I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make
your name great, and you will be a blessing. (Genesis 12:2)

Dearly beloved, on this wonderful day, even as you begin the beautiful
month of April, I would like to bring to your remembrance a promise of
God for you: “Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you
and bless you” (Exodus 20:24).
God desires to place His
blessings upon you (Numbers 6:24-26). God gave a commandment to Moses
asking Aaron, his brother, the High Priest to pronounce three blessings
upon His people.
Whenever people gather to worship God, Aaron was supposed to pronounce those three blessings on behalf of God upon His people.
Dear
Friend! God desires to place His divine blessings upon His beloved
children. The pastor on behalf of God places these three blessings upon
His people and they come to rest on the people of God.
Numbers
6:24 says, “The Lord bless you and keep you.” If you read Genesis 12:2,
it is always God’s desire that we should be blessed. You must always
remember that it is God’s desire to bless you. He will not only bless
you on this day but will keep you blessed forever (Psalm 1:3). Whatever
you do shall prosper.
A lawyer named Lionel Luckhoo faced many
cases in the Supreme Court and he won in all the cases. He testified for
the glory of God in a big convention. Before going to the court he
would lay his hands on the case bundle and pray, “Lord! This is not my
battle. You please fight for me.” Therefore, he won all the cases.
The
Queen of England knighted him as Sir Lionel Luckhoo conferring upon him
the highest title. On this day, God is eager to bless you and keep you
blessed always. When does this blessing come upon us? This blessing
comes upon us when our soul is blessed. The Bible says, “The LORD will
keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life” (Psalm 121:7).
When
our soul is blessed, every other blessing follows us. Lord Jesus Christ
says, “"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and
all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33). Therefore,
whenever you gather to worship God and honour Him, your soul is being
blessed and it prospers.
The Bible asks, “What good is it for a
man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Mark 8:36). You can
rule the whole world but if you do not save your soul, it will not be of
any profit to you. Therefore, God says, “When you come to worship Me, I
will bless your soul and prosper it.” Shall we seek the Lord diligently
and remind ourselves that we ought to remember to say, “God desires to
bless me today.”
Prayer:Loving Lord Jesus,
I
seek You with all my heart. You alone are the incomparable God. You are
the One who does miracles and mighty acts without number. For with you
nothing is impossible. I trust that my help comes from You the maker of
Heaven and Earth. I place this entire month into Your loving hands.
Please bless me and keep me, make Your face shine up me and grant me
Your divine peace.
I ask this through Christ our Lord
Amen.
