What You Need Is Not Blessing! It is God’s face. When you see God face to face you will live and be changed. So, dare to behold Jesus for change. The grace of God to us is so elastic that it accommodates all of our failures and problems. But you must stop struggling or adding to Jesus. Jesus is enough. Whatever change or transition you desire, start with yourself by asking Him to help you. Do you see that Jacob did not invite God to come and wrestle with him? It was God who chose to do it. So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. Gen 32:24 (NIV). That’s grace intervention in the affairs of a man. Some of the areas you may need changes that trigger blessings may be:
1. Spiritual Change. This is right and correct knowledge of God and Jesus not about God. This should come with right believing. Don't be surprised that there are things in the Bible that you believed are true and correct in your own way but they are not because of wrong interpretation and inability to personally study the scriptures yourself. Has Jesus had a personal and progressive encounter with you? Since you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, are you growing in the knowledge of Jesus? Your heart desires and appetites should agree with God’s.
2. Mental Change: It easier for a child to learn new thing than an experienced or a mature person. And the more you correctly learn, read, study the right thing with appropriate understanding and actions and unlearn the wrong things, the better chance of experiencing increase in blessing. How many of things and secrets you know have you put into practice and continue in it? Be flexible to learn. Stop assuming things. Assumption is the lowest level of intelligence. Put your brain to work. Learn new language of money.
3 Attitudinal Change: This affects our temperamental disposition, cultural and social values beliefs, character, upbringing and many more. Who you are determines where you are. Each of us is the reason for our prosperity or poverty. Money, marriage, job, ministry or social relationships, success in life has to do with our attitude. If you're satisfied with where you're, it will only take you alone except divine intervention to change your position. Some have defensive attitude, some is nonchalant attitude, some offensive, some I don't care attitude, some it must be me alone at all cost, some have "what will be will be" attitude, some over confidence, some fearful attitude and many more. Which one do you need to work on?
4. Technological Change: Most aspects of our lives are being affected by technology. Things are now been done digitally. You cannot be operating typewriter now when there are mobile phones that can do its job. Child bearing today is being helped with technology. Businesses can change digitally. Use technology to your good advantage to be blessed. Businesses can change digitally.
Positive change is the mother that gives birth to blessings. The way Jacob gets his own is by divine encounter with God and his glory. How will you get your own? Possibly you need to settle on a fervent prayer altar, practice listening to the Holy Spirit yourself, read books, study the Bible, go for mentoring, forgive someone, go for vacation or excursion, take that risks or control your tongue and start speaking word of grace and believe right. Just don't wait until you're dislocated like Jacob.
If you don't change, things will change but only God remains the same.
Shalom!
