicated His Spirit to man which had all the attributes of Yahweh. So, man was a holy and perfect being at creation. Lucifer, an angel of Yahweh’s, did not get enough of Yahweh perfection and holiness. He wanted it all. He rebelled against Yahweh and lost all of what Yahweh gave him. He became Yahweh’s nemesis – renamed Satan. Ever since, Satan wishes for holiness’s ruin. He elicited the fall of Adam and Eve, depriving them of holiness. He continues on his rampage against holiness. He wants our help; he wants co-conspirators. And humanity is altogether too quick to comply, but that’s our nature because of the fall. Yahweh’s enemy employs five methods to ruin holiness: relativism, tolerance, liberty, contextualization and legalism.
