The blessings of the Lord have been manifold upon us both as
individuals and as a church of God. Now
that the Lord has blessed you in one way or the order, you need to keep that
blessings that He has given to you, it may be in prosperity, health, education
or any other way. What is important is that you need to keep that same blessing
which you have received from the Lord.
Your desire and prayer should be to do not lose that
blessings of God. You should endeavor to
make these blessings to increase more and more rather than decrease. Having
experienced miracles, provision, salvation and deliverance, there is need for continuity. Having sung the song of
praise, we want to keep the deliverance. Having eaten Heaven’s bread, we do not
want to enter into a period of spiritual dryness. Appearing before God regularly
in services guarantees sustained blessings and
spiritual progress – from
salvation to security, healing to health, deliverance to dominion and
sanctification to steadfastness, baptism of the Holy Ghost to the gifts of the
Holy Ghost, miracles to signs and wonders.
There is a fellowship with the Father, with the Son Jesus
Christ and with the true believers who have the same blessing of salvation and
sonship with you. When you came to
Jesus, you came to the fellowship “with the Father, and with His Son Jesus
Christ” through repentance. To get the abundant blessing of God in your life,
you need regular fellowship with the Lord and to continue in fellowship with
other believers of like precious faith. There is need for continuity in the
life of a Christian. You need to abide in the Lord and to spend quality time
with Him in prayer and study of His word. Sins should not be seen in your life
anymore. God wants you to grow in Him. To grow in Him, you MUST devote yourself
totally to the word of God –read, meditate on practice, preach and defend the
word of God.
To keep the blessings, you need:
1. Daily observation of quite time every morning2. Daily special time for deep communion with God,3. Quite meditation on the word of God,4. Regular worship with the people of God,5. A conscious daily walk with the Lord,6. Constant practice of taking every problem to God in prayer,7. Decision and determination to walk by faith. When you come to the presence of the Lord, you will find the fullness of joy, peace, blessing and satisfaction. You can live in such a spiritual realm where God’s blessings flow continuously in your life.
But remember that Christians get
into spiritual famine when they leave the company of the children of God,
abundant prayer and consecration, and mix up with the christless community.
The goodness and blessing of some
people soon vanish “as a morning cloud and as the early dew” because they do
not continue in fellowship with the Lord. When you get mixed up with the world,
your strength will be devoured. You will not be a balanced Christian. When you
get so busy that there is no time to read the Bible and fellowship with the
people of God, you lose the grace of God and the power of God in your life. You
can be so busy spiritually to the point of not being able totake care of your
spiritual life. When little, little ‘foxes’ of lie, hypocrisy, pilfering and
dishonesty come into your life
unchecked, those thing tale you back into the
world. The careless, prayerless life separates him from the source of
the living waters. He lives without joy or freshness; there is spiritual
dryness as the refreshing presence of Christ is withdrawn from him. He becomes
a shallow shell without the divine unction and treasure coming from heaven.
He remembers the days of blessings
and a dream that are gone. In vain, he seeks the presence of the Lord and the
saints do enter into an experience of spiritual wilderness, famine and dryness.
To escape such experience, you MUST forsake the christless and come to the true
fellowship with true Christians.
