The Blessing Of The Lord Makes One Rich

The blessing of the Lord makes one rich and no sorrowful toil will add to it.

The bible says that the Lord will meet all the needs of a Christian according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Jesus does it righteously for He had given us His prosperity and His health at the cross. The bible has many stories where people were blessed by the Lord without them working for it!

Most noticeable is the story of Abraham. Even though he lied twice just to save his own life and thereby putting his wife, Sarah at risk, God still caused riches to come to him. Abraham did not work laboriously for this financial blessings. Isaac didn't have to toil for his financial blessings as well. In fact, he prospered during times of famine. Joseph, within a day, was promoted to the most powerful man in Egypt beside Pharaoh. He was rich overnight while not working for it.

God had promised He will take care of us, His sons, in every area of our need. He will provide for us financially. He is the healer who is still healing today. Jesus is everything that a Christian need. I am not saying we be lazy and don't work hard in our position at work. I am stating that we should work hard at the office because we are children of God and the "work" is a way to exhibit our giftings and talents that God has already put in us.

As child of God, I don't have to sweat to obtain financial blessings. I am already blessed with all spiritual blessings. I only need to receive. Behold Jesus and financial blessing will chase after me. Hallelujah!

What's in God's heart?

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

That is possibly what God is thinking all the time. He wants us to prosper, and to be in robust health as our souls prosper. He wants us to be so filled of Jesus and His finished work at the cross that we will know Jesus will take care of us in every aspect of our lives, that He is vitally involved in our daily activities.

God is not a God who is far far away in Heaven that we have to be really good in order to be right with Him. He wants to be so close to us that He sent His Holy Spirit to dwell in us. He wants us to filled of the Holy Spirit so that our every word and action is guided and directed by the Holy Spirit. He has His word for us in the bible to know more of Jesus, to have a fresh revelation of Jesus daily.

God only has good thoughts toward us. He wants us to come to Him boldly. He wants to commune with us every moment. He loves us so much as to send His only begotten Son to divinely exchange His position with us at the cross.

Be bold to go to Abba Father for even the smallest thing that bothers us, for He cares. Nothing is too small or too big for our God. Put our trust in Him and He will see us through. Hallelujah!

My chains are gone, I've been set free

"My chains are gone, I've been set free. My God, my Saviour, had ransomed me." - Christ Tomlin.

I was so touch my this song, Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone), when I heard it just a few weeks ago. It reminded me of the freedom I have when Jesus had redeemed me some 2000 years ago.

I am no longer under any bondage or law for Jesus had fulfilled the law on my behalf. I'm the redeemed of the Lord. I am to believe in the finished work by Jesus at the cross and to be at rest.

The things of old have passed away. I am a new creation in Christ. I belong to the new covenant where all my sins have been forgiven because of Jesus' finished work. I can boldly go to Abba Father and commune with Him directly.

Praise the Lord that my old self had been crucified with Christ some 2000 years ago. Whom the Lord had set free, he is free indeed. Hallelujah!
