Topic: Conditions For Blessing
Text: Hebrews 11:1-6

Do you know that there are conditions for divine breakthroughs? Let us examine them today. The one chosen for a breakthrough will have to do something about it. It is one thing to give and it is another to receive. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land. Abraham received God’s message and did something about it (Genesis 12:1-3). As soon as God said he should go, he packed his thing and went.

When God told Sarah that she would have a child, even though she laughed and did not believe it she received it anyhow and did something about it. She yielded to her husband and, nine months later, her baby came. Hannah also received the prophecy of the man of God that he request would be granted (I Samuel 1:18). She became sad no more. If you will believe you will see the glory. Again, those who will have a breakthrough must be hard working. They must also be great givers. Abraham was a great giver. He was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. The widow of Zarepath has her last meal to Elijah obediently. She was an exceptional giver.

Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings and God appeared to him and asked him what He should do for him (II Chronicles 1:6-7). In Philippians 3:7-8, Paul said all that were gain to him he had handed over to Jesus. In I Samuel 1:24-28, Hannah gave the son God gave her back to God. Are you a great giver?

Those who will have breakthroughs must be great and tremendous worshippers. God is a Spirit and those that worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth, for He seeks such people. In I Samuel 2:1-2, Hannah worshiped God and said there is none as holy as the Lord. Do you really know how to worship God? Are you addicted to worship and praising God? You are then a candidate for blessings. Take the steps outlined in today’s devotional story and you will be blessed.
