BOUNDARY LINES IN PLEASANT PLACES

BOUNDARY LINES IN PLEASANT PLACE:

Beloved brethren, I am feeling incredibly grateful this morning for the beautiful truth in Psalm 16:6.

The KJV translation says:

"The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage."

NIV translation make it even clearer:

"The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance."

What a powerful reminder that anywhere God leads us, there are delightful blessings waiting to be discovered.

It might not always look "pleasant", on the surface, but if we open our spiritual eyes, we will see the pleasant provisions God has already laid out for us there.

Let us trust that our "boundary lines" have been divinely appointed for our good.

You are not where you are by mistake. There are pleasant blessings there.

Every step, every season, every place, every office, every business, you find yourself in, is part of your delightful inheritance from God.

May you see all of your delightful inheritances today. 

Your boundaries have fallen in pleasant places.

Believe it. Claim it. Enjoy it.

BLOOMING IN EGYPT

BLOOMING IN EGYPT:

Enjoying God's Blessings in a Foreign Land.

Beloved brethren, sometimes, life takes us to places we never expected. 

We may find ourselves in unfamiliar territory, surrounded by difficult people and difficult challenges. 

It can feel like being in a "foreign land," far from the comfort of home, even while at home.

But even in these seemingly difficult places or difficult circumstances, God can still bless and flourish you.

Think of the children of Israel in Egypt. They were in a land that was not their own, facing hardship and oppression. 

Yet, God blessed them.

Exodus 1:7 KJV, the Bible says:

"And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them."

This powerful verse is a reminder that the ability of God to bless and increase us is not limited by our location or our circumstances. 

Even in a foreign land, He can bless us to be fruitful, multiply, and become exceedingly mighty.

This is not just a historical story; it is a timeless truth. 

The blessings of God are not limited by borders and circumstances.

Whether you are navigating a new job, a different country, or a challenging season of your life, remember:

1. God's blessings are not bound by geography: 

He can make you prosper wherever you are.

2. His power is greater than any obstacle: 

He can turn your situation around  anywhere, anyhow and anytime. 

God can bless you even in the most unexpected places.

You Shall Not Labour in Vain

You Shall Not Labour in Vain. 

Beloved brethren, today, I want us to open our hearts to the profound promise and hope that is found in Isaiah 65:23 NLT.

"They will not work in vain, and their children will not be doomed to misfortune. For they are people blessed by the Lord, and their children, too, will be blessed." 

As we journey through life, we often encounter moments of doubt and uncertainty. We question whether our efforts and struggles will yield any meaningful fruit.

In this divine promise, God assures us that our work, our endeavors, our diligence have a lasting value. 

His everlasting blessing is upon our labour and it is for generations and generations to come.

For parents and guardians among us, this verse is a comforting reassurance that our children are not destined for misfortune. No, no, no, they are heirs to the everlasting blessings from God. 

The future of our children is built not on fear of misfortune: but on hope, faith and divine blessings.

Remember that being "Blessed by the Lord" is not merely about material prosperity or lack of hardships. It is about a life filled with purpose, love and peace. A life of "All Round Wellness". 

Let us trust God that the seeds we plant today, through hard work, prayer, and devotion, will bear fruit for generations to come. 

Let us walk forward with confidence, knowing that we are a blessed people and that this blessing extends to our children, covering them with grace and divine protection.

Let this promise echo in our hearts, and guide our actions, so that everything we do, we do it with the joy of being part of God’s blessed people.

Our labour is not in vain.

Our labour will never be in vain. 

We are "The Blessed of God", and our children are blessed.

Bless Your Children Early Before Eyes Dim

Bless Your Children Early, When Your Eyes Are Not Dim.

Today, we want to draw wisdom from the tale of Isaac, blessing Jacob instead of Esau.

Genesis 27:1-4 NLT

1. One day when Isaac was old and turning blind, he called for Esau, his older son, and said, “My son.”“Yes, Father?” Esau replied.

2. “I am an old man now,” Isaac said, “and I don’t know when I may die.

3. Take your bow and a quiver full of arrows, and go out into the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

4. Prepare my favourite dish, and bring it here for me to eat. Then I will pronounce the blessing that belongs to you, my firstborn son, before I die.”

Isaac, in his old age and fading eyesight, desired to bestow blessings upon his firstborn son Esau. 

But in his weak state, he was unable to discern the true nature of his sons. 

Esau, the elder son, was impulsive, while Jacob, the younger son, was cunning and manipulative. 

Jacob, with the help of his mother Rebekah, deceived the old man and stole the blessing meant for Esau.

The blessing that should have gone to the firstborn son Esau was usurped by the younger Jacob, leading to an enmity with lasting consequences.

This tragic episode highlights the importance of blessing our children while our faculties are still sharp. When our eyes are not dimmed. 

It is during the prime season of our lives, when we can easily and clearly discern the true character and potential of our children, that we must pour out our blessings upon them.

The blessings we impart upon our children are not mere words. They carry the weight of divine authority and the power to shape the destiny of our children. 

If we wait until our senses are dulled by the passage of years, we risk missing the mark, like Isaac did with Esau and Jacob.

Moreover, the blessings we bestow upon our children are not meant to be manipulated or usurped. 

They are the rightful inheritance of our children, to be freely given with wisdom and prayer. 

When we withhold or delay these blessings, we open the door for the enemy to sow discord and division within our families, as we see in the bitter enmity between Esau and Jacob.

Let us learn from the mistakes of Isaac and resolve to bless our children early, when our eyes are still bright and our judgement is sharp.

Let us bless our children from our hearts, guided by the Holy Spirit, and do it early enough 

In doing so, we will ensure that the mantle of divine favour rests upon them, empowering them to walk in the fullness of their God-given destinies.

May we be vigilant and proactive in blessing our children, that they may be established in the love and purpose of God. 

Let us not wait until our senses are dulled, lest we miss the mark and open the door for the enemy to sow discord and division. 

Instead, let us bless our children early, while we have the clarity to see their true nature and potential. 

In doing so, we will secure their future and honour the Lord with our obedience.

May Esau-Jacob drama never happen in our families in Jesus
