Topic :Becoming A Channel Of Blessings.

Memory Verse:2 Chronicles 15:4. But when trouble came, they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel. They searched for him and found him.

Bible Reading : 2 Chronicles 15:1-3 GNB. Key Verse: v2.

The Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded, and he went to meet King Asa. He called out, “Listen to me, King Asa, and all you people of Judah and Benjamin! The Lord is with you as long as you are with him. If you look for him, he will let you find him, but if you turn away, he will abandon you. For a long time Israel lived without the true God, without priests to teach them, and without a law.

When Abijah died as king over the people of Judah, his son Asa ascended the throne as his successor. At the beginning Asa did very well and was acknowledged and blessed by the Lord. He took away strange altars and restored sanity by the teaching of the law of word of God in his generation, causing the people to seek the true God of their fathers. Because he pleased God, he saw no wars for about 10 years as the Lord kept his enemies busy with much trouble to grapple with that they didn’t have time to trouble him. Because he had peace and prospered, he built fenced cities in Judah and raised a formidable army. Even when Zera King of Ethiopia amassed an intimidating army against him, he sought the face of God for help. The Lord caused his enemies to fall like packs of cards before him. The Lord defeated the Ethiopian army when Asa and the army of jud attacked them. They fled, and Asa and his troops pursued them as far as Gerar. So many of the Ethiopians were killed that the army was unable to rally and fight. They were overpowered by the Lord and his army, and the army took large amounts of loot.” 2 Chronicles 14:12-13.

It is on record that after God had blessed king Asa and the people of Judah beyond their prayer points, that he grew cold in the Lord and backslided in his heart. He turned around to trust on physicians, riches, wealth and what they could afford instead the Lord God of their father’s who brought him that far in blessings and strength. One of the reasons Asa didn’t finish strong was because the people of his days used God to meet their needs when they had them, but was not determined in their hearts to love and serve him from the depths of their hearts as God. They knew how to humble themselves and seek his intervention and deliverance when they run into trouble, but didn’t pay attention to know him deeply for themselves as to have his love and fear seated deeply in their hearts. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second most important commandment is this: ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment more important than these two.”” Mark 12:30-31.

Today we have to learn that the reason the Christian life of many are unstable is because they only use God to achieve their goals. There are many believers that work for handouts when God has planned that they be instrumental to bless other men around them. They are are not making any serious efforts to know Jesus personally, they are just satisfied when he solves their problems or meets their immediate needs. After which they abandon him and keep pursuing other things they think more about how to meet their physical needs. Such people remember to seek the Lord for help again when they run into trouble waters of life again. Today the Spirit wants to draw us close to a point where we have personal testimonies of God’s faithfulness that will help our resolve to love and serve him with everything within our reach. Men who live to seek miracles or divine intervention will keep flunctuating and unstable while men who build relationships of trust with the Lord this season will become channels of blessing and divine intervention in their lifetime.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you have saved, so that you can make me. Today, I ask that you shed your love abroad in my heart by your Spirit. As I seek to know you more, reveal yourself to me till I become a channel to bless other men in my generation in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Hebrews 11:1-40.
