ANCESTRAL BLESSINGS.

THIS SERMON IS A MUST HEAR OR READ. DO NOT MIND THE LENGTH.

Something to  go home with  today :

7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;7:10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. Deuteronomy  (Deut. 7 : 9 – 10).

As we have ancestral curses, we also have ancestral blessings.

Every good thing we do before the Lord are recorded by God and will be used to bless our generation.

God told Abraham you will be a blessing.

READ GENESIS 12 : 1 – 4

Abraham obeyed God and left Haran not knowing where he went to. Every man’s way must be tried to get a sure everlasting blessing.

JUDAH :

To Judah it was said the Sceptre shall not depart from  Judah.

READ GENESIS 49 : 10

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.”

 

Background information to note about Judah. :

According to many rabbis and historians, the Jews are largely descended from the House of Judah, the Southern Kingdom of Judah, chiefly consisting of the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Benjamin, with some of the tribe of Levi.

The northern kingdom separated and  fused with the nations. The Israel we have today are the tribes  of Judah from Leah and Benjamin  from Rachel both wives  of Jacob.

What does Judah represent in the Bible?

The text of the Torah argues that the name of Judah, meaning to thank or admit, refers to Leah’s intent to thank Hashem, on account of having achieved four children, and derived from odeh, meaning I will give thanks.

The name Judah comes from the intent of Leah to thank God for giving her four children.

Judah means ” To thank Hashem”

DO YOU HAVE THE HEART TO THANK GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS TOWARDS YOU? HOW DO YOU DEMONSTRATE THAT ?

To thank God may lead you to act in the following directions :  fundamentally appreciating God, self denial, righteous giving, devotion and  sanctified life.

What you use to thank God will never make you poor or miserable.. A habit of constantly thanking God and living in holiness would earn you ancestral blessings.

 

It is good to have a thankful heart for what ever you receive in life. Thanking God opens doors of  opportunities and heartful events coming across any life  which is devoted to God.

YOUR DEVOTION TO GOD COULD EARN YOU ANCESTRAL BLESSINGS,  WHICH COMES FROM NO WHERE ELSE,  BUT FROM GOD.

I want to encourage us to try to live a holy life before the Lord so that God may make a  life changing pronouncement over our  lives.

In as much as we are  alive,  iet it go on record, that God has said, ” in blessing I will bless you.”

Do you know we suffer deprivations in this life,  because we often do not put God first in the scheme of what we do.

We often go into oratory to approve some sinful lifestyles, by saying we must do this or that if we want to get on or survive. God is watching all things.

Often such actions carry elements of sin.

For Gideon to have victory over the Midianites  he had to destroy the temple of Baal built by his fathers. This brought a blessing to Israel as  nation.

GIDEON :

Judges 6:27-29 ISV – Gideon Destroys His Father’s Altar –

When the leading men of the city got up early the next morning, the altar to Baal had been torn down, along with the Asherah that had stood beside it.

When attack was raised against  Gideon , Joash the father if Gideon told the men of the city : Let Baal fight for itself and so we  have Jerubbaal. (Judges 6 : 32).

Stand for  the right in all you do in life and God will vindicate you. Those who want to fight for the idols of their villages will be humiliated in their generations.

Note this :

The  righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him. “But if a wicked man turns away from all the sins he has committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die.

Find time to read Ezekiel Chapter 18.

I was shocked recently to hear what one  senior advocate of Nigeria said : “Government can   use illegality to achieve her purpose.”

This is the life of people like Machiavelli who apply lies in  governance. Machiavelli said in governance you can lie with an uprisen face, to achieve what you  want without  shame.

Some people do not care and will  say:  “man die, man  go” and what they have done will not be remembered.

Man is made in the image of God and becomes an eternal being in the microcosm of God. So if we do evil, we will  live to suffer in  hell, but those who do  good will live  in eternal bliss in the presence of God.

LET RIGHTEOUSNESS BE YOUR LEGACY.

PRAYER :

LORD GRANT ME THE PRIVILEGE OF MY OWN ANCESTRAL BLESSING.
