IS YOUR ROOM BIG ENOUGH FOR BLESSING? — PROPHET TONY MATHIAS

“Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep {me} from harm that {it} may not pain me!” And God granted him what he requested.” 1 Chronicles 4: 10

Many are familiar with the prayer of ‘Jabez.’ They practice it but are unsuccessful since they have not understood the principle behind it. They need to practice the principle.

And what is the principle? – Preparation Precedes Blessing.

“This is what the Lord says: ‘Dig ditches all over this dry stream bed. Even though you will not see any rain or wind, this stream bed will be filled with water, and you, and your livestock and your pack animals will have plenty to drink”…The next morning at the time of the morning sacrifice water came flowing from the direction of Edom and covered the ground. 2 Kings 3: 16-17, 20

– No water until the ditches were dug!

Then he said: “Go to your neighbours and borrow as many empty jars as you can,” Elisha told her. Then you and your sons go into the house, close the door, and start pouring oil into the jars. Set each one aside as soon as it is full…When they had filled all the jars, she asked if there were any more, “That was the last one,” one of her sons answered. And the olive oil stopped flowing. 2 Kings 4: 3-4, 6

– No multiplication of oil, until the vessels were gathered!

From 1 Chronicles 4: 10 we can glean two important ingredients to a supernatural life of abundance –‘Asking and Ability.’ We need to petition (ask) God for His blessing and avail of His ability (grace) to handle them just like Jabez did for he knew he was unable to handle them in the natural and God granted him his request.

God blesses those who have prepared themselves to be blessed. Preparing for your blessings speaks of your faith-in-action. God never gives you something you are not ready for. You may have asked God to pour out abundant blessing but find you only have a cup full. Do you have the capacity to handle or properly manage those blessings? If God gave you what you asked for how much of it would be wasted? You can’t build a barn big enough to hold God blessings. Only God knows the measure and dependability of that container needed to possess His blessings and integrity. And you are that container. On the other hand, many may be preparing to be blessed to be a blessing but have forgotten God in their preparation.

God told Abraham that He was going to multiply and bless him abundantly and for that to happen God told him to move away from his family to a place He would show him. The reason why he had to move was to get rid of pagan influences and make room for God’s blessing. God blessed Abraham but also gave him the means and ability to
possess and care for his blessing.

Have you asked God for anything in life? Do you believe He will answer you? Have you made sufficient preparation in line with your request including Him in your preparations?

Believe God will bless you. Be prepared for your blessing before they manifest.

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – May 2020 (Dose of Prophecy)

by evsopiadmin, posted in Daily Prophecy, Encouragement, Prophecy

I sense the Lord saying – This is the appropriate season, the appointed time for permitting My judgment of the global-pandemic since wickedness is reigning paramount having replaced justice.

I hear Him saying – “I have heard the outcry of earth’s citizens of its wickedness as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, and as in the days of Noah, enough to allow judgment, and I am constrained to bring it to full bloom because of the cry of my faithful prayer warriors and so there is going to be a quick exit of this virus for the sake of my very own – and after the storm will come the calm.”

And with the calm comes another bloom – All the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea – and the words of the prophets worldwide shall usher in the much-awaited global great awakening revival. There is going to be a great hunger for hearing the voice of God, and the prophetic.

People will be woken up very early in the morning with a desire to pray.

Rejoice and be glad Oh ye righteous and shout for joy all ye that are upright in heart.

He says, He will manifest His presence and there shall be visitations inside locked doors to those who have made him their dwelling place amidst suffering, loss, uncertainties – that nothing will lock him out, neither walls or closed doors just like when he appeared to his disciples huddled together in seclusion, scared, confused, and anxious about their future – that this lockdown would itself become a doorway to step into God’s presence.

Yes, He says: “I will manifest my presence and there shall be visitations within locked doors accompanied with my peace and questions of uncertainty will vanish.”

He says, that because we believe in Him, a spring forms within us providing us with life-giving water and eternal life and streams flowing continually from our innermost being in benediction and blessing to others.

He says that there is one thing that would limit the flowing out, the release of His tangible presence and that is the mouth-gate.

He says: “I am the LORD thy God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, the proverbial ‘house of bondage,’ on the way to your promised land so open wide your mouth and I will fill it with my words and my presence.”

He says: “Will you not stir me up and unlock my presence with your lips to a world that awaits my arrival?”

He says – Preach repentance and be quick to repent, believe and forgive!

I sense the Lord saying: Here comes the heavenly invasion, next the worldwide tsunami of My glorious presence – then the end shall come, the snatching-away, up, up and away into the glorious realms of heaven.

Be Blessed and Highly Favored!
