WHAT IT MEANS TO BE TRULY BLESSED
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE TRULY BLESSED
Jacob had two wives : Racheal and Leah. Rachael was loved and Leah was; just endured – even to the point that when reference was made to the two women in genesis, Rachael was mentioned first before Leah, when its obvious she was the first wife. But note this :
From Rachael came: Joseph Saul Paul and was kept close, together with her children when Jacob went to meet his brother, Esau.

Nothing would be more devastating than to hear these words from Jesus, and it begs the question we all ought to ask:
How would you rate YOUR love and commitment for God? Is it close, devoted, and reverent? Or casual, presumptive, or lacadaisical?
If you don’t reverence the Lord as Almighty, the Creator who MADE YOU and LOVES YOU wholeheartedly and have not this same union with Him in your heart, your 'lukewarmness' might as well be ICY COLD.
Friend, if this is the case in your life, look inside your heart and examine where you stand with the Lord. If you need to rekindle your love for God, don’t stay in a rebellious or indifferent state! Instead pray:
Dear LORD, I have cooled my heart towards you. Please forgive me, Lord. I am so sorry, and I ask You to soften my heart, because I realize how much you love me. I don’t want to be lukewarm in my life towards you, but instead to rightfully honor you as my Lord and God with my whole heart on fire for you from this moment on for the rest of my life. — AMEN

If you ask most people to define 'success,' you’ll get a variety of answers.
For many it means wealth, for others having a Top Career Or Position, or perhaps being Famous and/or being Well Respected By Others. In this life, all of these have their place, but what is God’s Measure Of Success??
Today’s scripture gives us a strong clue, but if there is one thing that could guide us without a doubt, it would be this:
SUCCESS Is KNOWING the WILL of God And DOING IT
You see, God knows your best path for every aspect of your life. This includes your job or career, who you’ll marry, where you should live, or what things He wants you to do and accomplish. The Bible tells story after story of people that were obedient to God - and as a result - they successfully accomplished what He set them out to do.
So friend, if you are seeking to be successful in life, don’t just 'think' or develop your own plan on how you’ll succeed! Instead seek out God’s perfect and purposeful WILL, and when you understand and DO what He has directed you to do, then you will truly be 'Prosperous and Have Great Success.' (Joshua 1:8)

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your faithfulness to God?
Unfortunately, some think that they can live life with one foot in the world and the other foot half way committed to God, but doing so is a slippery slope which always takes us BACKWARDS to trouble instead of FORWARD to Blessing.
Imagine your child treating you the way you treat God — giving lip service by pretending to be good, but sneaking around doing things you were taught not to do. Doing so dishonors God but grieves him!
You see, when we obey God, we demonstrate our love and faithfulness to Him. Jesus said, “If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” (John 15:10–11).
Friend, playing games with God is never good because not only is He watching us, but because others are watching how we live. As the NEW TESTAMENT is a testament of the gospel to the world, our lives need to be a LIVING TESTAMENT that reflect God to others in how we talk, act, and live.
My dear friend, if you have been “playing games with God,” now is the time to live a much more obedient life — and with it will come peace and a deep satisfaction of being in your wealthy place. That is the game that God wants YOU to “WIN!”
