  Capacity For The Blessing  1 Chronicles 4:10 "And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested." When a child asks his parents to buy an aeroplane for him, what do you expect the parents to do? Even if the parents were rich, they will not buy the plane as requested, the will rather buy a toy plane. This is because the child does not have the capacity to own or to drive a plane. Capacity says a lot about readiness to hold and manage anything. It is the maximum amount that something or someone can contain just as a container can contain only a certain amount of liquid and not more than it's capacity. It is also the maximum amount that something or someone can produce just as a farm can produce only amount of crop based of it's size and fertility. The child does ...

 Blessings And Favour Genesis 30:27 "And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake." To be favoured is to have the tendency to be accepted or liked by another person. If you are favoured by someone, the person will have a soft heart towards you which will result to the person be willing to help you in ways that he or she will not normally help others. If you are favoured you could be given opportunities out of the normal without coarsiion. You can be given audience, a job, gifts, preference and preferred more than another (or others). Favour could make you exert very little energy and get a lot more out of the little. To be favoured is part of the blessings of God. While others have to use all kinds of tricks and gimmicks and remote control measures to get what they want, the favoured person finds himself or herself getting things done with much ease. Sometimes, it...

  Living The Blessed Life Enjoying The Blessing Enjoying God's Blessings 1 Timothy 6:17 "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;.." Why do we all want to be blessed? Why is it that we do not want to be cursed? The blessings brings pleasure while the curse brings displeasure. No one wants to live in displeasure or discomfort. Many people move in the direction of more pleasure. We all want to see better results from the things we do. This is the sign that we all want to be blessed and not cursed. Does Good wants us to be blessed? Talking about enjoyment, does God approve of all enjoyments?  "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;.." It is clear from the scripture above (and many others) that God wants us to enjoy li...

  The Blessing And The Curse Deuteronomy 27:8-13 "And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly. And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali." The blessing has an opposite, the curse. You are either blessed or cursed. There is no middle line. To be blessed is more than having money. It is the release that commands the flow of virtue that makes life to flow with ease. To be cursed is more than living ...

  Living The Blessed Life Attitude For The Blessing Matthew 5:1-3,13 "And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.... Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." Who does not want to be blessed? I am sure not you. Hardly will you find any one who does not want to be blessed. We want to be happier than we were. We want to live healthier. We want to have happy families. We want people to love us and do us good. We want to move around freely, to go to the places we want, to get the things we want, to do the things we want, to eat, to drink, to achieve, to be the people we preconceived to be fortunate and happy. We all want to be blessed. It comes at a price....

  The Blessed Life The Trigger For The Blessings Deuteronomy 28:1-2 "And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God." Living the blessed life comes with a price. Once the price is paid, you have a good standing for the blessing. Hardly will you find a man who does not want the blessing. We all want the good life. We all want to be happy. It is likely you find someone who may claim to not want the blessing but on a close examination, the same person will quietly go behind and find solution to his or her problems. The solution to the problem is the blessing. It comes down to making up the mind to go up for the blessing. The blessing does not come without a price. Th...

           30 Days With Jesus Prayers, Answers And Deliverance Day 30:  "So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, 'Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.'" John 11:41-42  Look at Lazarus dead and here we have Jesus praying a prayer of thanks. The wisdom of thanksgiving is that God is appreciated and that moves Him to do bigger things. What did Jesus thank God about? "Father, I thank you that you have heard me." It is appreciation and at the same time expression of faith. Lazarus came back to life. Will you appreciate God and by faith, dead situations will come back to life. We give God thanks.

If you will get to pray, the wisdom of God will come to you. You will get to pray and God will bless you.

           30 Days With Jesus Prayers, Answers And Deliverance Day 28:  "When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened." Luke 3:21  Open heaven comes by prayer. This is the situation where the Holy Spirit of God makes easy for prayer to bring outstanding results and miracles. When open heavens comes, little effort brings great results. Prayer keeps the heavens open when it is backed by obedience. God speaks about issues expressly. It will happen to you. Pray in obedience.

  The Blessed Life The Walk, Stand And Sitting Psalms 1:1  "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." To be blessed is to be empowered to live life above the forces that keeps people down. It is to live in the circle of favour and grace. A blessed man finds it easy to navigate through life when others find it difficult. To have money and other material things is not the only thing that constitute being blessed. A blessed man does not endlessly pursue material things, it is just that he gets them with much ease as though the material things are following after him. A blessed man lives a prioritized life. He lives a purpose driven life. To understand a blessed man, you need to understand what and how the blessing was triggered. You will also need to understand the opposite i.e. the cursed life. What triggers the blessing is very important, how was the blessing triggered. Can t...

Luke 9:28  If your prayer is bringing results, let others learn from you. Carry others and let them learn. Jesus took his disciples with him to pray so that they will learn and grow. You learn from Jesus and as you enjoy the outcome, others will learn from you and be blessed.

Luke 5:16  Jesus had the choice to stay and enjoy the crowd but he deliberately withdrew from the crowd to a lonely place. That was why he could see better than the crowd. The same goes with you. As Jesus will demand from you to withdraw from the crowd, get to be alone with him. The crowd will see a different you emerge. You may be alone but not lonely. You are with Jesus.

           30 Days With Jesus Prayers, Answers And Deliverance Day 25:  "One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God." Luke 6:12  For Jesus to spend the whole night praying, it means that he is preparing for something great. Watch out the events after his all night prayers, you will see how made great choices and memorable events took place. It will not be different with you. How much value have you given to prayer before you made the great move? Value prayer.

           30 Days With Jesus Prayers, Answers And Deliverance Day 24:   "Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man." Luke 21:36  Escape route from so many calamities in life is through prayer. Jesus is saying that calamities may come but if you are found in the place of prayer, you will escape. See the way forward by prayer. Always watch and pray.

           30 Days With Jesus Prayers, Answers And Deliverance Day 23:  "Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up." Luke 18:1  Jesus knew the human frailty when it comes to prayer. Some started well and became weak along the way. He gave his disciples a parable to them that they need not give up. You are closer to something really big and is no time to give up. Keep praying. Pray today.
