What is the inherent power in the blessing? [continued]

6. Empowers you to access realms of divine guidance and his leading through God’s voice (Genesis 26:1-3, 31:3, 12:1)

   Because you are guided, you avoid common human mistakes.

7. Empowers its carrier for wealth (Proverbs 10:22, Genesis 13:2)

   The blessing magnetises wealth and  it gives you the supernatural flavor that attracts favor, and favor is an important ingredient in wealth creation.

   If you don’t know how to meet your helper that’s been designated to take you to the next level, you will leave them disappointed.

   Adapt and adjust yourself to what is required when you go to meet your helpers.

8. Accelerates the life and destiny of the blessed

How do I provoke the blessing?

1. A consecrated lifestyle is key (the fear of God)

   Job 1:1, 29:4, Proverbs 1:7, Job 22:23-25, Psalm 25:12-14, Ecclesiastes 7:12, Deuteronomy 8:12, Psalm 1:1-3, 92:12-15

   Nothing manufactures wealth like wisdom but wisdom is rooted in the fear of the Lord.

   Sin takes you out of the blessing while righteousness puts you in the blessing.

2.Be kingdom minded and dedicated to God’s service

   Deuteronomy 28,Proverbs 23:26, Psalm 51:16-18

   Prioritise love for God and his kingdom from your heart.

   Be addicted to the things of God.

3. Have faith in God and release it

   Hebrews 11:6, Galatians 3:9, Luke 1:45

   Believe what God says concerning the blessing (Hebrews 11:6).

   Act according to what you believe (1 Samuel 2 :3)

   Speak in line with what you believe (2 Corinthians 4:13)

   Obey God (Job 36 11,  1 Samuel 15:22)

4.Honor

Honor for God (Malachi 1:6)

   Honor is the secret of longevity while dishonor is the seed for exit.

   You won’t stay long in a place that honor has brought you into if you have dishonor.

   Honor will give you access.

   When you lose honor an anointed mantle becomes useless.

   When you lose honor you have lost favor.

   Paying our tithes is one of the ways in which we show honor for God. (Malachi 3:10)

Honor for parents

   Hebrews 7:7, Genesis 9:23,  Deuteronomy 5:16

   God has put part of his ability to bless in the mouths of parents.

   When you lose favor with your parents you will lose favor everywhere else.

Honor for God’s servants

   Ezekiel 44:30, Numbers 6:23, Matthew 10:41, 2 Kings 4:1

   Desist from speaking ill of God’s servants, God will not allow you to lay  a finger on them.

   God has put part of his ability to bless in the mouths of his servants.

   Prophets carry rewards.

5.Giving

   This includes regular offerings, giving to the poor and every other kind of giving.

   Give to issues that promote the kingdom.

   There are many opportunities to activate the blessing that might be disguised as needs to be addressed.

6.Sacrifice 

   2 Samuel 21:1-4, 24:24,  Genesis 8:20-22, Psalm 126:4-6

   Sacrifice terminates curses and causes the blessing to rest.

Proverbs  2:4-15, 1:21-27

1.Desire and separation (Proverbs 18:1, Mark 11:22)

2.Prayer (James 1:5, 1Kings 3:3-5, Daniel 2:16-19)

3.Study (Daniel 9:2, Proverbs 27:27-19, Psalm 119:98)

4.Fear of the Lord (Psalm 25:12-14, 111:10, Job 28:28)

5.Meditation (Joshua 1:8, Habakkuk 2:1-2, 1 Timothy 4:15)

    Meditation is reflection, it goes beyond reading or just hearing something 

    Meditation will provoke direction and revelation.

    Meditation helps you see what God is saying and also produces a harvest of ideas.

    God speaks to people who think.

Matthew 6:2, Proverbs 2:1-7,1:20-27

1.Delivers from fear and makes one confident (Psalm 112:7-8, 64:10, 25:12, 27:1-4, Proverbs 1:33)
2.Protection and  preservation (Proverbs 2:8, 4:6)
   Preservation comes from the wisdom of God.
3.It delivers (Proverbs 2:11-16 )
4.Length of days (long life) (Psalm 91;16, Proverbs 3:2, Genesis 6:3, Proverbs 3:2)
   No matter what you’re facing don’t terminate your life by your wrong confession.
   If you don’t have wisdom of thanking God for where you are, you’ll always be discouraged because you keep comparing yourself to others.
   If we were thankful for the things we complain about, things would change very quickly.
   Joshua 1:8
5.Favor (Proverbs 3:4, 4:8, 8:35, 11:16 ,Luke 2:52)
   Increase in wisdom is increase in favor.
6.Health, healing and vitality (Proverbs 3:8)

Psalm 25:1-2,5,8-9
There is a path ordained by God where you will never suffer shame if you walk in it.
Meekness is a prerequisite to be guided in the ways of God.
The meek admit that they cannot make it in life without walking in God’s ways and therefore they seek for God’s guidance.
Our plans are no match for diabolical wisdom, we’ll be beaten clean without the wisdom of God.
Ephesians 1:21-22, Mark 6:2, 1 Timothy 2:3, Acts 26:18, 
Diabolical wisdom produces power and divine wisdom generates power too.
Power is released when we acquire revelations from the word of God.
The wisdom of God demands that you have to declare the word of God, for that is how you chart your way forward (Luke 21:15, Isaiah 51:15)
Say what you want to see around you and not what you see around you.
1 Corinthians 2:5-8, Deuteronomy 34:9, Psalm 25:14, Proverbs 25:2, 1 Corinthians 2:7, Job 29:3-4, Job 1:1-3,9
When God shows you his paths you’re showcased to your world.
Wisdom is to be searched for through the spirit and the word, and sought for in prayer (Proverbs 24:13-14, 2:4)

Divine wisdom has two primary sources:
1)direct impartation by the spirit of wisdom (Deuteronomy 34:9,2 Timothy 1:7)
   The spirit of a sound mind is the spirit of wisdom.
    A sound mind is a wise mind.
   Wisdom is accompanied by knowledge and understanding whenever it is imparted upon a person (1 Kings 3:11)

2)the word of God (2 Timothy 3:15, Psalm 119:97-98, John 10:35)

There are there types of wisdom : earthly (intellectual wisdom we acquire though study and natural wisdom that we are born with) wisdom, devilish wisdom and wisdom from above (wisdom from God, divine/supernatural wisdom)
Wisdom from above causes a person to rise above anything they can face in life.
Genesis 3:3, 6-8
Throughout the ages God and satan have been battling for the minds of humans with regards to which type of wisdom they submit to.
Proverbs 4:7, 11, Ephesians 1:18
Understanding is the opening of eyes.
When you see what is being said you have come to a point of understanding.
Wisdom is the ability to anticipate the outcome of an action.
Wisdom is the correct application of scripture to real life applications.
Wisdom gives safety (Proverbs 3:16-17)
Wisdom is receiving what God says and applying it to your life.
Wisdom from above is unbeatable, don’t depend on your intelligence or understanding.
1Corinthians 2:6-7
The wisdom of God is concealed,  therefore you need the opening of eyes to be able to look into it.
The foundation of the wisdom of God is the fear of God (Job 28:28, Daniel 2:28)
The wisdom of God works wonders.

John 3:27, James 1:17, 1 Chronicles 29:24, Philippians 4:15, Genesis 39:21, Genesis 6:5
You can not allow your mind to be anywhere it wishes to be, you have to actively manage it.
Your mind is the pacesetter for your destination.
Whatever you allow to be the centre of your attention you have allowed to master you.
Genesis 11:6-7
There’s no impossibility until it exists in your mind.
When what you think and what you talk are in agreement, you’re unstoppable.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6, Ephesians 6:12-16, Proverbs 4:23
If you win in life it’s because you have won in your imagination.
God gave us our mind to either magnify or minify our experience.
If you want to change your feelings change what you feed your mind with.
Philippians 4:8
Don’t feed your mind what you don’t want it to reflect on, through what you say, hear, and see.

Genesis 13:14-15, 26-27, 2:7
The spirit world appears unreal to those who are so accustomed to the physical world.
To form (yatha in Greek): squeeze into shape, to mould into a form (especially as a potter).
Imagination: Formulation of mental pictures of something that is neither perceived as real or present to the senses.
Imagination is the creative ability God has placed in given beings.
Your mind doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality.
We as humans have only used a fraction of our imaginative capabilities yet we have invented so much to date.
If you don’t take charge of the imagination your mind will be creating realities that you don’t want.
Your imagination will create an experience for you.
Genesis 13:14, Romans 4:13-17, Joshua 1:3-4, Genesis 17:5
You may not be responsible for where you’re today but you’re responsible for where you’ll be tomorrow, use your imagination.
What happens in the mind will happen in time.
Whatever you can sustain in your imagination you can do.
Genesis 31:1-10, 2 Kings 7:3
You need to feed your imagination with what you want to create, and stay focused on it.
We have massive potential for creativity in this generation but life will not freely give us the atmosphere where that creativity can thrive.
Creativity and thinking require an atmosphere.
Social media is a thief of creative  atmosphere, you have to get away from all those distractions in order to think. 
Use social media for meaningful activities.
You need to create  time to think ( focused, critical thinking not aimless thinking).
Pick a subject in your imagination and stay on it.
You need to create alone moments to allow yourself to think. Your creativity will never thrive if you don’t do so.
The world will do everything to rob you of an atmosphere to be creative.
Many people never move past the realm of knowledge into understanding.
Societal thinking also hinders creativity, many people are always looking to see what everyone around them is doing and hang around that same level.
It is God’s duty to bring to me what I’ve imagined.
Just like we look at photo albums and our imaginations are activated ,if you turn prophecies  into pictures  that will serve as  your photo
album for tomorrow.
An empty mind during prayer is a waste of time, no wonder we have so many prayer warriors without results.
Don’t go to pray if you have not yet located the focus of your prayer.
You cannot think poverty and expect riches.
Don’t let mind limiters such as “I’m too young”, “I’m too old”, “I’m in the wrong country”, and many more to set limits on what you can achieve.

Ephesians 2:9-12, Isaiah 49:8
You don’t pay or pray to be royalty, you’re born into it.
when God helps you, humans have no choice but to help you.
The purpose of the covenant is to establish God’s purpose on the earth and cause you to inherit what God has for you.
God’s part of the covenant is guaranteed, circumstances not withstanding; so all you have to do is keep your end of the covenant.
Take actions of faith that are in line with what God has said in the covenant.
Psalm 126:1-6, Genesis 8:22

What does sacrifice do?
1.God swears blessings at the altar of sacrifice (Genesis 22:6)
   When God swears a blessing all struggles are over.
2.Termination of curses (Genesis 8:20-22)
Your sacrifice is what will activate the blood of Jesus to speak on your behalf to neutralise curses.
3.God gives supernatural wisdom (1Kings 3:5, 4:29-30)
   Solomon accessed wisdom at the altar of sacrifice.
4.It stops plagues (2Kings 24:24)
5.God releases supernatural wealth (1Kings 3:13)
6.God gives honor (Psalm 112:12-13)
7.All needs are met (Philippians 4:15-19, 2 Chronicles 15:11-13, Psalm 111:1-5)
   If you don’t do the same things others are doing don’t expect the same results as them.

Jeremiah 8:1,7, Proverbs 18:1, Matthew 4:4
The devil is a deceiver, to beat him you need revelation.
Only revelation beats deception.
The cure for deception is not just truth but revealed truth (revelation).
1 Kings 3:17, Revelation 4:1-2
If we do not understand seasons and times we’ll miss our times of visitation.
1 Chronicles 12:32
Your visitation may not come at a time that you think is appropriate, it might come at a time when several things are demanding for your attention.
1 Samuel 30:1-8, 31:6
David playing a guitar so that the demon could stop tormenting Saul was one of the hardest tests that he had to face. He had to look at the throne he was supposed to sit on and help the man he was supposed to replace day after day.In all this he behaved himself wisely.
God is not motivated by tears but by faith.
Nobody can be visited by God without a sober mind.
God wants to visit you when it looks like you’re faced with so many disappointments and nothing seems to work out in your favour.
God doesn’t choose to visit us at times that are convenient to us, hence why we must be ready all the time.
Luke 19:42
Sometimes the visitation of God might be hidden in an instruction (Genesis 22:2)
There will never be a time when all you hear is God’s voice exclusively without hearing satan’s voice suggesting things to you.
As long as you’re on earth there will always be a contest of voices.
The devil loves to take people out of position when he senses increased divine activity around people’s lives, so that they can miss what God has for them.
