THEN
WHAT IS THE KIND OF GOD’S BLESSINGS?
It is the blessing that
God Himself gives and when He looks from Heaven He smiles and is glad. It is
the type of blessing that will not take away Heaven from you. It is the type of
blessing with no strings of corruption, embezzlement and compromise attached.
It is a job that came not on the fulcrum of bribery; a result you carry that is
not borne out of cheating; a house that you built without having to make use of
cheap labour or substandard materials that would later cause collapse and kill
the innocent tenants.
The kind of God’s
blessing is first and above all spiritual, which is a saved and sanctified
life, living with eternity in mind and Heaven in focus. Mathew 6:33 says, “Seek ye FIRST (not second or later) the Kingdom of God His righteousness, and
other things (money, riches, etc) shall be added onto it”. The order of
priority is Heaven and Righteousness (spiritual component of the blessing)
FIRST, and the other things like money, houses, cars, prosperity, businesses,
etc (physical component of the blessing) will be added. These are additions.
But today, the devil
has reversed the trend; the strange gospel that came from abroad and has become
so established is thriving fast. That gospel that has crucified holiness,
godliness, the fear of God, sanctification, restitution, rapture, Heaven, Hell
from the pulpit is the gospel of prosperity without holiness. This strange
gospel was not what the Apostles handed down. Only very few are preparing the
Church for Christ’s return; prosperity and financial seminars in the Church.
Business schools of ministry are now replacing mid-week prayer meetings and
Bible studies. The old landmark which we have a commitment not to remove is not
being removed. The Church has put aside its original assignment (which is ‘Prepare
To Meet Your God’) and now chasing consignment (the money, fame, power, etc).
This was the error of Gehazi; he left divine assignment and started chasing
consignments. He became a story teller at the end of his life.
People are now
“unknowingly” taught to seek FIRST life’s pleasures and then rest in God. But
this is a fatal error with eternal consequences. Unfortunately, many will get
all the blessings, be fully motivated to succeed, but go to Hell because they
were either not told about or prepared for rapture and Heaven, and were never
warned about Hell.
I believe in physical
prosperity; I believe in building faith; I believe in motivation, but I will be
a disappointment to God who called me and gave me this mandate if I put these
things above and ahead of telling you about rapture and Heaven. This is not
only my mandate but the mandate of every believer and minister of God. God in
His mercies has been sending messages to men of God and also urging the church
to pray for these ministers because many names are not in the book of life,
including those of very top and prominent ministers. And I reason to conclude
that a spiritual giant before God is not the founder or leader of a church or
ministry, but the one who makes rapture when it does happen.
God wants you to be
blessed, to have a good bank account, a wonderful house, beautiful cars, and
all that you will use to support the work of the Kingdom and live a good life,
but of what use will be these blessings if at the end they cause sorrow (in
Hell). Remember that the first thing is to be Born Again and living everyday
and moment for Jesus with sincere consciousness of Heaven, and the other things
(money, etc) will take their places in your life.
I tell you a truth, God
is not happy with many ministers of God, prosperity and faith preachers and
motivators. God is frowning deeply at the unprecedented rate at which the
church and the altars have been taken over by prosperity, prosperity, prosperity,
and no more preparation of God’s people for rapture and Heaven. In some
churches, the pastors see it as a taboo for any guest minister to mention Hell
fire to the congregation. Witness Kenpaul Obieke who has seen Jesus on a number
of times said that on each of those account Jesus has not shown a happy
face…what is the problem? The church He died for is been misled by pastors and
ministers, and Jesus is crying because of many souls that are going to Hell
because of these shepherds.
God is not against our
prosperity, but He is certainly never pleased when we do not make Him first in
our lives. Remember that money will not open the gates of Heaven to you…It is
the life of God in you that will. God expects us to live a balanced life with a
predominant bias for the things of God, the spiritual component of the
blessing. You can make that decision to make your life right with God now
because eternity might just be a tick of clock away, and by that time it
becomes too late. God bless you.
