Don’t abort your blessing
Heb 6:13-15 (KJV)
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
Heb 6:12-15 And so after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
In this epistle Paul writes to the converted Jewish Christians. Reminding them that Jesus….. came to do away with the law… and Judaism. Paul also directs their attention to one very important fact. That through Jesus we (they) have inherited the promise GOD swore to Abraham. The scripture states that the promise GOD made to Abraham was made specifically to his seed and not his seeds. It is important that we get and understanding of this covenant. The covenant GOD made not to be fulfilled for 42 generations. These are the generations from Abraham to Jesus. Abraham’s seeds would be his offspring his children. However the promise of GOD for Abraham seed to inherit the earth was to Christ....Guess what saints because Jesus is Abraham’s seed,…because…..the covenant is for Jesus to inherit the Earth because of that fact we the brothers and sisters of Christ inherit the promise………..We are co-inheritors with Christ….
GOD has promised to bless us and multiply us if only we are faithful and put our trust in him………We are a blessed people set apart a peculiar people…Surely GOD has heard the cry of his people in this wretched land………..
All who belong to Christ inherit this promise. GOD has replaced that which was lost through the garden of Eden….and that was the opportunity to obtain eternal life…..GOD has impregnated someone….. with a dream and it seems…… like you just can’t see….. how it’s going to come to pass. Someone can see their future and the gifts GOD has for them……. But It seems like you always fall short. We serve a GOD….. who knows no limits….. and has no failures. Don’t worry about the fact…. that sometimes it seems like you can’t find your way through…….because the GOD we serve is a way maker…… and he’ll make a way out of no way. As a matter of fact,….. he’ll use that same one who is trying to hold you back and keep you down…. To deliver you out of your situation and into your blessing..…
He loves to make our enemy, our footstool. He has a habit of taking what was meant for evil and turning it into a blessing. That’s the kind of GOD we serve. We serve a miracle working GOD one who just loves to show up and show out. We’re pregnant with expectation….expectation of blessing for friendship….expectation of a blessing for the membership….expectation of a blessing for the entire pulpit. Expectation, of a blessing for the Pastor.
We have to expect something from GOD, to exhibit faith….. and when we exhibit faith we cause GOD to move.
When Joshua marched around the walls of Jericho he expected something from GOD. He expected GOD to go before him in battle and deliver Jericho…….because he waited without giving up and endured he was able to inherit his promise. When we ask GOD for something we must come before the throne boldly. Stand on the promises and word of GOD as Joshua commanded the sun to stand still in Gibeon and the moon to stay over valley of Ajalon. Until Israel had avenged itself…..GOD hears those who come before him righteously.
1 Cor 2:9 (KJV)
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
This tells me GOD has blessings for us that we cannot phantom in our small minds…If COULD only BUT tap into our GOD given destiny.
GOD desires to do the unbelievable and impossible. We don’t give him a chance to… The problem is we have lowered our standards and our prayers have become repetitious and complacent.
In order to see the glory of GOD…..WE must pray for those things which serve to glorify GOD………..
When was the last time someone prayed for the mantle of Elijah or Elisha Or a preacher prayed for the anointing of Peter… or the conviction of Paul…..In order that the world might see the power of GOD……We would rather say those are just good bible stories
When was the last time we prayed for the deliverance of a lost people….. like Moses did. When was the last time, we layed prostate on our faces and fasted…… for those lost in sin and laid there until…………. GOD answered?
