The Blessing For Divine Protection And Preservation

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:2-3

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A blessed man does not fight his own battles; God fights for him.

In our study yesterday, we saw that the blessing imparts greatness and prominence in life. Today, we shall see how the blessing of God carries Divine protection and preservation. God told Abraham that anybody who blessed him would be blessed and anybody who cursed Him would be cursed. A blessed man, therefore, does not fight his own battles; God fights for him. That is why you should be careful how you touch or tamper with a man who carries the Anointing and Blessing of God on his life. There are people who have not recovered from some problems in life because of how they opened their mouths carelessly to speak against a man who carries the Blessing. This is because God Himself fights for the blessed.

When a man carries the blessing on his life, to fight him is to fight and engage the ‘Blesser’ (God). God will assist anyone who assists the blessed and hinder anyone who resists them. As a blessed person, anyone who says to you, ‘It will be well with you’, cannot see the end of wellness in his life. But anyone who says, ‘It will not be well with you’, God will baptise him with tribulation.

The mystery of Divine protection and preservation was the mystery at work in the life of Abraham when Abimelech, the king of Gerar took his wife. Though Abraham could not speak for himself, in the night, God fought for him. Genesis 20:3tells us that God appeared to Abimelech in the dream of the night and said to him, ‘Behold, you are a dead man. The fact that you are hearing me now does not mean you are alive. You have died; you are only waiting to be buried’(Genesis 20:3 paraphrased). Why? He took the wife of a blessed man; he touched the woman that belonged to a covenant partner of God. From today, anywhere you arrive, a Supernatural aura of defence will surround you, in Jesus’ Name.

ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Cease to rely on your own strength and let God fight your battles.
2. Be a carrier of the Blessing.

PRAYER: I am too blessed to be destroyed; I am too blessed to be wasted, in Jesus’ Name.
