Are You Prepared To Be Blessed?

God's ways are far different from ours. His thoughts are equally different from ours.When He speaks,He speaks according to His might not according to our human abilities. It is funny how we limiit-knowingly or unknowingly- God when He promises to bless us. God longs for us to trust Him.

"Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your NETS for a draught..And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the NET". Luke 5:4-5

Notice that Jesus asked Simon(Peter) to drop more than one net into the water but he dropped just one. Many of us are like that. We have beaten by failure and storms of life that we doubt God's promises of blessings. To be honest with you, it pains Him when His children do not trust Him.

"There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.". Exodus 5:16

We see another example in the lives of the Israelites. After four hundred and thirty years(430) of slavery,God sent them a messaiah to bring them out. Unfortunately what they wanted was not deliiverance but better conditions of service-in slavery.

When God promises us something, it is not our business to start thinking how it will come to pass. Put you faith to action.(Heb 11:6). The same way faith is seen so is unbelief seen. Unbelief reduces your carrying capacity to receive God's blessings.

God wants to give us a business that will employ thousands but our unbelief wants a white collar job. God wants us to have total healing but our unbelief wants the surgery to be successful or the administeredd drugs to be efficient. God wants us to live in financial freedom but we just want to pay off our debts. And so on. In what way are you limiting God with your unbelief? Prepared to be blessed.

Instead of doubting His promises,take to the advice in Isaiah. 54:2-3.

"Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited."

God is not a careless talker and what He has promised,He is able to bring it to pass. When you put your faith to work,He is commited to perform.. Prepare for a change, a positive change. Start preparing to be blessed, big time.
