Blessed Or Cursed? How To Know That You Are Blessed For Sure

I have a backstory...

What does it mean to be blessed?

If you want to know what it means to be blessed, you should read this story. 

What does it mean to be blessed?

This post is about how you know you are blessed. In practical terms, not theory.

So how do you know you are blessed?

It is not because you have:

-the house

-the car

-the job

-the business

-the great health

-the great relationships

-your purpose on track

-etc

You know you are blessed because you have made Jesus the Lord of your life.

You may not be experiencing the blessedness of God but you are blessed already if you have made Jesus, Lord.

God wants you to know that you are blessed whether you have N8.50 in the bank or N970,000 in the bank.

The blessing is having Jesus.

Having the blessing of God on your life will produce:

- an intimate relationship with God

- good health or even better divine health

- great relationships or even better charisma everywhere you go

- money, wealth & shalom

- persuadedness that you are working in God's purpose for your life

- anything good in God.

Being blessed is having God's approval on your life. 

Being blessed is God leading you into the destiny He has for your life and the destination for you.

Being blessed is trusting the word of God for your life. Trusting that the word of God is enough for you.

That you don't have to go to spiritual houses or babalawo or mamalawo's house before you trust that God has blessed you.

Hebrews 9:14-16

14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God! 

15 Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. 

16In the case of a will, it is necessary to establish the death of the one who made it,

Lessons:

The blood of Christ, through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purifies my conscience from the works of death.

I serve the living God with works of life. 

God forbid I serve Him with dead works, as Holy Spirit leads me. 

Jesus Christ is my mediator in the new covenant and because I have been called, I have received the promise of eternal inheritance. 

Now that Jesus has died to redeem me and mine from all the transgressions committed under the first covenant, me and mine; we walk free.

Thank God the will became active after Christ died and resurrected and His blood in the heavens speaks for me and mine. 

Christ ever lives to make intercession for us in the heavens, and the voices of the enemy on the earth are silenced by the blood of Jesus. 

All this I decree and declare in Jesus name, amen.

This is why I decree to the shame of the devil that I am blessed, me and mine and can never be cursed.

Every witchcraft curse proceeding from anywhere on the earth will fly around and when it comes to where I am or where me or mine are, it will meet the blood and passover.

Thank you Jesus my passover lamb for you have paid a price and any voice demanding a price anywhere on the earth or in any realm, your utterances are directed to the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

At the mention of the name of Jesus (Jesus) every knee must bow and every tongues must confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the father.

Jesus is Lord.

Lord over all. 

Yes, and amen.

The prophetic has changed my life.

From the time I got a prophecy from a prophet in 2009 till now, all I have seen are the marvels of God.

Living like the world or...

 Hello friends,

I hope you are doing well.

I hope that your relationship and conversation with the Holy Spirit is so good.

I testify of God's goodness in the land of the living...

 Halleluiah!

I scream Halleluiah 100 times. 

God is a good God and He is goodness.

I have been born again for about 22 years. I turn 23 as a born again child of God in March 2024. 

That is roughly three months time.

Glory, Halleluyah!

What is the level of your faith?

Do you want to know your faith level?

Let me explain faith as easy as ABC.

What does it mean to be blessed?

I will try to make this as simple as possible. 

Is what the dictionary says an accurate definition of what it means to be blessed?

What does it mean to follow Jesus?

There is a war going on in Israel.

I support Israel.

My supporting Israel has nothing to do with intelligence, common sense etc.

That is simple obedience.

I stand where God stands.

God bless Israel

So what does it mean to follow Jesus?

It means to do what God is asking you to do.

There are 'nations' in you

I am getting used to the word that there are nations in me.

Labels and the Dangers of Labelling People - A Christian POV

Labels can be very destructive!

Labels are not of God.

Alone.

Ugly.

Crazy.

Poor.

You win.

The Holy Spirit backs you to win. 

Your enemy is not people, your enemy is the devil...

Yet the devil will try to speak to you through people. 

So be careful to answer with truth, not emotion.

How to cope when a season is changing...

Changes.

So many changes.

I have so many things to write about, I want to write about but I can't write about.

The world says revenge is a dish best-served cold.

You know the stories of many mafia stories. 

How the one who perceives that a wrong has been done to him and then lies in wait for the one who wronged him and waits till they can strike back when the one they hunt does not expect.

It makes for an interesting movie.

Although it is interesting, it is not Christ-like.

It is the opposite of Christ-like.

I have experienced much.

It was the journey.

I could not control it.

I could only choose how I responded.

In everything, all I had was a choice and I chose as wisely as I could.

Wise men know that hindsight always sounds better than foresight. Instead of focusing on how to do other's journey better, we ought to focus on how we can do our own journey better.

I choose Christ-likeness again and again.

So for every trouble man has brought to my doorstep, I believe God for the double.

Let us pray.

Prayer:

Dear Father,

Thank you for your love. Thank you for Jesus. Thank you for the sacrifice on the cross. Thank you for your blood. Thank you for your plan for it is bigger than man's plan.

Today, I believe you for the double. 

Double honor. 

Because you say so.

Your word says:

“Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs.”

I declare that I and my family shall have the following according to this word.

• We shall have double honor.
• We shall rejoice in our portion.
• We shall possess teh double
• Everlasting joy shall be ours.
  

I receive this in Jesus name, amen.

Psalm 91:14-15 tells us:

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.”

Thank you Father, because we know and are confident that we receive one above, because we belong to you, we belong to Jesus.

Thank you Lord for me and my family. Thank you because we have been washed in your blood. Thank you for confidence to receive anything we ask of you because You love us as you love Jesus.

Because of Your great love, we receive the following.

Thank You because we have set our love upon you because we have known your great love.

Thank You that because we have set our love upon You, You deliver us.

Thank you because you set our name on high because we have known Your name.

Thank You Lord Jesus, that when we call on you, You answer us.

Thank You because you are with us in trouble and you deliver us and honor us.

Isaiah 54: 15-17

15 If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me; whoever assails you will fall before you.

16Behold, I have created the craftsman who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its task; and I have created the destroyer to wreak havoc. 

17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

Thank you Lord because my family and I are your beloved.

Thank You for your word is our defense against the enemy, the slanderer, the murderer and the wicked. Thank You because your convenant is against every adversary. 

Thank You Lord because by covenant, you inherit every one of our enemies.

Thank you for your word. According to your word, if anyone attacks us, it is not from You. 

Whoever assails us will fall before us.

verb

• make a concerted or violent attack on.

Therefore according to God's word, I declare:

• I declare You are Lord over all. Lord over every motive, every intention, every action, all of it bows to the counsel of Your will in Jesus name, amen.
• You are Lord over the intents and the purposes of man in Jesus name, amen.
• No weapon that is formed against us shall  prosper.
• I refute every tongue that accuses us in Jesus name, amen.
• This is our heritage as servants of God and our vindication is from the Father.
• The transgressions have been paid by the blood of Jesus. Any man/woman/boy/girl who demand a judgment is in error because sin cannot be punished twice.
• Our sins have been paid for in the body of Jesus and will never be paid again no matter who makes the request.
• The covenant and the blood is against our opposition and speaks loudly against them day and night.
• No matter the accusation, the blood of Jesus has settled it.
• Whoever still has an ought has to go to the master demanding it and when they get there will have to bear the punishment for their own sins as the unprofitable servant.
• I owe no man nothing. My family owes no man anything. All our sins are under the blood. 
• Every enforcer of darkness will have to come face to face with Jesus at the throne of God in Jesus name, amen.

By the words above prayed directly to almighty Father, the God of heaven, and earth, the sovereign One, the Lord over all, I refute every voice.

Let God be true, let every man be a liar. 

We receive the double in Jesus name, amen. 

Selah.

A New Day - A New Life Starts One Day

Hi people,

The next three months will be dedicated to writing about new life and what it takes to experience it.

ZOE, a Greek word for life used multiple times in the Bible, means eternal life or “The God-kind of life.” 

The rich, abundant divine nature of God; His fullness of love, joy, power, and ability.

Hello,

Happy New Year.

Today's topic is not fun.

Before I share on how to do this like a Christian, let me share one tip on how content marketing will affect your business for good.

Facebook has the 'note' feature in pages again

 Happy New Year!

So much energy for the New Year.

I noticed Facebook has the note feature again. This is good for writers and freelancers who want to share their work with their audience.

I am certainly excited. Yay!

So how is the year going? I am on an on-again, off-again fast. I refuse to give up. Getting up to work daily while I am aware of the 'need' to fast is hard.

Easy if I shift my focus. Hard still.

Hard on my flesh. That is why I am doing it. I need to keep my body under. Etc. Yada, yada yada about not being a castaway after preaching to others.

So I wrote a post today about blogging. It can grow your brand awareness and your profits. Don't sleep on this post. 

How to Market Your Christian Book

So I wrote another Christian book.


See the first one here.


New Book


Here are a few ideas for marketing a Christian book:

30 Names of God: How I Wrote the Book about God’s Character

It all started on a warm summer night.

I was lying on my bed wondering what thoughts were in God’s mind about me in the moment.

Okay, scratch that.

It did not begin that day.

 

Hold on, let me introduce myself:

Day 1 - Gratitude Series The Holy Spirit is a counselor.

I needed a counselor...

Music: Kari Jobe & Cody Carnes

I began my Christian life with the idea of reading up on everything in the Bible and doing it with my will power.

On faith and believing in God…what it looks like

What does faith look like?

It is hard

It is easy if you are following the Holy Ghost.

On spiritual gifts - The bible commands you not to be ignorant

On spiritual gifts

Salvation is a free gift.

It is the doorway to eternal life.

Jesus said I am the door.

Growth happens

 Growth happens if you are intentional about it. 

All growth happens intentionally.

It never happens by chance.

More than a man...

"Everyone wants to operate in divinity"

If you are a Christian, you are more than a man; even though you look exactly like a man or woman.

As a man thinks in his heart...

 As a man thinks in his heart…

As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. – Proverbs.

Many times, in daily relationships, people do not talk about the things that matter the most.

Remain Thankful

The right posture of a believer in Christ at all times is thankfulness.

The reason you are thanking God is not so you can get something you want.
