HINDRANCES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (1): THE WAYSIDE SYNDROME

HINDRANCES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (1): THE WAYSIDE SYNDROME

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
Matthew 13:4 (KJV)

We shall start to examine the things that stop us from accessing, receiving and walking in the light of the Word. The Lord Yahushua told a parable in the book of Matthew chapter 13 of a sower that went to the field to sow seeds. In interpreting that parable to His disciples, we saw that the seed is the Word of Yahweh (see Luke 8:11). The field is the world. As you hear the Word of the Lord by reading, studying or listening, it is likened to a sower sowing the seed into your heart. Until the seed germinates, grows and bears fruit, it has not achieved the purpose of the sower. The fruits of the Spirit, the fruits of a changed life and the fruit of complete obedience to the Word is what we call the Word building you up and the result is that you enter into your inheritance in HaMashiach. But what is the cause why so many people miss the Word? Let us examine what the Lord Yahushua explained in Matthew 13:19, ‘When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.’ Some seeds fail by the wayside. The wayside is the heart that hears the Word but does not understand it. Let us understand that it is same Word that is being sown, the variance is the ground. So whose fault was it that this ground never understood the Word? It was the fault of the ground. These are the set of people that never heed the Word. They never pay attention to the Word. They never take a hold of it. In the first place, the wayside is not meant to be sown so existing on the wayside is planning ab initio to fail with the Word. They come before Yahweh as his people come, and sit before Him as his people sit; but it is merely for fashion-sake, to see and be seen; they mind not what is said. It comes in at one ear and goes out at the other, and makes no impression.

Because of this set of people’s nonchalance with the Word, they become easy prey to the wicked one. Such mindless, careless, trifling hearers are an easy prey to Satan; who, as he is the great murderer of souls, so he is the great thief of the Word, and will be sure to rob us of the word, if we take not care to keep it: as the birds pick up the seed that falls on the ground that is neither ploughed before nor harrowed after. If we break not up the fallow ground, by preparing our hearts for the word, and humbling them to it, and engaging our own attention; and if we cover not the seed afterwards, by meditation and prayer; if we give not a more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, we are as the highway ground. Note, the devil is a sworn enemy to our profiting by the word of Yahweh; and none do more befriend his design than heedless hearers, who are thinking of something else, when they should be thinking of the things that belong to their peace. Selah!

REMEMBER: Wayside hearers are those who have not prepared their hearts for the Word, hence do not understand it.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I receive the grace to heed the Word as I read and listen to it from now in the precious name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: You shall never be found in the wayside of life but your heart shall be the good ground prepared and understanding the Word in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (3): PHYSIOLOGICAL CLEANSING OF THE BODY (B)
#WordForTodayDevotional

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (3): PHYSIOLOGICAL CLEANSING OF THE BODY (B)

Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.
Hebrews 12:11 (NASB)

Fasting is a physiological process and would rid the body of most diseases. We are going to see some scientifically backed process that happens in our body when we fast. They include as we continue from yesterday:
1. Increases Growth Hormone Secretion, Which Is Vital for Growth, Metabolism, Weight Loss and Muscle Strength: Human growth hormone (HGH) is a type of protein hormone that is central to many aspects of your health. In fact, research shows that this key hormone is involved in growth, metabolism, weight loss and muscle strength (¹⁰, ¹¹, ¹², ¹³). Several studies have found that fasting could naturally increase HGH levels. One study in 11 healthy adults showed that fasting for 24 hours significantly increased levels of HGH.¹⁴ Another small study in nine men found that fasting for just two days led to a 5-fold increase in the HGH production rate.¹⁵ Plus, fasting may help maintain steady blood sugar and insulin levels throughout the day, which may further optimize levels of HGH, as some research has found that sustaining increased levels of insulin may reduce HGH levels.¹⁶
2. Could Delay Aging and Extend Longevity: Several animal studies have found promising results on the potential lifespan-extending effects of fasting. In one study, rats that fasted every other day experienced a delayed rate of aging and lived 83% longer than rats that didn’t fast.¹⁷ Other animal studies have had similar findings, reporting that fasting could be effective in increasing longevity and survival rates (¹⁸, ¹⁹, ²⁰).
3. May Aid in Cancer Prevention and Increase the Effectiveness of Chemotherapy: Animal and test-tube studies indicate that fasting may benefit the treatment and prevention of cancer. In fact, one rat study found that alternate-day fasting helped block tumor formation.²¹ Similarly, a test-tube study showed that exposing cancer cells to several cycles of fasting was as effective as chemotherapy in delaying tumor growth and increased the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs on cancer formation.²²
If you however, have a serious organic ailment, fast under the watch of your medical doctor. The author has read of cancer testimonies disappearing after long fast. Apply wisdom and be sensitive both to your health and the Holy Spirit.

REMEMBER: There are unquantifiable health benefits from fasting.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I receive grace not to be a hearer only but to be a doer of the work that fasting requires in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that your youth is being renewed as you fast in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

SCRIPTURAL FASTING

#WordForTodayDevotional

Friday, January 5, 2024

SCRIPTURAL FASTING

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:16 (KJV)

There are three activities that are non-negotiable for the believer. They are a matter of when and not if. First is giving. Second is praying and the third is fasting. These activities are a matter of living for the believer. You cannot live the life of HaMashiach (Christ, Messiah, the Anointed one) without giving, praying and fasting. So many have chosen giving and praying and forsaken fasting and that accounts for the powerlessness in the Church today. With all that Yahushua is, he needed to fast for forty days, that should tell you that fasting is a must, it is a matter of when and not if. Until you fast, you cannot connect the power to fulfill your destiny on earth. Until you fast, there are what Yahushua called “this kind” that cannot be solved in your life (see Matthew 17:21). You should be fasting as often as you are praying and giving. Everybody in all ages that have connected with power with Yahweh fasted. Fasting does not change Elohim but fasting changes you.

One of the things that stops our access to Yahweh is the workings of the flesh. The carnal nature of man works against him in connecting with Yahweh. Romans 8:6-8 says, ‘6 For to be carnally minded is death? but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.’ What fasting does is to deal with the flesh so well that your spirit can rise to connect with the Spirit of Yahweh. A 21-day fast will help you crucify the flesh and give you access into the horizon of communication with Elohim that you never knew was possible.

Isaiah 58:6-8 implies that fasting must of necessity go with prayer. Verse 6 says, ‘Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?’ This is done as you pray to loose the bands of wickedness. So acceptable fasting includes prayer. Fasting without prayer is hunger strike. Isaiah 40:31 describes fasting as waiting upon the Yahweh. This means that most times of your fast should be in quiet expectation in His presence for what the Elohim might say or show to you. This is waiting upon Yahweh; fixing your gaze upon Elohim in expectation. Major part of this waiting on Elohim is reading, studying and meditating on His Word. As you do this during your fast, you are illuminated. Psalms 119:105 says, ‘Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’ Elohim’s word begins to enlighten your feet, showing you what to do on pressing issues of your life. This is what scriptural fast is all about.

REMEMBER: Scriptural fast is crucifying the flesh, praying, waiting and being enlightened by the Word.

CONFESSION: I am a product of the Word of Yahweh therefore, I am conscious that therein lies my life, future and development. As I wait upon Elohim, my paths are enlightened. Glory be Yahweh.

PROPHETIC RELEASE: From today fasting shall be the delight of your soul in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

WHAT IS DIVINE DIRECTION?

#WordForTodayDevotional

Saturday DECEMBER 2, 2023

WE SERVE A SPEAKING GOD

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
Isaiah 45:19 [KJV]

We serve a speaking Yahweh. Yahweh said in Number 12:8 concerning Moses, ‘With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold:’ This Month you must be convinced beyond a shadow of doubt that the Yahweh that you serve speaks. Moses went to the mountain for 40 days fellowshipping with Yahweh and Yahweh was giving us hint of their communication when He said that He spoke with Moses mouth to mouth. I want you to crave that order of communion with your heavenly Father. If it happened to Moses, then it can and should happen to you. Yahweh Speaks and He desires to speak with you mouth to mouth. Whatever is written is written for our admonition (see I Corinthians 10:11). In this month, we are going to learn how Yahweh speaks to us and how He told us to seek His direction.

Yahweh is a spirit and He speaks in the spirit (see John 4:23-24). This is how the prophets heard Yahweh. As the Holy Spirit of Yahweh moved, these men and women heard Yahweh in the spirit and spoke out what they heard (see II Peter 1:21). In the course of the month, we shall see that the voice of Yahweh which is heard in the spirit can seem so audible and loud to you that you would think that people around heard it. It happened to Saul on the road to Damascus. Acts 22:7 says, ‘And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.’ The voice that spoke to Saul of Tarsus was so loud and audible to him but to his amazement, those folks with him heard nothing. When Yahweh speaks, He speaks in the spirit which if He opens your spiritual ears to hear that voice, would be so audible to you that you would think that folks close to you heard it.

Even though Yahweh speaks, we are not to seek to hear the voice of Yahweh because it could expose the untrained to the voices in the spiritual realms that are not of Yahweh. We are going to see that the primary way Yahweh leads us is through the inward witness and that is what as a Christian you should seek to receive concerning any matter you are looking up to Yahweh for direction. Then as you train your human spirit in the Word, you would be able to decipher between the voice of the Holy Spirit and the voice of either your flesh or the devil. There are voices in the spiritual realm, don’t seek voices, it could lead you to being accommodated by Satan’s deception. Remember, Satan has no power but the power of deception. Satan can speak to you in your spirit and you would think it is Yahweh and because you really heard it, you may not be easily persuaded that it is not of Yahweh. So caution, don’t seek voices. Seek to receive a witness in your spirit in line with the Word of Yahweh. Shalom!

REMEMBER: We serve a Yahweh that speaks.

CONFESSION: This month of December shall favour me in all areas. I shall be trained to hear and recognize the voice of Yahweh. I believe that my Yahweh speaks and that He wants to speak to me. My ears opens to hear Him now! Halleluyah!!!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: The Lord shall crown this end for you with His goodness. May He give you an encounter with His voice in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

#WordForTodayDevotional

Friday November 3, 2023

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:26 [KJV]

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the trinity. We saw that He was a major force in the creation of the world. Genesis 1:2b says ‘…And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.’ The Holy Spirit is a person with all the attributes of a person. The Holy Spirit has feelings as a person. Isaiah 63:10 says, ‘But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.’ You can annoy him and make him sad. You can blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Matthew 12:31 says, ‘Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.’ You can resist the Holy Spirit. Acts 7:51 says, ‘Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.’ You can insult the person of the Holy Spirit. See what Hebrews 10:29 (NET) says, ‘How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for the Son of God, and profanes the blood of the covenant that made him holy, and insults the Spirit of grace?’ You can grieve the Holy Spirit by the way you live. Ephesians 4:30 says ‘And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.’

We are trying to put the Holy Spirit in such perspective that humans can understand who He is, but the truth is that you cannot comprehend in full who the Holy Spirit is in this human form. It is absolutely impossible for a mortal mind to comprehend the fullness of who the Holy Spirit is. Beyond whatever you can hear and learn about the Holy Spirit, just know that this awesome person we refer to as the Holy Spirit is far beyond what human mind and words can articulate. The Holy Spirit is the force behind creation. The presence and move of the Holy Spirit is the atmosphere that the Word grows under. The Holy Spirit is called ‘The Angel of His presence’ (see Isaiah 63:9-10). He is the one that brings the presence of Yahweh and makes it real to you. In the Old Testament, He represented the Father and the Bible calls Him ‘The Angel of His presence.’ The word ‘angel’ is translated from the word that also means ‘messenger.’ In other words, He is the Messenger or the Conveyor of Yahweh’s presence. He is the One Who carries the presence of Yahweh from place to place all over the world, and He brings that presence to you now. That’s the reason we can know Yahushua is real; that’s the reason we can believe in the Word of Yahweh.

The Holy Spirit is exactly like Yahushua. He does not receive power from Yahweh. In fact, He is the POWER of Yahweh! The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father. He is not less than the Father, nor is He less than Yahushua. He proceeds from the Father.

REMEMBER: The Holy Spirit is the Spirit and Power of the Father.

PRAYER: Beloved Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask that you open my eyes and mind to see and know the Holy Spirit personally and intimately in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that your days of functioning as a wonder by the power of the Holy Spirit just arrived for you in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

THE PERILS OF VISIONLESSNESS

#WordForTodayDevotional

Thursday October 12, 2023

THE PERILS OF VISIONLESSNESS

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

Let us see several Bible translations of Proverbs 29:18. NLT says, “When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.” Easy-to-read Version (ERV) says, “If a nation is not guided by God, the people will lose self-control, but the nation that obeys God’s law will be happy.” GNB says, “A nation without God’s guidance is a nation without order. Happy are those who keep God’s law!” The Passion Translation(TPT) says, “When there is no clear prophetic vision, people quickly wander astray. But when you follow the revelation of the Word, heaven’s bliss fills your soul.” CEV says, “Without guidance from God law and order disappear, but God blesses everyone who obeys his Law.” Let’s collate these translations cited. What it is all about is that without vision, you perish, run wild, lose self-control, exist orderless, wander astray, and experience the disappearance of law and order in your life. I think these different translations have given us in details the dangers of living without vision. This perish is both in time and ultimately in eternity. It is vision that makes you keep eternity in view in your day to day operations. That is why perishing is inevitable without vision because just like New Living Translation (NLT) tells us, you would run wild. You will begin to live like every other person, “let us eat and drink, tomorrow we die.” (see Isaiah 22:13). You can run wild into alcoholism, pornography, sexual pervasions of all manner, squandermania, and all manner of unprintable addictions. All these are the product of lack of visions, people running wild.

Without vision, people lose self-control. In career, business, family life and in spiritual life too, losing control is inevitable without vision. Imagine someone that opened a shop and by 10am, he/she is still sleeping at home. That is the manifestation of lack of vision. It is only a matter of time, before, he/she folds up and blame the witches in his/her father’s house and some fake prophets will help him/her to name it. But the bane of her life is not any witch, it is lack of vision. New King James Version (NKJV) says, “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.” The Word restraint is another word for discipline. Without vision, you will cast off restraint in all sphere of life. It is vision, that makes you to stand on your toes even when it is not convenient. Life of convenience is actually a life without vision. It is vision that brings discipline to your life.

The Word says, let everything be done decently and in order (see I Corinthians 14:40), but without vision, you will be without order (GNB). Your life will be without order. That means chaos will be the norm in your life. Without vision, you will wander astray. But why should you live without vision, when you can get one from the Lord? Selah!

REMEMBER: Without vision you perish, cast off restraint, run wild, lose self-control, exist orderless, wander astray, and experience the disappearance of law and order in your life.

CONFESSION: My life is ordered by vision. I am so focused so much that all the gates of hell are in trembling. I am poised to make my heavenly Father proud He sent me in this generation. Halleluyah!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Your days of existing without vision terminates today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (3): BY THE LAYING ON OF HANDS

#WordForTodayDevotional

Monday September 25, 2023

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (3): BY THE LAYING ON OF HANDS

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mark 16:18 (KJV)

It is important to clarify here and now that the healer is Yahushua HaMashiach. He is the Great Physician who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil. When Yahushua HaMashiach finished his earthly ministry, he gave us a person that is just like him called the Holy Spirit to continue his ministry. He commissioned the disciples that later were called apostles to go and preach and do all those things he was doing. He said, ‘as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.’ (John 20:21). Now Yahushua HaMashiach is in us in the person of the Holy Spirit. So whenever we walk according to the Word of Yahweh, whatever medium that He asked us to use per time, becomes the manifestation of the Spirit of Yahweh to effect the release of the Power of Yahweh. Today the Lord Yahushua is commanding us to lay our hands on the sick and that they will recover. When we walk in obedience and lay our hands, those hands becomes the extension of His hands because He lives in us by the Spirit of Yahweh.

If you are challenged and your faith could not handle it, then go to your pastor or anyone that the Holy Spirit would lead you to and have hands laid on you. Adonai gave us the ministry gifts; the apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists to build us up until we come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of HaMashiach. Ephesians 4:11-13 says, ‘ 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:’ James 5:14 says, ‘ Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:’ Elders here means those that are mature in the faith; who teach you the Word of Yahweh. It does not mean a man with gray hairs. Elders are those who labour in Word and Doctrine (see I Timothy 5:17). Your pastor is an elder. All the five-fold ministry gifts we mentioned above are elders and they can lay hands on you.

Please be careful who lays hands on you. Evil and men of Satan are everywhere and when they lay hands on you, your problems just multiplies because they are working for Satan even though they are still calling the name of Yahushua. So take responsibility and don’t be gullible. But when a man of Yahweh lays hands on you, the Holy Spirit confirms the Word by ensuring that you recover because the Word cannot be broken. And you know what? If you are baptised in the Holy Spirit, you can also lay hands on yourself. If there is any challenge in your body, take out time to pray in the tongues of the Spirit and when you sense the anointing, go ahead and lay hands on your head and command that stranger to disappear. Shalom!

REMEMBER: Anointed hands laid on the sick guarantees recovery.

CONFESSION: I am the saved, healed and delivered. I have no business whatsoever with sickness because my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Fullness of life is at work in my body and has made me a life-giver, that when I lay my hands on the sick, they recover immediately. Glory to YAHWEH!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: By your hands you shall not only be healed but you shall become anointed to check sickness back to hell as you lay hands on the sick in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

HOW TO CONQUER THE GOD OF GOLD (1): CONTENTMENT

#WordForTodayDevotional

Tuesday August 8, 2023

HOW TO CONQUER THE GOD OF GOLD (1): CONTENTMENT

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Luke 12:15 (KJV)

The hold of the god of gold is very strong in this generation that it demands siting down to see how to be delivered from its grips. When you go after the god of gold, you become a fool. Beware of covetousness! I Timothy 6:3-8 says, “3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness? 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” Contentment is the answer to covetousness. Until you are contented, you will remain covetous. Godliness with contentment will lead to the realms of great gain in life. Covetousness is ungodly. It is a sin! It corrupts godliness. But contentment will discipline and subdue it. Covetousness is one of the major ministries of the god of gold. Beloved, if you can arrest the god of gold, your beauty will emerge from heaven! The moment money is what determines your mood, you’re already enslaved by it! Look, if money is your reason for seeking Yahweh, you’ll be disappointed, because the scriptures cannot be broken.

I Timothy 6:9-10 says, “9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” Listen to me, what you have does not determine your value; who you are is what determines your worth! Your position with Yahweh is what determines your ultimate value among men. I’d like you to be determined in your heart. Subdue covetousness, renew your altar with Yahweh. Destroy the altar of financial corruption and stop living for money, so you don’t end up as a mourner! Why am I saying all these? We are in the days of plenty in Zion. The day of His jewels is at hand (see Malachi. 3:17). His silver and gold are being released to the Church. May it not be our trap!

Job was a man that feared El-Shaddai and eschewed evil, yet he became the greatest in all the east! Job is in heaven now, you too will make it! Righteousness does not demote, it exalts! But sin is a reproach to anybody. Righteousness is a promoter. Go and tell the truth! Deal in truth in your businesses and offices! Don’t partake in bribery and corruption, it can corrupt your destiny! Don’t give it, don’t take it! There is a future for you in Yahweh! Don’t sware falsely to make money! Tell the truth and you will triumph. Walk straight and your path will be straight. It’s a new day for you! Selah!

REMEMBER: Contentment is the cure for covetousness.

CONFESSION: My heart is free from the grip of the god of gold. Money has no place in my heart apart from its use to advance the kingdom and help humanity. Thank You Father!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive the grace for contentment now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

THANKFUL HEART FOR JULY 2023

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.

This one person in our opening verse, noticed that he was healed of the leprous disease, then he returned with a loud voice, overflowed with thanksgiving to the Lord Yahushua. There is a principle here for us to take to heart, WHENEVER YOU NOTICE THE MOVE OF GOD IN YOUR DIRECTION, RETURN QUICKLY WITH THANKSGIVING TO THE LORD TO SEE IT COMPLETED AND PERFECTED. Failure to do this, is risking the blessing already received and cutting off the process of perfection thereof. Your business has started picking up, don’t assume that you are doing the right thing now that is the reason, recognize that it is the hand of Yahweh at work in your direction. Have you started to see new lease of favour in your path of destiny? This is just the beginning if you would recognize the hand that provoked it for you and return with thanksgiving for that. This is the point where so many people disconnect. It is easy to congratulate oneself for the happenings in one’s life ignoring the Yahweh-factor. Doing that always ends up short-circuiting the blessing. Beloved, a man cannot receive anything except it is given to him from above (John 3:27). If there is anything good you have seen, then make no mistakes about it, the hand of Yahweh is the unseen hand behind it. Ignoring Yahweh and continuing as though it is all by your power is not wisdom; it will end in regrets.

It happened to the priests in Prophet Malachi’s days. They saw the blessing of Yahweh and thought that it was all by their expertise. See what the Lord told them in Malachi 2:1-2, ‘1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.’ Beloved, it is risky not to lay this fact to heart that it is the hand of Yahweh behind anything good you have seen in your life. Also it is the hand of Yahweh that has made the bad you have seen not to be worse than it is already. Bishop David Oyedepo says that if you have seen anything bad, Yahweh is the reason it is not worse, so give Him praise. Selah!

REMEMBER: Thanksgiving and praise is required to complete and perfect the blessing of Yahweh on your life.

THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, we are not worth of the least of your mercies. What shall we say for taking us through the whole month of July, no loss, no tears, we saw goodness and mercies, abundance of blessings in front and at the back. Thank You for your preservation, provision and supplies. Thank You for abundance of your Word this month. Thank You Lord for the release of fresh power to get wealth. To You alone be all the glory in the Name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Having returned with thanksgiving today, I declare that everything with your name on it still hanging be released now. There shall be no carryover of July releases in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

THE PLACE OF THE INTEGRITY IN KINGDOM PROSPERITY

#WordForTodayDevotional

Sunday JULY 23, 2023

THE PLACE OF THE INTEGRITY IN KINGDOM PROSPERITY

Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.Psalms 112:1 (KJV)

Integrity is a requirement to qualify for Kingdom Prosperity. Integrity implies being true to the Word of Yahweh; not double-faced, not double-tongued. Integrity is the quality of unity between you and the will of Yahweh. It is walking in the fear of the Lord. The fear of Yahweh is the foundation that makes your acting on the Word of Yahweh to produce. Job’s testimony (see Job 1:1-3) shows us that you don’t have to be crooked to get to the topmost top. Money is the context upon which this injunction “Fight the good fight of faith” in 1 Timothy 6:12 was given. Nothing corrupts more than money in today’s world. People scheming to play out one another. You must fight financial corruption or you die in it. The Bible says, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life”. That means money is wrestling against eternal life in your life. But godliness with contentment is great gain (see 1 Timothy 6:6-7). Financial corruption is a deadly attack from hell. Yahushua once said to a man, “This is money, this is heaven, choose one”, and the man said, “I take money!” Or how else would you explain that account in Mark 10:17-25? Yahushua told him, “Sell all you have and give to the poor and you will have eternal life”. But he said, “No, I don’t want eternal life, I want ‘eternal’ money!” He signed for suicide because of money.

Integrity guarantees plenty! All our covenant fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were people of integrity. Who then do you look like, playing pranks on account of money? There’s nothing in money to warrant anybody dying and laying his life on the line for. Many people need to be delivered from the bondage of financial corruption. Such people, when they see money, their bodies begin to vibrate. Their nerves are no longer at rest. Listen to me: you don’t love money to get it; you love Yahweh to be blessed! Lovers of money get lost, but lovers of Yahweh get increasingly blessed! Tomorrow is fantastic. All you need to do is live right today. If you live right today, you secure a future for yourself, and for generations coming after you. Don’t sell off your destiny, no! It’s too dangerous to your soul. If you remember Judas and Gehazi, you won’t do that! To buy something in your office and tender a forged receipt, you’re already under the chains of financial corruption! Why must you tie your destiny down? You don’t have to! It takes financial integrity to enjoy financial plenty.

What Yahweh has for you, no smartness of yours can get it for you. So, yield your life to Him, for you never get stranded with righteousness. “Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness…” (Psalm 112:4) There’s no embarrassment for the righteous in the kingdom. There’s always a way of escape. There’s always a future for the righteous. When you respond to His righteousness, Yahweh responds to you by filling your treasures (Prov. 8:18-21). Who will inherit substance? The people who follow the way of righteousness and the paths of judgement. Who will Yahweh fill up his treasures? The man who is filled with the righteousness of Yahweh.

REMEMBER: Walking in the fear of Yahweh is guarantee for Kingdom Prosperity.

CONFESSION: You have ordained me to lay up gold like dust and that is on the platform of righteousness. Therefore, I abhor all forms of dishonesty. I order my affairs in the fear of Yahweh, walking in integrity all my days. Glory to the Lord Yahushua!!!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you walk in integrity, you shall not see shame and reproach. I decree that whatever is a need in your life is supernaturally supplied now in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
