PERFECT BLESSINGS
- Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
Dear Friend! Even as you begin this new month it is my fervent prayer that God should grant you all His perfect blessings which He has in store for you (Psalm 20:4).
God desires to enlarge your borders where you have thus far been struggling. "For I will cast out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before the LORD your God three times in the year (Exodus 34:24).
Perhaps people look at you and say, "This one is a problematic person. I am facing all sorts of troubles because of this person. He is the cause of all sorrows and agony." Or, it could be that you are saying, "I am facing evil one after another. Everything that I venture into turns out to be a failure. I have no honour before men. People look down upon me. Lord! Please enlarge my territory."
In the Bible, we read about the prayer offered by Jabez. He was considered as one who caused pain. Therefore, Jabez pleaded with the Almighty God to bless him. "And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God granted him what he requested" (1 Chronicles 4:10). The Almighty God not only listened to his prayer but also granted his request. God blessed him so much so that it is recorded in the Bible that a certain city was named after him. God elevated Jabez to such a great extent that people arose to name a certain city as Jabez.
Similarly, God can enlarge your territories as well. On this day, God is going to grant you the wisdom, strength, honour and blessings in your family life which you have not experienced so far. Be of good cheer! God is going to enlarge your territories. The Bible states, "I have seen the consummation of all perfection, But Your commandment is exceedingly broad" (Psalm 119:96).
Prior to expanding our territories, God first of all enlarges our heart. God is asking us to give our heart to Him so that He could come and dwell in it making it to enlarge (Proverbs 23:26, Revelation 3:20). Your heart should not be filled with the desires of the world but it should be filled with the Holy Spirit. God can fill anything and therefore He can extend your territory. It is the desire of our Lord Jesus to fill you and your household with the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
When Jesus Christ is your all in all then God will perfect everything concerning you. You will be still and know that He alone is the Almighty God. God will fight the battle for you. You will receive the placement that you need, the exact score in your results, peace will prevail in all your relationships and everything will turn out to be a blessing for you. Be of good cheer.
It is stated in the Bible, "And the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you (Deuteronomy 28:11).
It is also stated, "Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than heaven; what can you do? Deeper than Sheol; what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea. "If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment, Then who can hinder Him? For He knows deceitful men; He sees wickedness also. Will He not then consider it? Job 11:7-11.
Every perfect gift and blessing is in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:3). The Psalmist says, "They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. Psalm 36:8.
God grants wisdom to those who cry out saying, "Lord! I have no wisdom at all". He gives His healing touch to those who are sick. God grants victory to those who have being facing defeat. God will remove every lack by filling your heart and your life with perfect blessings. From this day onwards, the Lord is going to bless you abundantly.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus
You alone can grant us the perfect blessings that we need. I believe that every form of perfect gift and blessings is in You. Just as how Jabez prayed, 'Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!' I request You to enlarge my territories, fulfill the desires of my heart and make me glad on this day.
In Your matchless name I pray.
Amen.
