Topic:
Provoking Blessing You can provoke God. There are certain things you can do to cause God to arise and bless you. Nothing happens by chance. Every occurrence has an antecedent. A curse would not come except there is a reason for it. In the same vein, blessing will not come without a reason for it. The simplest way to prepare yourself for blessings, according to the Scriptures, is by making someone happy to the extent that he would pronounce a blessing on you. We have an example in our text: Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; and make men savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee before I die.” When someone’s soul blesses you it is the deepest kind of blessing. Isaac asked his son, Esau, to make him happy by preparing his best food for him so that when he pronounced the blessing, it would work. When someone who has the authority to bless you does so, and there is a reason for it, you can be sure that it would work. In Genesis 22, after God told Abraham to give Him his son Isaac, he did not disobey. Because of this, God pronounced blessings on him “…for because thou hast done this thing…. That in blessing I will bless thee and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea-shore, and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. And in thy seed shall the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.” Abraham made God happy and God blessed him and his seed (Genesis 22:16-18). You can provoke God to bless you by doing things that will gladden His heart. All you have to do is to locate what you will do to make God lavish His blessings on you. Carry out those things and you will be blessed.
