THE WORD DEFINES YOUR PROSPERITY

THE WORD DEFINES YOUR PROSPERITY

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
III John 1:2 (KJV)

It is important to understand that your prosperity is not a function of the work you do, nor is it dependent on the economy of the nation you reside in. The economic climate of your environment has nothing to do with it. The details of your prosperity is a function of the Will of Yahweh that is available in the Word of Yahweh. Until you understand this, you will continue to make your projections based on the budget of your government or the economy. The Word of Yahweh is the Will of Yahweh and the details of your prosperity is explicitly penned down in there. For most part, the dilemma of people is ignorance of the provisions of the Will. How on earth, can you achieve what you never even knew existed for you? I was told of a young man who at a time was living in Abuja Nigeria in one of the outskirts of town with his mother. He never knew his father. One day, one man came looking for him. He asked him, ‘are you so so and so’? He answered to the affirmative and the man that came for him explained to him that though he does not know his father, his father was a very rich man in Lagos and is now late. However, in his will, an estate in Lekki Lagos was bequeathed to him. He took the man to his mother who confirmed that yes, the said man was his father. Though he had an inheritance, he and his mother was living in poverty and in poverty stricken area in Abuja. From that day, his life and economy changed. Beloved, you cannot do anything about what you don’t know existed for you.

THE TECHNICALITIES OF YAHWEH’S WILL

THE TECHNICALITIES OF YAHWEH’S WILL

For where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven.
Hebrews 9:16 [NET]

It is important to understand that Yahweh is our Father. We all hailed from Yahweh. We came from Yahweh. Acts 17:24-25 indicates that He gave all of us life and breath. Verse 29 of Acts 17 says that we are the offspring of Yahweh. Everyone on earth was created by Yahweh. So, those championing the population reduction agenda are obviously out of the will of Yahweh because Yahweh made every single soul and has made adequate provision for their prosperity. When Yahweh placed man on earth, he gave him dominion over the earth. He gave him authority to govern the earth and enjoy prosperity. However, man lost that dominion to the devil. Why is there poverty today? It is simply the result of man’s lose of dominion and authority to the devil. Sin is at the root of penury. The same thing that brought sickness, also brought poverty and that is sin, disobedience and iniquity. To solve the poverty problem requires to remove the cause in the first place. This is exactly what the Father Yahweh accomplished in the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach when He came, died, rose from the dead and ascended to heaven. Yahushua HaMashiach paid the price for the redemption of man. That price delivered man from sin and its consequences – sickness, poverty, servitude to the powers of hell, etc.

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!

THANKFUL FOR JUNE 2023

THANKFUL FOR JUNE 2023

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
II Samuel 22:50 [KJV]

Colossians 3:17 says, ‘And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.’ Whatever you do in word or deed, give thanks to God. Thanksgiving is what brings perfection to whatever you do in word or deed. For instance, prayer is not acceptable without thanksgiving accompanying it (see Philippians 4:6). Thanksgiving is the common denominator for a life of wonders. From 1st June to this last day of June, we have seen the hand of Yahweh releasing deluge of His Word daily for us. The Word has not been scarce at all and for that we owe Him thanks. Here at #WordForTodayDevotional, we dedicate the last day of the month as our thanksgiving day, where we celebrate the grace of Yahweh that has led us thus far in the month. If you are joining us for the first time, get set to thank Yahweh abundantly today, II Thessalonians 2:13, says that we are bound to give thanks to Yahweh always. It is a duty we owe the Lord. Itemize the things for which you are going to be giving thanks and in the list could be items that are yet to be done. Thank Yahweh profusely for them. As you are thanking Yahweh for what you are expecting Him to do, you are prophesying to that item that it is already done. Let see some benefits of returning to the Lord with thanksgiving:

THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE

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.

THE STIMULANT FOR PRAISE

THE STIMULANT FOR PRAISE

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil
Psalms 119:162 (KJV)

The Word of life is the greatest stimulant for unending praise. Yahweh’s Word is the energy required for a life of praise. Just catch it, celebrate it, and you are on your way up! “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” (Psalms 119:165) That is why those who are hooked up to the Word are not edgy or easily provoked, but are balanced in their approach to the things of life. They are not controlled or ruled by what they see. Rather, they are ruled by what is written, what they have seen in the Word of Yahweh. In every situation they can see Yahweh saying, “I have a way out for you.” So they keep celebrating the ways of Yahweh, before it becomes “flesh”. Your affection for the Word of Yahweh is what determines the quality of your praise. This is because you praise Him, not for happenings in your life, but for what is written. Your confidence in the Word will command rest in your life; and rest is what provokes praise.

RENDER ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (3): BY LIVING IN THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

RENDER ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (3): BY LIVING IN THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: …
Habakkuk 1:13a (KJV)

For your praise to be acceptable and satisfactory, you must deal with every enmity between you and Yahweh. The same Yahweh that responds to prayer is the same One that responds to praise. If when you hide iniquity in your heart, He does not hear your prayers (see Psalms 66:18), will He now celebrate you in praise? Yahweh’s eyes cannot behold evil. This attribute of Yahweh is what provoked the Psalmist to ask: ‘Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.’ (Psalm 15:1-3) Righteousness is your gateway to enjoying any benefit from Yahweh. Since He won’t behold iniquity, your praises to Him in iniquity won’t be acceptable before Him. He couldn’t even behold His only begotten Son on the cross when He bore the sins of the whole world upon Himself, how then would He listen to you when you praise Him in sin?

RENDER ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (2): BY LIVING WITH A JOYFUL HEART

RENDER ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (2): BY LIVING WITH A JOYFUL HEART

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
James 5:13 (KJV)

What makes praise melodious or noise to Yahweh is the heart from where it is emanating. II Chronicles 16:9 says that the eyes of the LORD runs to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. A king Amaziah did what was right but not with a perfect heart, so what he did was discounted (see II Chronicles 25:2). It is only praise that comes from a merry heart that is satisfactory. You are not qualified to sing until your heart is merry. Until you are full of joy or showing high-spirited playfulness, you are not qualified to sing. If you have followed the devotional from first of June, you would have seen that real praise can only be done from a joyful, grateful heart. It goes most times with demonstrations, like Yadah, would require you to throw your hands up in adoration; halal will require you to praise with reckless abandon and be clamorously foolish in both your eyes and that of others. You can never do those things, if you are depressed or moody. The foundation and requirement for acceptable praise is a joyful grateful heart. Until that is in place, it is noise that you are making before the Lord. You can sing without actually praising Yahweh. Many people sing for different reasons and with different motives in their hearts, which make their songs of no effect.

RENDER ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (1): BY LIVING IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH

RENDER ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (1): BY LIVING IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 4.24 (KJV)

For praise to be acceptable, it must be offered by the living. The dead cannot praise Yahweh. ‘The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.’ (Isaiah 38:19). But then there is a problem. Yahweh told Adam in Genesis 2:17, ‘for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.’ Guess what? Adam actually ate that fruit and died. From that day, humanity ceases to be qualified to praise Yahweh because only the living can praise Yahweh. Man died and became separated from Yahweh. Goodnews! Yahushua came, died, was buried, rose on the third day and ascended to heaven where He is interceding for us now. If anyone surrenders to Yahushua HaMashiach he/she is quickened by the Spirit of HaMashiach and recreated. This experience we call being ‘born again’ is the only way man can be alive towards Yahweh and therefore, qualified to praise Him. Until you are quickened back to life and recreated by the Holy Spirit, you cannot praise Yahweh; you are dead in trespasses (see Ephesian 2:1-4). Why do you need Yahushua HaMashiach? The problem is not just the act of sin, but the nature of sin. Even if you claim that you have not sinned, you are still dead in sin because you inherited the nature of sin from Adam. When the Spirit of HaMashiach recreates you, you come alive with a new nature of righteousness not because of what you have done but because of the price Yahushua HaMashiach paid for sin.

OBSTACLES TO ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (6): NEGATIVE PAST

OBSTACLES TO ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (6): NEGATIVE PAST

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

Isaiah 43:18 (KJV)

Negative past talks about events in your past that when you remember them, you are full of hurt, resentment, hate, vengeful, bitter and depressed. The habit of looking back at past failures is an enemy of praise. You can’t live a life of praise until you let go of the negative past. For instance, if you are driving a car forward, and rather than facing your front, you concentrate on looking backward, you know of course that you are heading for a ghastly motor accident. Lay all the troubles of the past to rest! If you have lost anything, He is the reason why you have not lost everything. You can’t praise Him with burdens. Looking at your negative past all the time will make things negative in your life. Let them go! The Bible says anyone who puts his hand on the plough and looks back, is not worthy of the kingdom (see Luke. 9:62). That means he is not fit for the blessings of the kingdom.
