CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (9): DOES NOT REJOICE AT INJUSTICE OR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS

It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
I Corinthians 13:6 (AMP)

How our lives and relationships will be transformed if we can just start manifesting the Yahweh-kind of love. This love does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness. What does it mean to not rejoice in iniquity? The word “rejoiceth” in the phrase “rejoiceth not in iniquity” according to KJV is translated from the Greek word chairō, which means to rejoice, to be glad, to be delighted or pleased. Think about when you are delighted in something. You may dwell on it or talk about it—maybe you even make a big deal about it or magnify it. You rejoice in it, and it makes you glad. When we manifest the love of Yahweh, we absolutely don’t rejoice in unrighteousness. We assuredly don’t take pleasure in wrongdoing. And we most certainly don’t gloat over other men’s sins nor show gladness when others do wrong or fail.

CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (2): IS KIND

CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (2): IS KIND

… love is kind and thoughtful, …
I Corinthians 13:4 (AMP)

The second attribute of the Yahweh-kind of love is kindness. What is it to be kind? The phrase “is kind” in I Corinthians 13:4 is the Greek word chrēsteuomai, from the root word chrēstos, which E. W. Bullinger’s Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament defines as “good, gentle, benevolent…actively beneficent in spite of ingratitude.” Both “benevolent” and “beneficent” describe someone who does good. To be kind is to do good unto others, even if they don’t show appreciation for our gestures. The Yahweh-kind of love is always the answer to the odds of human demeanour. That definition of chresteuomai says ‘actively beneficent in spite of ingratitude’.

YAHWEH KNEW YOU

YAHWEH KNEW YOU

“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

Jeremiah 1:5 [KJV]

This is absolutely mind-blowing. You are not a biological accident the circumstances surrounding your birth notwithstanding. You are not a mistake that just happened. No matter what your parents or any other person have said, you are very much in the plan and agenda of your heavenly Father. The Hebrew translated ‘know’ in our opening verse means to have an intimate knowledge as deep as intercourse. It is knowing the hidden naked side and details of a person. That is to say that before you ever existed, YAHWEH knew you personally, intimately and holistically. That is the definition of love – intimacy that is a result of knowledge. Psalms 139 captured this knowledge of love in a most scintillating way. We shall take a few of them. Psalms 139:2-4 addressing Yahweh says, “2. You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know my thoughts from far away. 3. You know where I go and where I lie down. You know everything I do. 4. LORD, you know what I want to say, even before the words leave my mouth.” (ERV). We’re talking about the fact that Yahweh knew you intimately and that before you ever arrive in time. It is a knowing that springs from intimacy and love. He loves you out of knowledge. There’s nothing about you that is a surprise to Him.

WHAT IS THE LORD SAYING FOR FEBRUARY 2023?

WHAT IS THE LORD SAYING FOR FEBRUARY 2023?

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
I John 2:15 [KJV]

Welcome to the month of February in our year of the #DependableYahweh. We are already set this year for outstanding success having stayed almost all through January on the fasting and prayer mountain. It was such an intense month of prayer and fasting with the theme “I am empowered on the altar of fasting and prayer to serve the Dependable Yahweh.” We explored the fact that you are here to serve the interest of the Kingdom of Yahweh, otherwise, you would have been physically translated the very day that you got saved. He left you here so that you can be an instrument to bringing others out of the bondage of sin and Satan. We saw what fasting is and scriptural examples of fasting. We examined in depth what fasting offers and how to fast acceptably. There is acceptable fast and also unacceptable fast. We believe in all that you were transfigured as you prayed and more importantly empowered to serve Yahweh this year. We prayed intensely to receive the grace to serve Him as a lifestyle with proofs and we believe that the rest months of this year is already a walkover. Having been empowered, it is now time to prove our love for the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach by deploying ourselves full-time for the interest, increase and expansion of His kingdom.

ACCEPTABLE FAST (2): MAKE LIFE BETTER (UNDO HEAVY BURDENS)

ACCEPTABLE FAST (2): MAKE LIFE BETTER (UNDO HEAVY BURDENS)

Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to undo the heavy burdens,Isaiah 58:6 (KJV)

Acceptable fast undo the heavy burdens. Adonai desires that life should be good for His creation. People should live in health, prosperity and peace. There should not be weeping, mourning and gnashing of teeth. This is the ideal of Adonai. However, the presence of Satan and his agents has brought untold heavy burdens upon people and Adonai is seeking for a person to stand in the gap and undo these heavy burdens upon humanity. So in fasting, you connect with power from on high as your voice is heard on high to undo heavy burdens. You don’t need to be a pastor or in the full time ministry to be used of God to undo heavy burdens. As a person you should stand for yourself and at least for your family members and ensure that no satanic burdens remain around you. Literally, this means, let those who work for you not be working under inhuman conditions. Don’t allow your workers work under conditions that make them sigh and mourn. Make life better for people around you. There are organizations today that are literal slave centres where people work under terrible conditions and as they work, their groans and sighs ascend to Adonai and this breaks His heart. Never be that kind of person that people around you are doing their work with bitterness and terrible conditions.

SERVING THE INTEREST OF YAHWEH’S KINGDOM IS THE REASON YOU ARE HERE

SERVING THE INTEREST OF YAHWEH’S KINGDOM IS THE REASON YOU ARE HERE

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness? and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 [KJV]

You saved to serve. The reason Yahushua did not call you home to be with Him at your salvation is because, He needs you here to serve the interest of His Kingdom. The Kingdom of Yahushua on earth now is the souls that have subscribed to the Lordship of Yahushua in their lives. The interest of Yahweh’s kingdom on earth is all about the salvation and establishment of souls. This is your sole responsibility as a believer now. This is the very reason why you are alive today. So many people think that they are alive to worship and praise Yahweh. That is true but you don’t need to be alive to worship and praise Yahweh. When you go to be with the Lord Yahushua, all you do 24/7 is worshipping the beauty of Holiness. If worship and praise is the reason you are alive now, then you don’t need to be on earth to truly praise the Lord. The very reason you are alive now is to be an instrument to bring someone to salvation. Remember, the only reason the Lord Yahushua came to earth is the salvation of the soul of man. There is no other reason. Humanity was lost in sin and needed a saviour; one who can satisfy the demand of Yahweh’s justice. When He was born, the angel announced His purpose. In Matthew 1:18 the Word says, “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” He came to save souls.

THANKFUL FOR DECEMBER 2022

Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
Psalms 31:21 [KJV]

We have seen the Lord’s goodness, His mercies and compassion! Halleluyah, praise the Lord! Without any iota of doubt, the Lord has been good to us. If you doubt me, take a trip to the hospital or the morgue and see for yourself. You are not better than those in the hospital or mortuary. 365 days is not a joke and the Lord has conquered the days for us. We are immensely grateful Father. What a day! The last day of the month of December. The last day of the year 2022. In a couple of hours we shall arrive 2022 and that in good health and sound mind. What a good God we serve. Taking us all the way from January 1st to December 31st 2022, providing for us, protecting us, preserving us, leading and guiding us. We are here today to say THANK YOU FATHER! For You are good and Your mercies endures forever. Of a truth, I have seen Your mercies and I can confidently say that I do not deserve the least of the loving kindness which has been super abundant towards me and mine all through 2022.

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (1): EXISTENCE IN THE STILL WATERS

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (1): EXISTENCE IN THE STILL WATERS

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psalms 23:2 [KJV]

There is a place of existence besides the still waters. It is a place of peace, calm and unfathomable tranquillity. It is a place of supernatural comfort and rest. The still waters of destiny is a real place but it is only reserved for those that are led by Yahweh’s Spirit. The still waters is that place where the Lord takes over your battles. Yahweh through the prophetic told Jehoshaphat and Judah to set themselves. II Chronicles 20:17 says, “Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.” Do you want to see the salvation of the Lord, then it behoves on you to be diligent to access divine direction. That leading into the still waters for Jehoshaphat and Judah came out of a three days fast. These things don’t fall into one’s lap, you have to reach out and lay hold on them. The challenge is not if there is a place where one can enjoy the still waters of Yahweh. The challenge we have today is taking responsibility like King Jehoshaphat and Judah did to ask direction from the Lord. But Beloved, there is no way around it. If you desire to exist around the still waters, divine direction is the way there.

JOY TO THE WORLD – MERRY YAHUSHUA BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Luke 2:10 (KJV)

Luke 2:6-7 says, ‘6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.’ The groping in the dark was finally over. The Way was born. Angels heralded it with joy. Luke 2:8-15, ‘8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.’

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (5): BE QUIET

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (5): BE QUIET

And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
I Kings 19:12 (KJV)

In our quest to access divine direction, we must maintain quietness in our spirit and in our environment. This is the reason Yahweh calls people up a physical mountain to meet them. It is to come out of the distractions of their environment and family. It takes a great level of quietness and serenity to hear Yahweh’s voice of direction. Yahweh’s voice of direction is often a still small voice that sounds in your spirit and you are likely to miss it if you are rowdy in your spirit and if your environment is not serene. If divine direction is your quest, then you must seek to maintain a quiet spirit and environment. You can engage in activities that can quiet your spirit and bring it to the state of tranquillity. In Isaiah 14:7, the Word says, ‘The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.’ Singing spiritual songs quiets your spirit. If you are agitated, then separate yourself and begin to sing to the Lord. Spiritual songs relaxes your spirit and even your soul and body, bringing you to a complete state of quietness.
