Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58
I listened to Arc. Bishop Benson Idahosa Preach a sermon on how Joseph prospered even in prison, and that many Christians though not in prison yet they aren't prospering.
I believe one thing is responsible, and two reason why; (talking about the blessing).
1. Lack of it.
2. Unconscious of it.
You see, Joseph had the blessing of God in his life, because he is a seed of Abraham who obtained the promise. Joseph was very conscious of the blessing on him.
One thing that makes the Jews successful in everything they do is that they approach every venture with the mentality and consciousness of the blessing and that they must succeed. This make them have the noticeable superiority mentality over everyone around them.
The major problem with many Christians today, is that they haven't really not settle it within themselves that the Word of God is real, and have little or no understanding about the blessing (many think it's mere greeting or well wishing). Deep down many have doubts the reality of the gospel. This attitude reflects on our walk of the Christian faith. It's the reason many give up when it is taking longer than expected for their desired breakthrough.
When you have faith in something, you stand till the end.
Hebrews 11:6 says,
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
Jesus is Lord!
Mark Enahoro
