PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (4): WORKING
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Proverbs 10:4 (KJV)
No one is born poor, neither is anyone born rich. Nobody was born with a three-piece suit and a pair of shoes on. Everybody came to this earth stark naked. Nobody carried a purse or a cheque book when he was born. People arrive here to become whatever they choose to be. “He becometh poor…” Just like men become rich, others also become poor. Your choice determines what you become. “…But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.” So the making of wealth is not limited to giving alone. Just in a moment, I will show you the balance between giving and working. Giving procures the blessings, while working opens the channel through which that blessing flows back to you. Giving establishes the blessings, but working provides the channel through which the blessings are released. Giving without working is like pouring water into a basket. The channel is not created for the blessings that accrue from giving to be delivered. Here are two striking scriptures that draw a link between giving and working. “A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.” (Proverbs 18:16) That is, room is created by your givings. But look at Proverbs 22:29, “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” So it is your giving, and your working that determine your ultimate placement in life. The charismatics have been taught how to give, but many have not been taught the covenant place and dignity of labour.
Abraham encountered the promise of blessings by giving, but he took delivery of the blessings by working. In Genesis 12, God called him out and promised to bless him. In chapter 14, he gave tithes to Melchizedek, King of Salem, who blessed him. Yet Abraham was a cattle-rearer! God has nothing to bless when you are not working. Psalms 1:3 says, “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” “Whatsoever he doeth…”, not “whatsoever he giveth”! It is the giving that positions you by the rivers of water, what you do thereafter is what then enables you to take delivery of the blessings of this privileged positioning. The work of your hand is the channel through which you take delivery of the blessings. “And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” There’s no future for the idle man in the covenant. You have a choice between hard-work and a hard life! I made my choice for hard-work, so I’m free from a hard life.
Beloved, it is time to take your work culture to the next level. Shalom!
REMEMBER: Work is your channel of inflow of the blessings into your life.
CONFESSION: My hands are diligent hands. It is the Lord Yahushua that is at work in me both to will and do of His good pleasures. Hard work has removed me from hard life. Glory be Yahweh!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree your work blessed from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
