Memorise: Israel
There are
different kinds of blessings, but there is a kind of blessing that comes from
God alone. This is the blessing that has no boundary. It is from above where
God sits to coordinate the affairs of His people. Today, the blessing of God
will locate you wherever you are in Jesus’ name. If you must prosper the way
God desires, you cannot afford to ignore the presence of God.
Those who
have succeeded exceedingly in life are those whose source of blessing is God.
When the presence of God is with you, He causes whatever you lay your hands
upon to prosper. With little effort, you enjoy great favour and you become a
channel of blessings to others around you.
If you
study the biblical men of faith; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you will notice that
God was not only interested in giving them blessings that will be
sufficient for them alone, He was interested in blessing them to a point that
they become channels of blessings to others. Do you know God can bless you so
much that your driver becomes a millionaire just from driving you? He told
Abraham.
“And I
will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name
great; and thou shall be a blessing” Genesis 12:2
The
blessing that came from above into the life of Abraham made a great nation out
of him. That blessing gave him such a great name that there was no nation where
his name was not known. The name attracted so many blessings to his life
that he became a great possessor of vast expanses of land and today, his seed
are all over the world. God can make you a man or woman of great wealth and
power. No matter how dry your ground may be at the moment; He can raise
greatness out of it and make your little one become a thousand. The outpouring
of God’s blessing upon your life can move you beyond the point of daily
provision and mere survival, to the point in which you become the talk of
nations because of how frightening your blessings have become. Peter who toiled
all night and caught nothing became the talk of the town when he experienced a
net-breaking blessing. I have always said that a day is coming and that season
is here for a reader of this devotional, that when you take your money to the
bank, the bank manager will order that the branch be shut down for three days
to other customers just because they are attending to you.
For you to
achieve this level of blessing, you need to understand that it will not come
easy, but you need not be discouraged because God is ever faithful and He knows
the path to take you through to get there. God is the fountain of all honour
and it is from Him that promotion comes. What you are going through at the
moment may not show that you are a candidate for this kind of blessing but you
need to know that the plan and purpose of God for your life cannot be denied.
Your faith and obedience will be tried. You need to be separated and set aside
for God alone.
Those who
forsake their sins and turn to God will get blessings that they never bargained
for. You have to take your mind off the mundane things of this world and step
up into the higher ground of what God is prepared to do with your life.
Key Point:
Until there is a departure from the little things, there will be no discovery
of greater things.
Bible in one year: Hebrews 5:10-8:13, Psalms 24
