SICKNESS IS A CURSE

SICKNESS IS A CURSE

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Galatians 3:13 (KJV)

This point is important you understand that sickness is a curse. It is a curse that came as a result of sin. Genesis 2:16-17 says, ‘16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.’ Just as we have established already that sickness and disease are instruments of death. So when the punishment of sin was pronounced as death, sickness and disease were included in that death package. Beloved, sickness/disease is a curse of sin, don’t play around it. Don’t explain it away. Sickness is not a scientific discovery. A thousand times No! Then came the curse of the law. First was the curse of disobedience, then secondly the curse of the law. The curse of disobedience came with death punishment and sickness was inside that death package. However, the curse of the law came with mentions that inexplicably draws the line for all to see what to expect when you do not comply with the law of Yahweh.

WHAT IS HOLINESS?

WHAT IS HOLINESS?

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews 12:14 (KJV)

Holiness in the Old Testament is the Hebrew word ‘qodes’ a word that highlights the realm of the sacred in contrast to everything common and profane. The adjective ‘qādôš’, “holy,” refers to Yahweh and what belongs to him. In various places in the Hebrew Scriptures, Yahweh is called by the title the “Holy One of Israel.” Whatever that belongs to Yahweh is holy. Time, space, objects, and people—all can become holy if they belong to Yahweh. The temple in Jerusalem was considered holy space, and the objects used in worship holy objects. The Sabbaths and feasts of Israel were considered holy days or seasons. And the Israelites were called Yahweh’s holy people by virtue of belonging to Him. The New Testament uses the words ‘hagiazo’, to “make holy” and ‘hagio’ “holy” or “sacred.” Yahushua is called “the Holy One of Yahweh”(see Mark 1:24, Luke 4:24). And those who acclaim Yahushua as Lord are called ‘hagioi’, or “saints.” As believers, we are literally set apart, made holy, because of our relationship with the one who bridges the gap between a holy God and sinful human beings.

THE HORRORS OF SIN (1): SHAME

THE HORRORS OF SIN (1): SHAME

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Genesis 3:10 (KJV)

Shame is a function of nakedness. Sin makes you naked in the realm of the spirit. It is only a mad person that can be naked and not ashamed because there is no more mind to understand what is going on. Sin strips you of every form of covering, leaving you naked. Sin destroys the presence of Yahweh that forms a covering for the man, thereby, exposing him/her to attacks of the wicked. Sin is a barrier to honour in anybody’s life, whether white or black, literate or illiterate, young or old. No matter who you are, sin will never allow you to see honour. Wherever sin reigns, shame reigns. Wherever sin reigns, reproach reigns. Wherever sin reigns, men have no future. When the first man, Adam, sinned in the Garden of Eden, he was stripped naked. Yahweh called out to him, “Adam, where art thou?” Sin obscures you. Sin destroys your visibility confining you to the background of ignominy. Sin will strip any man naked of all honour, dignity and glory. Adam fell from grace to grass; he became a labourer where he was once the king. So sin must die for your glory to rise; sin must die for you to walk in holiness. No honour or glory awaits the crooked, because Proverbs 28:13 warns that “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper.”

MACHINERIES OF SIN (3): REBELLION

MACHINERIES OF SIN (3): REBELLION

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
I Samuel 15:23 (KJV)

Rebellion is demonic. Let us quickly make a scriptural connection to show that rebellion is another form of witchcraft and by the judgement of Yahweh, the witch is not permitted to live. Exodus 22:18 says, “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” Our opening text tells us that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. That is saying that a rebellious person is a witch and by divine judgement, not permitted to live. That is how deadly rebellion is. It has terminated the lives of precious talented people. In the wilderness, it had the third mortality rate after immorality, and the menace of the god of gold. In Numbers 16:1-3, 28-33, rebellion claimed the life of a whole family. That was how Dathan, Korah, Abiram, and 250 others, and all their families perished! Rebellion destroyed an estimated one thousand people in one day! Friend, rebellion is of the devil, don’t give in to it. Rebellion is a deliberate reaction against order, targeted at leadership at all levels in the Church of the Lord Yahushua. Any church or establishment you find yourself in and you have doubts about the leadership, it is not a place where you can be blessed. So check out of the place, before you’re checked out. Rebellion is risky. Don’t expect to survive if you reject Yahweh’s order. To wish leadership evil is mental disorder, as heaven is a city of order. Leadership is required for human society to survive, whether in the secular world or in the Church.

HOW TO CONQUER THE GOD OF GOLD (4): AVOID DEBT

HOW TO CONQUER THE GOD OF GOLD (4): AVOID DEBT

The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
Deuteronomy 28:12 (KJV)

Another way in which covetousness expresses itself is in debt. When you have a flair for owing, you’re a victim of covetousness. The moment you have a strong flair for owing, the god of gold has held you captive; because whatever your eyes see, and you long for and you don’t have the money for, you will want to borrow to get it. For instance, what is a man borrowing to ride a car for? The spirit of debt is a terrible one! The moment you start taking steps that are larger than your own strides, you’re cutting down your life without knowing. Let me tell you this: there’s always something available, which you can buy with the money you have in your hand. Whatever I don’t have now is not a need, it’s a want. And El-Shaddai is committed to meeting my needs according to His riches in glory by Yahushua HaMashiach, because I walk in the covenant (see Philippians. 4:19). There’s a size for your present status, all you need is to locate it and be satisfied with it. Discontentment brings down your speed and makes you defenceless. There’s no level where you are now that Yahweh has not made provisions for your size of food, house, clothes, etc, so you can be contented and live a happy life.

HOW TO CONQUER THE GOD OF GOLD (3): BE FAITHFUL

HOW TO CONQUER THE GOD OF GOLD (3): BE FAITHFUL

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
I Corinthians 4:2 (KJV)

Luke 16:9-12 says, “9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness? that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. 10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?” The number one way covetousness is expressed is through unfaithfulness. But unfaithfulness will ground you and make you unfruitful! Unfaithfulness means playing out the other person, with the aim of taking advantage of him/her. You don’t go places that way. From what the Lord Yahushua said, you’re bound to fail. He said, “that when ye fail…” Unfaithfulness guarantees failure in our covenant walk with the Father. For instance, you’re a driver, and you are given some money to fill the fuel tank, but you then buy half tank and collect receipt for a full tank, because you know no one is likely to check the car to see if that was actually what you bought. You have only succeeded in cutting down your life by half! You have signed to end a driver or even lose that job. You have cut down your blessings. Unfaithfulness is a trap of the devil to make you a failure; don’t let him, because Yahweh wants to promote you!

HOW TO CONQUER THE GOD OF GOLD (2): LAY IT UP

#WordForTodayDevotional

HOW TO CONQUER THE GOD OF GOLD (2): LAY IT UP

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Matthew 6:20 (KJV)

If you want to defeat the god of gold and the love for money in your life, you must lay up your treasures in heaven because your heart aligns in the direction of your treasure. Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” The key to your freedom from the trap of the god of gold is laying up your treasures in heaven. If you stack it up here, you will worship it. But if you lay it up there, it creates a future for you. When the El-Shaddai is out of your riches, it becomes risky. When Yahweh is kept out of your means, you’re already in a pit! When you’re not rich towards Adonai, no matter what you have, you’re a poor man! When you have no account with Yahweh, no matter where you get to on this earth, you’re on the floor! Oh yes! How do you lay it up? It is by giving. To conquer covetousness, you must be addicted to the giving life. I Timothy 6:17 says, “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy?” The love of money is conquered when you are in good works, willing to distribute, ready to let go. Every form of giving helps you lay up treasures in heaven. I Timothy 6:19 says, “Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” That is to say that when you give, you are laying up in store for yourself a good foundation against the time to come. Whatever you give, is stored in heaven and is withdrawable on earth in due time.
