PILLARS OF KINGDOM PROSPERITY (1): GIVING (A)

But thou shalt remember the Lord thy Yahweh: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV)

We are going to look at the pillars of Kingdom Wealth. Kingdom Wealth answers to our lifestyle after new birth. What you do determines what Yahweh does for you. When you respond in obedience to the Word of Yahweh, you set the stage for Yahweh to unleash upon you what you cannot recover from all your days. Let us start this series with Giving. Giving is living. The way Yahweh prospers is different from the way the world prospers. What the world calls prosperity is how much you have; but in the kingdom of Yahweh, prosperity is determined by how much you give. We’re going to be looking at five dimensions of giving:

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (5): ADDICTION

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (5): ADDICTION

And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Yahweh of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
1 Kings 19:10 [KJV]

An addict is a person that has caused oneself to become dependent (on something, especially a narcotic drug). A Yahweh-addict is someone who has caused himself by an act of his will to become dependent on Yahweh and the interest of His kingdom. It is one thing to receive HaMashiach and eternal life into your spirit, then another thing to consecrate yourself for Yahweh’s use in your generation, then another thing to be deadly committed to the Lord Yahweh, then another thing to be excited in affection to the Lord Yahweh, then completely another to be an addict of Yahweh and His Kingdom. The addiction realm is the realm where Yahweh swears a blessing on you and your generation by your display of affection. A Yahweh-addict has completely lost his mind to the will of Yahweh and the interest of His Kingdom. Yahushua HaMashiach operated in that realm when his brethren came to take him, exclaiming that He has lost his mind (See Mark 3:21). Yahushua was so addicted to Yahweh and the interest of His Kingdom that his friends took offence and accused him of having lost his mind. When you are addicted to Yahweh, even the devil can no longer ignore you because you become a heavy weight in the realm of the spirit. An addict uses his last cash to get the substance he is addicted to, he doesn’t care if the people of his household are starving, something else is controlling him. When you see a Yahweh-addict, nothing is too big for Yahweh.

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (4): AFFECTION

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (4): AFFECTION

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
Psalms 91:14 [KJV]

Affection is delightsome commitment – getting involved with excitement. This means that whatever involves Yahweh is not a burden to you. Serving Yahweh without affection, rather attracts a curse from Yahweh. So this foundation is critical. See what Yahweh says in Deuteronomy 28:47-48, ‘47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy Yahweh with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.’ It is a risk to hang around Yahweh without an affection for Yahweh. It is only responding to the Love of Yahweh that qualifies anyone for Kingdom prosperity. So you have to be delighted in Yahweh, you have to be excited! Yahweh loves a cheerful giver. That is, Yahweh doesn’t love just the giver, but the one that gives cheerfully. Giving therefore without being cheerful is wasting your seed. It has no future.

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (3): DEDICATION

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (3): DEDICATION

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
Proverbs 23:26 (KJV)

Yahweh is saying ‘give me your heart’, not ‘give me your cash’. When we talk about Kingdom prosperity, many people think of Yahweh asking you to give your money, but no, His demand is for your heart. Why is that important? Matthew 6:21 says that your treasure follows the direction of your heart. When it comes to Kingdom Prosperity, if your heart is not there, your cash is wasted. Dedication is being inseparably connected to Yahweh and His pleasures. It is being with Him at all times. It is being planted in the house of Yahweh (see Psalms 92:13-14). Your flourishing is a function of your being planted in the courts of our Yahweh. Dedication is being deadly committed as Bishop David Oyedepo will always define it. To “be planted” means to be committed. Do you find trees moving about? Wherever you find a tree today, that’s where you’ll meet it tomorrow. It’s planted. “Those who are planted…” That word “planted” explains what dedication is all about. Dedication guarantees a glorious future. Dedication is the mystery behind distinction. How dedicated you are determines how distinguished you will ever become in the kingdom. Isaiah 61:3 says, ‘…that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.‘

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (2): CONSECRATION

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (2): CONSECRATION

Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Isaiah 3:10 (KJV)

In life it is important to ensure the foundation is in order before going ahead to build. No matter what you build, if you don’t make sure the foundation is sure, you are just wasting your time. For us to ensure a solid kingdom prosperity, the first foundation salvation must be in place. You must ensure that you are genuinely saved. Psalm 3:11 says that if the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do? Today, we are dealing with another foundation material, consecration. 2 Timothy 2:19 introduces this foundation, “Nevertheless the foundation of Yahweh standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of HaMashiach depart from iniquity.” ‘Depart from iniquity’ is the foundation for every one of Yahweh’s provision for man. Until this foundation is in place, the principles of the Kingdom will never produce. If you don’t ensure this foundation, the teachings of this month cannot produce for you. Many people have the teachings but lack the results. Why? Because the foundation is faulty, so the principles appear untrue. The foundation is crucial to every structure. So as we proceed to build a strong, lasting prosperity structure, we need a good understanding of the foundation.
