  • PRAISE IS YOUR PURPOSE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    PRAISE IS YOUR PURPOSE

    This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
    Isaiah 43:21 (KJV)

    Purpose is the original intention for the creation of a thing. For everything created there was a purpose behind the manufacturer’s mind for the making of that thing. Man is the creation of Yahweh and He didn’t leave us ignorant of the purpose for Him making man. Dr Myles says that if purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable. The reason there is so much abuse of purpose in the human race is because for most part, most people don’t even know the purpose for which they are alive. They were born into a routine of being born, going to school, getting a job or starting an enterprise, getting married and giving birth to children, growing old and dying. Most people go through this routine and for them, that is life. No wonder, there is so much bustle in the rat race. Everyone wants to beat everyone else. For the majority, there is no consciousness of purpose at all. Consequently, what you don’t know you can’t pursue. The good news is that man has a purpose for his making and it can be discovered. There is the general purpose of man and there is the specific purpose of man. The specific purpose gives the individual the specific ways to fulfil the general purpose. By all means the general purpose is the life assignment of man and that is to show forth the praises of the Yahweh; to bring Yahweh praise and glory. Whatever man is doing that does not fulfil this purpose is a wasted life and securing an eternity in agony and anguish. Though praising Yahweh is our purpose, it is only the living that can praise the Lord (see Isaiah 38:19). Ephesians 2:1 says that we were dead in trespasses and sins. Apostle Paul says that the law came and sin revived in him, thereby killing him (see Romans 7:9). Sin kills and Romans 3:23 says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of Yahweh. Therefore, everyone born of a woman was born in sin, consequently, spiritually dead. That implies that you cannot praise Yahweh until you are alive and living.

    We are laying the foundation for what Yahweh is set to do this month. If the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous do? (see Psalms 11:3). John 3:16 says ‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’ Yahushua HaMashiach came and paid the penalty for sin which is death (see Ezekiel 18:4). As a result of our nature of sin, we were eternally condemned with the devil to hell and the justice of Yahweh must be satisfied. So Yahushua HaMashiach came and died for us and went to hell for us and rose again to give us life, eternal life. Now if anyone believes in and confesses Him as Lord and Saviour, he/she is quickened back to eternal life by the Spirit of HaMashiach, the Blessed Holy Spirit. This is the experience we call ‘being born again’. When that happens, you become a new creation, with a new nature can that accommodate and enjoy the presence of Yahweh. This is now when you are ready to enter into the environment of the presence of Yahweh that you were created to live in.

    It all starts with coming alive by surrendering your heart to the Lord Yahushua. If you have not done that genuinely, please pray today’s prayer from the depth of your heart meaning every word, then reach us in any of our social media handles for support.

    REMEMBER: You were created to praise Yahweh. Only the living can praise. Being born again is coming alive.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, I believe in Yahushua HaMashiach that he came, died, was buried and rose again to give me eternal life. I repent Lord of my sins and I ask you to forgive me and cleanse me and from today I confess that Yahushua HaMashiach is my Lord and Saviour. Now I know that am born again in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: From now, your life shall give Yahweh praise and pleasure in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT IS PRAISE? (2)

    WHAT IS PRAISE? (2)

    Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
    Psalms 150:1 (KJV)

    We continue from yesterday and we are beginning today from the third Hebrew word for praise and the third dimension.

        3. Halal (Strong’s, H1984; Vine’s, “To Praise”), the third dimension of praise, is derived from a primitive root that means, among other things, “to be clear,” “to shine,” “to make a show,” “to boast,” “to be (clamorously) foolish,” “to rave.”  It suggests a sense of foolishness or abandonment in praise. Therefore, some people won’t praise Yahweh with halal because they are too dignified. They refuse to look even a little bit foolish in their celebration of Yahweh.  Whenever I think of halal, II Samuel 6:21-22 comes to mind.  David said “… therefore, will I play before the Lord.”  “and I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight …”  Wow!  This is halal in demonstration.  It means to play before the Lord, to be clamorously foolish in giving adoration; to be vile and base in one’s sight just to show Yahweh how much one loves Him.  In the Scriptures, in addition to “praise,” halal is translated as “commend” (see Genesis 12:15; Proverbs 12:8), “boast” (see 1 Kings 20:11; Psalms 10:3; 34:2; 97:7), “celebrate” (see Isaiah 38:18), “glory” (see 1 Chronicles 16:10; Psalms 105:3; Isaiah 41:16), “exult” (see Isaiah 45:25), “sing praises” (see 2 Chronicles 23:13), and “shine” (see Job 31:26; 41:18). Since halal is also translated “insane” (see 1 Samuel 21:13), or “fools” and “foolish” (see Job 12:17; Psalms 5:5; 73:3; Ecclesiastes 2:2).  Found in the Old Testament more than 160 times, halal may also be used in the praise of people, but the more common usage is in praise of Yahweh—hence, the word Halleluyah, a Hebrew word from the same root, which is usually translated “Praise the LORD!”

        4. Shabach (Strong’s, H7812) is the fourth dimension of praise.  It means to “address in a loud voice,” particularly with a sense of triumph.  The words used to translate shabach include, “glory” and “glorify” (see 1 Chronicles 16:35; Psalms 63:3; 106:47), “commend” (see Psalms 145:4; Ecclesiastes 8:15), and “extol” (see Psalms 117:1; 147:12).  When we address the Lord with a loud voice of triumphs, we commend Him for His character and nature and our praise commands a performance and fulfilment of all He has said He will do for us.  This is the praise that collapses the walls of Jericho.  Sometime, find a place where you can go and just raise a loud voice of triumphs to the Lord, where you would not disturb your neighbours.  That shabach to the Lord, forces walls to collapse on their own accord.  

        5. Zamar (Strong’s, H2167; Vine’s, “To Sing”), the fifth dimension of praise, is based on a primitive root that means “to touch the strings or parts of a musical instrument” with the sense of playing it or of making music that is accompanied by the voice.  Zamar has the connotation of celebration with song and music, and is often found in a parallel structure with shir (Strong’s, H7891), another Hebrew word for singing.  Zamar is translated as “sing” (see Psalms 27:6; 30:4; 108:3), “give praise” (see Psalms 57:7), “sing praises” (see 2 Samuel 22:50; Psalms 47:6; 68:32), “praise” (see Psalms 21:13), “make music” (see Psalms 33:2; 98:5), and “psalms” (see 1 Chronicles 16:9; Psalms 105:2).  Zamar also has the association of praising Yahweh with instruments (see Psalms 150) and through dance (see Psalms 149:3).

    Please note that zamar is the fifth dimension, not the first. You don’t start praise by making music, because music with instruments is to be an extension of your praise, not a creation of it. Praise starts with towdah and yadah—thanksgiving—which may be given by everyone, since we all have breath.  Halleluyah!!!

    REMEMBER:    You should halal – praise with abandon, shabach – shout with the voice of triumphs and zamar – make music with instrument unto the Lord.

    CONFESSION:   Dear Father, thank you for Who You are – A Great and Mighty God, a merciful and loving Father.  I declare that only You are my God and King. I love You and I shout aloud to my great King today. Halleluyah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   I see impregnable walls falling down in your life in their own accord as your Shabach ascends in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT IS PRAISE? (1)

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    WHAT IS PRAISE? (1)

    Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
    Psalms 100:4 [KJV]

    If man was formed to praise Yahweh, then it is of utmost importance to understand what praise is. Webster’s dictionary defines praise as “an expression of approval: commendation; worship, value, merit. Artha Open Thesaurus defines praise as an expression of approval and commendation; as offering words of homage as an act of worship. In the Bible, we have about seven Hebrew words that defines praise. These seven Hebrew words for praise are like seven dimensions of praise. Praise progresses. After we have introduced the seven Hebrew words for praise, we shall tell you why we say that praise is progressive. For space we may run this praise definition in series in order to cover them.

    1. Towdah (Strong’s, H8426; Vine’s, “To Praise”), occurs in the Old Testament 30 times. It is probably the most challenging of the seven dimensions of praise because it is totally an act of the will. Literally, meaning “an extension of the hand,” towdah is a noun form based on the primitive root yadah. Towdah literally means, “an extension of the hand in adoration, avowal, or acceptance.” By way of application, it is apparent in the Psalms and elsewhere that it is used for thanking Yahweh for “things not yet received” as well as things already at hand. In summary, Towdah means the sacrifice of thanksgiving. You can understand why Towdah is the first dimension because Psalm 100:4 says, ‘Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.’ That word thanksgiving is the Hebrew word towdah. You cannot praise Yahweh from outside His gates. To gain pass access at the gate of Yahweh, the sacrifice of thanksgiving must be released. In modern Hebrew towdah is preserved as the regular word for “thanks.” In the Bible, it is used in songs of worship and is translated as “praise” (see Psalms 42:4; 50:23; 56:12), “thanksgiving” (see Psalms 26:7; 50:14; 69:30; Isaiah 51:3), and “giving thanks” (see Nehemiah 12:27-38), with a particular emphasis on the concept of offering praise or thanksgiving as a sacrifice to God (see Psalms 50:14,23; 56:12; 107:22; 116:17; Jeremiah 17:26; 33:11; Amos 4:5). This concept of giving an offering or sacrifice to Yahweh is also seen in that towdah is the word used to refer to the thank offerings presented in the Tabernacle (see Leviticus 7:12-15; 2 Chronicles 29:31; 33:16; Psalms 50:14, 23; 56:12). Towdah may also mean to “make confession” to Yahweh concerning sin (see Joshua 7:19; Ezra 10:11).

    2. Yadah (Strong’s, H3034; Vine’s, “To Confess” and “To Praise”), the second dimension of praise, not surprisingly has some of the same meanings as towdah. Literally, yadah means to use or hold out the hand, it refers primarily to extending the hands in reverence or worship. Thus, yadah is a verb and the dimension of praise where you begin to take control over your body and your mind. To yadah therefore, is to worship with extended hand, to lift the hands in adoration. In the “be thankful unto him” in Psalm 100:4, thankful is the Hebrew word yadah. It is translated as to “praise” (see Gen. 29:35; Ps. 7:17; 9:1), to “give thanks” (see 2 Samuel 22:50; 1 Chronicles 25:3; Psalms 18:49), to “thank” (see 1 Chronicles 16:4; 23:30), and “thanksgiving” (see Nehemiah 11:17). Yadah is also accompanied by man’s recognition of his unworthiness to receive all Yahweh’s benefits. Thus, yadah, like todah, may have the meaning of making confession for sin. Hence it is translated “confess” or “confession” some 20 times in the Old Testament (see Leviticus 5:5; 16:21; Numbers 5:7; Ezra 10:1; Psalms 32:5; Proverbs 28:13).

    We shall continue tomorrow on this. You enter the gates of Yahweh with thanksgiving, confessing any sin that comes to mind and lifting up holy hands in adoration. This is the King’s protocol and royals are well acquainted with it.

    REMEMBER: Access into His presence is by Towdah and Yadah.

    THANKSGIVING: Father, thank you for who you are. You are a great and mighty God, a faithful God, a merciful and loving God. You have not dealt to us according as our deeds deserve and I thank You for Your large heart towards me and my family and your Church. I lift up my hands in adoration in the precious name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive grace to flow in Towdah and Yadah as a lifestyle from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SICK? CHECK FOR UNFORGIVENESS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday October 21, 2021

    SICK? CHECK FOR UNFORGIVENESS

    And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
    Matthew 18:34 (KJV)

    In Matthew 18:21-35, an interesting discussion with Yahushua and his disciples ensued. It started by Apostle Peter asking Yahushua, ‘how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?’ (vs 21). The Lord Yahushua answered him ‘I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.’ (vs 22). He then went ahead to tell them that the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, which was settling accounts with his servants. One was brought to him who owed him 10,000 talents and as he did not have anything to pay his debt, the king commanded that he, his wife, children and all that he had be sold and debt recovered. This servant fell down and worshipped this king saying “lord have patience with me, and I will pay you all.”(vs 26). The lord of that servant was moved with compassion and loosed him and forgave him the debt. But this same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a 100 pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying “Pay me that you owe.” His fellow servant fell down at his feet begging him saying, “Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.” but he wouldn’t be persuaded but went and cast him into prison till he should pay the debt. When his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sad and came and told their lord. Then his lord sent for him and said “You evil servant; I forgave you all that debt because you begged me, should you not have had compassion on your fellow servant even as I had on you?” His lord was angry and delivered him to the tormentors till he should pay all that he owed him. The Lord Yahushua concluded this story by saying, ‘So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.’(vs 35).

    Notice that this servant’s unwillingness to forgive, secured him being delivered into the hands of tormentors. You can be sure that sickness and disease are one of those tormentors that is released upon the presence of unforgiveness. This is very critical. When you are attacked by sickness, you must check if there is any unforgiveness in your heart. Is there anybody that you have not forgiven. Is there anybody that you are still holding in your heart. The things he/she did to you is so big that you cannot let go. That unforgiveness qualifies you to be visited by tormentors. You forgive not for the benefit of the offender but for your own benefit. That is why you should not be waiting for someone to come and apologize before you forgive. Be prepared to forgive even if they are unwilling to apologize. Offer what we call “advance forgiveness”. It is for your good beloved to live in that way.

    REMEMBER: Unforgiveness revokes the forgiven already given to you.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I receive grace to forgive anyone that has sinned against me and to live in advance forgiveness from today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive grace to forgive today and I decree every tormentor operating in your life checked back to hell now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
