RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 2020.
TOPIC: *THE ENEMIES OF YOUR BLESSING (2)*
"For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries." 1 Corinthians 16:9.
*MESSAGE*
*2. Indifference.*
It's a wonder how some believers are simply indifferent to the new life-the blessed life-they now possess in Christ. One thing you should know is that God will not force you to lead, or become rich, or to be healed. If you go through the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) you'll see that Jesus repeatedly said "Your faith has made you whole." He never said. "My faith has made you whole."
For example, a believer who can't distinguish between what is hallowed (holy) and what isn't will hinder himself from experiencing the full import of the blessed life. We see a precedent for this in Esau's story. His I-don't-care attitude of his birthright robbed him of tremendous blessing. In Hebrew 12:16-17, the writer of Hebrews, using this story, urged Christians not to be indifferent or careless like Esau.
Like Esau, many Christians also don't show intrigue and interest in the avenues of God's blessings. These are the kind of people who explain away their unfaithfulness to tithing and giving both in God's house and beyond, yet they want God to prosper their endeavors. Tithing appeared in the Holy Scripture centuries before the dispensation of LAW when the Ten Commandments came into the picture. It is principle of the kingdom of God.
*ACTION POINT*
?️ Think of seven blessings to thank God for today.
*SCRIPTURES*
Genesis 25:34; Hebrews 12:16-17.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, thank you for the blessing of salvation;
2. Lord, help me to take the necessary steps for the manifestation of your blessing in my life in the name of Jesus;
3. Lord, let Your blessings continue to multiply in my life in the name of Jesus.
*THE BIBLE OF THE YEAR*
Deut. 13-14.21, Song 3.6-5.1, Luke 10:1-24.
