Blessed By the Blessed God
Focus:
Scriptures:
| Genesis 12:1-3 | Job 5:17-18 | Deuteronomy 8:9-19 |
Points:
Blessings have two sides, adversity and prosperity.
We are blessed by God when we obey Him.
Christians are suppose to exchange blessings.
God is blessed when we speak His Word.
Summary:
Blessings include adversity and prosperity. The scriptures tell us that God can wound and make whole. Nevertheless, many believe that adversity does not come from God. God does allow adversity so that we won't forget Him. When adversity comes in the name of the Lord, we have an expected end. We who are blessed of God, can rejoice in adversity. He has specific places He wants us to bless and receive blessings. It is more profitable for us to stay in the will of God than to go our own way. If we love Jesus and keep His commandments, the earth and the fullness thereof is attracted to us. However, the devil can open doors too. So, we must be careful. We must love and obey God with all our passions, not just mechanically. Because God blesses us, we should bless one another. Blessings are not just monetary. When we preach God's Word, we bless God, others, and ourselves. The Word is a generator. Don't be a light bulb with no light.
