Your Devotional message for 4th May 2021
Scripture:
The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22, NKJV).
Explanation:
At creation, God created man in His own image, both male and female. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth” (Genesis 1:28, NKJV). God gave Adam five dimensions of blessing inclusive of divine Power to be fruitful, multiply, replenish, subdue and to have dominion. Unfortunately, Adam lost these five folds blessing due to fall into sin by serpent temptation. The blessing upon Adam was replaced with curse, so that Adam and his house began toiling. Curses are negative opposition to the Blessing. The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22, NKJV).
However, following Adamic fall, God had to make plan for salvation by re-establishing His covenant with Abraham. God called Abraham and blessed Him and His generation. Genesis 12:2-3 God said: I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” This blessing manifested upon Abraham.
God is still blessing lives today just as he blessed the Patriarchs – Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and others in the Scripture. God desires in your prosperity. Through Christ Jesus we have received Redemption by the blood of Christ. 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 1:3 NKJV). The new covenant gives every believer who was previously a gentile by faith to access to the Abrahamic blessing. No wonder Paul said that, But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ (Romans 15:29, NKJV).
You can only receive Whatever He has provided by Faith in His Word.
In this month of May, we shall be meditating on the scriptures for our prosperity.
Stay tune as we shall look continue further tomorrow. Remain uncommonly blessed in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatian 3:13-14, NKJV).
