FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (5): ADDICTION

And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Yahweh of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
1 Kings 19:10 [KJV]

An addict is a person that has caused oneself to become dependent (on something, especially a narcotic drug). A Yahweh-addict is someone who has caused himself by an act of his will to become dependent on Yahweh and the interest of His kingdom. It is one thing to receive HaMashiach and eternal life into your spirit, then another thing to consecrate yourself for Yahweh’s use in your generation, then another thing to be deadly committed to the Lord Yahweh, then another thing to be excited in affection to the Lord Yahweh, then completely another to be an addict of Yahweh and His Kingdom. The addiction realm is the realm where Yahweh swears a blessing on you and your generation by your display of affection. A Yahweh-addict has completely lost his mind to the will of Yahweh and the interest of His Kingdom. Yahushua HaMashiach operated in that realm when his brethren came to take him, exclaiming that He has lost his mind (See Mark 3:21). Yahushua was so addicted to Yahweh and the interest of His Kingdom that his friends took offence and accused him of having lost his mind. When you are addicted to Yahweh, even the devil can no longer ignore you because you become a heavy weight in the realm of the spirit. An addict uses his last cash to get the substance he is addicted to, he doesn’t care if the people of his household are starving, something else is controlling him. When you see a Yahweh-addict, nothing is too big for Yahweh.

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (4): AFFECTION

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (4): AFFECTION

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
Psalms 91:14 [KJV]

Affection is delightsome commitment – getting involved with excitement. This means that whatever involves Yahweh is not a burden to you. Serving Yahweh without affection, rather attracts a curse from Yahweh. So this foundation is critical. See what Yahweh says in Deuteronomy 28:47-48, ‘47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy Yahweh with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.’ It is a risk to hang around Yahweh without an affection for Yahweh. It is only responding to the Love of Yahweh that qualifies anyone for Kingdom prosperity. So you have to be delighted in Yahweh, you have to be excited! Yahweh loves a cheerful giver. That is, Yahweh doesn’t love just the giver, but the one that gives cheerfully. Giving therefore without being cheerful is wasting your seed. It has no future.

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (3): DEDICATION

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (3): DEDICATION

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
Proverbs 23:26 (KJV)

Yahweh is saying ‘give me your heart’, not ‘give me your cash’. When we talk about Kingdom prosperity, many people think of Yahweh asking you to give your money, but no, His demand is for your heart. Why is that important? Matthew 6:21 says that your treasure follows the direction of your heart. When it comes to Kingdom Prosperity, if your heart is not there, your cash is wasted. Dedication is being inseparably connected to Yahweh and His pleasures. It is being with Him at all times. It is being planted in the house of Yahweh (see Psalms 92:13-14). Your flourishing is a function of your being planted in the courts of our Yahweh. Dedication is being deadly committed as Bishop David Oyedepo will always define it. To “be planted” means to be committed. Do you find trees moving about? Wherever you find a tree today, that’s where you’ll meet it tomorrow. It’s planted. “Those who are planted…” That word “planted” explains what dedication is all about. Dedication guarantees a glorious future. Dedication is the mystery behind distinction. How dedicated you are determines how distinguished you will ever become in the kingdom. Isaiah 61:3 says, ‘…that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.‘

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (1): NEW BIRTH

FOUNDATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY (1): NEW BIRTH

That at that time ye were without HaMashiach, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without Yahweh in the world:
Ephesians 2:12 (KJV)

In the scheme of things, life comes first before prosperity. Everyone not born again is dead in trespasses. The person is not alive and therefore, cannot be talking about prosperity. There is no knowledge or understanding in the grave (see Ecclesiastes 9:10). Everyone not born again is spiritually dead. That is why such a person is bound for hell fire because no dead soul is in heaven. Hell is the place of the dead. Being alive is the first foundation for Kingdom Prosperity. No dead soul is admitted into the school of kingdom prosperity because prosperity entails that you are in a covenant relationship with Yahweh which was enacted by the blood of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach. If you have never surrendered to the Lordship of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach, then you can quickly do it now and be qualified for what the Lord is going to do this month. If you backslid, same applies to you. Sin is a killer. It kills spiritual life. Backslider, come back to the Lord now. It is salvation that brings you into shalom. The Word translated as saved in Mark 16:16 actually means and implies prosperity. This shows that until you are saved, you don’t have an inheritance among the saints. Kingdom prosperity is an inheritance among those that are sanctified. So if you are not part of the sanctified, then you do not have such an inheritance.

WHAT IS KINGDOM PROSPERITY?

WHAT IS KINGDOM PROSPERITY?

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
Psalms 35:27 (KJV)

What exactly is prosperity? Here, we are talking about the prosperity of the kingdom person which we shall henceforth refer to as kingdom prosperity. Kingdom prosperity is the prosperity of the person that is born again and ruled by the commandment of the Lord Yahushua. Yahushua HaMashiach is the head of this kingdom and His word is the rule that govern His kingdom. The prosperity that comes as a result of following the commandment of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach is what we refer as Kingdom Prosperity. Kingdom Prosperity is the prosperity that is engendered by the Word of Yahweh. Having understood that, what then is Prosperity? The word translated prosperity in our opening text is the Hebrew word ‘shalom’ and has many shades of meaning. Shalom means completeness in number; safety, soundness in body; welfare, health; peace, quiet, tranquillity, contentment; peace, friendship (of human relationships and with Yahweh especially in covenant relationship); peace from war; and peace generally.

THE WORD DEFINES YOUR PROSPERITY

THE WORD DEFINES YOUR PROSPERITY

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
III John 1:2 (KJV)

It is important to understand that your prosperity is not a function of the work you do, nor is it dependent on the economy of the nation you reside in. The economic climate of your environment has nothing to do with it. The details of your prosperity is a function of the Will of Yahweh that is available in the Word of Yahweh. Until you understand this, you will continue to make your projections based on the budget of your government or the economy. The Word of Yahweh is the Will of Yahweh and the details of your prosperity is explicitly penned down in there. For most part, the dilemma of people is ignorance of the provisions of the Will. How on earth, can you achieve what you never even knew existed for you? I was told of a young man who at a time was living in Abuja Nigeria in one of the outskirts of town with his mother. He never knew his father. One day, one man came looking for him. He asked him, ‘are you so so and so’? He answered to the affirmative and the man that came for him explained to him that though he does not know his father, his father was a very rich man in Lagos and is now late. However, in his will, an estate in Lekki Lagos was bequeathed to him. He took the man to his mother who confirmed that yes, the said man was his father. Though he had an inheritance, he and his mother was living in poverty and in poverty stricken area in Abuja. From that day, his life and economy changed. Beloved, you cannot do anything about what you don’t know existed for you.

THE TECHNICALITIES OF YAHWEH’S WILL

THE TECHNICALITIES OF YAHWEH’S WILL

For where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven.
Hebrews 9:16 [NET]

It is important to understand that Yahweh is our Father. We all hailed from Yahweh. We came from Yahweh. Acts 17:24-25 indicates that He gave all of us life and breath. Verse 29 of Acts 17 says that we are the offspring of Yahweh. Everyone on earth was created by Yahweh. So, those championing the population reduction agenda are obviously out of the will of Yahweh because Yahweh made every single soul and has made adequate provision for their prosperity. When Yahweh placed man on earth, he gave him dominion over the earth. He gave him authority to govern the earth and enjoy prosperity. However, man lost that dominion to the devil. Why is there poverty today? It is simply the result of man’s lose of dominion and authority to the devil. Sin is at the root of penury. The same thing that brought sickness, also brought poverty and that is sin, disobedience and iniquity. To solve the poverty problem requires to remove the cause in the first place. This is exactly what the Father Yahweh accomplished in the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach when He came, died, rose from the dead and ascended to heaven. Yahushua HaMashiach paid the price for the redemption of man. That price delivered man from sin and its consequences – sickness, poverty, servitude to the powers of hell, etc.

THANKFUL FOR JUNE 2023

THANKFUL FOR JUNE 2023

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
II Samuel 22:50 [KJV]

Colossians 3:17 says, ‘And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.’ Whatever you do in word or deed, give thanks to God. Thanksgiving is what brings perfection to whatever you do in word or deed. For instance, prayer is not acceptable without thanksgiving accompanying it (see Philippians 4:6). Thanksgiving is the common denominator for a life of wonders. From 1st June to this last day of June, we have seen the hand of Yahweh releasing deluge of His Word daily for us. The Word has not been scarce at all and for that we owe Him thanks. Here at #WordForTodayDevotional, we dedicate the last day of the month as our thanksgiving day, where we celebrate the grace of Yahweh that has led us thus far in the month. If you are joining us for the first time, get set to thank Yahweh abundantly today, II Thessalonians 2:13, says that we are bound to give thanks to Yahweh always. It is a duty we owe the Lord. Itemize the things for which you are going to be giving thanks and in the list could be items that are yet to be done. Thank Yahweh profusely for them. As you are thanking Yahweh for what you are expecting Him to do, you are prophesying to that item that it is already done. Let see some benefits of returning to the Lord with thanksgiving:

THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE

THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
Hebrews 13:15 (KJV)

A sacrifice is something that costs you something. It is a great value given to propitiate a being. II Samuel 24:24 showed us an example; “And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.” The sacrifice of praise is praise that costs you something. It is praise that is not convenient and which tasks on your will and emotions. It is praise that is required at the most inconvenient time in your life. We shall see an example of the people that offered the sacrifice of praise. Anyone can thank Yahweh and praise Him when the going is smooth and great, but when all situations are contrary, and you still praise, it is a sacrifice at that time. It is important to note that sacrifice brings about speedy divine intervention. We saw how the sacrifice that King David gave brought about divine intervention and termination of the plague. That sacrifice also made that place a landmark till all eternity as the place the temple was later built. Sacrifice is very powerful.

THE STIMULANT FOR PRAISE

THE STIMULANT FOR PRAISE

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil
Psalms 119:162 (KJV)

The Word of life is the greatest stimulant for unending praise. Yahweh’s Word is the energy required for a life of praise. Just catch it, celebrate it, and you are on your way up! “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” (Psalms 119:165) That is why those who are hooked up to the Word are not edgy or easily provoked, but are balanced in their approach to the things of life. They are not controlled or ruled by what they see. Rather, they are ruled by what is written, what they have seen in the Word of Yahweh. In every situation they can see Yahweh saying, “I have a way out for you.” So they keep celebrating the ways of Yahweh, before it becomes “flesh”. Your affection for the Word of Yahweh is what determines the quality of your praise. This is because you praise Him, not for happenings in your life, but for what is written. Your confidence in the Word will command rest in your life; and rest is what provokes praise.
