God has prepared all blessings His children would need. So, if you are not ready to compromise your faith, He can go to any extent to bless you. Every believer belongs to God by creation and by redemption. We also belong to God because He watches over our lives and preserves us all.
I do not think God would bless you when He knows that you will not use your blessings to glorify Him. Positions, wealth and the good things of life are the inheritance of all believers. Sadly, most believers are not ready or prepared to use their blessings well.
God may decide to shut the doors of financial blessings if He knows that such blessing would make His children lose their souls. That is the reason why many believers suffer today. God is searching for true and sincere believers who will serve Him and use His blessings to bless others and win lost souls back to Him.
“But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him” (Psalms 4:3).
“My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feuded among the lilies” (Songs of Solomon 2:16).
“7Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. 21This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise” (Isaiah 43:7, 21).
FOUR REASONS WHY GOD BLESSES HIS CHILDREN
To be a Blessing
The Lord also blesses you to be a blessing – Genesis 12:2. God charged the rich in 1 Timothy 6:18 that they should
You lend to God when you give to the poor and God pays back what you give – Proverbs 19:17. And when God is paying back you can be assured that the premium He would pay will be according to His size, which will be beyond your imagination. Therefore, if it is in your heart to be a blessing then you are a candidate for God’s blessings.
To meet your Needs
Another solid reason why God blesses is to supply all your needs and that is according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19), and you know that He is abundantly rich in glory. The pipe that carries cold water is first cooled before the receiver, so also before you can be a blessing you have to be blessed first.
God expects you to give from what you have and not from what you don’t have – 2 Corinthians 8:12-13. He doesn’t want you to ease others and then become burdened yourself, NO. He wants to grant you your heart desires too – Psalm 37:4
To differentiate His children from others
In Malachi 3:14-18, God stated that He was going to make a clear demarcation between the righteous and the unrighteous, between those that serve Him and those that do not serve Him. And wealth is one of the instruments He would use. He would spare His own from the economic crunch upon the world. He will publicly recognize and openly declare them as His jewels.
Isaac sowed in the famine and reaped hundred-fold while others were running away from the land because God blessed him – Genesis 26:12. God still does it today; Believers shine in places where others are swallowed up. When God blesses and shines on you, you will possess the gates of your enemies – Genesis 22:17.
For His Glory
It is to God’s glory that you prosper. Poverty does not bring glory to God. This is why God adds financial blessings to His blessings upon an individual. God wants to bless you to the point that others will tremble and glorify Him when they hear and see the kind of prosperity God has given you – Jeremiah 33:9. Jesus said in John 14:13 that “whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son”.
PRAYERS FOR FINANCIAL BLESSINGS
Begin with praise and worship
- Father Lord, deliver me from enemies of my financial breakthrough, in the name of Jesus.
- Blood of Jesus, speak financial miracles into my life, in the name of Jesus.
- Let yoke of financial predicaments in my life break forever, in the name of Jesus.
- Any strange fire that is consuming my financial breakthrough, quench, in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, direct me to a project that would bring financial success, in the name of Jesus.
- Lord Jesus, prepare me for financial miracles, in the name of Jesus.
- I bind and cast out the spirit of waste and evil diversion from my life, in the name of Jesus.
- Father Lord, help me to use the much You have given me already well, in the name of Jesus.
- I receive power to manage wealth and prosper exceedingly, in the name of Jesus.
- Let evil sacrifices and curses that want to destroy my life expire, in the name of Jesus.
HIS BLESSINGS ARE PERFECT
When God blessed Solomon with wisdom He added riches to it. And when the Queen of Sheba came and saw the wisdom and prosperity of Solomon, there was no more spirit in her. She had no choice but to glorify God who made Solomon King and gave him such wisdom and wealth – 1 Kings 10:4-9. Your prosperity brings glory to God.
Obviously, God is out to bless those who are called by His name according to His purpose. Therefore align your heart and motives in line with God’s plan and purpose so that you will be a partaker of the blessings of Abraham.
