Summary: A call on Christians to please God with their lives for God to bless them
One of the greatest favours that you can do to yourself is for you to so please God in such a way that God will be concerned about you. How can you live the life similar to that of Elisha for God to send somebody to you to bless you with a special blessing that you have not asked for?. What should you be doing as a child of God for your own Elisha to receive the mantle of your Elijah?
I travelled to Johannesburg, South Africa, some time ago, where I decided to eat in a restaurant As I was eating, I saw a young girl who on account of her age ought to be in the University. The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart that the young lady who was serving food was working in order to raise funds to further her education. When I got this revelation in my spirit, I beckoned to her and when she came, I gave her all the coins in my pocket. I know she must have wondered what made me to do what I did. Beloved, for that lady that day, she received the blessings that she did not ask for. Beloved it is a good prayer if you pray that: “Oh God, let me start to receive the blessing that I have not asked for in the name of Jesus”, or “ O God, bless me , beyond what I can ask for, in the name of Jesus, Amen”.
Beloved, I want you to get this clear, I am not saying that you should not pray or that prayer is not important. Prayer is very essential for every believer on a daily and regular basis. Bible says, pray without ceasing (I Timothy 5 vs. 17). Beloved, what I am putting to you today , is that, there is a way that you will please God; your Father, and He will look at you and say “my son or daughter, I am pleased with the way you are living; therefore, I am giving you this and that, which you have not asked for.” Your life can attract great blessings which you have not asked for , just by living a life that is pleasing to God.. What this means, is that, there are many people who are praying and asking God to ‘bless them’, when the real prayers that they need to be praying is ” My life, start to please God, in the name of Jesus”. Beloved, you can attract the blessings that you have not asked for.
What is a blessing?
A blessing is a force that draws goodness upon a life, a place, a situation or a thing. Beloved, when the blessing comes upon your life, good things will be attracted to you. As you read this message, it is my prayer that your life will start to attract goodness in the mighty name of Jesus.
A blessing is a spiritual summon on good forces to help you to succeed. For example when somebody looks at you, opens his mouth and starts to spiritually summon forces to help your life. When parents bless their children, what they do is to command good things o start to happen upon the lives of their children. The same is true of the opposite of blessings. When parents curse their children, what they do is to ask the forces of goodness to depart and run away from such children. I pray that you will bless and not curse your own children, in the name of Jesus, Amen
