Count Your Blessings

 By Deacon Ike Mbila

In this our month of “Showers of Blessing on Every Side”, we must ask ourselves some key questions like what is showers? 

What is blessing? And what might we do to provoke God’s blessings to rain on us on every side in this month?  

Showers is a mode of precipitation characterized by an abrupt start and rapid variations in intensity often strong comes from convective clouds like cumulus congestus. 

It comes suddenly in a galore of events. Blessing is a prayer asking for God’s favor and protection, In Hebrew it is barak which means kneeling to adore or praise. 

Therefore, in this month, we must seek the trajectory that will help us achieve this desire for blessing from God to shower on us on every side. What must we do? 

 Count the blessings God Has already granted you/us and appreciate God for those - Philippians 1:6.  Sow a battle seed or get into a covenant with God as Hannah did – 1st Samuel 1:17-19.
 Pray without ceasing – 1st Thessalonians 5:17.
 We must believe in the word of God encompassed in the theme of the month - Ezekiel 34:26 
 Remind God of His promises in His word which never returns to Him void - Isaiah 55:10-11 
 Humility and staying away from any who might make you fall away – 2nd Chronicles 7:14 
 Position yourself to receive the showers of blessing all round, by being in God’s presence always – 2nd Samuel 6:11-12 

May we be showered with blessings all around, in Jesus mighty name. 

You will have good success this 2021. Remain blessed.
