DIVIDENDS OF PRAISE (4): YAHWEH’S MANIFEST PRESENCE
It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord;
II Chronicles 5:13 (KJV)
Praise is the vehicle that conveys anyone into Yahweh’s presence. Yahweh inhabits the praise of His people (see Psalms 22:3). Whenever anyone wants to experience God’s presence, all that is required is to enter with thanksgiving and go on with singing praises to the Lord from the heart, then His presence is provoked. When Yahweh arrives what happens?
1. Everything holding you quakes out. There is earthquake when Yahweh arrives at the scene. Paul and Silas were thrown into the prison for preaching the gospel but at midnight, they praised Yahweh. As Yahweh visited the prison to inhabit their praise, there was great earthquake so that the foundation of the prison was shaken (see Acts 16:25-26). Praise builds a house for the presence of the Lord and when He arrives, whatever is harassing your life must be shaken out by fire. That is the wonder of praise. It has the capacity to bring Yahweh on the scene who in turn sets you free from every harassment of the enemy.

THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (2): BRINGS MERCY
“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”
Jude 1:21 (KJV)
Beloved, after this month in this #WordForTodayDevotional, you will never have any reason to hold down your head any more in life. The love of the Father has procured His mercy upon you. By that love, you have become the object of His mercy. This is mind-blowing to say the least. Romans 9:22-23 says, “23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?” The Father’s love has made us the vessels of mercy. That means that there is nothing that runs in your generation that should be part of your life. There is no wrath of the enemy or even the curse of Yahweh (if any) on your lineage that should be part of your experience today. This is because you are now the vessel of His mercy. His love has brought us His mercy.

ACCEPTABLE FAST (6): EXTEND MERCY TO YOUR RELATIONS
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?Isaiah 58:7 (KJV)
Fasting exposes one to see the vanity of this world and its possessions. It is easy to drift into a life of selfishness where nobody but you and yourself matters. You find that most times people are good to all but their own relations. They give to outsiders but when they get home, it is a different ball game. No wonder, Elohim is emphasizing that you are not to hide yourself from your own flesh. When you see needs in your family, don’t hide and pretend as though you are not seeing it. I Timothy 5:8 says, ‘But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.’ This is a very serious issue. Don’t turn your back on your own flesh and blood. Show mercy to your relations and ensure that they are not crying out to God for needs that you can meet. Know that Adonai placed you in their lives for you to be His extension to reaching them. That starts with ensuring that they have heard the gospel enough to make a decision whether to accept or reject the offer of salvation that Yahushua brought. So ensure that their spiritual needs are met. This is your first obligation as a believer. Acts 16:31 (NET) says, ‘They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”’ If you are saved, the next obligation for you is to ensure that your household comes to the saving knowledge of the Lord Yahushua.

IF IT IS THIS WISDOM THEN (7): IT IS WITHOUT HYPOCRISY
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 3:17 (KJV)
This is the last characteristic of divine Wisdom that Brother James talked about. This Wisdom is without hypocrisy. In Greek, the words for hypocrisy and hypocrite have to do with someone playing a part, as if they were an actor on stage. They’re dissemblers, pretenders who simulate, feign, and pretend to be something they are not (Thayer’s dictionary, entries on G5273 and G5271). The opposite is what we find in wisdom — anupokritos (G505), something that is unfeigned, undisguised, sincere. Somehow, we’re all familiar with the problem of hypocrisy in the Church. For most of us, it’s something we’ve had close experience with. We’ve found ourselves disgusted with others who we identify as hypocrites and we may even have caught ourselves doing hypocritical things. The Bible tells us “wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get wisdom” (Prov. 4:7, KJV). Wisdom is something Yahweh has in abundance and which He is eager to share with those who ask for it (James 1:5). As we grow in wisdom we will become people who are sincere, authentic, and live without hypocrisy.

IF IT IS THIS WISDOM THEN (4): IT IS FULL OF MERCY
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy …
James 3:17 (KJV)
Mercy is defined as that aspect of Yahweh’s character in which He does not give people what they deserve. Mercy is a disposition to be kind and forgiving. It is the feeling that motivates compassion. It is the force that alleviates distress and shows great kindness towards the distressed. When you are full of mercy, you pity those who are afflicted and those who afflict and offend you. When you are full of mercy, your default response to those who hurt you is pity not vengeance. This means that vengeful, get-even spirit is not divine Wisdom but earthly, sensual and devilish wisdom. When you are full of mercy, you are patient with people’s quirks. There are just people that behave odd and oppose everything. When you are full of mercy, you exercise a lot of patience with people’s quirks. What person in your life has irritating quirks? How can you practice patience with that person this today and this week? Colossians 3:12 admonishes to ‘Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;’ The bowel is the inner most being of a person which is often considered by Hebrews as the seat of the tenderer affections, especially kindness, benevolence, and compassion. This is telling us that our mercy should flow from our innermost being and not a fake camouflage. That when you see someone in trouble, something should well up from your depth to show mercy to the person.

THANKFUL FOR JUNE 2022
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:7 [KJV]
Here at #WordForTodayDevotional, we devote the last day of every month as our thanksgiving day where we celebrate the grace of Yahweh that has seen us through the month. We do not take for granted the mercies of the Lord from the first of the month to today the thirtieth. It has been a torrent of the word of Love and we owe the Lord thanks. We have returned today to thank Him for the success of the month of June 2022. In case, you cannot see anything to thank Yahweh for – I know such a person will not be reading this now; let me remind you that not all that saw 1st of June 2022 are alive today to see the 30th June 2022. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed (see Lamentations 3:22). We owe Him thanks today. Also, our attitude of thanksgiving determines, what the next month will be for us. Let us explore more on the benefits of thanksgiving.
Our text says that we should abound with thanksgiving. The Greek word translated abounding is ‘perisseuo’ meaning to superabound (in quantity or quality), be in excess, be superfluous; also (transitively) to cause to superabound or excel. You see that the English word abounding did not capture the Greek rendering. What the text is saying in essence is that we should superabound with quality and quantity thanksgiving, and allow our thanksgiving to be in excess. This is beyond theology brethren. The Lord wants us to superabound with quality thanksgiving and quantity thanksgiving. We are not just expected to thank Yahweh but to superabound with quantity thanksgiving. Thank Adonai until it is in excess. Let us think a bit. How many hours can you thank Yahweh today that will be in excess and will be of highest quality. You see that thanksgiving is not something to be mindless about.
