When God blesses, nothing can reverse it!
This post is a follow-up to the one I did last week on 'Blessing- Our heritage in God'. Truly we have a wonderful and most blessed heritage of blessing in God. An inheritance forever settled in heaven, that no man or force can deny us of.
This blessing enriches and flows with joy. It has no trace of sorrow, regret, pain or disappointment in it. When God pronounces, declares and releases His blessing upon His children and people, it cannot be stopped, over-turned, over-ruled, undone or reversed. It sticks on the life of such a man or woman.
Scriptures tells us the blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. (Proverbs 10:22).
A drama was recorded in scripture, a prophet (Balaam) was asked by a king (Balak) to curse a people that God has not cursed, that is, a people that God has blessed. Tried as the prophet did to curse the blessed people, what came out of the prophet's mouth was an uncontrollable pronouncement of blessings on a people he was asked and determined to curse.
Let's pick up the story here: "And he (Balaam) took up his oracle and said: Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east. Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, denounce Israel! How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the LORD has not denounced?"- Numbers 23:7&8
"Then Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have blessed them bountifully! So he answered and said, must I not take heed to speak what the LORD has put in my mouth?"- Numbers 23:11&12
When people gang up, plot, and scheme evil against you, your God will turn it around for your good and blessing. Nothing arraigned against you, contrary to the blessings and good-will of your heavenly Father towards you will stand and prevail. No weapon or curse or evil formed, planned, fashioned, raised up against your heritage of blessings in God shall prosper, in the name of Jesus. Amen
"Then Balak said to him, Please come with me to another place from which you may see them; ...curse them for me from there. Then the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and thus you shall speak. God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent...Behold, I have received a command to bless; He (God) has blessed, and I cannot reverse it."- Numbers 23:13,16,19&20
If you are a child of God today, I see every blessings of God upon your life being permanent and irreversible in the Name of Jesus. For it is written that whatsoever God does shall be forever.
In Christ Jesus, every curse, every misfortune, every condemnation has been taken out of our way. By His cross and the shed blood of the covenant, Christ paid the priceless price via the eternal sacrifice. He thereby delivered everyone called and named by His name from the curse of sin, the curse of death, the curse of evil and the curse of the law. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, He became a curse for us that we may never be under any form of curse forever. Thank You Jesus!
"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."- Galatians 3:13-14
The good news is: God swore a blessing upon Abraham- our father in the faith, and that sworn blessing has become our inheritance through our Lord and Saviour- Jesus Christ. Therefore I see only blessings coming upon your life in the name of Jesus.
"For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you."- Hebrews 6:13-14
Of a truth the Lord has sworn, pronounced, declared and decreed by Himself a blessing upon your life. By the honour and integrity of His Holy Name, He made an oath of blessing upon you. By His sovereign power, authority and majesty He called you blessed. God has put a seal of blessing upon you, nothing can ever reverse, change or challenge it. Let God be true and every contrary opinion, situation, thought and force a lie. Amen
