Be That Person

 Read Hebrew 1:3

The son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

Who?

Say - Jesus!

He upholds

And maintains

And guides

And propels the universe by His mighty word of power

Say – By Words

Words are the most important and powerful things in the universe. Everything is held in obedience to what He said

See the Moon and the Sun and the stars they stay in orbit because of the word.

The world is formed by the word of God.

Ask your neighbor- who will create your world?

Say- I will create my world by my words.

When we talk about salvation- some will say - I do not believe  

And other will say - I am agreeing to believe in

By their confession with their mouth they will be saved

Why am I talking about confession today?

1. Because God wants to remind you that you were saved from the hell by the word you spoke from your Mouth and believed in your heart

2. God wants you to know that all the angels are subjected to Him and you are in the likeness of God, saved and purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ, you are the coheir with Jesus Christ, so angels are there to serve you as well.     

3. Demons were also the angels, they became demons after they were thrown down from heaven. God wants you to know they will also obey you.

Why?

Say- Because of the blood of Jesus

Read Proverb 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

A simple question-

How will you eat its fruit?

Say – By releasing positive energy

People of God do not be fooled. Let me share one very strong testimony which will open your eyes. Two to three weeks back when we were having prayers for church, God opened one of the member’s eyes and she began to see the angels all around and behind everyone. They were just standing doing nothing but when we began to release word as per the will of God, angels moved immediately into operation.

Now this was the result of positive energy

Think over - what about the result of negative energy

Let us read Job 1:6

See it for yourself, where there are angels and presence of God, Satan is also there.

Negative words which come out of our mouth gives energy to Satan.

Angels need positive energy to work and demons work with the negative energy

Ask your neighbor – how many times have you made demons active?

Satan has no personal energy of his own. He needs negative energy to do his harmful work to you and to others.

Before I go ahead, I want to share a testimony.

My son wanted to study at ORU but things were not easy-

1. We did not have enough money

2.  His scholarship deadline was at the door

3. University required he send his transcript to certain company for evaluation

4. The company demanded that the transcript must have a verification stamp and signature from the education board.

5. It means it would take more than a month for this process before he could complete his application.

I praise God for the wisdom he gave to our son

Our son stood on the promise of God and declared Joshua 10:12 “Let the sun stand still”

He asked us not to speak even a single word of doubt. Whenever he thought we would speak some kind of advice to waver his faith, he would say, “Don’t say a word, devil is here and we should not give him chance to work against my admission.”

So the end result is this, he was late by more than a month but still his sun stood still. They accepted his application for the competition and see what happened, he made it, because of believing in the word and knowing the word of power and not letting devil hear a word of negative energy.

Though the devil was near but he could not do anything!

Praise the Lord!

What we need to do

Say – make a quality choice

1. As per Proverb 18:21 Choose life

2. As per Psalms 107:20 send the word of healing, success, and building

3. As per Mark 10:51 speak the solution to your problems.

“Say- God I have a problem. But here is the promise that answers the problem, as I pray this promise, I am releasing your energy into the problem.”

Now pray the answer

Must Remember-

1. God’s words are His energy and it is always working. Read 2 King 13:21

2. God’s energy opens the door that no one can shut. Read Isaiah 22:22

3. Everything you need is in the word. Psalms 33:6 and 9

4. Jesus is the word He spoke the word and miracles took place, and He is in you.

Be like Joshua, whose sun stood still,

Be like Elijah who spoke and it did not rain

Be like Jesus your master

We do not speak the word because we do not think anything will happen if we do. Our troubles and weaknesses stand over us and if we do not put energy into it to get rid of them, then that is our problem

God has not changed his methods. Read 1 Samuel 3:19

So Samuel grew and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground

God is still looking for people through whom He can speak the word of faith.

Be That Person

Angels Are Listening You!

There are so many different ideas people have about angels, Some think that angels are little, chubby babies flying around holding a little toy disguised as a bow and arrow.
But the Bible describes angels as great, big warriors that are here to guide, protect and deliver us.
Some also think that angels are people who have died.
But the Bible makes a clear distinction between saints and angels. Angels are a different class of beings than humans.
What are angels?
Hebrews chapter 1 verse 14 tells us: "Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?"
Three important facts about angels are mentioned in this verse. Number one, angels are spirits, therefore they are not usually seen.
The second fact reveals that the duty of angels is to minister and serve humans. Humans do not serve angels, angels serve humans.
And the third truth about angels is that their ministry is limited primarily to those who are or will be saved.
They are not required to serve the unsaved; though, because of God's mercy to all, they do help nearly everyone.

ANGELS UNDER THE NEW COVENANT

Hebrews 8:6 says that we have a better covenant based on better promises than people had under the Old Covenant. This is true concerning the ministry of angels.
Under the Old Covenant, the saints did not have authority over the angels, therefore they had to wait on them for help.
Today, angels wait on us because now we can use the name of Jesus, which is a greater name than angels, to dispatch angels to do their work.
Prior to the cross, the scriptures taught that Jesus was "made a little lower than the angels." But the scriptures teach that now he is "crowned with glory and honor" so that angels submit to Him and His name (see Hebrews 2:9, 1 Peter 3:22 and Philippians 2:10).
1 Corinthians 6:3 says that we will judge angels.
The judge is always greater than those who are judged. The scriptures inform us that believers have authority to dispatch angels to minister on their behalf.
Have you been dispatching your angels?
Or have they been sitting idle waiting for you to put them to work?

LOOSING YOUR ANGELS

In Matthew 18:18, Jesus gave the Church the keys of the kingdom of heaven. He said, "Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
Most of us have heard this scripture used to "bind" the devil and demons.
And the Bible does tell us that we can "bind the strong man", and that a mighty angel will "bind the devil for a thousand years". The word "bind" is a term to describe our power to "tie up" Satan.
However, Jesus also said that we have the power to "loose". And what do we loose? Certainly, not Satan.
Then who?
Angels of course
A voice said, "Loose the four angels which are bound...And the four angels were loosed" (Revelation 9:14-15 KJV).
You can readily see that angels are meant to be loosed. And who has the power to loose angels? Jesus said that we do. We have the keys of the kingdom!
You might ask the question, "How do we loose angels?"
I think it would help us to answer this question by going to Psalm 103 and reading verse 20. It says, "Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the VOICE of his word." (KJV)
Notice that angels hearken--listen and act upon--the VOICE of God's Word.
We know that the Bible is God's Word.
But angels don't hearken just to God's Word, but they hearken to the voice of His Word.
Try this-
Take your Bible and place it next to your ear. Stop! Listen!
What do you hear?
NOTHING!
Why?
Because the Bible does not have a voice unless we give it a voice
In other words, angels act on God's Word that we speak out of our mouths. They listen to us speaking God's Word. And when we speak God's Word, angels rush to perform it in our lives.
Can you see how we have hindered angels in performing their duties for us?
We bind angels when we speak contrary to God's Word, and say things such as –
"Nothing ever works out for me."
"If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all."
"I'm so clumsy."
"I can't seem to get out of debt."

ANGELS LISTEN TO OUR WORDS

Jesus said, "Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God" (Luke 12:8, KJV). Jesus declares to the angels what we declare.
When we confessed that Jesus was our Lord, Jesus confessed to the angels that He was our Lord. Angels are aware of what we confess here on earth. Jesus echo's our words to the angels, and depending on what we say, they bring to pass our words.
There's an interesting story in the Bible which illustrates this truth. You know the story. Jesus was tempted by the devil for forty days, and while being tempted Jesus did only one thing: He spoke the Word of God. He kept saying, "It is written...It is written...It is written." After Jesus kept quoting God's Word, the Bible says, "Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him" (Matthew 4:11).
Do you suppose the reason why the angels came to Jesus was because He kept speaking God's Word?
Angels hearken unto the voice of God's Word. Jesus gave voice to the Word, and angels came to minister to Him.
Angels will do the same for you if you will do what Jesus did--and that is speak God's Word!

MAKE GOD YOUR DWELLING

Psalm 91:9-12 says, "If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the Lord, who is my refuge--then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone"
God promises complete protection for the person who makes the Most High his dwelling.
The secret to tapping into the power of this Psalm is to make the Most High your dwelling.
That is the key. God promises protection, so long as you make the Most High your dwelling.
So how do you make God your dwelling?
The answer is at the beginning of this Psalm. It says, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, `He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'" You make the Most High your dwelling the same way that David did--by SAYING OF THE LORD that He is your dwelling!
Your confession that He is your refuge and fortress is what makes God become your refuge and fortress
And what does God do when you confess that He is your refuge and fortress?
He commands His angels to guard you in all your ways so that no harm befalls you nor any disaster overtakes you.
Angels work for you because you confess who God is to you and what He will do for you.
This is what Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did before they were thrown into the fiery furnace. They boldly declared, "The God we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O King!" They stood their ground in faith.
And what was the outcome?
God sent an angel to keep them from burning. The angel heard God's Word coming from the lips of these courageous saints-

FEAR GOD

There is one final scripture that I want to show you that will prove that angels are greatly affected by our words. It is Psalm 34:7: "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them."
The angel of the Lord delivers those who fear God, not who fear tragedy.
And what does it mean to fear God?
Verse 11 and 12 begins by telling us, "Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days."
Angels definitely are involved in prolonging our lives and making our days good. But what is the fear of the Lord?
The next verse says that if you want many good days, then "keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies."
The fear of the Lord is manifested in restraining the tongue. If you fear God, then you will speak the truth.
And what is truth?
Jesus said, "Thy word is truth!" God's Word is the highest form of truth in the universe.
By speaking God's Word, you are keeping your tongue from evil and from speaking lies. And when you do, the angel of the Lord will encamp around you to deliver you in times of trouble. This angel will do this because you show the fear of the Lord by speaking His Word!

Now stand on your feet and speak the word of God, the promises of God for your life and for your family.

Amen!

You Are Called to be Committed

A man is made up of spirit, soul, and body.

Spirit is consists of our conscience and is conscious of God and can fellowship with God.

The soul is consists of the mind (intellect) emotions (feelings) and the will (freedom to choose).

The body is conscious of the physical world through the five physical senses.

WHEN YOU WERE NOT SAVED-

• You were dead in spirit

• Your conscience was burnt like with a hot iron

• Your understanding was darkened

• You were separated from the life of God

• You were under the influence and bondage of the world and Satan

• You were satisfying the desires of the flesh and mind
• You were under the penalty of death

JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS TO TAKE THE PENALTY OF DEATH FOR US.

Read Colossian 1:13-14,

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,  in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins

AND NOW WHEN YOU ARE SAVED-

• You have a new spirit

• You are the temple of the holy spirit

• You can live a sin-less life

• Your conscience is cleansed

• You can walk in the newness of life

• You have eternal life

• You are child of God and He is your father

It means your spirit man which was dead now is alive and needs feeding and training.

Here comes the role of the church. The church means 'the called out ones.

The church is not a building but it consists of all those people who have given themselves unto God and have assembled for worship and fellowship.
            .




Read 1Peter 2:4-10

The church has two main aspects

1. The universal church

2. The local church

To understand the concept of the universal and the local church is something like our society and family. You are like your society but in your family you grow and nurtured. The local church is your family and the universal is your society.

Say – I am a member of a local Church and belong to the body of Christ

KNOW THE FUNCTION OF THE LOCAL CHURCH

1. LOCAL CHURCH IS THE PLACE FOR YOUR GROWTH

• It is extremely important not to exalt the universal church above the local church in our practical living, Read Matthew 18:15-20

• It is the local church where we are going to put our faith into practice, Read Ephesians 4:11-16

• It is the Local Church where you grow to maturity level, Read Romans 12:3-8

• It is the Local Church where your gifting will be recognized, Read Hebrews 13:17

• It is the Local Church where your spiritual parents are and you will be protected

2. IT DEMANDS YOUR COMMITTMENT

What does commitment mean- it means-to cleave to, to be attached to, to join closely or to stick to the side of another.

It means -

• You belong to a specific church family, Read Psalms 68:6

• Support the vision and direction of that family

• Be willing to come under the authority in that family, Read Hebrews 13:17

• Give your time and energy to that family

• Be committed to the gathering time of that family Hebrews 10:25

• Give financial support to that family

• Be a help to the member of that family it will make your family prosperous

• Bear the burden of each other in that family Galatians 6:2

How does your commitment cause you to grow under a local church?

You need to check yourself-

1. Are you FAT

• F- Faithful

• A- Available

• T- Teachable

Then you must know that you are growing each day, Read Acts 2:42

2. Be under the submission of

• God’s word and

• Those over you, Read Hebrews 13:7-9

Then-

Your commitment will produce responsibility to –

• Seek God’s calling and His will

• Acknowledge God’s ownership

• Reach out through giving

God is showing his body the need for being committed in these days. If you are not in specific place of commitment then you are in false commitment.

To say that you are committed to what God is doing in a general way and not identify with a local church in a specific way is to dwell carelessly and it could lead to deceptions.

For a child to do this in the natural is something - to say that he belongs to the great family of mankind but refuses to identify with a specific natural family where he can grow and nurtured, it would seem ridiculous.

Yet how many of God’s people desire to identify with the universal body of Christ but refuse to identify and commit themselves to a local assembly?

Why!

Say – Training is hard so they prefer to live in false commitment

May God help the body of Christ to understand the meaning of commitment so that their mind body and spirit comes under the perfect healing by the grace of God

If you recognize God has called you to be committed to this family and us as your parents, stand on your feet and confess your sins and have communion with us so that God can heal you mind, body and spirit.

Amen!

What is your Family!

The understanding of one’s backgrounds is very important. It makes or mars one’s spirituality. The things of the world are carnal or physical. It means these are temporary. But things of the spiritual are permanent and eternal.

Background of idolatry, witchcraft, bloodshed, curses, sexual immorality etc. holds a strong impact on one’s family. These are negative foundations of families. These have serious hold on a man. These are illegal things for man and gives legal ground to devil to hold one into the captivity.

Read Revelation 12:10

 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:“Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. 

For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

These kinds of things give access to the devil and he refuses to release a person from his trap. From time to time, the enemy rides on these negative foundations to attack, oppress and make claims on families.

Several homes today are in cages and their destinies are held bound. Often times this evil captivity of peoples’ destinies are results of rivalries, competitions or inheritance.

Read Genesis 37:8

His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.

Joseph and his brothers is a good example for understanding how family members can be jealous of their own brothers and sisters and hinder the destiny.

Today those who do not know Christ use different satanic ways to oppress or hold in captivity the family members. While others use evil forces to outdo their colleagues or classmates or neighbours etc.

I still remember once we went to pray for a person in the hospital. There was a young girl of 14 years next to his bed. They told us she became blind all of a sudden. We prayed for her and asked her when and how it happened. She told us that she had a party at her friend’s house since then she developed certain blur in her eyes and when she woke up was unable to see. We prayed for her and broke the spirit of jealousy and competition. After two days when we went to see that person, they told us she began to see the very next day and was discharged from the hospital.

Say - Wherever my destiny has been buried I command it to come to freedom right now in Jesus Name

The evil foundation is ungodly and people are blinded.

Read 2 Corinthians 4:4

 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Ungodly cultures, traditions, values, mindset, marital beliefs and ways of life of a tribe or family can prevent a person to reach to his God given destiny.

Think! and notice all these festival has involvement of some rituals!

Think! Is it as per the word of God!

Think! Why does it require all the family members to be present and participate in rituals!

Think!

It happens every year and every year the covenants with the other gods are renewed!

Why?

Simple, the spirit involved behind those worshiping demands and by that they get stronger in the hold from one generation to another.

 Read Psalms 78:58-64

They angered him with their high places; they aroused his jealousy with their idols. 

When God heard them, he was furious; he rejected Israel completely. He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent he had set up among humans. He sent the ark of his might into captivity, his splendor into the hands of the enemy. He gave his people over to the sword; he was furious with his inheritance.  Fire consumed their young men, and their young women had no wedding songs; their priests were put to the sword, and their widows could not weep.

It is very obvious due to their practices they were brought into captivity, some died prematurely and some had great difficulty in their lives and some had difficulty in marriage or experienced delays or no peace in the family.

Idolatry of our forefathers always leaves behind curses, stagnancy, failure in marriages, profitless hand work pre-mature deaths etc.

Say- father’s house, release me now!

Even sexual immorality is deadly and it is a sin against one’s body, which makes its consequences transferable from one generation to another.

You need to ask God to destroy the sexual immorality in you and in your family in Jesus name.

Read Zechariah 3:1-5, 

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.” Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the LORD stood by.

A careful study of this reveals devil was standing near Joshua to stop him to be before God for he was not clean as a result of his sinful background. Joshua was a leader. It was important for him to be right before God, so that he could lead and help his people.

Are you a leader of a church or family or office?

It is important for you to stand right with God.

Do you understand?

Sometime you find people accuse you or say bad about you on the basis of your past and you feel hurt and you become discouraged.

Right!

Say- My past will not haunt me I have the righteous garment of blood of Jesus

What does it mean to you when you dream and see yourself in front of “altars, shrines, village square (chauraha), ancient family homes or having sex in the dream?

These are the results of sins not dealt yet and those covenants made by you or your fathers pull you back because your name is still written there.

Another thing you notice when each time you see such type of dreams your prayer life goes down. That is why you are up today, and tomorrow you are down spiritually, financially and health wise as well. Right!

What should we do now?

Go before God in repentance and aggressively deal with your foundations in warfare prayers. The door of breakthrough will open to you.

I pray that every spirit of rejection shall die in your life in Jesus name and you and your household shall be remembered before God in Jesus name.

If you do not deal with personal sins and the iniquities of your father’s house, it becomes your filthy garment, then how will you reach to your God given destiny

Take a look at your life when people are blindly following the spirit of festival and falling into the trap of devil

Let’s Pray

Father, I thank you for opening my eyes to these truths. I repent for every hidden generational sin of idolatry, sexual immorality and bloodshed in Jesus Name

Oh Lord, let the voice of the blood of Jesus silence every voice against me and my family in Jesus Name

Oh Lord for every filthy garments upon me, have mercy and remove them from me in Jesus Name

Father, give me appetite for holiness in Jesus Name

Oh Lord as your servant, deliver my fellowship or church from being empty in Jesus Name

The terrible evil foundation of my family will not terminate my life and destiny in Jesus Name

Out of your mercies Lord clothe me with new garment in Jesus Name

I receive courage to stand sanctified and pray in Jesus Name

I receive grace to meet the needs of people in Jesus Name

My generation shall not miss their blessings or be delayed because of their past in Jesus Name

Amen!

God desires for His children to live longer with satisfaction.
Read Psalms 91:16
"With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation".
But some people live in bondage, die early, remain sick, live in lack and do not come to their potential.
This is the big question of today!
Think!
God has spent his precious time to create man, and if the creation of the creator suffers or dies early, will it not be the waste of His resources.
Say - God wants us to live longer with victory
Sometimes, some people die all of a sudden at the time when they were needed the most
Think!
Children, young man, woman and middle aged person die, all of a sudden!
How can God waste his resources!
Say - It is a satanic onslaught against the mankind
Read John 10:10
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
say - The agenda of Satan is to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus came to give us life
Devil delights making man unhappy and wasting precious lives that God has worked on
My prayer - May the Lord cover your head at all times in Jesus Name
Some powerful Prayers-
Father I thank you in Jesus Name that my sins are forgiven, and I am filled with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit please guide me to pray I ask you in Jesus Name. Amen
- Arrows of sudden destruction, death flying around my family, business, health and relation we are not your candidates. I send you back in Jesus Name!
I back Fire you in Jesus Name!
- My blood, hard work or sweat shall be poisonous in your mouth in Jesus Name
- My life and that of my family will not be wasted in Jesus Name
- By the power of Holy Ghost Fire I delete my name or names of every member of my family from your sudden destruction register in Jesus Name

- As per Psalms 140:7, my head receive a covering from sudden destruction or damage in Jesus Name
- Any destruction or death fired into my life to weaken my faith die by Holy Ghost fire in Jesus Name
- You agents of death assigned to waste my life or that of my family be arrested by Holy Ghost fire in Jesus Name
- By the benefit of blood of Jesus on the cross, let every death or destructive criminals living around me be exposed in Jesus Name
- Lord let your fire fall on every demonic altar raised for sudden destruction in my neighborhood, village or Nation in Jesus Name
- Lord, as per Psalms 79:11 arise and frustrate every appointment with sudden destruction or death altar over my life in Jesus Name
- Lord, as per Psalms 116:8 deliver my soul or that of my family from death or destruction or my eyes from tears or my feet from falling in Jesus Name
- Lord as per Psalms 140:1 deliver me from evil and violent man in Jesus Name
- Lord as per Psalms 140:8 nullify every prayers of sudden death or destruction against me or my family in Jesus Name
- You sudden death or destruction arrows in Jesus name I BACK FIRE!
STAND UP and Say these prayers very strongly with a fight in the spirit. At the end you will feel peace.
This will satisfy your soul and give you long life
Remember what Psalms 91:16 says, "With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation".

Amen

Building The Temple Of God

Why do we work?
Just to survive?
No!
We are called to be a blessing. This is why devil fights the teaching on giving so hard.
Devil doesn’t want us to be a blessing!
Meaning of blessing in simple words is making happy
How can you really make someone happy if you do not favor the person?
If God has no intention to prosper His people, favor his people, why would He bless them, why would He give them prosperity scriptures.
Say – It is a million Dollar question!
Let us first understand the coming of Jesus,
Read John 10:10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
What was so wrong among us that Jesus had to come to destroy that?
Read Deuteronomy 28:47-48
Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
The experience of curses, poverty is vivid. It says-
Hunger
Thirst
Nakedness and
Awful Poverty
This is why Jesus the son of God had to come.
Now let us see the description of the cross. Jesus was –
Hungry
Thirsty
Naked and
Lost Everything
To fulfill the promise for our prosperity Jesus had to die hungry, thirsty and naked as atonement for our poverty so in turn we become a blessing.
Oh what a privileged generation we are
Say – We are privileged generation
I can share 3 simple truths about blessings, which I have learnt through my walk with Christ
1. There is a purpose for us to be blessed
2. There is a promise of God for us to be blessed
3. The blessing is precondition
 Read Genesis 12:2
I will make you a great nation; I will bless you
And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.
God blessed Abraham for the nations. Through Abraham we are blessed.
God blesses us financially for the preaching of His kingdom. The purpose of blessing is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. That is why He says bring your tithes to the store house, where there is food (spiritual food) for you
God is called El Shaddai, God of abundance. Jesus says I have come to give you life more abundantly. God has promised and He will bless His people.
Say – I am destined to be blessed
But dear friends you must know that blessing is precondition as well
God’s love is unconditional, Jesus died while we were sinners, He gave us salvation as a free gift but blessing is precondition
Say – Blessing is precondition
Read Haggai 1:6
You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough;
You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm;
And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.
What is God telling us here?
It tells us very clearly that people are working hard but still far from the favor of God
Why?
 Read Haggai 1:8-9
Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the LORD. “You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house”
There are two truths about prosperity
1. Hard Work
2. Generosity
Do not limit yourself for the kingdom of God; serve him with your tithes and offerings.
The Law of tithes initiates God to bless us
Read Malachi 3:10-12
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts,
If I will not open for you the windows of heaven. And pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. “ And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”
Says the LORD of hosts; And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the LORD of hosts.
The law of offering brings God into partnership with our business.
Read Proverb 11:24
“There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty.”  Proverb 11:24
Say – We can never out give God
Say – There are two truths about prosperity
1. Hard Work
2. Generosity
There is no way we can be victorious in our jobs and finances if we miss any of these truths.
Say – I am building God's temple
Say – I am following the principles of God.
Prayer- Father in Jesus name, we thank you for your word which teaches us to prosper and keep in perfect health. I ask the grace of God to rest upon me so that we can be humble, hard working, greedless and generous in giving.
Amen
