The Blessing (1)

Proverbs 10:22, "The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it." (KJV)

People perish because they lack knowledge; the opposite of perish is prosper. And one indication of prosperity is being rich. Then, from being rich you advance into being wealthy.
Being rich is a mentality, being wealthy is the ability to convert what is in your mind into a tangible substance that will sustain generations.
The difference between the rich and the wealthy is that the rich work for it, while it, works for the wealthy. When a rich man dies, all he had dies with him, by when a wealthy man dies, what he had continues to service generations after him.
Another difference is that riches are made, but wealth is created. What is made can destroyed, what is created cannot be destroyed.

The blessing of God MAKES rich; God in Genesis chapter one CREATED man, this man is indestructible, this man will live forever, the only option he has is of where he will spend his forever. Then in Genesis two, God formed/MADE man, this man is destructible, from the dust he came and from the dust he returns, his days are limited, and his time is measured, he is like a flower that blooms and soon withers, he is like dew that soon becomes no more.
In Deuteronomy 8 verses 18, the Bible says, "But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get (CREATE) wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day."

The ability to create wealth is given for one purpose, the establishment of covenants sworn between God and fathers on behalf of their children.
If there is no covenant between, you and God on behalf of your children, then there is no need for creating wealth. But God does not abandon you, you still have the blessing that maketh rich.
What actually is this blessing?
Many people have defined "the blessing", but most of them agree that it means, "divinely engineered to prosper".
This morning the spirit of God dropped into my spirit the fact that, the blessing of God is actually the God given ability to know what to do, when it ought to be done and where it needs to be done.
Many people run helter-skelter looking for BLESSINGS, but the Bible tells us clearly here that it is THE BLESSING.

Now, let me teach you a little bit of grammar, and for those who know, let me remind them. That there are three adjectives: "The", "A" and "An". The difference between "the" and the others is that it indicates a specific thing something that should not be confused for another, something that you should be familiar with.
If for instance I tell you, "An animal came." It means that it could be any animal. But if I tell you, "The animal came." It means that you already know what I am talking about.
Now, the Bible says, "The blessing", it does not say, "a blessing". This tells us that it is speaking about one specific thing, that stands out and which cannot be confused from another.

One of the things that is assured of, where the blessing of God is, is that it maketh rich.
One of the indications of that you are blessed, is in your mentality. What you think of situations and circumstances. Do you say, "it is well with my soul" or do you say, "I am finished". Do you concentrate on the end or do you actually see a new beginning at every end.
Many people fear being sacked from their current job, because they see nothing else beyond where they are. This is an indication of lacking THIS BLESSING we are talking about today. You should not be amongst those who panic when they hear that your company is letting people off, you should be all smiles until those around you wonder what's up with you. Because you KNOW that if there is an end, then there is a beginning for a better thing, because the inferior MUST always pave way for the SUPERIOR.
Children of God MUST NOT and CANNOT be amongst those who say, "I don't know what I will do if I lose this job" ... tufyakwa!! (I don't know if that's how it's written, Nigerians will help me here)

And you should not go before God with a frowned face because you lost a job, or lost a contract, or lost a lover, or lost anything. Children of God DON'T LOSE NOTHING, instead, it is the inferior in their lives that gives way for the superior that is coming.
That contract you lost, it would only have made you not get a better one that is coming. That lover that went, he or she was the least you could get in the market, God just wants you to upgrade your class, at least get a better one if not the best. This is why I don't advocate for RE-DATES!!! Let them remain your friend, forgive them of course, but that should be all, if they left, let them be left. [Well, as Paul used to say, "This is not THE GOSPEL, this is just my opinion", I know people get back together and move on] But I strongly believe that whoever leaves you (and here I mean real leaving, where people go, even get new lovers, and forget you... technically or realistically. Not this other kind of leaving of "I just left but I am still around"), they are actually giving you an opportunity to get a better person than they themselves are. People that cannot stand your heat, are not meant to be fused with you!!
Let's continue from here tomorrow.
Shalom and keep the faith.
