 The foundational scripture for this series of articles on (The Blessing) is:
Prov.10: 22. The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Here’s
where Part.1, of this series ended as we’ve identified the blessing,
and its purpose. Gen.12:1. Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee
out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house,
unto a land that I will show thee:
: 2. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Please
note: (1) That the blessing is not a house; for Father Yahweh told
Abram to leave his father‘s (Terah) house, (2) The blessing is God’s
empowerment “And I will make of thee” and (3) The purpose, “And thou
shalt be a blessing.
Watch this! In studying the scriptures,
nowhere can it be found where Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, etc; had to
talk or preach about their material possessions as today’s religious
leaders do, in order to motivate or so-called to inspire their
congregations. For if it takes the preaching about (cars, houses and
other material possessions) by religious leaders to inspire their
congregations other than the word of God; then the church as we know
it, is in big trouble.
This misconstrued concept / teachings of the
blessing has opened the doors for many scandalous questions within and
outside the church; which ultimately brings the motives of the growing
number of churches and their leaders into question.
As
mentioned in part one of this article; the blessing is not a car, a
house or some other material possessions, but rather it is God’s
empowerment upon one’s life. Therefore it’s nauseating to mature
kingdom minded disciple of Yeshuwa Messiah to hear religious leaders
taking to the air waves preaching and prophet-lying about how they see
“ God, blessing this or that one with a new car, a house or some other
stuff” for a religious minded, itching ear Christian; today’s twisted
teaching of the blessing is right down their alley. As they’ve been
methodically trained from the pulpit by their religious leaders to see
the blessing as something material.
One of the problems with this is
kind of teaching is: There are young men who have a call of God upon
their lives and are subjected to this teaching, who are easily swayed
into prematurely starting their own church in pursuit of the material
stuff that their Bishops, Apostles, Doctors, etc; possesses from this
distorted teaching.
Remember
this word blessing in the Hebrew is: Berakah, ber-aw-kaw'; which means
benediction. And we know that the word benediction means (1) to speak
well of, (2) an expression of approval, (3) good wishes. For at the
end of every traditional church service the Pastor or a delegated
person would give the benediction (blessing) before the congregation is
dismissed.
Think of this! What if the blessing truly was
something material, as a car or a house? At the end of the service,
would the religious leaders be willing to give every attendee of the
service a blessing (a car or a house)?
Gen.27:4. What was
Isaac referring to when he spoke about blessing Esau? Was it the giving
of something material to Esau? No, it wasn’t a chariot or a nice home,
but rather it was his pronouncement of God’s empowering presence upon
Esau’s life.
Here’s the NLT of Gen.27:1-4.
Gen.
27:1. When Isaac was old and almost blind, he called for Esau, his
older son, and said, "My son?" "Yes, Father?" Esau replied.
: 2. "I am an old man now," Isaac said, "and I expect every day to be my last.
: 3. Take your bow and a quiver full of arrows out into the open country, and hunt some wild game for me.
:
4. Prepare it just the way I like it so it's savory and good, and
bring it here for me to eat. Then I will pronounce the blessing that
belongs to you, my firstborn son, before I die."
The word of God will always be true, and everyday the scripture Hosea.4:6. is being reveled to us.
The
sole purpose of these two articles on the blessing is to help bring
some clarity and balance back to the body of the Messiah. Through the
onslaught of the contaminated religious teachings, many well meaning
saints are living beneath their God ordained privileges. Whenever the
church gets the revelation of the purpose for the blessing / God’s
empowering presence; then the greater works that Yeshuwa spoke of in
(John.14:12) will be seen throughout the length and breath of the
Bahamas. I would sincerely pray that you, the reader of this article
would further seek the face of Yahweh concerning his blessings and will
for your life.
In
closing: Again, don’t allow yourselves to be taken any longer by crafty
religious teachings that would cause you to look too and somewhat
worship man.
Remember! 2Tim.2:15 Study to show thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.
