JESUS IS MY BLESSINGS

 JESUS IS MY BLESSINGS

7) JESUS IS MY BLESSINGS

Deuteronomy 28:2 - And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you…

God loves to bless you. He has even declared that “blessings shall come upon you and overtake you.” This means that you can’t run fast enough to escape them! When you turn one corner, there is a blessing waiting for you. When you turn another corner, you run into another blessing! The Blessing of Jesus will follow you but you follow Jesus.

You may think that you don’t qualify for God’s blessings because of the preceding verse which says that these blessings will come to pass only if you obey 

But Jesus is the one who qualifies us for every single blessing because He has kept all of God’s commandments. (In Heaven no one is able to open the seal but the Lamb who have been slain for us. Jesus received the seven fold blessings) When He died for us on the cross, He not only fulfilled all of God’s commandments, He also redeemed us from the curse of the law (see Galatians 3:13). The curse was exchanged for blessings.

The blessings of Deuteronomy 28, starting with “Blessed shall you be in the city…in the country…the fruit of your body…your basket…when you come in…when you go out…” (Deuteronomy 28:3–13), I believe that Jesus is saying to you, if you like the blessings then take them by faith! The just shall live by faith. Your every blessing is found in the person of Jesus Christ. 

You could say, “But I don’t deserve them.” Yes, you don’t deserve them, but you still receive them because of Jesus gracious grace!

Today, it is no longer a question of how much or how well you have kept God’s commandments. It is a question of how much you can believe God for His blessings. All the promises of God in Christ are “Yes,” and because you are in Christ, you can say “Amen!” to His blessings (see 2 Corinthians 1:20)!  We are not O.T. ministry but New Testament ministry of Melchizedek. This is the much more glorious ministry of Jesus Priesthood.  Psalms 23 is says "surely 100% goodness and mercy shall follows me all the days of my life. Blessings shall follow me also. Amen!

May the Lord bless you with Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honor, Glory and Blessing that Jesus was slain for you and me.

JESUS IS MY HONOR

 

5) JESUS IS MY HONOR   

 A) HOW DO I HONOR JESUS?    

YOU SHALL HONOR AND WORSHIP JESUS YOUR GOD AND HIM ALONE SHALL YOU SERVE!!! YOUR LONGEVITY AND BLESSEDNESS ARE DEPENDENT ON YOUR USEFULNESS TO THE KINGDOM OF YAHUWAH ELOHIM!!!

B) HOW DOES HONOR COME TO ME?   -  “DAVID THE 8^TH SON” 

David was born a number 8--a hidden gem, often overlooked and undervalued by everyone except for God. For David, being a number 8 seemed like a curse until the day God transformed him from the unknown eighth son of Jesse into the much-honoured king of Israel.

When God sends out an invitation to greatness, His directions don't always make sense to us. You may feel like the most invisible, broken number 8 out there, but God sees your hidden value and is growing you for better things. David didn't know it, but his time as a simple shepherd with a dull future did not go unnoticed by God. In David's darkest moments, he was cultivating the kind of gifts, wisdom, and leadership he would need to become a king.

Even when you're an underdog in the eyes of the world, God is working behind the scenes to develop you into a king or queen like David.  (TOPDOG, VICTOR, HONORED)

6) JESUS IS MY GLORY

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

Is God your glory? (Psalm 3:3). The word glory is the translation of a Hebrew word meaning “weight” or “significance.”

The glory of God isn’t just a feeling, an event or an Old Testament experience—it’s a spiritual tsunami of everything contained in the character of God. The word glory is literally translated “heavy weight,” meaning the heaviest, biggest, grandest thing about someone.

It has been called the manifested presence of God, but more than just a presence, it’s power. The kind of power that resurrects, delivers, overcomes and transforms. It is greater and stronger than any other power in existence. And it belongs to us.

Yet, maybe you feel like the glory of God is untouchable, unreachable. Maybe you think of the manifestation of the glory of God as something reserved for special church services or an extraordinary circumstance. All the while, though, you long to see the power of God manifest in your life, your church and your country.

But did you know that the glory of God is available to you 24/7? It’s built-in. That’s how God designed it—it’s how He designed you. Because you were born of God (John 1:13), that glory is inside you right now! All things that the Father has—including His glory—belong to you. This means His glory isn’t too far out of reach. It’s right within your grasp!

There are four ways you can tap into the glory of God by faith.

Start practicing these four ways to tap into God’s glory by looking, praying, preparing and walking, and watch the glory of God be revealed in you! Don’t live without understanding God’s glory and what it means to your life. Start saying by faith right now: “The glory is in me! I receive it! I’m walking in it!” Get more God-inside minded, and start acting like a temple of the Lord of glory today.

1. Look for the Glory

“But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God.” –Acts 7:55, NKJV

2. Pray for the Glory

“For I consider the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” –Romans 8:18,

3. Prepare for the Glory

“…the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” –Romans 5:5, NKJV 

4. Walk in the Glory

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” –2 Corinthians 3:18, NKJV 

And above all JESUS IS GLORY - HE IS THE HEAD AND YOUR ARE THE BODY.  JESUS GLORY FLOWS INTO OUR BODY TO BE ONE IN ALL COMPLETE SPIRITUAL BODY.

 

JESUS IS MY STRENGTH (MIGHT)

 

JESUS RECEIVE ALL THE PRE-EMINENCE IN HEAVEN

Text: Revelation 5:7-14

“Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!

4) JESUS IS MY STRENGTH (MIGHT) –

How to find strength in the Strength of God?

You see, when you think that you are strong and don’t need God, He cannot help you. But when you need Him and look to Him, He will not leave you weak and helpless. He comes and becomes the strength of your life. He becomes the breakthrough that you need.

So when you say, “I can do something about it,” you are still relying on your human strength. But when you say to God, “I cannot, but You can,” you have just tapped into the real source of your strength—Jesus. And as you rest in His strength, you will see His power manifesting in your life!

Here are some passages from the Bible:

• “By the Spirit … the joy of the Lord is your strength … joy is in the Spirit of God
  
•  “Work out your own salvation . . . for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:12–13). We are to work. But the willing and the working is God’s willing and God’s working. How do we experience that?
• “I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me” (1 Corinthians 15:10). Paul did work hard. But his effort was in some way not his. How did he do that?
• “I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me” (Colossians 1:29). We toil. We struggle. We expend effort and energy. But there is a way to do it so that it is God’s energy and God’s doing. How do we do that?
• “Whoever serves, [let him serve] as one who serves by the strength that God supplies” (1 Peter 4:11). We serve. We exert strength. But there is a way that our serving is the effect of God’s gracious power. 
•  
• Elijah Escape from Jezebel - 1 Kings 19:7 - And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” 8 So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God. 
• (Holy Communion gives us strength and healing) – The Bread of Life Jesus said “Take eat this is My Body” that gives us strength and healing.

 

JESUS RECEIVED ALL THE PRE-EMINENCE IN HEAVEN (1)

Text: Revelation 5:7-14

“Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!

The day Adam sinned mankind lost the glory and power of God and Jesus came and brought back. Jesus took back the fullness of the 7 fold blessings.  Jesus was slain to receive back what was lost for the church. Just as He is so am I.  Jesus is my everything now. He is my power, wealth, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessings. Are all the 7 fold blessings belongs to the church? 1 Jn. 4:17

1) JESUS IS MY POWER

Paul tells us in the New Testament:

I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God. —1 Corinthians 2:4–5

But to those called by God to salvation … Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. —1 Corinthians 1:24   

Our focus here is on spiritual power. There are many kinds of power: secular, political, physical, informational, and even personal. However spiritual power, God’s power imparted to us by Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, trumps all other power whether it be earthly power or other supernatural power.

Ephesians 3:20, 21 – Now to Him who is able to do infinitely more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.  Jesus power includes healing and miracles.

Ø  Power to bless; power to heal, power to transform, power to change the situation; power to get wealth; power over the power of the enemies; power to pray and intercede.

Ø  Power of Agreement, Power of Impartation (Samuel, Elijah), Power of Spiritual Covering.

Prayer:  I declare and decree by the Power of God, that MANY DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY and PIPELINES OF PROSPERITY shall be opened unto us in the remaining weeks and month of this year, in the mighty name of Jesus!

2) JESUS IS MY WEALTH (RICHES)

God’s wealth however is one of His power attributes.  It is just as an important attribute as omnipotence. How can God claim to have all power and did not possess all wealth?  God would be handicapped if He was not wealthy.

God wants you to know about His wealth. The word of God continually confirms the wealth of God. The wealth of God is an assurance to every believer that there will never be a need in your life that God does not have the power to handle. Your need is no match for the wealth of God.

But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. Jesus was rich and became poor so that we might be rich in wealth.   

3 John 2 - Beloved I wish you that you might prosper in all things. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”

Psalm 112:3  - Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.

Ecclesiastes 5:19 - Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.

Wealth & riches is God’s plan for His people. If the wealthiest God is thrice holy, then it is possible to be rich and be holy at the same time. It is not money that is the root of all evil, but the love of money – 1 Timothy 6:10.

For God delights in the prosperity of His servants. “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.” (Psalm 35:27)

“And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.” (Ex 23:25)

3) JESUS IS MY WISDOM

30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” – 1 Cor. 1:30-31

James 1:5  - tells us that if you ask for wisdom, God will give it generously without finding fault: “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” (riches)

Prov. 9:10 - The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom & riches.

God wants all believers to possess the Spirit of wisdom. It is one thing to have the Holy Spirit inside you, but it is another thing to have the Holy Spirit flow as the Spirit of wisdom within you.

Then God’s wisdom prevails, there is no problem that cannot be solved. There is no daunting task that cannot be accomplished. God’s wisdom surmounts them all. The Bible even says, tongue in cheek, that the foolishness of God is wiser than the greatest wisdom of man! (1 Corinthians 1:25)

A person can be very well-educated and full of knowledge, but still lack wisdom. Therefore, get wisdom. Make it a priority. When you exalt wisdom, which the Bible describes as a woman, and embrace her, she will promote you and bring you honor. (Proverbs 4:7–8)
