Hey guys, welcome to my blog once again. So I've thought of sharing this post for over a week now and I'm glad to be finally doing it
It's amazing how much power and blessings the Bible holds. Sometimes, we pick up this unassuming book without knowing what great secrets it contains and how much power it has to bless and change our lives.
There is a word and promise for every situation you come across. God, the all-knowing, all-powerful, has gone ahead to take care of that situation before you even come across it.
Today, I want to share with you on
Three Proven Ways to Bring Down God's Blessings
1. Pay Your Tithe
This just goes without saying. God commanded us in His word to bring a tenth of all that we earn to His store house and in turn, He will pour out His blessings on us.
Malachi 3"10 explains this better
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.(New International Version)
There's a new argument being propagated about how tithing is a propaganda to defraud innocent Christians of their sweat.
I'm amazed and saddened at people's ignorance. The Bible should be our go-to. It is God's voice to us here on earth and if He commands an action, that makes it the norm.
Like I tell my fellowship cell members,
"It doesn't matter what the money is used for. If a man of God chooses to use the money amiss, that's between Him and God and we shouldn't try to help God fight His battles. What matters is that we follow His instructions to bring a release of His blessings on us.
Paying our tithe brings a two-fold blessing into our life"
- It removes the devoured from our finances and life.
- It also brings a release of financial blessings our way.
2.Give as Much as You Can Afford
Again, God gives a blessing. However, there is a little condition attached to it.
Give, and it will be given back to you in the same measure.
Luke 6:38 explains it:
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."(New International Version).
When we give to the less privileged acquaintances, or even friends, we loan to God and this is a debt He pays back. (Proverbs 19:17).
3.Honour Your Parents
A lot of people are unaware of how important parental blessings are upon our lives. The blessings (or curses) a parent utters upon their children have a profound effect upon their lives.
God instituted the family unit and parents are His representatives here on earth. Honouring our parents is honouring God.
These Bible Passages Explain Further:
Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. (Deuteronomy 5:16).
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” (Ephesians 6:1-3)
When we honour our parents, we activate the blessings of long life and financial prosperity upon our lives.
Bringing down God's blessings, isn't that we want. Never how simple it was; pay tithes, be a giver, and honour your parents/guardians. Thanks for sharing, would try practicing this more.
