Pastor Paul Enenche at Dunamis International Gospel Centre on “The Blessing of God and the Destiny of Man” Genesis 1:28
The objective of the service is to seek to understand:
I)The relationship between the blessing of God and the destiny of man.
ii)The way to the blessings of God.
The blessing of God is a very strong force in the building of the destiny of people. For example, the blessing of God laid the foundation for the destiny of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. The blessing of God literally laid the foundation for the destiny of man on the earth. God decided to create man and placed something on man that can allow Him to rest. With what God put in is, there is no fear for the future. Anywhere the blessing is in place, the future is guaranteed. No wonder the Nation of Israel exists today because of the blessing that preceded that Nation. Secondly, the blessing of God for Isaac laid the foundation for his life and destiny. Genesis 25:11. God placed on Isaac what he placed on his father so that his future can be secured. Isaac did not depend on the wealth of his father. In our world today, the children of rich men do not need to do anything so they are unable to sustain the wealth of their fathers. Even though his father had given him things, yet he needed to labour to exceed where his father reached.
HOW DOES THE BLESSING AFFECT THE DESTINY OF MAN.
1) The Blessing preserves the life, destiny and divine purpose in the life of the blessed. Isaiah 65:8. You need to be alive before you can fulfill destiny . Nobody is in the grave asking for a job, career, wife and husband. The blessing of the Lord is what ensures that you are not killed before your time so that the purpose of God for your life can come to pass. The blessing of God ensures that your destiny is not aborted. It is beyond the feel good kind of declaration. It is beyond a good wish. It is what guarantees the prosperity of divine purpose. That is why the difference between the blessed and unblessed is like heaven and earth. The blessing of God is like an insurance policy for your life, purpose and destiny. When the blessing of God is on your life, the devil cannot access you to destroy God’s purpose. The devil that could not kill you before you knew God, that devil came too late now. No level of bad will can abort the purpose of a life of which the blessing of God is domicile.
2)The Blessing compels the earth and environment of the blessed to yield their best.
When the blessing of God is upon your life, the environment where you function is mandated to surrender its best to you. That is why a blessed person can be in a land and an unblessed person can be i the sane land and their result will be different. The atmosphere of a blessed man is under the mandate of cooperation. That is why what you need the most is the blessing not a change if location. It is not a matter of where you are, it is a matter of what is on you. A blessed person is Nigeria is better than an unblessed person abroad. I knew a guy who said the reason why he has not made it is because he is in Nigeria. He struggled and struggled and went abroad. Money is still being sent to him from here. He has become a liability. Green card does not mean green life or green light. Lottery can end up becoming slavery. Laban realized that Jacob was carrying the blessing. Even though he changed the conditions many times, Jacob prospered. Don’t struggle for position, just struggle for the blessing. I speak to someone here, the blessing of God is coming upon you right now.
- The blessing connects the blessed with their God-ordained inheritance and allocation on the earth.
- The blessing empowers the blessed to make progress, surmounts obstacles and overcome resistance.
WHAT ARE THE SECRETS OF THE BLESSING
- Going all the way with God. This means going all the way with obedience. Deuteronomy 28:1-2
- Being a blessing to both the Kingdom and others. Genesis 12:2-3. God blesses blessers. God cannot release to a man who cannot release. The elementary school of the blessing is the tithe. Hebrews 7:8. God blesses blessers, he gives givers.
- Being in Kingdom service. Exodus 23:25. When you work for government, you are paid salary but when you work for God, he pays you blessings. Don’t be an executive Christian. You can be a billionaire and still make an usher or chorister.
- Connecting with the blessed. When you connect with the blessed, what they carry flows on you. Hebrews7:7. Somebody on a higher level of blessing can release blessings on your life. Value your prophets. Honour your father and mother. For years, there is not a month in my life that honor dies not leave me to my prophets so i cannot run dry because when a river flows into an ocean, its fluidity is secured. It works.
