BLESSINGS
The
blessings of the Lord; it makes one rich and He adds no sorrow Proverbs 10v22.
There are blessings and there are blessings; there are people in the world
today who wish they had not been rich because of their state of living. It is
being said, more money implies more problem. That’s not true when it comes to
kingdom wealth. Ecclesiastes 5v11 says;
“When goods increase, they are increased that
eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of
them with his eyes?”
There are only two sides to life as wealth
increases and they are both determined by God. Kingdom wealth are committed
into the hands of men who are filled with the Holy Ghost like Stephen, Acts
6v3; men who understand the place of wealth in the fulfillment of God’s purpose
on earth. Proverb 10v11 affirms that’s when wealth finds its way into the hands
of the righteous the city is exalted but the wicked will do otherwise.
Money
answers all things and is also described as a defense, Ecclesiastes 10v19b, 7v12.
For these cogent reasons, God is careful
about who He commits His wealth in his hands. The increase of wealth for the
ungodly is very dangerous because it will be accompanied by lots of trouble.
While for the godly, they know that the wealth in their hands is for the
purpose of God on earth and that’s what they use it for. Many are where they
today, not getting answers to their prayers for prosperity because their
request is contrary to their reason for it, James 4v3.
However
if you are asked what blessings are, what would be your response? Because what
men define as blessing is the direct opposite of the real thing. I will like
you to know that blessings are not limited to the acquisition of houses, money
etc as you may define it; somebody was boasting sometime ago and said do you
know how much I spent in the hospital some days ago and here you are giving me this
ridiculous amount of money? Is this your definition of blessings?
Friend
if where you spend your money is awkward places; it’s not God’s blessing,
because He will never permit His blessings to be spent in places like the
hospitals, in court and so on. God’s blessings are meant to be enjoyed and not
only to be enjoyed but also to be a blessing to others. God does not just give
you what you need but also give into your care what others need. Are you rich,
are you really doing what you are supposed to do with that which has been
committed to your hands? “You worked for it” yes but the bible says that what
is it that you have that you did not receive and if you received it why do you
act as though your strength as given it to you, Deuteronomy 8v17-18; for by
strength shall no man prevail, 1Samuel 2v9.
Hence
there is nothing you have that you didn’t receive and let me give you a warning
note; if you refuse to do what you are supposed to do with what has been
committed to your hands, it will be taken away from you and given to someone
else, Luke 19v20-24.
Many
are still what they are today because God knows that they will not do with the
blessings what they are supposed to do with it. Are you one of such? You better
open your HEAVENS by sincerely crying unto GOD now, faithfully promising Him (
YOU CAN’T DECEIVE HIM); that you will be a blessing if He blesses you and seal
it with an oath.
I
will love to read your testimony because God promised me that my teachings will
add value and worth to the hearers. God only blesses givers and they never
lack. So broadening your view of what are entailed in this hamper of blessing
because it goes beyond money and all physical things; it includes your health,
marriage, family, business security etc. however, let’s see our dictionary;
*God's
help: help believed to come from God or another deity
*Religious
act: a ceremony in which an ordained person invokes or claims to bestow divine
help
