WHY SEEK THE BLESSINGS AND NOT THE BLESSER?

Many of us (Actually All of us; Human Beings) wants to be Blessed by The LORD. That we may have Joy, Peace and Breakthrough in our endevours. But have we ever taken (or do we ever take) a Pause and Meditate over (Think about) what He (The LORD Himself) wants from us.

Are we just Seeking The Blessings, and not Seeking The Blesser?

Many Preachers ONLY tell us about being Blessed by God. But many of these Preachers Do Not tell us about the Ways and the Requirements of Him whom we seek to Bless us. They Do not Lead us (and Point us) to The Narrow gate and the Narrow Road of The LORD; The Road that Leads to His Kingdom in Heaven. Isn’t that False (and Fake) Teaching by False Prophets, False Pastors?

When we just seek God to Bless us, and to make us “Happy” while we ourselves Do Not want to Hear His “Side of The Story”, isn’t that Selfishness?

For many ONLY want God to Bless them and Nothing else to do with Him. They Only “Bargain” for Blessings, and Do not want anything else to Do with The LORD. Isn’t that Robbery and attempted Robbery (in Broad day light)?

Many once Blessed by The LORD, forget about The LORD and His Ways and Requirements. Isn’t that Blackmail?

Many ONLY want to yield their Flesh to The LORD, but Do not want to yield (Open) their hearts to The LORD. Isn’t that not Pride?

For when we yield (Open/Submit and Surrender) our hearts and indeed our Life to The LORD, The LORD will create in us a New, a Clean and a Contrite heart----a heart of Flesh, for He will take away (Remove) the heart of stone from us. That we may now have a Repentant heart and a heart that Worships Him in Spirit & in Truth and Serves Him in Purity, Faithfulness and Humility.

Many wants to go to Heaven, without following the Route to Heaven. How will they make it to Heaven without following the Route to Heaven? How does one reach a Place without following The Route to that Place? Won’t they be (get) Lost?

Actually, Many (if not All) wants to go to Heaven (to Rest in Eternal Peace-R.I.P), when they eventually leave the earth. But How will they make it to Heaven without The LORD Jesus Christ The Messiah-The Saviour (The Route, The Way, The Door to Heaven)?

Therefore, Let us always Seek The LORD in Totality. Seek His Ways and Requirements, even as we Seek Him and wait upon Him to Bless us, to give us Peace, to give us Joy, to give us Breakthrough, and Yes indeed to Take us to His Kingdom in Heaven.

Moses was Wise before The LORD, for He sought The LORD to Teach him about and to Anchor Him on His Ways and Requirements, that by following the Ways and the Requirements of The LORD, he may find and continue to find Favour in the Sight of God. Moses, the man of God did so, he humbled himself before The LORD for this. Yes, we all need to humble ourselves before The LORD, for this.

The Ways and The Requirements of The LORD are: Repentance, Righteousness, Holiness, Wisdom, and Understanding.

Repentance for the Forgiveness of our sins through the Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ The Messiah. That we may partake of His Salvation, and that we may be Born-Again.

Righteousness; by following and pursuing what is Right before The LORD.

Holiness; by setting ourselves apart (Separating ourselves) for The Glory and Honour of The LORD. That we may Shine for and before The LORD. That if it (whatever) is not Glorifying and Honouring The LORD, we do not partake of it (whatever it is).

Wisdom; The Fear of The LORD is Wisdom. The Godly Fear and Reverence for and before The LORD. Those who are Wise Revere The LORD. They Treat The LORD with Utmost Respect, that He deserves (They Do Not Treat The LORD with Contempt; Contemptuously). They essentially Worship The LORD in Spirit and in Truth.

Understanding; Shunning evil, sin, wickedness and immorality. Those who Understand (have Understanding) run away from (depart/do not partake of) evil, sin, wickedness and immorality.

Yes, The LORD will indeed Bless you (us), and May He Bless you Abundantly. But even as He Blesses you and as you seek Him to Bless you, Pursue His Ways and His Requirements; and it will be Well with you, Now and Forevermore.

SHALOM!!! SHALOM!!! SHALOM!!!

Exodus 33: 13-14 ‘“Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”’

Mathew 15: 7-9 ‘“Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

Isaiah 55:1-3 ‘“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—The sure mercies of David.”’

Isaiah 55: 6-7 ‘“Seek The LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to The LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.”’

Isaiah 55: 10-13 ‘“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. “For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; And it shall be to The LORD for a name, For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”’

Mathew 6:25 ‘“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?”’

Mathew 6:32-33 ‘“For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek First The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”’

Psalm 51: 7-12 ‘“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.”’

John 14: 2-6 ‘“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “LORD, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”’

Mathew 7: 13-14 ‘“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”’

PREPARE THE WAY FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IN ABSOLUTE REPENTANCE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, TRUTH AND COMPLETE SURRENDER TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (YESHUA/YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH). TIME IS ABSOLUTELY OVER; THE MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST IS IMMINENTLY COMING TO PICK HIS BRIDE!!!

REPENTANCE PRAYER:

Precious Jesus,

I acknowledge today that you are LORD and Savior of all mankind,

and today I have recognized my shortfall,

I Repent and turn away from all Sin.

Please cover me with your Precious Blood,

and establish your Word in my life,

that I may be found in Righteousness and Holiness

and write my name in your Book of Life

and Baptize me with the Power of The Holy Spirit

in The Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.

AMEN.


Your Brother in Christ Jesus, and a Shepherd of The LORD,
