I AM BLESSED, I HAVE NO LACK (PART 1 OF 3)

4th DECEMBER 2022

“Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments – Deuteronomy 7:9

As humanity continues to struggle for survival amidst disease, ignorance and poverty, be assured that everything is fine. Have no doubt, for God is restoring creation back to His original agenda, and all aspects of your life are equally receiving divine touch this minute.  Notwithstanding the fact that the thick clouds of poverty and calamity still loom in most places, causing fear of survival, still, I say to you, do not worry, everything is fine.

God is always alive to His avowed responsibilities to His people or humanity in general. First, we become God’s people by following God and doing His commandments. In return, He becomes our God by fulfilling all His promises to us. Therefore, God is unstoppable in terms of taking care of our needs. Everything we need from God is already provided; we only need to ask for it and then receive by his power and authority. When God gives, He adds no sorrow to it! Therefore, this is the time to ask and receive from God.

What has happened to us in the past is that we suffer too long for wants of obedience to God’s commandments and for lack of faith in God. For instance, Job was tested for his faith, and he passed the test, and that made God to restore him double for all the things that He lost.

Note that we are often tested in areas of our weaknesses. If you are sexually weak, you will be tested in that area, if you are greedy, your test will come in that area. But as soon as you get the lesson, you are quickly restored. But if you are adamant and don’t want to change, then your suffering might continue.  Therefore, what is required of you when you pray, is to listen to the Spirit as He gives revelation on the important steps you must take to pull out of the darkness of poverty, disease and ignorance.

Certainly, God wants you to do certain things which He considers very important for Him to change your life for good.  So, please listen to Him, and obey.  God gives willingly to everyone who asks, not only to Christians. But He gives to humanity generally, provided they obey and have faith in Him. That is the reason non-Christians have a fulfilled life.

Another major reason we are not overcoming challenges is our mindset. Sometimes, our mindset goes against God’s nature, and therefore, we suffer consequently.  For instance, God’s divine nature is love, forgiveness, tolerance, peace, etc.  Some don’t believe in forgiving those who offend them, they don’t love anyone, except members of their church or immediate family etc.  To overcome that weakness, we must follow God’s principles of forgiveness, tolerance, peace and love.  If we walk in God’s divine nature by expressing love, forgiveness and tolerance according to His divine principles, He will make us partake of His already-established plan and purpose for us.  The choice is entirely ours at this point.

Some complained about abundance and prosperity. What you need in life has already been provided by God. Pray and ask for divine guidance, and you will receive it according to the level of your faith. God is waiting for you to ask; Please ask and receive accordingly.

As you walk by faith, endeavour to live above the fear of the devil and give thanks to God for the opportunity to embrace His plan and purpose. Whatever you want, the heavenly hosts will conspire to bring it about for you. The devil cannot stop your legitimate gift from God.

Remember, when we live in fear, negative things happen to us. Jesus says to Jairus, ‘Don’t be afraid; just believe.’” ~ Mark 5:36. Jesus made that statement even when it was clear that Jairus’s daughter was dead. This means that fear prevents the power of God from working for us. The Master also tells us not to worry about anything whatsoever. (Luke 12:22-26) Also, Isaiah echoed God’s mind for us when God says, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)

Now beloved, take a deep breath and when you breathe out, RELEASE all your fears and worries. Do not focus on what you think the devil has done to you. Rather, focus on God and hold onto Him; Don’t let Him go until He releases your blessings.  Furthermore, when you pray, believe that you have received it already.  Listen to the Spirit for guidance on the steps to take to receive your blessings.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for the revelation of your word. You are my provider and strong tower.  Everything I need, I now receive by your name and authority. AMEN.
