WHY DO WE DETER GOD FROM BLESSING US?

All of us desire to live a good life; we want to enjoy it to the fullest before we die. There is no one who wants to live miserably; even the laziest of people want to be rich. That’s why every weekday we go to school/work so that in the future we maybe stable financially.

Riches and poverty are all within everyone’s capability, it all depends with one’s mindset. If one can decide to be wealthy and work tirelessly towards that, he or she will become wealthy. But if the person has no vision and he/she is lazy, becoming wealthy will be a dream that was dreamt two century ago!

Sometimes we often have different goals that we intend to achieve within a specific span of time. But we often think we don’t have that capability to accomplish that dream. That’s a lie; because everything we need to achieve something is within our reach.

Thinking positively is not just enough; also one has to make a number of risks. A risk is an exposure to the    chance of injury or loss. This means there is a possibility of something bad happening, it doesn’t imply that bad thing must occur.

Many of us don’t want to risk because we fear to fail; that’s not true because not every time you risk you will fail. You can risk and be successful. Furthermore, if  all risks would always bring negative outcomes, people wouldn’t be risking.

This reminds me of Abram; God had told him to leave his family in Ur and go to the land of Canaan where no one knew him at all! Lets be frank here; if it were you, would you go? I guess very few people would accept to go.

That was a worthy risk because God blessed him in that place and gave him a son. I highly suspect if Abraham had refused, he wouldn’t be referred  as the father of faith.

There are certain things that we hold on to and they will deny us our blessings. We often think if we let go of

this particular thing,we wont survive. That is the spirit of fear that the enemy is trying

to put in us so that we stick to one place for a long time.

There things in our lives that wont change until we take up some risks! Let me ask you, when you go to

sleep, how sure are you that you will wake up the next day? That is a risk that we take every

night without knowing.

Now we cant say that we will not sleep because we are not sure if will wake up the next day. That is

absolutely nonsense!Because we need to sleep so that our mind may have enough rest

and be fresh the next day.

This reminds me the story of David and Goliath; Goliath was a very big giant and he came to challenge the

nation of Israel! Saul and his army were wondering whom do they send to go to brawl

with this big monster.

They had stayed there forty days and forty nights, but there was a small boy from the family of Jesse who

had came to bring food to his brothers. This boy heard that there was a giant who had been

challenging them.

David told the king he was ready to face the challenge; his eldest brother Eliab tried to discourage him but he

refused to listen to the negative words and went ahead and killed Goliath.

Sometimes we often want God to bless us and yet we still hold on to some mischievous behaviours. Never 

expect to be wealthy and yet you always spend money on prostitutes! Why don’t you use

that money to start a business?

There are many people who are struggling financially, not because they are poor, these people even have

assets which are worth millions of money which they do not help them. These people fear

selling the assets hence they say “businesses are too risky these days”.

Now I wonder if a person doesn’t eat because he/she insinuate that every food is poisonous, how does

he/she expect to grow? Life is all about risks, if people don’t want risk then they should

stop admiring a wealthy life!
