I saw this in Facebook and I have been blown away with how Amena Brown created this video. She's one talented woman.
Check the video. It will change your life!
God Bless you!
Why Am I Not Blessed Yet?
A lot of us get disappointed when our prayers are unanswered.
A lot of us get discouraged when things aren't going the way we want it!
A lot of us then ask, "Where is God when I needed Him most?"
Can you relate? I can.
A lot of times, I asked, "Why Am I Not Blessed Yet?"
The Bible as always has the answer!
James wrote,
2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. [James 4:2-3]
The issue is not whether God wants to bless us or not. In fact, God wants to bless us. That's already a given fact! [Gen. 12:3]
The question we should ask ourselves is "Why are we asking for the things we're asking?"
James clearly said, "we don't receive what we ask because we ask with wrong motives."
"
In Deut. 8:18,
Deuteronomy 8:18 (New King James Version)
18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
Are we so good in asking for anything and when we receive it, do we immediately forget what the blessings are for?
In Deut. 8:18, the Word of the Lord says "He will give us POWER to get wealth!" Did he say for you to go and spend it for your selfish desires? No! He didn't. Instead he said, "That HE can ESTABLISH his covenant!"
Are we glorifying GOD with what we have now? Are we even giving our tithes faithfully? Are we even generous enough to share to the needy and hungry?
Some few things to check before asking today!
And MAY GOD SO RICHLY BLESS YOU!

If You Say So, I Will Obey
Luke 5:1-6 (The Message)
Push Out into Deep Water
1-3Once when he was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret, the crowd was pushing in on him to better hear the Word of God. He noticed two boats tied up. The fishermen had just left them and were out scrubbing their nets. He climbed into the boat that was Simon's and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Sitting there, using the boat for a pulpit, he taught the crowd.
4When he finished teaching, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch."
5-7Simon said, "Master, we've been fishing hard all night and haven't caught even a minnow. But if you say so, I'll let out the nets." It was no sooner said than done—a huge haul of fish, straining the nets past capacity. They waved to their partners in the other boat to come help them. They filled both boats, nearly swamping them with the catch.
How are you handling GOD's WORD? Are we like the people James wrote about in James 1:21-25 where people love hearing the WORD but are not able to apply what they have heard. People who have seen themselves in the mirror but after that they forget how they look like.
We hear God's WORD every Sunday. We're moved and encouraged with the Word of GOD. But when Monday comes, we can't even find our Bibles?
Here Peter obeyed and did what God had told him to do. This is even if he had already "worked hard". He said "If You Say So, I Will Do It", in another translation it would say "At Your Word, I will obey".
What happens after that was miraculous that their nets almost broke out for the large amount of catch!
Now that's amazing! When we learn to obey God's WORD, much success and miraculous prosperity is surely coming our way!
So how is your Bible Reading lately? What have you been doing to apply what GOD had taught you to do?
Time to check again...
God Bless you!
