Here are four practices that can keep us out of our place of blessings.
1. Loyalty to our past pains.
• Rather than dwelling on you past pains turn your past into gain (profit).
2. Lack of forsight.
• Where there is no vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29:18 – Or where no purpose is, the people walk without direction.
• To have forsight is to see the future, now and see what God is revealing and bringing into the present. When driving your cars on the High Way’s do you focus only on the car in front of you or do you look ahead with with anticipation! There is a rule in driving that says, when driving in foggy conditions one should drive only as fast as one can see because you aren’t able to see ahead.
3. Gross/Sin
• Knowing what to do, but doing not doing it
• Jesus told the man he healed, “Afterwards, when Jesus found him, in the temple, He said to him, see you are well! Stop sinning or something worse may happen eo you.” St. John 5:14 (AMP)
Romans 1:21-22 (AMP)
21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Knowing is one thing, doing however is another, but either way, if one knows what to do and doesn’t do it, one could miss all that God prepared for them from the foundations of the world.
• Note: “Uprightness and right standing with God (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) elevate a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 24:34 (AMP)
“For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” (KJV)
4. Disagreement
• “Agreement is the place of power, but disagreement is the place of powerlessness”. Dr L. ED. COLE
• Jesus said “If two of us shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of his father which is in Heaven.” Matthew 18:19
• Amos wrote, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed.” Amos 3:3
• When God looked down at the tower of Babel that was being built by Nimrod and Co. He said, “And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Genesis 11:6
• What we are seeing here is, if we agree, we can accomplish all that we imagined even if it is wrong. Agreement is only potential power. Therefore, let us agree to do the right thing for the right reason, reasons that will bring Glory to God.
Stay Blessed.
