GENESIS 4:12-19
You can go
from problems to prosperity. When people who have the authority to bless you,
bless you; you will have success, progress and prosperity, and breakthroughs,
effortlessly. In Proverbs 10:22, the Bible says: “The blessing of the LORD makes
one rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.” We have seen people who work
very hard, yet continue to wear rags. This is because there is no blessing s on
them. Sell people sell ordinary water to become millionaires; this is because
there is blessing backing their endeavours. Ephraim and Manasseh are good
examples (Genesis 48). Joseph brought them to their father for prayers.
Manasseh was the first-born while Ephraim was the second-born. Joseph put
Manasseh under the right hand of Jacob, and Ephraim under the left hand of
Jacob, according to their tradition. Jacob then did something strange. He could
not see very well but was being guided by the Holy Spirit. He crossed his hands
and placed his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and the left hand on the head
of Manasseh. Joseph complained, but Jacob insisted. He said the two of them
would be blessed, but that the younger would be greater than the elder. What
happened next is recorded in Numbers 2:20-21, 24; “Next to him shall be the tribe of
Manasseh, and the leader of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son
of Pedahzur. And his army was numbered at thirty-two thousand two hundred. All
who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Ephraim, one
hundred and eight thousand one hundred- they shall be the third to break camp.”
At the time that Ephraim and Manasseh were being blessed, they were single.
Within a few years after the blessing, both of them multiplied and one became 32,000
while the other became 108,000. How do we explain this difference? It was
bigger blessing against the smaller blessing. We can imagine what would have happened
if one was blessed and the other was cursed. When God blesses you, every
mountain in your life becomes a valley; every problem becomes a testimony. I
counsel you to do everything you can in order to secure divine blessing.
MEMORIZE:
PROVERBS 10:22 –The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and he adds no sorrow
with it.
