THE PURPOSE OF PROSPERITY (4): SO YOU CAN BE A BLESSING
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Genesis 12:2 (KJV)
There’s nothing Yahweh does without a reason. He said in Jeremiah 29:11, “I alone know the plans I have for you…” (Good News Bible). Yahweh is a planner. So, what’s His plan or reason for blessing us? Why does Yahweh prosper? “…and thou shalt be a blessing.” That’s not a title, but the reason why Adonai blesses. That’s the only way that the blessing He will bless you with won’t kill or destroy you. Until you understand the secret of being a blessing, you’ll never enjoy Yahweh’s blessings. The level to which you’re prepared to be a blessing is the level to which you will be blessed. Yahweh will never bless you beyond the level to which you are ready to be a blessing. We often sing, “Abraham’s blessings are mine.” Wonderful! But this is the condition – if you’re not ready to be a blessing, neither will Yahweh be ready to bless you. No matter how delicious a meal is for instance, if you’re not ready to “bless” the earth with the waste, you’re likely to die with it. No matter how much you love any dish or how much you enjoy it, you still need to pass the waste out, otherwise, you’ll be a dead man very soon! The reason many are financially dead is because they stopped “going to toilet” financially, i.e. they stopped being blessings unto others. So, they are going about as financial corpses.
THE PURPOSE OF PROSPERITY (3): SO YOU CAN BLESS THE POOR

THE PURPOSE OF PROSPERITY (3): SO YOU CAN BLESS THE POOR
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25:40 (KJV)
The poor around you are Yahweh-given assets for your increase in life. So celebrate every opportunity with excitement. Matthew 26:11 says, there’s always somebody in need just around the corner.“For ye have the poor always with you…” Deuteronomy 15:11 also adds, “For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.” When you open up your bowels, heaven’s windows also opens in your direction. One of the reasons Yahweh blesses us is so that we can bless the poor around us, to open our hands wide towards the poor and rescue them from the jaws and plague of poverty. Until your arms are open wide to the needy, Yahweh’s window stays shut over you. If you eat all your food and drink your water alone, it will soon run dry. There’s an opportunity around you there, grab it! You may say, “There was somebody I helped the other day, and he did this, he did that”, recounting some negative experiences you had in the past. No! Just keep reaching out to the poor and needy. Don’t say, “When I have a big house…” It’s a big heart you need, not a big house!
THE PURPOSE OF PROSPERITY (2): FOR HIS KINGDOM’S SAKE

THE PURPOSE OF PROSPERITY (2): FOR HIS KINGDOM’S SAKE
Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Zechariah 1:17 (KJV)
Yahweh blesses primarily for His kingdom’s sake. The children of Israel were just about to take up their redemption in Yahweh, they were just about escaping the slavery of Egypt; and Yahweh said to them, “You shall not go empty. I will make sure I bless you.” Exodus 3:21 says, “And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:” And so He transferred the wealth of the Egyptians to them, He blessed them with the wealth of the Gentiles. He gave them gold, silver and brass. He brought them out of bondage with plenty. But in Exodus 35: 4-5 He called for the gold: “4 ¶And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying, 5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the Lord: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord; gold, and silver, and brass,” “Take”, not “Go and look for.” He had already blessed them, and out of that blessing, He was calling for offerings from a willing heart, for the building of the tabernacle. He said to them as it were, “Take it, I need it now. It’s Me who gave it to you. You were in rags in Egypt, then I gave you loads of gold and silver to carry. Now take it, bring it here.” And so they responded in Exodus 35:22-23. Please understand this: Yahweh blesses for His kingdom’s sake. When we entrench this into our lifestyle, we keep the taps of His blessings permanently open.
THE PURPOSE OF PROSPERITY (1): TO FULFILL HIS COVENANT

THE PURPOSE OF PROSPERITY (1): TO FULFILL HIS COVENANT
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: 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)
The purpose of anything is the most important part of that thing. Dr Myles Munroe remarked that when purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable. This is particularly true, when it comes to the issue of prosperity. So many people are abusing prosperity because they don’t know the purpose of Yahweh for bringing them into possessions of things. We are going to outline the purpose of Yahweh for manifesting prosperity in our lives. The Lord established a covenant with Abraham to bless him and through him bless all the families of the earth. It was a covenant and Yahweh is committed to His Word if man meets the demands of the covenant. Till date, Abraham descendants according to the flesh are such blessed people that evoke envy amongst their neighbours. The covenant is not only restricted to the descendants of Abraham according to the flesh for the Word says that the seed of Abraham is HaMashiach. Galatians 3:16 says, “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many? but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.” As many as are in HaMashiach are Abraham’s seed and therefore, heirs according to the promise. Till date the Lord Yahweh is still prospering His people according to that covenant. He does it to establish His covenant that He made with Abraham. That should humble you.
WHERE IS YOUR HEART?

WHERE IS YOUR HEART?
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness? and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
Even though prosperity is your Father’s Will for you, it may be an illusion in your life if your love is not on the Lord Himself. Where your heart is, is critical to your accessing your inheritance of prosperity. Let us examine Matthew 6:19-33 (The Amplified Bible),
“Do not gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal. But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light. But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness!
YAHWEH’S WILL IS PROSPERITY

YAHWEH’S WILL IS PROSPERITY
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke 12:32 (KJV)
This kingdom is a symbol of prosperity. Its streets are paved with gold. Prosperity is well-being of your spirit, soul and body. Prosperity is using the power of Yahweh to meet the needs of mankind in any area of life. Prosperity is having all your needs supplied according to His riches in glory. The will is a legal document declaring a person’s wishes regarding the disposal of their property when they die. The will settles every contention as to what belongs to the children in the absence of their father. There is a will of our heavenly Father available for you. He does not need to die like earthly fathers because He is a spirit existing in eternity. He left a will for you and it is called the Bible. Whatever you can find in the Bible is settled for you as your inheritance in Yahweh. For most people, their challenge is knowing the Will of Yahweh in any particular matter that concerns them. In Matthew 8:2 we read “And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.” For this man, he was settled about the power of the Lord to heal Him but only if it is His will. When the knowledge of His Will is missing, it creates a number of spiritual challenges that hinders you from taking delivery. If you are oblivious of the will of Yahweh, you cannot believe. Faith only comes alive by the Word. If you don’t have any Word to stand upon, faith cannot come and if faith doesn’t exist, you cannot receive from Yahweh (see Hebrews 11:6).
THE GOSPEL MEANS PROSPERITY

THE GOSPEL MEANS PROSPERITY
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor? …
Luke 4:18 [KJV]
The Lord Yahushua came for a specific assignment and it was encapsulated in our opening text. He came to preach the gospel to the poor. Gospel means good news. What is this good news that the Lord Yahushua came to preach to the poor? What is the gospel to the poor? The gospel to the poor is that Yahushua has come and they don’t have to be poor any more! Not very many poverty-stricken people have ever heard the whole gospel. Most of them have heard that they are supposed to live a meagre existence. That is what the missionaries who preached to them believed! There are always some missionaries who will become upset about the preaching of the whole gospel. But when you are preaching the Word of Yahweh, it works. Elohim could care less whether anyone listening has a dime or not. He didn’t base His gospel on what government happens to be in power at the time. All Yahweh is looking for is faith! There is enough undiscovered wealth in the poorest nations of this world to turn their poverty into abundance if they would just believe the gospel. If there wasn’t, Yahweh is more than able to put it there.
PROSPERITY OF YOUR BODY

PROSPERITY OF YOUR BODY
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
III John 1:2 (KJV)
Prosperity of the body means well-being in your body, finances, family and relationships. Our heavenly Father desires that you prosper in your body. Don’t allow any devil deceive you; sickness, pain, affliction, disease or any such thing is never the will of your heavenly Father for you. Yahweh is not punishing you with sickness, it is never written. It is however, true that sickness of all manner is in the curse of the law and you expose yourself to them by walking contrary to the Word. As a child of Yahweh, however, who is born again in Yahushua HaMashiach, you have a new nature of righteousness which forbids you to continue living in sin. You may fall into unrighteousness but living in sin is not your nature. Even at that, your Father is not going to punish you with sickness. When you sin, you repent and you are forgiven and that cuts off the hand of the devil. What we are saying today is don’t ever accept sickness, pain, disease or anything that discomforts your body as the will of Yahweh for you. The prosperity of your body is a priority to your heavenly Father. “I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health” is His declaration and He has not changed His mind. Your body is your license to exist on earth. No matter how sound your spirit and soul are, when your body wears out, your stay on earth has expired. The Father wants you to live a long strong healthy life.
PROSPERITY OF YOUR SOUL

PROSPERITY OF YOUR SOUL
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
III John 1:2 (KJV)
Man is a tripartite being. He is principally a spirit that has a soul that lives in a house called the body. Man is not a soul. Man has a soul. There is a difference. Man is a spirit because he was created in the image of Yahweh who is a spirit. At the breathe of Yahweh, his soul came alive. Genesis 2.7 says, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” It was the breathe of life that brought about the living soul. This accounts why life begins at new birth. You have a dead soul without a living spirit. It is the breathe of life that imparts the living soul. This is very critical for you to understand. When man died, his soul died. But at new birth, he is made alive and that affects the soul also. The soul is quickened at new birth. The soul is your will, emotion and intellect/mind. But the saving of the soul is a function of knowledge. The soul is saved completely as the mind is renewed by the Word of Yahweh. This is a gradual process and this process continues until the person exits time into eternity. But as long as you are in time, you would continually need the renewing of the mind by the Word. The prosperity of the soul is a function of knowledge of the Lord.
