We all believe in something, but never think that typing Amen, saying yes, or sharing a post will bring us blessings. This is false teachings; our blessing comes from God through our faith, prayers, worship, praise, tithing, and giving. We must do our part to receive a blessing from God, and that part is not just typing Amen or sharing chain letters. The Word also tells us, “that we are blessed, not just so we can be comfortable, but so that we will bless others.” (Genesis 12:2, I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.) Genesis 12:2 is the first law of our blessings, that if we concentrate on blessing others, God will take care of our needs. In the Book of Proverbs chapter 3:1-10, God provides us with five distinct principles that we can follow to prepare ourselves for receiving His blessings. Even if we follow this, it will not guarantee our blessing. So do not be fooled by chain letters and false teachings, it just sounds good. Study the book of Haggai it is a marvelous lesson on how to get and keep the blessing and favor of the Lord. Study the Word of God and you will learn how to receive God’s blessing.
Lord, teach everyone that follow You how to read to show ourselves approved, so we will be followers of the truth and not what sounds good. Father, You said, (James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial. Because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised.”) Lord, help us not look over our blessing by expecting a financial benefit only. Father, give us the wisdom of Your Word so false teaching will not fool us. Lord, sometimes the sins of this world and our choices delay our blessing, so order our steps in Your will to prevent this from happening. Father remove the obstacles that keep us from sitting at Your feet or hindering our blessings. Lord give us Christ-like strength and courage to follow and obey Your word so we will receive favor from You and eternal life. Lord, thank You for the blessing of waking up in our right minds, a roof over our heads, and food to eat in Jesus name Amen
