My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Proverbs 10:22, “The Blessing of the Lord brings wealth. And He adds no sorrow or trouble to it.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we find that the blessings of the Lord makes one rich. Jesus in His days, blessed people with more. More wine at the wedding, more fish and loaves for lunch. There are many incidents in the Bible that celebrates the blessing of the Lord.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, to enjoy worldly or material blessing you need to improve your spiritual life. By Reading the word of God regularly, and praying steadfastly you can grow spiritually. Then you will experience a great change in your life. Increase your prayer time. The more we pray we will draw more close to God and this will help us in our day to day life. Ask God to give you the spirit of prayer. When a person edifies himself in his spiritual life, he will be blessed in every way. When you are spiritual even the members of your family will be blessed. God wants you to be fruitful and multiply.
My Dear Brothers and sisters, Some of you may not have the gift of a child. This may be due to the curse of your ancestors. Or it might be because of your own sinful nature. Ask God to forgive your sins and the sins of your ancestors. David says, in his psalms, “Lord in sin my mother conceived me, Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sins.”Ask God to forgive your sins and curse in your life. Keep doing what the Lord tells you to do. Fear Him at all times and obey Him. God never harms anyone. But satan is a destroyer. He comes to destroy, your peace, your joy and happiness. The Bible says, “Satan comes to steal, and to kill and to destroy. But Jesus came that you may have life, and that you may have it more abundantly”. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Read the word of God each night before you go to bed. For the word you read, will protect you, guard you and keep you safe. The word will protect you in the night. And speak to you in the morning when you wake up. The word of God contains God’s will for you. It nourishes you, and strengthens your spiritual lives. Gives you discernment and instructs you in righteousness. It gives power to overcome and it is filled with promises that you can hold on to. May the Lord help you to be spiritual and gain the blessings of God.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for teaching us that, to attain worldly blessings we need to be more spiritual. We need to pray diligently and draw more close to God. Help us to Fear God and obey His commandments. May we resist the devil that destroys our peace and joy. Bless us Lord according to your promise, that we may glorify your name.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
