Our Natural Disposition can be Useful to the Lord in a Renewed and Transformed Way

November 4, 2014 by aGodMan Leave a Comment

Jacob’s prophesying with blessing in Genesis 49 applies both to the twelve tribes of Israel (his twelve sons) and to our Christian experience today in the church. In his blessing of the first three sons we don’t see many positive things – Reuben lost the birthright and didn’t receive the blessing because he indulged in […]

November 3, 2014 by aGodMan 2 Comments

At the end of his life, Jacob blessed everyone and he prophesied with blessing for each one of his sons. By faith Jacob, while he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshipped God while leaning on the top of his staff (Heb. 11:21). After he finished prophesying with blessing concerning each […]

Jehovah Bless you, Keep you, Shine on You, be Gracious to you, and Give you Peace!

The real blessing is God Himself; blessing is not a thing but a Person – God in Christ as the Spirit to be everything to us for our enjoyment. When Jacob blessed his sons, God blessed them. In Numbers 6:22-27 we see a pattern of blessing – God commanded the priests to bless the people, […]

We are Channels of Life and Priests to God to Overflow God to Others as Blessing

October 29, 2014 by aGodMan 2 Comments

The principle of blessing is that the greater blesses the lesser; the meaning of blessing is that blessing is the overflow of God through someone’s maturity in life. When God obtains a person who is mature in life, a person who is not only transformed but also mature, He has a way to flow through […]

At the end of his life, when he was 130 years old, Jacob went to Egypt together with all his family to be with Joseph; by this time he was a mature person, and he simply blessed everyone. The strongest sign of Jacob’s maturity in life was his blessing of others. When he met Pharaoh […]

Blessing is the Overflow of the Divine Life that Inwardly Changes us and Fills us

The issue of Jacob’s transformation and maturity was blessing – he blessed everyone! At the end of his life, when he went to Egypt, all Jacob did was to bless: he blessed Pharaoh, he blessed his sons, and he blessed Joseph’s sons. The issue of maturity in life and of the reigning aspect of a […]

Living under the Rulership of the Spirit within and Recognizing God’s Sovereignty

October 24, 2014 by aGodMan Leave a Comment

In Joseph we see a person who accepted everything from God’s hand, one who did not blame or accuse others but lived a life under the rulership of the Spirit. He had feelings and emotions, but he kept them in check, and he didn’t express his excitement or his sorrow. The rulership of the Spirit is […]
