IRREVERSIABLE DIVINE BLESSINGS
Memorise: The blessing of the LORD, it
maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22
Read: Genesis 22:15-18, Bible in one
year: Jeremiah 1:1-3:5, Acts 13:26-47
The blessings that can be regarded as
irreversible are those which come from God. God Almighty decided to give
irreversible blessings to Abraham. In Genesis 22:16-17, God declared thus:
“…By
myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and
hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: that in blessing I will bless thee,
and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed
as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore;
and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;”
The condition nature of divine blessings
makes some of them irreversible. When you fulfil some spiritual conditions for
divine blessings, God will show Himself mighty, faithful and dependable in your
life. Nobody is able to reverse a divine blessing, except God Himself. He will
only reverse it if the recipient defaults in the terms of His covenant. For
example, God reversed the promise He made to Eli when he and his sons failed to
live to live by the terms of the covenant that made them God’s priest (1st
Samuel 2:30). If God decides to bless you and you mess up, He can change a
blessing to a curse.
The faithfulness of God in keeping His
promise to Abraham is demonstrated in Genesis 26, while the irreversible nature
of this promise is demonstrated in Genesis 35. In these two instances, the
Almighty God reiterated to Isaac and Jacob that the promise He made to Abraham
was an everlasting covenant.
Before a person can enjoy irreversible
blessings, there are certain conditions he or she must fulfil in Jesus Christ.
These include remarkable love towards God, sacrificial giving and commitment to
holiness and worship. All these attributes are found in Jesus Christ, and they
can rub off on anyone who accepts him as Lord and personal Saviour. The Bible
in Colossians 1:19-20 says:
“For
it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell; And, having made
peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto
himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.”
To enjoy irreversible blessings
therefore, you must establish a lasting relationship with the Almighty Father,
from whom all blessings flow, through Jesus Christ.
Action Point
Identify some irreversible blessings you
have access to through Christ in the Bible, and ask God to bring about their
manifestation in your life.
