Today’s exhortation – God richly bless you

The bible says, “By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.” (Hebrews‬ ‭11:21‬). I believe there’s power in what we say and power in speaking a blessing over each other. Jacob blessed his children and though he did not live to see it, everything he said came to pass. As we begin a new month, I want to speak a blessing over you based on the word of God which says, “You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.” (Job‬ ‭22:28).

“The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’ (‭Numbers‬ ‭6‬:‭24-26‬). God bless you in health and wealth. God bless the work of your hands and multiply your harvest. God restore everything you have lost and God bless your children with good health. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.” May this month be your best yet in Jesus name. Amen

Today’s exhortation – God bless you!

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” (III John‬ ‭1:2‬). I pray that God prospers you like He did Joseph and caused him to forget all his troubles so that he was fruitful. I believe that we can’t fully enjoy God’s blessings unless we are walking in forgiveness and we see that in Joseph’s life. After he was promoted, he got married and had two sons. He named his oldest Manasseh, which means, “making to forget.” Because God had caused him to forget all his sufferings at the hand of his brothers. The younger son he named Ephraim, which means “fruitfulness.” God had caused him to be fruitful in the land of his affliction.

The emotional healing came before the fruitfulness. Without inner healing, physical prosperity cannot be enjoyed. Had The Lord not done this for him, he would’ve still been in prison to his hurt and pain. We also see that it was God who made him forget his pain. Forgiving and forgetting are not things that can be achieved by human effort alone. It is God who makes it happen. Perhaps the reason why we struggle to forgive is because we’re trying to do it in our own strength. I pray that God makes you forget all your hurt and pain and heals the wounds in your soul so that you can become fruitful and enjoy the goodness of The Lord in Jesus name. Amen
