CONTROVERSIAL BLESSING
Memorise: When the LORD
turned again the captivity of Zion, we were liked them that dream. Psalm 126:1
The Lord Jesus is the centre of new beginnings;
therefore, every new beginning takes it origin in Christ. When God found fault
with the Old Testament, He introduced the New Testament on the platform of
Christ’s sacrifice. It does not matter your background, education, race, sex or
colour; Christ has provided a level playing field of opportunities for everyone
to be blessed beyond measure. The choice to be blessed in such a way that your
case becomes the talk of the town now rests with you. Some people are resistant
to new things; they like suffering, hardship, poverty, sickness and stagnation.
Their present poor state is so acceptable to them that they don’t see any need
to embrace change. I once had an experience of this sometimes ago when I prayed
for someone and said: “When next you are coming to the annual convention, you
will come in your own car”. I expected him to say Amen, but he did not, so I
asked him: “Did you here what I said?” He replied: “Yes”. “Why then didn’t you
answer?” I asked. Then he explained: “When one gets a car, you will begin to
talk about getting a mechanic, insurance and fuel shortage problems”. He continued
rolling out reasons why he was not expecting a car. That was the lie of the
devil to keep him away from his blessing. The devil did not want him to see the
good side of having a car.
In John 9:1-7, we see a man who was born blind receive
his sight. He had been in that situation for at least forty years before he met
Christ. On meeting the Lord, the blindness of forty years disappeared and his
sight was restored. His story stands as a case of blessings that generates
controversies. A problem of forty years came to an end in just one day. You
should know that your problem has an expiry date. Today is your day for a new
beginning. There are many lessons to draw from the story of this man. New
blessings will usually generate controversies. Controversy brings about debate,
arguments, disappointments, deliberation, wonder or questions. There will be
questions when a man know for poverty suddenly begins to ride in one of the
most expensive cars in the world. People will talk and argue when a woman whom
the doctor said her womb is too small to nurture a child gives birth to four
children at once. Meeting Jesus on a personal basis is an experience you should
seek. The good news is that He is seeking to meet you too. There is a blessing
Christ will give you that will positively affect all other areas of your life.
I decree over your life that every secret work the Lord began in your life
shall be completed publicly in Jesus’ Name. Every deficiency or inadequacy in
your life shall expire in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer point:
Lord, let your blessings for
me this year generate discussions.
