The Store of God’s Blessings

Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1

Christ is your blessings’ address, search no more. God’s blessings are abundant to you because Christ is the greatest store of the heavenly Father.

God can’t wait to bless you as it says in Isaiah 30:18 “Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!” As soon as the prodigal son came back to his senses and to a relationship with his father, he was met with blessings innumerable. He was overwhelmed by his father’s compassion, goodness, and restoration. God really did more than the prodigal thought of and asked for. That prodigal son was expecting some blessings, maybe, but it exceeded his expectations!

This is God’s heart for you. In Christ, you are restored into the garden of the trees of blessings. I see you walking among those blessings trees, inquiring of the Lord about them.

The next time you are reading your bible it is not going to be religious, it is going to be a walk among those trees of blessings. Things will be alive to you, a real substance, a Kingdom at hand to stretch for a pick, eat and be satisfied.

Jesus the River

Rivers are a shadow of Jesus. When God made rivers, he was thinking about how to display the glory of the Son in this form of expression. Before a river was for drinking, swimming, calming, or any activity, it was to unlock a facet in the Son of God.

Why am I talking about rivers today? Am I bankrupt with other topics? Not at all. The Holy Spirit is highlighting it to me to speak to you about today. You will never be the same! You may be saying, oh my God, this is crazy, how can a river change my life today? Can’t you see the mess I am living in? The high-cost bills waiting to be paid? The kids at school going out of my control? Not to tell you about the chaotic surrounding where I live. A river, he said! 

Yes, there is a river that will take care of the entire long list you thought of. It’s not the nearby river, nor the amazon river or any other river. IT IS THE RIVER OF GOD that is running toward you and that you won’t see without a spiritual revelation and a one on one encounter in! I command your eyes to BE OPEN, SEE THE RIVER.

Didn’t Jesus tell the Samaritan prostitute woman at the well that the water he gives can satisfy her forever than the natural water she was drinking from? And yes, she left her JAR after she drank of the TRUE WATER OF LIFE, Jesus Christ. I believe that woman was thirsty to come to that well at noon to withdraw some water and the reason she left her JAR is that the spiritual water of Jesus satisfied her first, she had her thirsting priorities fixed and reordered. Also, Jesus who was hungry and sent his disciples to bring some food didn’t eat anymore after he ministered to that woman.

“But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?” My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.” John 4:32-34      

Did the Lord eat later natural food? Yes, he did. Did that life-changed woman drink later natural water? yes, she surely did. The satisfying spiritual activity delayed these needs for some time later. The spiritual hunger and thirst are far greater than the physical and once met strongly in the spirit; they can postpone the natural ones. How did Moses live without food for forty days? He was in a strong spiritual encounter with the Lord on the mountain. I know of people who forget about eating when they are doing something they are passionate about or needed to be done. It is a possible thing but it excels when the spirit realm is involved!   

Back to the river! Jesus is your good shepherd and he leads you to still waters and refreshes your soul. Jesus is likened to the bread of life, the living water, and different prophetic aspects too. So what is the difference between Jesus the water and Jesus the river? It’s a good question, I am glad you asked.

The river speaks of the movement, the strength, the abundance, and the direction! Many are experiencing the Lord as the water and the bread but few are encountering him as THE RIVER. This is something God wants you to know about and experience! Allow him to introduce himself to you as the river, respond to the invitation to jump in him, let him take you to where he is going, let him supply you abundantly, and let him fill you powerfully. These are days where the Lord will use those who know him as the river and live in the river. Those who are satisfied with little sprinkles will be used in a very limited way. Go for an upgrade because the needs are great and the darkness is covering the whole earth. I call you a person of the RIVER of God. 

“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

I hear the sound of abundance of rain

Nobody really appreciates water after extreme thirst than the one who experienced the cruelty and hotness of a desert. Maybe you have experienced a dry season in your health, business, connections and even your relationship with God. It feels dry, so dry and it is a very unpleasant feeling and experience! It is a fade, pale and lifeless scene. It smells like death and sucks all your energy and passion for living! Why? Because God created you to live in the blessing.

You tried to help yourself to get out of this situation. You used some available tools you know about and even created solutions because you were desperate for change. I am glad for you if it worked. But if you tried everything and still are in your dry season … Let me introduce you to the atmosphere changer and the rain dropper!

You may have tried to manipulate your life’s weather artificially and got few drops of blessings on you. You may have also boasted with the achievements you made with your effort and still are drunk with your success. If you can celebrate what your human power achieved so far, how much more would you get ecstatic, thrilled enough if God himself changed your atmospheres, and commanded the clouds of blessings to locate you and spill it all on you?

What man hardly achieves will end and is definitely temporary but if Jesus brought the changes to you, they will last because it comes out of an eternal God who lives forever and wants you remaining in fruitfulness. I believe with all my being if you exchange your power and trials with his, giving him space, and welcoming him into your situation you will be amazed!

Glory to God
