REMAINING A NEPIOS IS THE PROBLEM
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Galatians 4:3 (KJV)
Why are people who are born again; who have received eternal life into their spirit, who are heirs of Yahweh and joint-heirs with HaMashiach sick, afflicted and oppressed in their physical bodies? This is a question that comes up every time and thank Yahweh, we have light in the Word of Yahweh that answers it. Our opening text in context answers that question. Galatians 4:1 says, ‘Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;’ The born again person is an heir of Yahweh but as long as he is a child is not different from a slave. Tutors and house-helps can talk to him anyhow and order him around. Why? Because he is a child. The Greek word used is nepios meaning one who is immature, one that is simple-minded, one that is easily convinced; one that does not know how to speak. The elements of the world imply those things that are prevalent in the world; which include environmental hazards, effects of climatic changes, plagues, pandemics, sicknesses and diseases, etc. As long as you remain a child you are in bondage under the elements of the world. But you shouldn’t be because you are not of the world though you are in the world (see John17:16). You have been raised with Yahushua HaMashiach and seated in the heavenly places in HaMashiach and with HaMashiach. But because you don’t know it and is immature in speech, you cannot rule over the elements.
THE ORIGIN OF SICKNESS

THE ORIGIN OF SICKNESS
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 5:12 (KJV)
Wherever you see death, just know that included in that death package is sickness and disease. Sickness and disease are instruments of death. That is why, you must not treat the issues of your physical health with levity. When a person sees headache for instance (Yahweh forbid, not you), that person is being toasted by death. It is the spirit of death that is knocking and depending on how you handle that seemingly harmless headache, will determine if you will join your forefathers in the grave (Yahweh forbid, not you). But we are saying that to say that sickness and disease are just the effects of a cause – sin. In Genesis chapters one and two, there was no mention of sin and consequently no sickness. But when sin came in Genesis chapter three, death was birthed and when he death came, he brought his agents, sickness and disease. It is the offence of one Adam that brought sickness and disease and death. All glory to Yahweh, because that is not the end of the story.
THE HORRORS OF SIN (3): SICKNESS, DISEASE AND AFFLICTION

THE HORRORS OF SIN (3): SICKNESS, DISEASE AND AFFLICTION
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Isaiah 33:24 [KJV]
The root of sickness is iniquity. There was no sickness before sin came on the scene but as soon as sin reigned, sickness, disease and affliction became the lot of the depraved humanity. Every disease has its root in sin. Yahweh made provisions for everything in the Garden of Eden, but not for healing, because man was not created to be sick. But by one man sin came, and sin brought death, and everything that leads to death, including leukaemia, cancer, AIDS, name it (see Romans 5:12). The Lord Yahushua said, “Thy sins are forgiven thee” is the same thing as saying, “Arise and be healed” (see Matthew 9:6), because both sin and sickness have the same root. Every disease is a curse, and a curse is as a result of sin (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). The Bible calls all forms of sicknesses curses, whether fever, chest pain, bad eyesight, deafness, name it. No other theological or medical explanation can be stronger than what the Bible has to say. Sin is at the root of every disease; and until righteousness takes over, sickness will continue. So let go of sin, so you can enjoy eternal life in your health!
PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (2): WORKING

PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (2): 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.
THE MYSTERY OF ENVIRONMENT

THE MYSTERY OF ENVIRONMENT
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.Genesis 1:20 (KJV)
There is a truth the Spirit of the Lord wants to ingrain into your spirit indelibly and that is that you are created to function in the presence of the Lord. If you can understand this and begin to consciously practice His presence, you would have achieved the purpose of today’s word. Man’s ability to fulfil his purpose and to be all Yahweh intended him to be is predicated on the requirement that he obey the principles Yahweh established when He created human beings. The presence of Yahweh is the environment that your life and destiny is designed to function in order to be fully actualised. That is why nothing can satisfy the heart of man on earth. The economists says that human desires are insatiable. That is because on earth, nothing can fill the void in man that was designed to be filled only with the manifest presence of Yahweh.
OBSTACLES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (2): THE STONY HEART

OBSTACLES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (2): THE STONY HEART
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
Matthew 13:5 (KJV)
Some seeds fell upon stony places, which represents the case of hearers that go further than the wayside hearers, who receive some good impressions of the word, but they are not lasting. It is possible we may be a great deal better than some others, and yet not be so good as we should be; we may go beyond our neighbours, and yet come short of heaven. How far did the stony heart go? Firstly, they hear the word; they turn neither their backs upon it, nor a deaf ear to it. Note, hearing the word, though ever so frequently, ever so gravely, if we rest in that, will never bring us to heaven. Secondly, they are quick in hearing, swift to hear, he anon receiveth it, he is ready to receive it, forthwith it sprung up (vs. 5), it sooner appeared above ground than that which was sown in the good soil. Note, Hypocrites often get the start of true Christians in the shows of profession, and are often too hot to hold. He receiveth it straightway, without trying it; swallows it without chewing, and then there can never be a good digestion. Those are most likely to hold fast that which is good, that prove all things, (1 Thess. 5:21). Thirdly, they receive it with joy. Note, There are many that are very glad to hear a good sermon, that yet do not profit by it; they may be pleased with the word, and yet not changed and ruled by it. Fourthly, they endure for awhile, like a violent motion, which continues as long as the impression of the force remains, but ceases when that has spent itself. Note, Many endure for awhile, that do not endure to the end, (see Matt 10:22); they did run well, but something hindered them, (see Gal. 5:7).
PARTNERING WITH THE LORD INVOLVES (3): COMPELLING INVITATION

PARTNERING WITH THE LORD INVOLVES (3): COMPELLING INVITATION
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Luke 14:23 (KJV)
To compel is to force somebody to do something. There are people you will meet, that they themselves don’t know what they want. It is reality. The Lord Yahushua says compel them to come to my house that my house may be filled. A compelling invitation to the Lord Yahushua and to the Church is an invitation that literally moves the invitees to the Church. You pull off every form of resistance to that invitation. “Oh I don’t have money to come”, you pull out cash and give for transport. You do everything to necessitate compliance to the invitation. Beloved, the Lord Yahushua has said that you should compel them to come. You should never attend Church without someone following you. When you go to Church and see any empty seat, then you are reminded of the instruction to compel them to come so that my house may be filled. Ensure that someone is going to church with you. “Come and see Yahushua today” and ensure that there is no objection to that invitation. You have all it takes to make a compelling invitation.
