Blessings out of your wrong doings

When we do right, we usually have no issue believing God for blessings. However, we find it hard to believe God for His blessings when we do something wrong. This is not the God of the bible. Abba Father loves us regardless of our actions. Don't get me wrong here that we should just go about doing wrong things and not behaving the way we should. When we believe right, we will live right.

God's love for us is based on Jesus' finished work at the cross. His work is so completely complete that He had taken all the punishments for our sins. He had exchanged His righteous position for our sinful nature. At the cross, all our sins had been forgiven and the bible says that God shall remember our sins no more. This should give us the confidence to go to the throne of grace in time of need. The more of grace we see in Jesus, the more we will not want to sin.

There are many stories in the bible that tells us how God blesses a person even out of his or her wrong doings. For example, Abraham lied about his wife Sarah been his sister twice and yet God blessed Abraham with plenty of sheep and oxen and servants. Sarah commanded Abraham to sleep with her maid Haggai and a son was born. Years later, Isaac was born to Sarah and Abraham. Jacob lied to his father Isaac to obtain the firstborn blessing though he was the second son. God blessed Jacob with all things and even changed his name to Israel. Job was blessed doubled for all the troubles he went through. He was too proud to recognise his own sins in the first.

As beloved of the most high God, we can expect blessings from God out of our troubles even though they were our own doings. If we had lost money because of greed, God can still load us with his financial blessings. If we are suffering from some forms of illness because we had abused our bodies, God can and will heal us completely of that illness. If we had neglected our loved ones while we were young, God wants to mend that relationship.

God is a good God. We don't have to beg him for blessings for He had displayed His love for us at the cross so that we will lack nothing in our lives while on earth. He wants to bless us so much that we can be a blessing every where we go. Trust in His love for us. Believe in Jesus' finished work. Hallelujah.
