HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (4): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

II Corinthians 5:21 (KJV)

This area of righteousness is one of the major arsenals of the devil against the faith of most believers in HaMashiach because they lack the understanding of our righteousness in HaMashiach. Firstly, at new birth, you were born righteous because you took after your father. It is same DNA in your father Yahweh that runs in you. Yahweh is righteous and that nature of righteousness is what you were born with (see 1 Peter 1:23; John 1:13). At new birth, you are not trying to be righteous, you were born that way. The challenge for most people is that this nature of righteousness is only in your spirit because man is a spirit which has a soul and lives in a body. Your soul/mind was not born again. Your body was not born again. So without educating your mind with the word of Yahweh and disciplining your body, you can never manifest this righteousness practically (see Romans 12:1-2; I Corinthians 9:27). In Yahushua HaMashiach you are perfect, righteous and holy. You are complete in Him (see Colossians 2:10). You must educate your mind and discipline your body to conform to this new nature in your spirit. Sometimes, you may fall short but as soon as that happens, confess your sin and fall back in line with that your nature of righteousness.

THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (1): DELIVERANCE FROM SIN

THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (1): DELIVERANCE FROM SIN

“Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”
Romans 6:18 (KJV)

The greatest challenge of man is not Satan. It is sin. Disobedience to the Word of Yahweh is what brings a person under the dominion of Satan and the gates of hell. Lack of money is not your greatest challenge beloved! Satan doesn’t care if you own all the money in all the Central Banks of the World as long as you are living a lifestyle of sin. Firstly, Sin is your shortener. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” You’ll be looking at glory but you can’t access it. Don’t play with sin, it is not your mate. Secondly, Sin withholds the showers from a life. Jeremiah 3:3 alludes to that, “Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.” So, sin is behind fruitlessness. Sin is behind wilderness experience most times. If the showers are withheld, everything begins to wither. Thirdly, Sin places one under the dominion of Satan and his cohorts. 2 Timothy 2:26 says, “And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” Sin is the snare or trap of the devil. Living in sin as a lifestyle is being caught by the snare of the devil. You know what that means? Everything about you will be caged. You may have very great potentials but there will be no expression. Not because the devil is powerful but because of sin. Sin has ensnared you.

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

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.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (8): ESTABLISHMENT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

… and thy righteousness shall go before thee; …
Isaiah 58:8 (KJV)

Amplified puts it this way: your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity]. Fasting establishes you in righteousness because you cannot approach Yahweh in sin. And righteousness is not just who we are but what we do. I John 3:7 says, ‘Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.’ Fasting helps you establish the culture of doing righteousness. When one does not live a life of consecrational fasting, his/her life will be filled with uncleanness and filth of all manner. Though he/she may have genuinely at one time confessed the lordship of HaMashiach over his/her life but because he/she has refused to work out his/her salvation with fear and trembling (see Philippians 2:12), he/she cannot exercise dominion over sin and unrighteousness. Yahushua saw this when He said in Matthew 6:16 “Moreover when ye fast”. Fasting offers you establishment in righteousness.

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (2): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN OUT

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (2): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN OUT

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
II Thessalonians 1:6 (KJV)

When you follow divine direction, oppositions to your Yahweh-ordained inheritance are taken care of by Yahweh. Yahweh takes your enemies down for your sake. It is a righteous thing with Yahweh to smite all that rise up against you (see II Thessalonians 1:6). Even Yahushua had to surrender himself otherwise no hands could be laid on Him. Those that came to arrest the Lord Yahushua had to fall before him. They couldn’t stand his presence. No man could harm Yahushua until He surrendered himself for the cross. John 18:4-6 showed us that, ‘4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.’ You are indomitable walking in the will of Yahweh; following divine direction for your life. I Peter 3:13 says, ‘And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?’ You are unconquerable following divine direction because all the powers of heaven are at your disposal to handle any satanic uprisings. You don’t struggle to reign and rule following divine direction.

INTRODUCING WISDOM

INTRODUCING WISDOM

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
I Corinthians 1:24 [KJV]

In Genesis 1:26 we saw the Father saying “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:” That scripture introduced the blessed Trinity. John 1:1-3 says, “1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him? and without him was not any thing made that was made.” That showed us that the second person of the Trinity is the person known as the Word. Genesis 1:2 says, ‘And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.’ We saw the third person of the Blessed Trinity called the Spirit of Yahweh. Beloved, just follow me, we are trying to meet Wisdom. Proverbs 8:22-31 showed us that Wisdom was at the Creation. Even before creation, he was right there. However, we have seen that it was only the Holy Trinity that was there at creation. This shows us that the Word is Wisdom. Apostle John told us that by the Word all things were made (see John 1:3). Psalms 104:24 says, “O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.” Collaborating what Proverbs 8:22-31 said that Wisdom was there at creation. We can state authoritative by these scriptures that the Word of Yahweh is the Wisdom of Yahweh.

OBSTACLES TO ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (6): NEGATIVE PAST

OBSTACLES TO ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (6): NEGATIVE PAST

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

Isaiah 43:18 (KJV)

Negative past talks about events in your past that when you remember them, you are full of hurt, resentment, hate, vengeful, bitter and depressed. The habit of looking back at past failures is an enemy of praise. You can’t live a life of praise until you let go of the negative past. For instance, if you are driving a car forward, and rather than facing your front, you concentrate on looking backward, you know of course that you are heading for a ghastly motor accident. Lay all the troubles of the past to rest! If you have lost anything, He is the reason why you have not lost everything. You can’t praise Him with burdens. Looking at your negative past all the time will make things negative in your life. Let them go! The Bible says anyone who puts his hand on the plough and looks back, is not worthy of the kingdom (see Luke. 9:62). That means he is not fit for the blessings of the kingdom.

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (5): TRUSTING

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (5): TRUSTING

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
Psalms 112:7 (KJV)

Quite a number believe God, but very few trust Him. What enhances a successful, cheerful and relaxed giving life is trusting. It makes for profitable giving. Those who trust Him are totally dependent on Him and on no one else. Jeremiah 17:7 says, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.” Trusting is the highway to continuous triumph. Psalm 34:8, 22 says, “8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.“ In Matthew 6:31, Yahweh says, “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?” The only way not to take thought for your life is to trust; and that’s your highway to the realm of kingdom prosperity. There are so many people who are giving in worship, but who have never enjoyed the blessings of Yahweh. Why? They are not dependent on Yahweh for their needs, so they keep suffering. They depend on their pay packets, and on their big brothers. Jeremiah 17:5 says, “Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.”

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (1): COVENANT GIVING (A)

PILLARS OF PROSPERITY (1): COVENANT GIVING (A)

Give, and it shall be given unto you? good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Luke 6:38 (KJV)

Covenant giving is the highway of abundance in this Kingdom. The law of seed-time and harvest is also called the law of giving. Giving is like sowing seeds into the ground. The ground you are sowing the seed matters a lot to the harvest that you can expect. That is why it is not every giving that produces harvest. It is only covenant giving that produces bountiful harvest. Covenant giving is that giving that is in line with the Word. Covenant giving is that giving that is commanded by the Word. When you give according to the Word, then you are assured of a bountiful returns. Covenant giving starts with the tithe. The tithe is ten percent of the increase of Yahweh upon your life and business/career. 10% of $100 is $10. That is how simple it is. Tithe is a debt you are owing Yahweh that is why if you refuse to pay, it is regarded as robbery (see Malachi 3:8-12). When you pay your tithe, you provoke the heavens opened over you and your finances and indeed everything that concerns you. When you don’t pay your tithe, you incurred the curse of the Lord released upon the thief (see Zechariah 5:1-4). You also close the heaven over you and expose yourself to the devourer. It is better imagined than experienced. If you are in this Kingdom of HaMashiach and you are not faithful in tithing, you are doing yourself a great disservice. In the new testament, it is our high priest Yahushua that receives the tithe (see Hebrews 7:8).
