Topic: Wear Your Blessing Well.
Today’s Scripture: “Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him.” Genesis chapter 26 verse 12, (NIV). New International Version.
Message: One time Isaac was in a famine. There was a great drought in the land, but Isaac went out and planted crops right in the middle of that famine. It didn’t make any sense, but somehow in that same year of drought, the Scripture says, “Isaac received 100 times what he had sown because the Lord blessed him.” What’s interesting is that when Isaac got blessed, the people around him, the Philistines and his friends all of the sudden got jealous of him. They were fine as long as he was broke. As long as they were at the same level, it was no big deal. But when he stepped up to a new higher level, when he began to wear his blessings well, the Scripture says, “The Philistines hated Isaac.” Maybe you’ve noticed this in your own life. When you start to do better, the people around you don’t celebrate. They become jealous. But you can’t allow the attitudes of others to hold you back and cause you to live in mediocrity. Instead, when you’re blessed, brag on God! Shake off the criticism of others and receive His blessing. Wear it well because when you honour Him, He will continue to increase and promote you all the days of your life!
Prayer for Today: Father, thank You for every good and perfect gift that You have poured out on my life. In humility, I choose to wear my blessings well. I won’t shrink back at the criticism of others; but instead, I will walk forward with You into the life of blessing You have prepared for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Prophetic Declaration: Boasting in the Lord involves praising his name and sharing his wonderful works with other people around you. Determination and wisdom to worship the Lord and sing His praise all the time shall be yours. In doing this, you’re wearing your blessing very well, and making jealous people around you not relevant. Ability to continue bragging on God, shaking off the criticism of others, then receive more blessing from God shall be yours in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
