Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
(Isaiah 51: 1-3)
God desires that we enjoy Abrahamic blessings. This is why he enjoins us to look unto Abraham. Unless we do the works of Abraham, we can’t access his blessings. Abraham was an embodiment of divine blessings which made him great! Nothing distinguishes like divine blessing (Malachi 3:17).
Divine blessings differentiate between the believers and unbelievers. The blessings of God make the journey of life great!
When you are blessed, it is acknowledged by many people. God’s blessings in the live of his people are never hidden. They keep speaking as long as God is in charge! This is because his blessings make one rich and they add no sorrow to the blessed (Proverbs 10:22)
Also, God’s blessing make one prevail. Abraham’s blessings are being celebrated till date because whatever god does lasts forever (Ecclesiastes 3:14). The gates of hell cannot controvert this truth! It is the blessings of God upon your life determines the level at which you will be distinguished.
That is why in today message, God’s servant, Bishop David Oyedepo reveals to you, the covenant channels of blessing!
Abraham was essentially a product of divine blessings.
…Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
2: 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:
3: 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: 1-3)
The predominant word in the above three verse is “blessing”. So, blessing is the secret behind the making of Abraham nothing distinguishes destiny like blessings. No person prevails by the strength; but blessing is what causes men to prevail (Genesis 49:26)
So, we prevail by the blessings, not by strength, skill, power or by might. The level of the blessings at work in your life determines how distinguishes your journey on earth will become. The blessing of the Lord is what enriches and add no sorrow to it (Proverbs 10:22). Nothing distinguishes destiny like blessings.
Let Us See Some Covenant Channels Of Blessings:
1. OBEDIENCE;
Obedience is a non-negotiable demand! Everyone that wants to enjoy the blessings of God must embrace the law of obedience. Man was a blessed creature (Genesis 1:26-28). Man was put in the garden of blessings and retained there, as long as he was obedient. So, it takes obedience to retain God’s blessings.
If you are a tither, you must continue to be a tither to retain God’s blessings. For instance, to be paid in your work place steadily, you must keep working! So, obedience is the gateway to the blessings of god.
2. GIVING:
In genesis 8:20-22, the bible said Noah built an altar unto God and offered a burnt offering on it. God smelt a sweet savor, and he converted the curse on the earth into a blessing. Giving is one covenant gateway to blessings the bible also says: (proverbs 28:27). Giving is one of the principal channels of blessing
3. ASSOCIATION WITH THE BLESSED:
The company you keep is what determines what accompanies you. Genesis 13:5 said: And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. Lot went with the blessed (Abraham), and he was blessed. Association with the blessed gives you access to God’s blessings.
I will be dropping my pen here but will continue this great topic on Saturday 19th of June, 2010. Till then, stay blessed in the Lord God. Thank you
