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

2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Ephesians 6:2-3 (KJV)

We shall continue the discussion of the giving dimensions. These giving dimensions provide avenue to release what you have in your hand in order to connect what Yahweh has in store for you.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (9): YAHWEH’S GLORY BECOMES YOUR PROTECTION

… the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward.Isaiah 58:8 (KJV)

Everybody that has been with Adonai on the mountain always returns with His glory on their lives. Glory is the aura of divinity manifest in our humanity. Glory is the presence of Yahweh radiating in our lives. Glory is the glow of the Spirit of Yahweh on the soul of a person that impacts on both his countenance and disposition. The Hebrew word for glory is ‘Kabowd’ which means weight, splendour or glorious. That means that you develop weight when you stay in Yahweh’s presence that no satanic activity can dare to move you. Your countenance is resplendent as a result of dwelling in Yahweh’s presence in fasting. This was Moses’ experience whose physical face was shining from the glory of Yahweh’s presence. People couldn’t look at his face. Just as the natural eyes cannot look into the face of the sun, the glory of Yahweh was on Moses that much that people couldn’t behold his face. This can be your experience too. Whether your physical face shine as was the case with Moses or not, there is a spiritual glory presence that comes upon you as you fast. There is a weight you gain spiritually speaking in a fast that separates you far from oppression.

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?

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (3): TALKING

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (3): TALKING

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea? and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass? he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mark 11:23 (KJV)

This is the law of faith, “you shall have whatsoever you say”. Your mouth is the channel through which you sign your spiritual check for withdrawal. Whatsoever you sign is delivered to you both positive and negative. If you look into your life now, your outcome is a product of your words. This is an inevitable law. In Numbers chapter 13, we read of the spies that went to spy Canaan. When they returned, ten of them said, “… We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” (Numbers 13:31). And truly, all that generation that said that they be not able to enter the promised land, ended their journey in the wilderness. According to their words, they were not able to enter into that land. In Numbers 14:28 Yahweh told Moses “Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:” Whatever you say, whether positive or negative becomes your portion, it is only a matter of time. Caleb and Joshua said “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” (Numbers 13:30). The two were the only ones that entered into Canaan from that older generation. Your talking is your life. Your life flows in the direction of the your confession.

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (2): CREATIVE THINKING

3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Proverbs 24:3-4 (KJV)

Until you think through, you cannot breakthrough. Thinking is a function of wisdom. Many of us are a concern to Yahweh. This is because the things we cry about don’t require tears at all. They just require taking the appropriate steps, and then walking into victory. But when you don’t know what steps to take, how do you take them? I’d like you to know that Yahweh has made every provision available for us to exercise our minds so we can excel in life. The creative abilities in us will only come to light with the adequate exercising of our senses. It is strong meat for strong destiny. Hitherto many have thought that sense knowledge is contrary to scriptural or spiritual knowledge. But without a good sense knowledge, you can’t understand the things of the spirit. Your spirit can’t instruct your body, it is your mind that does that; because the body only responds to instructions from the mental region. Your spirit illuminates your mind, passing on information to it, and then your mind dispatches it to the body, for appropriate actions. Please understand this: how much mental exercise you engage in determines how much you will excel in life. Remember, wisdom begets wealth. It is reasoning that makes rich!

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

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

Give, and it shall be given unto you? good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Luke 6:38 (KJV)

Covenant giving is the highway of abundance in this Kingdom. The law of seed-time and harvest is also called the law of giving. Giving is like sowing seeds into the ground. The ground you are sowing the seed matters a lot to the harvest that you can expect. That is why it is not every giving that produces harvest. It is only covenant giving that produces bountiful harvest. Covenant giving is that giving that is in line with the Word. Covenant giving is that giving that is commanded by the Word. When you give according to the Word, then you are assured of a bountiful returns. Covenant giving starts with the tithe. The tithe is ten percent of the increase of Yahweh upon your life and business/career. 10% of $100 is $10. That is how simple it is. Tithe is a debt you are owing Yahweh that is why if you refuse to pay, it is regarded as robbery (see Malachi 3:8-12). When you pay your tithe, you provoke the heavens opened over you and your finances and indeed everything that concerns you. When you don’t pay your tithe, you incurred the curse of the Lord released upon the thief (see Zechariah 5:1-4). You also close the heaven over you and expose yourself to the devourer. It is better imagined than experienced. If you are in this Kingdom of HaMashiach and you are not faithful in tithing, you are doing yourself a great disservice. In the new testament, it is our high priest Yahushua that receives the tithe (see Hebrews 7:8).

CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (11): BELIEVES ALL THINGS

CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (11): BELIEVES ALL THINGS

… is ever ready to believe the best of every person, …
1 Corinthians 13:7 (AMPC)

The word translated as “believes” in the second phrase is “pisteu.” The New Testament Greek Lexicon meaning for the word includes: to think to be true, to be persuaded of, to credit, place confidence in, to trust, etc. Once again, Apostle Paul is speaking about our relationships within the body of HaMashiach. Apostle Paul is not calling for a foolish gullibility. However, being guarded against the possibility of being taken advantage of is not correct either. Obviously, this does not mean that we are to lose all discernment when we love someone. In fact, Apostle Paul prays for the Philippians to have a love characterized by discernment. In Philippians 1:9-10 (NKJV), we read, ‘And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,’

So what does “believes all things” mean? It means that we are to have confidence in the one we love, to trust them and to always give them the benefit of the doubt, believing the best of them. It is a relationship that is not filled with suspicion, but trust. We use an expression today, “innocent until proven guilty,” that can apply here. Imagine what that does for a person to be loved like that, to be trusted and believed, to know that they have someone’s confidence. Does this mean that we leave ourselves vulnerable to being disappointed or betrayed? Yes. However, the benefits of a love like this far outweigh the risks. Knowing that I am loved like this inspires me to live up to it.
