BLESSED IN ALL THINGS

BLESSED IN ALL THINGS

Genesis 24:1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.

God's dream and plan for us is to be blessed in all things; this is all round blessing. It implies blessed in your finances, ministry, walk with God, marriage, job, business, relationships etc. Embrace this dream of God for you. God made us for His pleasure.
 
Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

This is awesome! God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His saints. He is passionate about your success. It is your prosperity that brings Him pleasure.

Psalm 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

In our opening scripture, we were told that God blessed Abraham in all things; not some things but in all things; everything was working well for Abraham. This is God's vision for you before the foundation of this world. The first man God created was a reflection of the plan of God. Adam lacked nothing; He was created into abundance. Everything he needed was available; he was the epitome of beauty and excellence. We too as God’s beloved ones in Christ, we were born into the ground of no lack when we got born again. This is what it means to be in Christ; whether you believe it or not, we have been immersed into abundance; this is our place of residence. Hence refuse to be poor.

Man was never created to be a specimen for medical experiment. Adam was created in perfect health. Sickness, diseases and death are all products of the fall as a result of man's disobedience to God's commandments. Even after the fall, Adam lived 930 years before he died. The reason is he did not know how to die. Today, man has been reduced to a medical specimen. The truth is God wants you well! Believe it and receive it. God never intended for man to be poor and live on barely getting-along-street, next to grumble alley. The abundant life is God's plan for you.

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

It is not enough for your health to work and finances to fail. It is not enough for your ministry to work while your marriage is limping. God wants every part of your life to function properly and be greatly blessed. As a new creation in Christ Jesus, you are the seed of Abraham hence heir according to the promise. The way Abraham was blessed in all things, that is the way you are to be blessed in all things. I think this scripture says it all:


Deuteronomy 28:1-6 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: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. 3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
