MUSIC / INTRO
Do the RIGHT thing!
"Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto
the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that you may
LIVE, and go in and POSSESS the land which the LORD God of your
fathers gives you." [Deuteronomy 4:1]
The Hebrew word for "live" in the above passage is
"chayah" meaning "to keep alive, nourish,
recover, repair, restore, and be whole."
The Hebrew word for "possess" used above is
"yarash" which means "to occupy by driving
out previous tenants and possessing in their place, to seize, to
inherit, to take possession."
In the parable of the nobleman [Luke 19:13] Jesus alluded to the
fact that we need to "occupy, or do business" until He
returns again. We need to be good stewards of our
resources:
The Greek word for "occupy" is
"pragmateuomai" which means "to busy
oneself, to trade." In other words, strive to be
productive and successful while you are carrying out the Lord's
business. Don't become inactive. Live a long life
and succeed . . . take possession of the enemy's territory and rule
it! (See “Note” at the end of these shownotes.)
MUSIC
This is one aspect of the ABUNDANT LIFE which the Messiah of Israel
promised us: not only LIFE but FLOURISHING LIFE.
Moses instructed the people of Israel, "Set your hearts unto
all the words which I testify among you this day, which you shall
command your children to observe and do, all the words of this law.
For it is not a VAIN thing for you; because it [the Word of God] is
your LIFE; and through this thing you shall PROLONG your days in
the land, where you go over Jordan to POSSESS it."
[Deuteronomy 32:46-47]
The Hebrew word for "vain" above is
"req" which means "futile."
It is saying in the original Hebrew that the Word of God is
"not empty or worthless" but it will . . . if you observe and do it
. . . give you LONG LIFE and SUCCESS in driving out the enemy and
POSSESSING his territory. Here's what you can count
on:
Length of days, wholeness and nourishment, success, and
possession of the inheritance are yours!
In one of King David's Psalms he writes, "By this I know that
You are well pleased with me, because my enemy does not triumph
over me." [Psalm 41:11]
MUSIC
Scripture also tells us, "When a man's
ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with
him." [Proverbs 16:7]
As God gives you success, and as you drive out the enemy and
possess his land, people will many times be jealous of you.
Sometimes these may be brethren in the faith who are jealous of
you. The enemy of your soul will try many ways to oppress you and
to destroy your HEALTH. If your health (mental, physical, or
spiritual) is weakened you will not be able to fight strongly and
you will not live a long life to keep administering the areas God
has given you to possess.
You must have BOTH success and a long life
of wholeness in order to administer effectively the areas
He gives you to possess. Unless God has chosen you to be a
martyr, you must have health, length of days, and a long life to
maximize the occupation of your victory!
This is why you must not only LISTEN and OBSERVE the Word of the
Lord, but you must DO His Word. Then you will LIVE and POSSESS the
land . . . and you will PROLONG YOUR DAYS in the land you go to
POSSESS. [Deuteronomy 4:1 and 32:46-47]
Proverb 28:9 tells us, "One who turns away his ear from hearing
the law, even his prayer is abomination."
MUSIC
The great passage that sparked the Reformation in the time of
Martin Luther was Habakkuk 2:4: "Behold, his soul which is
lifted up is not upright in him; but the just shall LIVE by his
FAITH." It is literally saying that the person whose
soul is "swelled" or "presumptuous" is not "straight or right" . .
. not "pleasant or prosperous." The root word for
"LIVE" in this passage is the same Hebrew word
"chayah" used in Deuteronomy 4:1 that we discussed
above, and means "to keep alive, nourish, recover, repair,
restore, and be whole."
In other words, the person who does WHAT IS RIGHT will be continue
to be nourished, restored, and whole by means of the FIRMNESS and
CONSISTENCY of his faith: his fidelity and conscientiousness!
Because of his solid belief he does the right thing!
"A FAITHFUL man will abound with blessings, but he who hastens
to be rich will not go unpunished." [Proverbs 28:20] The word
for "faithful" here used is from the same root as the word for
"faith" in Habakkuk 2:4. A man of firmness and stability through
faith will have abundant blessings.
Moses said, "I have set before you life and death, blessing and
cursing . . . choose LIFE so that you and your children may LIVE so
that you may LOVE the LORD your God, that you may OBEY His voice,
and that you may CLING to Him, for He is your LIFE and the LENGTH
of your DAYS, and that you may dwell in the land . . ."
[Deuteronomy 19-20]
Do the RIGHT thing!
