Abundance I

Luke 5:7 And they beckoned unto [their] partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. From our theme scripture we understand that Peter signaled to only one boat. Had he signaled to as many boats as he could, wouldn’t they have been filled too? Obviously they would but at that point Peter had little faith. Child of God that should teach you a lesson to enlarge your capacity to receive God’s huge blessing by faith.  What limits may be the formal education we received in school. For instance we learn things like economics which tell us about scarcity of resources and that even influences our thinking or speech. On the contrary if we choose to side with the Word, we shall be overcomes and walk in the abundance that God desires us to. Their boats started to sink because of the extravagant and abundant blessing that they experienced in a short time! This should teach us that God does not...

Generational blessings III

Genesis 39:5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. In Genesis 39 we see a generational blessing at work in Joseph’s life, a beloved son of Jacob. Earlier in his life, Jacob, his father gave him a coat of many colours which signifies favour. When joseph was sold to Egypt by his brothers, because of the favour that was on him, Egypt became the food basket for the entire world. A whole generation was about to die but because of Joseph, it was saved.  Joseph is a picture of Christ. Christ is the beloved Son of our Father, favored and loved by Him but was hated so much and betrayed by his own brethren, the Jews. Jesus was betrayed and handed over by the Jews to the Romans to be killed and for 2000 years Jesus ended up in the hearts of Egyptians(gentiles) like you and me an...

Generational blessings II

Galatians 3:13-14 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. God is a generational God. God called Abraham; therefore, He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. How does that happen? When God blessed Abraham, He told him that generations after him will also be blessed and that happened to his son Isaac and his grandson Jacob. Up to today the biological Jews pride themselves a lot in being sons of Abraham for God blessed them because they are the natural seed of Abraham. The truth is Isaac did not have so many encounters with God per say but the blessing just came to him simply because he was a son of Abraham. If that was true for them, it is also true for us since we are in Christ Jesus. In Christ, we inherit the blessing of Abraham. What then is o...

Generational blessings I

Jeremiah 31:29-30 In those days they shall say no more, the fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge Our theme scripture is one that is always quoted but misused by those that preach on generational curses. The church has been so accustomed to hear about generational curses but so little has been heard about generational blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus. When you hear generational curses all the time, that forms your life because what a man hears forms their belief system and their belief system forms their life. The Bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. The reverse is true. Fear and doubt and curses come by hearing and hearing wrong teaching. The teaching on generational curses is based on this premise that your father and grandfather or someone in your lineage sinned. Unless you are not observant, y...
