THE BLESSING OF THE LORD !

THE BLESSING OF THE LORD ! "The Blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it." (Proverbs 10:22). The blessing that begin in (Genesis 1-2. God's last work of creation was to bless man. (Genesis 1:1) says, "in the beginning God. . ." You can't get any closer to the beginning that that. The Blessing is the very creative force of God. It created all we see. We lost the power of the word blessing, which means "to empower." It's God's empowerment, His power that established the universe. He put the same creativity power and anointing on Adam and his wife--- mankind--- who were created in His image and likeness, and told them to replenish the earth, be fruitful and multiply and have dominion and subdue it in love. God rested the seventh day after He finished His work Of Creation. His last work was not the creation of man--- it was the Blessing of man. Then, He sat down. After man sinned, however, God had to go back to work, and that's what this or these lessons will be about: God's restoration of The Blessing on mankind, preferably I'm talking about the born-again believer, The re-created human spirit, where it belongs, through His blood covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, passing it down the line, until Jesus was born out of that covenant. Even when sin erupted And the Earth Was Destroyed in the Flood, God continue The Blessing through covenant with Noah: "And God Blessed Noah and his sons" (Genesis 9:1). God started it all again. How did He do it ? The first thing He said was, "Be fruitful and multiply," which is exactly what He said to Adam. Centuries later, when Jesus was crucified and made a curse for us (Galatians 3:13), God made the way for The blessing of Abraham to come, not only on the natural descendents of Abraham, but also on the Gentiles; that's right on the born again re-created Gentile. Because of Jesus redemptive work on the cross, we also can walk in The Blessing. It is now back on the sons of Noah--- Ham, Japheth and Shem. Ham and Japheth followed Adam's lead, in other words they forfeited the Blessing just as Adam and his wife did, which resulted in the creation of the Babylonian system----men trying to meet their own needs without The Blessing of God. In other words people are trying to meet their own needs without God. But, Abraham came out of Shem, and Jesus out of Abraham. Now; through Christ Jesus, we who'll were once known as Gentiles--- which means "outside the covenant of God"----are grafted in (Romans 11:17). He has, once again, provided for us a source ! Let me say this to you who do read and study the word of God: if you think that your job or your PhD or your masters degree is your source then you have missed it. I thought the same thing, so don't get up under the condemnation ! One day as I was toiling: that's working hard I went home, and is soon as I entered the house the Lord spoke to me and asking me; who is your source ? And without thinking I said Lord you are the source of my life and the provider of all that I have need of.
