You Do Not Have To Beg To Be Blessed

          

For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. Psalms 5:12

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The righteous do not beg to be blessed.

Our anchor Scripture tells us that the Lord will bless the righteous. That is to say the righteous man or woman does not beg to be blessed. They do not need a special prayer and fasting in order to be blessed by God. To be blessed therefore is a natural realm of the righteous. That is why you should never allow any devil deceive you that you are suffering because you are a Christian. Don’t buy the false idea of the enemy that says, ‘Until you compromise and receive or give a bribe like others, you will not be rich or successful.’ That is a lie from the devil because in the Scriptures, Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Esther and David were all blessed in righteousness. They stood for God in their respective generation and as a result, they became the most blessed in their generations.

I don’t care how corrupt and dark the nation or land may be, because Isaiah 60:1–2 says, ‘Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people.’ That is to say, the whole land might be full of darkness, with all manner of confusion, iniquity and wickedness, but even in the midst of that, ‘The Lord shall rise upon you and His glory shall be seen on your life’ (Isaiah 60:2b). You shall see the glory of God on your life in a short while, in Jesus’ Name. Beloved, it really pays to be righteous because the righteous do not beg to be blessed.

ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Try as much as possible not to compromise your faith in your office, business environment, etc.
2. Endeavour to live in righteousness by letting the Bible (the Word of God) guide your steps.

PRAYER: Lord, put in me a hunger and thirst for Your righteousness, in Jesus’ Name.
