HOW TO TRIGGER THE BLESSING

SCRIPTURE: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,"who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ": Ephesians 1:3



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The level of God’s Blessing in your life is proportional to your level of commitment to God.

It has been established that the Blessing was God’s endowment on man at creation. Although,"this Blessing was lost through disobedience by Adam in the Garden of Eden, Jesus came to restore it to us (Ephesians 1":3).

However, despite the death of Jesus Christ that restored the Blessing, there are triggers to pull in order to unleash the power of the Blessing for maximum impact and benefits. Even though we are potentially blessed in Christ, it is when we pull the triggers that we can experience the real manifestations of the Blessing.

Now, what are the triggers of the Blessing?

1. The fear of the LORD (Gen. 22:16-17,"Psalms 112":1-3)

The fear of the Lord is a trigger of the Blessing of God.

2. The Word of God

The Word of God is the Container of the Blessing of God (Psalms 1:1). The Word of God connects a person to the Blessing of God.

3. The Act of service

When you serve the Lord,"He shall bless your bread and your water (Exodus 23":25). The level of God’s Blessing in your life is proportional to your level of commitment to God.

4. The Act of Giving and Tithing

It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). This means, giving releases the Blessing of God on a man’s life. This giving also includes the tithe. No giver is permitted to die as a beggar or pauper.

5. The prophetic and priestly Impartation

The prophet or priest over a person’s life is a custodian,"depot or channel of the blessing (Number 6":23).

6. Parental goodwill

Parental goodwill releases the blessing. When you honour your parents,"it must be well with you (Ephesians 6":1-4).

Beloved, my counsel is, access God’s Blessings for your life by pulling the triggers and channels mentioned above.

Remember this: The level of God’s Blessing in your life is proportional to your level of commitment to God.

THE BONDAGE -BREAKING POWWR OF GOD

SCRIPTURE: And it shall come to pass in that day,"that his burdenburden  shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. Isaiah 10":27

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Fasting combined with prayer is key to terminating captivity.

Yesterday, we saw that no matter the negative situation you might be passing through, God is interested in bringing it to an end. God is ready to set us free from every bondage and captivity of life. We also saw three keys to terminating bondage; we saw that the decision to be born again, engaging the power of God’s Word and praise are keys to terminating captivities.

In order to make further explorations into the keys to terminating captivities,"we shall look at three more keys":

1. The power of sacrifice

Sacrifice is a captivity terminator and bondage breaker (Psalms 126:1-6,"Genesis 8":20-21). The sacrifice on the altar takes away curses from the land. Sacrifice also turns around the battles of life.

2. The power of fasting

Fasting undoes heavy burdens,"loosens the bands of wickedness and lets the oppressed go free (Isaiah 58":6). Fasting combined with prayer is key to terminating captivity (Matthew 17:21).

3. The power of the prophetic covering

Your prison tenure can expire by your prophetic cover (Hosea 12:13). The children of Israel were preserved by the prophetic cover over their lives and were also brought out of captivity by the same cover.

4. The power of the anointing

The anointing breaks bondages and destroys yokes (Acts 10:38,"Isaiah 10":27). Anointing in this context is not just the oil but the Presence of God that flows through the oil. The Anointing is the Spirit and Presence of God on a man’s life.

Beloved, my counsel is, maximize the power of sacrifice, fasting, prophetic cover and the anointing to terminate every form of captivity in your life.

Remember this: Fasting combined with prayer is key to terminating captivity.



ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Make up your mind to engage the power of sacrifice and fasting to terminate your captivity.

2. Never neglect prophetic cover; maintain the Presence of God in your life.



PRAYER: O Lord, I ask for the grace to combine the power of sacrifice, fasting, prophetic covering and the anointing to break every form of captivity in my life, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

KEYS TO TERMINATING CAPTIVITY



SCRIPTURE: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

John 8:36

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No matter the negative situation you might be passing through, God is interested in bringing it to an end.

Previously, we saw that there is no night situation of life that has no end. This means, no matter the negative situation you might be passing through, God is interested in bringing it to an end. God is interested in setting His people free. That is why He sent His Son, Jesus to die in order to put an end to every form of captivity in our lives.

Now, what are the keys to terminating captivity?

1. Being Born Again

Captivities are broken when we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ. The life in Christ is redeemed from every curse and bondage (Galatians 3:13). When we come to Jesus Christ,"every ancestral power over our lives is broken; this is because the Blood of Jesus is stronger than the blood of your ancestors (1 Peter 1":18-19,"Colossians 1":12-13).

2. The Sent Word

The sent Word is key to breaking captivity and bondage (Psalms 107:20). Sometime ago,"there was a brother who always had nightmares and could not sleep. While studying the Scripture, he came across a passage where the Bible says that God gives His beloved sleep (Psalms 127":2b). Instantly, the demons of nightmare disappeared. The Sent Word is a terminator of captivity.

3. The power of praise

Praise breaks the gates of brass and cuts the bars of iron in sunder (Ps 107:15-17). The power of praise set Paul and Silas free from the bondage of captivity. As they praised God,"the doors were opened and the bands on their hands were loosed (Acts 16":25).

When a man praises God,"He deals with every bondage and chains around his life.

Beloved, make up your mind to engage the power of new birth, God’s Word and Praise in order to deal with every form of captivity in your life.

Remember this": No matter the negative situation you might be passing through, God is interested in bringing it to an end.



ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Make up your mind to dedicate your life to Christ

2. Engage the power of God’s Word and intensive, explosive and explorative praise to break bondages.



PRAYER: O Lord, I dedicate my life to You. Give me the grace to engage the power of the Word and praise to break every form of bondage in my life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
