Prepare For Your Blessings

Published: Sept. 11, 2023, 10 p.m.

This is a Prophetic Message preached in Anchorage Church on 03 September 2023. Though this was preached in the local church in Dubai - UAE, this is a message meant for the global church, this is meant for nations across the globe. This belongs to everyone who is a believer of Jesus Christ.\xa0

The promise of God to His church in this new month September is that He will bring about HUGE BLESSINGS to people who have been waiting upon Him. Blessings include Physical / Monetary / Material Blessings too. Whenever you hear the word 'Blessing', let not your mind interpret blessing to be just materialistic. Blessing is more than just being blessed with worldly, materialistic blessings. Blessing is s superset encompassing all kinds of blessings that you can think of. Jesus died on the cross to bless you in every aspect of blessing.

Now, this month September 2023, the Lord speaks specifically about blessing you with physical blessings that you haven't even known about, those things that haven't been made visible to your physical eyes. God will shed light on those blessings which were long held in darkness and when He blesses you with it, His intention is just not to bless you but to make you a blessing to the Kingdom.

To Read : Isaiah 45:2,3

I will go before you and level the exalted places, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron, I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who call you by your name.

Here, even as Rev. John Samuel is so excited in announcing the Lord's promise to you, he literally prepares you for the blessing that's ahead. On a serious note, he warns that none of you should be buried inside the blessing because of your overly desire for material blessing. He preaches with a beautiful analogy that, looking up to the blesser constantly rather than being buried in the blessing only can keep you alive physically and spiritually.\xa0

Preparation for Upcoming Blessing :

Joshua 5:2 Circumcision - as per today's understanding / new covenant understanding, it is to re-establish / renew relationship / stay in relationship with the Lord no matter how the circumstances are. Even if your life looks like walking in the wilderness, the Lord is mindful of His promise to His people and He wants you to remember it and always recall that it's not by man's strength but by His faithfulness and purpose you will be blessed. According to the NT Texts, Circumcision is of the heart, this again means the heart posture should be set right. The purity of the heart matters, while you wait for the promised physical blessing to manifest. Pride & arrogance cannot let God come near you, God is against proud and haughty people. He is near to those who are humble and with a contrite spirit.\xa0 \xa0

Joshua 5:10 Passover - Jesus is your passover. In the new-covenant understanding, its a perfect reminder of the finished work of Jesus on the cross. He went to the cross to let the weak say, "I am strong", to let the poor say, "I am rich". The original glorious reason behind Jesus becoming your substitute and taking up that death on the cross was to save you from eternal damnation and bless you in His intended ways. Passover also means bringing a circle of protection around you by the blood of Jesus, that keeps you from the devouring plans of the enemy against you and the blessin
