THE BLESSING AND THE BLESSER || PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

If l were to ask you, "Which will you consider more important - the blessing or the Blesser?" you are likely to say the Blesser. However, there are millions of self-professing Christians around the world today who prioritise God's blessings above the One who blessed them in the first place. When you begin to choose your job over God, you are prioritising the blessing over the Blesser. I want you to do an honest check within yourself now; which one have you been prioritising - the blessing or the Blesser?

The unfortunate thing about prioritising the blessing over the Blesser is that the Blesser can withdraw His blessings at any time. In 1 Samuel 16:1,
God told Samuel to stop pleading on Saul's behalf because He had given the throne to someone else. In Genesis 48:20, we see how Jacob blessed Ephraim above his older brother Manasseh. Ephraim eventually became ten times successful than his brother (Deuteronomy 33:17).

However, when success came, Ephraim forgot God (Psalm 78:9-11), God kept sending prophets to Ephraim but he refused to listen to the Blesser. After some time, God said, "Let him alone" (Hosea 4:7). By the time we get to Hosea 5:9, God said that Ephraim would be desolate. Ephraim lost his blessings because he prioritise them above the Blesser. When success comes, don't forget God because He has the power to give and to take away.

When l became General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God. I decided by faith that God would feed everyone that came for our annual convention. One of the young men who was a baker said he would provide the bread for breakfast. He later on changed his mind and decided not to supply us bread as he had promised because he didn't like a message l preached. God however, sent help to us and we were able to purchase the bread we require. Years later, my baker friend appeared at my house very early one morning. I said, "What can l do for you? You came very early". He said he would have come but one of his tires got flat and he didn't have a spare. His was a man who used to have numerous cars; now, he didn't even have a spare tire because he placed the blessing above the Blesser

Beloved, focus on the Blesser and not the blessing.

God is more important than all the riches,great position and blessings in the world. Never forget that.
