God blessed them:"Prosper!Reproduce!Fill Earth!Take charge! Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air, for every living thing that moves on the face of the Earth"(Genesis 1:28 Message). For six days God created and then He blessed. The blessing wasn't the creation, it was what He said over it! There were three blessings released in Genesis 1:28. First, to be fruitful. The blessing of multiplication is for us to duplicate the life of Yeshua we carry inside of us. Second, to multiply and to cause growth. To become good stewards over what He has given us. Third, to occupy and take charge, to let the glory of Yeshua fill those around us. To reproduce, enlarge and prosper was God's idea for us from the beginning! God wants increase and this is where blessing comes in. Blessing goes past just getting by to lining up with the plans and purposes of God to the point of overflow, fullness surpassed!!! Blessing brings forth situations and opportunities so we can display the goodness of our God. So let's take the fight and pressure out of blessing. There are four ways we can begin to accomplish this. One,leave behind hindering people.(They will catch up,amen). Two,Go where God shows you. Three,Give what you've got back to God. And four,Be at the right place at the right time saying the right thing. Let's all live in the blessing, cooperate with God and have the favor He intended from the beginning in our lives!!!
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
AMEN !!!
