The Righteous is Blessed

 

Bible Nugget 0407 [Psalm 1 v 1 Amplified]

 

1BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.

 

Rejoice because the promise of God is to bless you as you walk with him in righteousness and true holiness. You shall be the envy of all who do not know or wish to serve our loving heavenly Father. Wait on the Lord and see what he will do in your life. He will send blessing of salvation, healing, deliverance, spiritual and material prosperity abundantly upon you.  He will not delay. He is always on time. When the wicked are saying there is casting down, continue to say there is lifting up. Be blessed today in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

 

Prayer Nugget 0407

1.      Oh LORD, remember your covenant of blessing on anyone who calls on you with a true heart of righteousness and holiness. Rain down your blessing upon my life in Jesus Name.

2.       LORD, fill the field of my life with the dew of heaven. Let your river of blessing flow into every department of my life in Jesus Name. Amen.

He is Faithful

 

Bible Nugget 0406 [1 Thessalonians 5 v 24 KJV]

 

24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

 

God’s gift and calling upon you is without repentance that is God will not go back on his word. He watches over his word jealously to fulfill it. Not one jot or title of the word will go unfulfilled, Jesus said. The promises of God are yea and amen and no devil from the pit of hell can stop the blessings of God upon your life. Claim the promise of this verse over all your situations, and watch it fulfilled before your very eyes in Jesus name. Amen.

 

 

Prayer Nugget 0406

1.       Oh LORD thank you for your calling upon my life. Let your will be done in every department of my life in Jesus Name.

2.       LORD, I entrust my life into your care. Be my Fortress, my hope and helper, my shield and high tower, my strength and power in Jesus Name.

3.       Oh LORD, perform every enterprise you have destined for my life. Let the lines you have drawn for me fall into perfect places in Jesus name. Amen.

More Than a Conqueror

 

Bible Nugget 0405 [Romans 8 v 35 – 39 KJV]

35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

 36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

The love of God in Christ Jesus makes you and me heirs of God in Christ Jesus. God is victorious in every thing he does and that is part of our inheritance in Christ Jesus. Personalize v37 and say in the paraphrased language:

 

“in all these things I more than a conqueror through Christ that loved me”.

 

Phil 4:13

 

13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

 

 

 

Prayer Nugget 0405

1.       Oh LORD I thank you because are my shield, my buckler, my sure defense, the captain and Bishop of my soul. Oh Lord watch over my life jealously in the mighty name of Jesus.

2.     Thank you for making me an over comer in all things through Christ Jesus. Amen.

Covenant keeping God

Bible Nugget 0403[Isaiah 59: 21 (KJV)]

21As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

God is a covenant keeping God. He made a covenant with Abraham and has kept it ever since for some 4000 years. He will keep his covenant with you if you include yourself in the word “them” in the above verse. The blessings of God will not depart from you and your household in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

Prayer Nugget 0403

Oh Lord, keeper of covenant, thank you for giving me your Holy Spirit. Thank you for your word that you watch jealously to fulfill it. Lord, fill my heart with your word and let my mouth be an outlet for your word. Lord, keep your covenant over my life and my children and children’s children according to your promises in Jesus Name. Amen.

Guaranteed Unending Returns

Bible Nugget 0308 [Luke 18 V 28 – 30, KJV]

28Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

 29And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,

 30Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

God is a giver; he does not owe any man or woman. He gave his very best, His only begotten Son.  The desire of God is for us to give back to him. First of ourselves and then our substance. Returns in the investment of anything good into the kingdom of God are very rewarding. Investments are guaranteed because God’s storehouses are inexhaustible. Psalm 50: 9-12 reads:

9I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

 10For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

 11I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

 12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

From v12, it is clear that that, the world is an entire estate owned by God. So the challenge thrown to Peter and to every person by Jesus is; if you invest in God’s estate of reconciling the lost world back to God, you get manifold returns. It is a totally risk-free investment, with only one requirement; faith.

Peter’s question in v28 was a result of the discuss Jesus ha with a rich, young ruler. The story is told in Luke 18:18-24 but lets look at the same record in Mark 10: 17

17And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

 18And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

 19Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

 20And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

 21Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

 22And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

 v21 says Jesus loved this man. He saw the great potential the man had. He looked at him and saw in him a Matthew, who wrote the first book in the New Testament. Matthew was also very rich, but had acquired his wealth by illegal tax collection. Matthew left all to follow Jesus. The constraint the young rich ruler had was the inability to part with his possessions. The rich young ruler was unaware that both himself and possessions belong to God (psalm 50 v12).  Today, we have many philanthropic persons and organizations promoting one good course or the other. My prayer is that God will continue to bless them in Jesus Name.

The returns in the life hereafter is even more rewarding: Eternal life. The perks include living forever, having eaten of the tree of life (Rev 22: 1-5); seeing God face to face (which no person can do now because of the nature of sin); a mansion in heaven (John 14:1-3); seating with Christ in the heaven lies and ruling over principalities and powers and over all those who died in their sins (all who will be in hell); and living in absolute bliss. No more sin, no more sorrow. The whole world would then be reconciled to God after the creation of a new heaven and a new earth during the millennial reign of Christ and the Saints. A wolf will lie down side by side with a lamb (Isaiah 65:17-25). Would you not prefer this unquantifiable returns?

 
 
 
 

 

Prayer Nugget 0308

1.        Pray a prayer of consecration. “Lord, I give my self to you. I consecrate my heart, soul body, mind and intellect to you. Let me be a faithful servant who is only interested in his master’s business in Jesus name. You first Jesus. I will not abandon my responsibility to my family in Jesus Name. Lord give me the wisdom to discern, please you and engage in the work of your kingdom at all times in Jesus Name.”

2.        Lord fill my heart with the glories of heaven. I become more and more heavenly minded in Jesus Name.

3.        Lord let my dreams be dreams of your kingdom. Let me have open visions of heaven in Jesus  name.

4.     Lord help me to be fisher of men. Use me as a vessel to lead others to Christ and promote the work of the gospel. Let me be  a channel of blessing to people; the rich and the poor, the saint and the sinner and use me to reconcile the world back to you, Almighty God in Jesus Name. Amen.

A Bountiful Harvest Awaits You

Bible Nugget 0303 [Genesis 26 12-14 KJV]
 12Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

 13And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

 14For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

 

This is one of the most outstanding miracles recorded in scriptures defying the laws of simple addition. It is part of the covenant blessing, a pact made between Abraham and God that Abraham’s descendants will be blessed. In the year when drought and famine ravaged the land, Isaac, Abraham’s son obeyed God, went forward by faith and experienced multiple-fold increase. God’s promises are yea and amen, and what he says he will do. God told Isaac to stay in Gerar and not to take off  to find relief in Egypt.  Gen 26 v3 reads:

 3Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

God had foresight for Isaac. He showed Isaac favor and, blessed him beyond measure. God does not add sorrows to His blessings. His blessings will confound your adversaries that they begin to wonder how you made it when others are losing. Are you at the point of quitting or losing faith?  Put your confidence in the Lord, for he promised that his people will not be put to shame.

 

 

 

Prayer Nugget 0303

Lord, let you divine favour be my portion in all things and at all times. As your word says, Isaac sowed in the land you told him to stay and he was blessed by you with a hundred fold harvest in the same year breaking natural laws.  Grant me a heart of obedience to hearken to your voice. I will not be dull of hearing. I shall be quick to obey your voice. I receive hundred fold returns as I sow and you bless the work of my hands in Jesus name. I wax great, I move forward and grow in your grace and favour beyond human measure in Jesus Name. Send your favour where I had not been favoured in time past, open unto me the secret treasures of your kingdom and make me to begin to follow all your kingdom principles in Jesus Name. All covenanted blessings in Christ are mine in Jesus Name. Amen.
