THANKFUL HEART FOR JULY 2023
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.Luke 17:19 [KJV]
One of the striking things about our opening text is the fact that thanksgiving and praise provokes perfection of blessing. This is all the more important, because July is the month of rest and perfection. On the seventh month, the ark rested upon the mountain of Ararat (Genesis 8:4). On the seventh day the Lord rested from his work, therefore blessed he the seventh day and hallowed it (see Genesis 2:2-3). Today’s text shows us how to walk in a life of practical rest, wholeness and perfection. If you have started seeing the move of Yahweh at all in your life, then there is what to do to see the full bloom of that move. If you have started seeing the healing and strength like you have not seen before, then there is this one thing to concentrate on to see the fullness of that which Yahweh has started. That one thing is heart-felt thanksgiving and praise. Some even though Yahweh is on their case and working to bring them out of their predicament have turned him off by continuous murmuring, grumbling and complaining. You applied for a job, you were called for interviewed amidst hundreds of others. Just seeing the crowd that turned up for the interviewed ignited unbelief in you, “there is no how I stand a chance among so many”, then you continue with murmuring as usual. However, the fact that you were invited for interview is the hand of Yahweh at work in your favour which if you had noticed it and overflowed with thanksgiving, then it would be impossible for you not to have the job.

PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (7): THANKING
5 Let the people praise thee, O Yahweh; let all the people praise thee. 6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and Yahweh, even our own Yahweh, shall bless us.Psalms 67:5-6 (KJV)
Thanking is the seventh unshakeable strategy for unlimited prosperity. Giving glory to Yahweh is your final step into the realm of unlimited prosperity. In Isaiah 51:1-2, Yahweh said, “look at Abraham.” Watch and follow in his footsteps, then I will convert your wilderness into a garden of Eden.” Still talking about Abraham, Romans 4:18-20 says that Abraham was strong in faith, giving glory to Yahweh. It was his giving of glory that opened him up for his miracle. Nothing had happened, but he kept on giving glory to Yahweh, he considered not the deadness of his situation. 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. He was thankful to Yahweh even before he saw what he was believing Yahweh 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. You don’t praise after the increase has come, but before; it is the praise that provokes the increase. Abraham gave glory to Yahweh and then Yahweh responded.

PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (5): WAITING
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.Hebrews 6:15 (KJV)
We are looking at the mystery of waiting today. Kingdom prosperity is a function of the blessing which requires a great deal of patience. 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 Christian”, 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 this: quick prosperity will always end in grievous austerity, because it lacks the required foundation for lasting results.

PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (4): TRUSTING
O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Psalms 34:8 (KJV)
Kingdom prosperity is a result of the blessing. We are going to see today how trusting connects us to the blessing. Quite a number believe Yahweh, 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. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is (see Jeremiah 17:7). Trusting is the highway to continuous triumph. In Matthew 6:31, Yahushua said: 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. ‘Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.’ (Jeremiah 17:5) Friend, you need to come into that realm of trusting, it is the realm of continuous triumph. If you want to enjoy true prosperity, you have to enjoy the mystery of trusting Him.

PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (3): THINKING
‘For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: …’
Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)
Thinking, in this context, is the ability to co-ordinate thoughts productively for increased output. Reasoning is what makes rich. Working alone does not make for wealth, it is wise work that begets wealth. A man may be labouring, but because he lacks results, he becomes wearied. He knows what to do, but doesn’t know how to do it. It is the knowledge of how to do a thing that gets it done, not just the doing of it. It’s not just work, but wise work, that makes for wealth (See Ecclesiastes 10:15). That wisdom element of our labour, in most cases, is the missing link that causes us to work and work, without having any result. Remember, our giving does not equal plenty on its own. Giving connects us to the blessing, while working helps us take delivery of the blessing. And if we are wise workers, then we can take greater delivery of His blessings. Thinking is liken to what Yahushua said about sitting down to count the cost of whatever you are doing. Thinking through to solutions and methodology that will deliver the best result in your undertakings. Yahushua said no one builds a tower without first sitting down to generate, create and analyse ideas (see Luke 14:28). There’s a place for sitting still to locate the treasures in the Word, to bring forth ideas that will enhance productivity.

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.
