THE BLESSINGS THAT WE MUST SEEK FROM THE LORD
********************************************
1.PRESENCE
Matthew 28:20 Hebrews 13:5-6 Judges 16 : 20-21
The presence of God is a great blessing in our life. The Lord has promised to be with us till the end of the world. He has promised never to leave us or forsake us. This gives us great confidence in every situation that we face in our lives. We must be careful not to lose the presence of God in our lives. Samson failed to preserve the presence of God in his life and suffered greatly as a result.
2.PEACE
Luke 10 : 5 John 14 : 27 Philippians 4: 6-7
The peace of God is a great blessing in our life. The Lord has promised His peace for us . This is not the peace which the world gives. But this is a divine peace beyond human comprehension which we can enjoy even in the midst of trials and tribulations . We must cast our cares upon the Lord and walk in divine peace. We should not allow the circumstances of life to make our life miserable.
3.PROSPERITY
Psalm 112:1-3 Philippians 4:19 II Corinthians 8:9
The prosperity of God is a great blessing in our life. The Lord has promised to bless us and meet out needs. When we walk in the fear of God and keep His commandments we are blessed with His provision. The Lord Jesus became poor in order to bless us in our lives. True prosperity is having God as the source of supply for all our needs. We are not limited by our resources but we depend on God’s resources for our needs to be met.
4.PROTECTION
Psalms 121 :7 Psalms 91:1-16 II Timothy 4:18
The protection of God is a great blessing in our life. The Lord has promised to preserve us from all evil. We must stay under His divine protection. The world we live is filled with many dangers . There are many dangers to our soul , body, emotions, family , finances , happiness etc .The dangers are both visible as well as invisible . There are many hidden snares waiting to destroy us . Therefore we must seek God’s divine protection for our lives.
5.PATRONAGE
Daniel 1:9 Luke 2 :52 Genesis 39 :21
The patronage and favour of God is a great blessing in our life. This favour of God causes us to receive favour in the eyes of people and earthly authorities as well. This favour and grace of God upon our lives opens many doors of opportunities for us . In this world where we have to deal with so many people and officials we must seek God’s divine favour and patronage in our lives.
6. PURITY
Jude 1:24 Hebrews 12 :28 I Thessalonians 5 :23
The purity of God is a great blessing in our life. The Lord is willing to sanctify us wholly and preserve us blameless at His coming . We live in a world filled with temptations and enticements . The devil attacks us in various ways to cause us to sin against God. In order to overcome all these attacks we must receive the grace of God that we may live a life that is pleasing to God.
7.PURPOSE
Luke 1 :38 Philippians 3 :12-14 Acts 20: 24
The purpose of God is a great blessing in our life. The Lord has a plan for our life. This plan and purpose of God is our divine destiny. This is the very purpose for our existence in this world. We must discover the plan of God for our life and fulfill it. We should be willing to sacrifice our own desires and ambitions in order to fulfill God’s purpose because God’s plans are always higher than our own.
