CURSED BLESSING
Memorise: Ephraim is joined
to idols: let him alone. Hosea 4:17
I have had the opportunity of being close to some
extremely wealthy people, and I must confess that not all wealthy people are
happy people. Some are wealthy but sad; some others are wealthy but sick. I
once had a friend who has since passed on. He had several bank accounts in
England, America and Switzerland. When he died, he had $68 million in his
Australian bank account, yet, before he died, he could only drink milk. Of what
use is money that is available but cannot be spent on its owner? What is the
use of being called a millionaire if you cannot enjoy what ordinary people take
for granted? If you cannot enjoy what ordinary people take for granted? If you
see the doctor’s prohibited food list given to some sick, wealthy people, you
will thank God that you are not rich. Are you in such a situation? The Lord
will reach out to you today and heal you of your aliments in Jesus’ Name.
On the other hand, good success can take several
forms. It could be prosperity without adversity. Proverbs 10:22 says,
“The blessing of the LORD, it
maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”
Although God does not attach sorrow to His blessings,
your attitude towards God after the blessing will remain a blessing or whether
it will attract adversity. Your attitude could even make the blessing become a
curse. Take for instance when God was to bless Ephraim and Manasseh; the former
being the younger got the double portion blessing that was meant for his elder
brother (Genesis 48:19). Within some years, Ephraim become ten time more
prosperous than his elder brother (Deuteronomy 33:17). But eventually, when he
ignored God, the Lord reversed his blessing by saying that he would be desolate
(Hose 4:17 & 5:9). May your blessing not become a curse! You must watch
your attitude after the blessing! Many people who were humble before becoming
wealthy, suddenly become cocky, heady, uncontrollable and being to rub
shoulders with God after they are blessed. Some others become very hostile and
vindictive, taking their newly found wealth as an opportunity to get back at
those who offended them in time past. When you veer off God’s purpose for
blessing you, you attract sorrow into your blessing. What is your situation
today?
Prayer Point:
Father, in any way I am
attracting curses into my blessings, please forgive me and help me to right my
wrongs.
