BLESSED ASSURANCE
Memorise: Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him:
for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10
Read: Psalms 23:1-5, (KJV)
1 The Lord is my
shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me
beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 1-3, Psalms 31:9-18
God is calling us to a closer
walk with him. This is the only way to launch us into the realm of His divine
blessings. The blessings and miracles of God are exclusively reserved for His
children. It is only the elect of God that can be assured of His blessings. One
question we must always remember to ask when we read of or hear God make a
promise is: am I the one God is referring to? Do I qualify to be blessed? God’s
blessings are only reserved for those who live holy.
Open Heavens 9 August
2016: - Blessed Assurance
Hebrews
1:9
To be assured of the blessing of
the Lord, you need to be righteous. Every sin in your life reduces your chance
of being a full beneficiary of the goodness of God. This is why you need to
find out (and be sincere in your search) if there is any sin hidden in your
life. Ask yourself: what are those things that can limit the flow of God’s
blessings to my life? God has given us all things, but they will not flow into
the lives of those who are not living according to His pattern. You can
determine how far you want to be blessed in God. It is a function of the
relationship that exists between you and God. This is why you need to ensure
that nothing hinders your relationship with Him, so that there can be an
uninterrupted flow of blessings to your life.
(9 August 2016 open heavens)
The moment we begin to follow
God, there will always be an assurance of His divine protection so that you
don’t become plagued with the suffering and turmoil of life. All that is
necessary for one’s survival is already guaranteed in God. For reason best know
to God, there are certain things that He will not reveal to you. He enjoys
giving pleasant surprises to His children. He always gives those who serve His
more than they bargained for. When I was answering the call to ministry, I
never knew God was going to bless me as much as He has done so far. All I was
after was just to love Him and serve Him with the whole of my heart, because I
was glad He had rescued me from the wicked hands of the Devil. But God decided
to bless me beyond measure. My greatest dream was just to become the youngest
Vice-Chancellor of a University. But today, that dream is child’s play in
comparison with what God is
Key Point
There is a ready-made banquet prepared for those who belong to God.
