Manifestation of blessings
I woke up yesterday morning praying for the church members that God would manifest His blessings in their lives. Then at church last night Pastor Carl Smith of New Birth Church mentioned how someone that was not a member of our church was mailing in his tithe regularly. This man attended New Birth once, he is not a believer of the Lord Jesus Christ but he grasped the concept of sowing and reaping and believes in that. This man is now living blessed because of his giving to the work of the Lord. The testimony was amazing however this caused me to grieve because how many are sitting in the pews, believers, members and yet not receiving the blessings of God? You have to ask WHY? Why are some still looking for jobs? Why are some still not whole in their minds, bodies and finances as God has proclaimed? If we’re going up in a going down world and God has promised prosperity what is stopping the believers from receiving? Why did this man get it? Could it be that he holds no doubt? Or perhaps he has no ought towards anyone and he walks in love towards all? Could it be that he EXPECTS to receive? What other stipulations in the bible could be keeping the believers from receiving? Creflo was on TV last night and said, “you have to believe something in your heart and have ‘heart-faith’” meaning not just saying yes amen the Lord wants me to be blessed but believe it in your heart. I would call it a knowing. You know that you know God wants to bless you and then wait on it. Live right, live with expectancy.
