THE PURPOSE OF PROSPERITY (3): SO YOU CAN BLESS THE POOR
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25:40 (KJV)
The poor around you are Yahweh-given assets for your increase in life. So celebrate every opportunity with excitement. Matthew 26:11 says, “There’s always somebody in need just around the corner. For ye have the poor always with you…” Deuteronomy 15:11 also adds, “For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.” When you open up your bowels, heaven’s windows also opens in your direction. One of the reasons Yahweh blesses us is so that we can bless the poor around us, to open our hands wide towards the poor and rescue them from the jaws and plague of poverty. Until your arms are open wide to the needy, Yahweh’s window stays shut over you. If you eat all your food and drink your water alone, it will soon run dry. There’s an opportunity around you there, grab it! You may say, “There was somebody I helped the other day, and he did this, he did that”, recounting some negative experiences you had in the past. No! Just keep reaching out to the poor and needy. Don’t say, “When I have a big house…” It’s a big heart you need, not a big house!
Proverbs 19:16-17 says, “He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Giving to the poor is a commandment. Verse 16 established it as a commandment and verse 17 gives us an understanding of that commandment. Having pity on the poor is lending unto the Lord; and you by so doing commit Adonai to give it back to you. And of course, when you lend to a man bigger than you, when he’s repaying you, it’s always with a bonus. When you lend to a man bigger than you, you’re securing extraordinary favours in your direction. Yahweh said, “Owe no man anything.” So there’s nothing that you lend to Him that is lost. If He says, “He that gives to the poor lendeth to the Lord,” then you’re through, because you are sure He will repay you. It’s a privilege to lend to the Lord by giving to the poor. You have a guarantee of returns.
Proverbs 14:31 says, “He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.” So, when you have mercy on the poor, you’re honouring Yahweh. Now, join this with 1 Samuel 2:30, “… for them that honour me I will honour...” When you’re meeting the needs of the poor according to the grace of Yahweh on your life, you are securing honour from heaven. The poor is your opportunity to enter into a dimension that humanity will envy you. Selah!
REMEMBER: Prosperity is for you to bless the poor.
CONFESSION: I am a blessing to the people around me. My delight is in seeing the poor enjoy the blessing of the Lord upon my life. I thank You Lord!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: May your bowels be supernaturally enlarged for the poor from this day in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
