RHEMA FOR LIVING OFM, DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FROM THE DESK OF GOD'S SERVANT REV. (DR.) LIZZY JOHNSON SULEMAN.
DATE: SUNDAY JULY 11TH, 2021
BIBLE READING: ISA. 60-61
TOPIC: CALLED TO BE A BLESSING (PART 2)
TEXT: "... and thou shalt be a blessing." Genesis 12:2
With the life giving Spirit resident in a believer, nothing is expected to die in his hands. The scripture says, "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." (Psa.1:3).
It says further in Isaiah 61:4, "And they shall build the old wasters, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations." While Isaiah 58:12 calls Him, "The repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in".
Therefore, child of God, there is no excuse not to fulfil destiny, by being a blessing, irrespective of where you find yourself per time in the will of God whether in Potiphar's house, prison or palace because Joseph was a blessing in all of these places for he had a proper perspective of being a blessing. He was constant in his person and principles despite the circumstance. Rather than his environment influencing him, he was the one influencing his environment with his right person.
As a repairer and as a restorer in God's kingdom, what can be tied to your name that you have repaired or restored? In your stay in that department, ministry, organization, what would you be remembered for? There are great deposits of divinity in you to make impact. Speaking of Zion, scripture says, "all my springs are in thee". Psa. 87:17. What you need do is to stir up those deposits into action with spiritual exercise. As you seek knowledge and pray also taking the actions of being a blessing, you will grow in it and become so.
PRAYER
My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, I arise this day to become a blessing.
