Unraveling THE MYSTERIES OF BLESSING CHAPTER 1 THE MYSTERY OF BLESSING And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. Genesis 32:26-29. We must accept that the Bible is a highly coded book. It is wrapped in great mysteries and only those who give attention to search out matters therein receive the glory and the honor it bestows (1Tim.3:16; Pro.25:2). Undoubtedly, blessing is one of the deepest mysteries of godliness; we must practically understand its principles and demands in order to enjoy it in full. There was so much that Jacob knew about blessing that this generation ought to go for. He insisted on being blessed and refused to let God go until he got what he wanted. Though, this was at a great cost of personal pain but his story changed forever after that experience. May you also begin to make it by favor and no more by labor in the Name of Jesus Christ. May the God of blessings terminate all struggles of your life. Amen. Blessing is an act of declaring God’s favor and goodness upon a person or a group of individuals. Blessings can also rest upon an environment, place, organization or things. Blessing, in its actual sense, is not mere words but an invocation that comes with the power to accomplish it. It also entails the mystery of invoking, causing or empowering prosperity and wellness. The initiatives in empowering or imparting blessings always reside with God. And for this reason, the whole creation depends upon God’s blessing for its continual existence and function. The blessings of a man for other men will remain mere wishes until the power of God backs them up. Meanwhile, when God blesses, He releases with it a mysterious power that makes the blessing effective. And when this power rests on you, you no more celebrate by methods but by the mercy of God. Please note, at this stage, that every true Christian dwells under a strong positional blessing, which is capable of attracting tremendous benefits. Staggering provisions and incredible blessings are hanging upon all the offspring of Jesus Christ (Is. 44:3; Gal. 3:9; Eph. 1:3). However, they must be drawn upon our individual lives to make us partakers of this blessing. Meanwhile, the subject of His blessings should interest us greatly and rank among our top priority list of our divine quests. NATURE OF DIVINE BLESSING As earlier on established, God is involved in every effectual bestowal of gifts and blessings upon sons of men, both temporal and spiritual. When blessings proceed from Him, it is full, rich, unstoppable and void of sorrow. It always turns to a misadventure for anyone to seek to curse the man whom God has blessed. God always changes the curses to blessings in such circumstances (Deut.23:5). This was the lesson that Balaam learnt the hard way (Num. 24:1). Essentially, divine blessing is a Word-based benefit. By its very nature, blessing is usually invoked by words spoken under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit through human channels. And once spoken into being, the benefits of blessing cannot be retrieved even by the man who invoked it (Gen.27:33). The final control of blessings resides with God. A very pertinent question here is, who can serve as a channel to convey blessing? The general rule from the scripture is: “the less is blessed of the better” (Heb7:17). The whole idea here defines the fact that only father-figures have the positions and the authority to bless. Leaders often blessed their followers, especially when they were getting ready to leave the world. Again in the Bible, important persons or father-figures, blessed those with less positional power or influence. A father-figure is someone for whose sake God will act to empower or bless other people. For example, Isaac was blessed for the sake of Abraham (Gen.26:24). Also, the Egyptian master in Joseph’s story received the blessing of the Lord upon his entire household for the sake of Joseph (Gen.39:5). Father-figures include your biological or spiritual parents and, indeed, everyone who has rule over you to guide, instruct, direct, train or teach you in physical or spiritual matters that relate to your progress, growth and development. From scriptures also, we learn that priests are divinely authorized to bless (Deut.10:8). Many examples of blessing by fathers and father-figures abound in the Word of God: -
Isaac blessed Jacob before he died (Gen.27:4, 27-29). -
Jacob blessed his children before he died (Gen.49:1-28). -
Moses, the Man of God, blessed the children of Israel (Deut.33:1-33). -
David also blessed his own entire household (1Chr.16:43). -
Joshua blessed the tribes of Israel (Jos.22:6-7). -
Jesus Christ our Lord blessed His disciples (Lk.24:49-50). Now, blessing is a product of soul’s activity. For example, it was with his soul that Isaac blessed his son Jacob in Genesis 27. Paul also taught that the words of a blessing produce no positive effect unless the spirit-man is engaged (1Cor.14:16). Therefore, when a great or anointed soul is made happy, it becomes provoked to release the blessing. In addition, Job also confirmed that blessings come our way each time we lend a hand and reach out to the helpless (Job 29:12-13). The bottom line is: blessing is a produce of the mercy of God (Rom.9:16). Better believe it, when God blesses a man by mercy, that man is blessed irrespective of who dislikes him or what demerits him. The mercy of God terminates misery and woes. God does not struggle to bless; the power is always there to accomplish His purposes in the lives of men. He said to Solomon in a dream, ‘I have also given thee’ (1Kg.3:13). And that was it. The man lived and died without any equal among the mortals of his time. Friends, receive it today, you are blessed in Jesus’ Name. Amen. IMPARTATION FOR BLESSINGS We said earlier that it takes a mysterious power to make effectual the invocation of blessings. And it is the application of that power upon lives of mortal men that we refer to as impartation. Impartation is ‘God upon the flesh, doing things flesh cannot accomplish’. Until this power is manifested, our blessedness is in doubt. When a man is imparted, God’s power indwells him to make him a man of strong unction. It is a mystery, but when this unction is poured or smeared upon a man, things begin to function better and everybody sees the effects. (Acts 1:8; Jn.14:12). Jesus Christ was empowered for ministry at Jordan and from that point on Christians of all generations become supernatural beings through the impartation of that divine order (Heb.6:4). This same supernatural nature makes us partakers of the Holy Spirit whereby we receive access to all the blessings of God. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Peter 1:2-4 Impartation is for impact. When impartation comes upon a man, like oil of God, it brings a lasting source of energy, prevents tension, increases our purchasing power and as a heavenly fragrance it brings remedy against commonness of life. In addition, impartation seats you on your throne as a king and establishes God’s plans for your life. May your life open up today for a fullness of His impartation in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

EATING THE HONEY IN THE LION “Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness”, goes the riddle of Samson. Life remains a riddle until light is shed on our pathway. Indeed, every high flyer in life is a product of encounter with light. Insight goes before majesty. Nothing enhances good life like understanding and nothing destroys destiny like ignorance. Life assumes no meaning before discovery. It takes discovery to enjoy kingdom benefit. And until discovery is made, destinies remain undervalued. In this book you will discover how to turn stumbling blocks to stepping stones, opposition to opportunities, trials to triumph, ridicules to miracles, pressure to praise and bring the best out of life circumstances. We all can enjoy honey in the lion, but we must kill the lion first to eat the honey. That is the way of discovery.

The latest book written by Bishop Taiwo Akinola - Enforcing the Lordship of Jesus Christ - and published by Miracle Seed Publication is out eventually. It was made available for reading audience on Sunday 2nd November 2008. Find an excerpt from the book below: The subject of the Lordship of Jesus Christ is a most crucial issue in Christian living. Yes, it is absolutely fundamental to Christian discipleship. It is a main assessment that determines who is a real believer. In fact, it is an important factor that confirms which church is the largest in town. The Lordship of Jesus Christ deals not only with forcing demons to bow, but it is also concerned with the daily submission and surrender of our entire self to the authority and leadership of Christ. It also involves recognizing the sovereign right of Jesus Christ to rule preeminently over us. It involves the abdication of self from the throne of our lives and the enthronement of Jesus Christ in the place of self. This sterling doctrine determines how useful and relevant a man will ever be to the Ultimate Plan of God. And when you receive and practice this doctrine, you automatically embrace grace to enjoy a stress-free Christian life.
