God didn't give us our blessings in piecemeal, broken down in units. No, there are holistically fitted and packed in Him, Christ for us. The location and address of all that each of us have been ordained to possess throughout a lifetime, are placed in Him for us to enjoy in Jesus, God didn't place them individually here and there, so we can't go here and there to pick them up.
The location and address of our jobs, works, cars, houses, homes, wives, healings, certificates, lands, golds, children, silvers, visas, Bank accounts, and all that we can think or imagine are placed in Christ Jesus for every one of us. And as we abide in Christ, Him alone has been appointed and ordained by God to help us search them out in Him by the leading of His Spirit.
But we have devised means to mentally divide them into parts, separate units, and thus step out of the leading of the Spirit to help ourselves out. we are engaged in the chase of each of them as we have purposed in our minds just like the people of the world.
Don't fractionalize your blessings in Christ so that you begin to chase then unit by unit, or parts by parts. You chase one to United Kingdom today or Lagos, you return to Abuja, and you are chasing another one to the National Assembly, no, no, no, you will just encumber yourself with lot of cares, unnecessary struggles and burdens that Jesus has been ordained to originally bear for the Church while we enjoy our blessings in Him.
Jesus is the wrapped up of your blessings (and mine) in God the Father. Stop chasing them one by one — individually — that would only help you to be frustrated, rather chase the summed up — Christ, our all in all— and you will find rest, peace, and quietness for your soul.
No hunter can chase 10 rabbits simultaneously and still have a catch. But he or she can go for a mother rabbit and have 10 rabbits by it. It is a question of time and patience.
Many who don't want to inherit the blessings patiently have often in their hurry after the rat race of life were swallowed up by the sea of the world (load of cares), many had backslidden, stepped out of Christ and never returned. The counsel of the Holy Spirit is that "We should run with patience the race that has been set before us looking unto Jesus the Author and the finisher of our Faith", according to Hebrew chapter 12 verse 1 and 2.
Be wise while running the race, we can't fashion it out our own ways and still think we are still enlisted on the race, no! It is only those who allow the Holy Spirit to lead them, show them things according to the Will of Christ for them that are still on the Kingdom race. Stop chasing your needs under individual name; Jesus Christ is the wrapped up of all that we have inherited in God, and Him alone we are to chase.
See what the Bible says in Matthew chapter 6 verse 33, Revelation chapter 5 verse 12, and John chapter 15 verse 5:
Saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing! “So above all, constantly seek God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly! “I [Jesus] am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless.
Also, see what the Bible says in Matthew chapter 6 verse 31 and 32, "Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things."
The moment we step aside to figure it out our ways, and in the manner of the world, people that have not known the Father; none do they fear and reverence the Son of God (our Lord and Saviour), to learn their ways of rebellion, following their paths and patterns which they have learned from their master, the prince of the system of this world, such will lead us away from the source of our life, and the essence of our existence.
We can't lead ourselves and still get the counsel of God right for us, as if though we have diligently followed the Leading of sons by the Spirit. Our blessings are placed in Him for us regardless of how many we are; we are yet members of His body that He cherishes and nurtured.
We were not created to be self-dependent; we were created to be God dependent regardless how intelligent we are. To abandon Him in whom we were created to exist, abide, live, and walk is to turn back on who we are and should be. We are beloved of the Father regardless of what we think of ourselves. There is no particular creature among the uncountable creatures of God that delights the heart of God like the Lord God has found pleasure in man, and have exalted Him above all flesh.
“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2).
Make Jesus your chase, let Him be the basis for your living. Seek your all in Him and through Him. Let Him be the Lord of your all in all, not just in words but in Truth and worship. Chasing your blessing individual aside Christ is to open yourself to discouragement, and unnecessary struggles.
Our heavenly Father desires the prosperity of His children far above anyone could think it. But there is no other way that we can do it apart from the One He has ordained to be the head of all things to all in the Household of FAITH. Make Jesus the centre of your focus and your pursuit, desire Him above all things, and access your all in Him, then you will inherit His Peace and internal excellence.
The commandment of the Father to them and to us has not changed. And here is the delight of the Father for us in the Son, "Let all men and women and children seek all things in the Son, Christ the Lord". Are you seeking for political appointed, the desire of the Father is not that, you should start lobbying from house to house, rather that you do the delight of the Father in the Son: " Seek your political appointed in the Son?” Are you looking for job, healings, fame, breakthrough, and your wants, don't go about looking for help somewhere else, the delight of the Father is that, "You seek or do your shopping in the Son?” He is the summed up of all our Divine inhabitance in the Father.
“This is my beloved Son, listen to Him [ anything you want, do whatsoever He ask you to do].” except we obey God in this one thing, even though We have been redeemed from the corruption that's in the World through the lust of our members, yet we would still be brought under the enslavement of our needs, appetites, and daily wants. Jesus is the summed up of everything we will ever need, want, and desire for, when we seek Him alone, the Will of the Father for us to know them and to do them, we have all that we will ever need to live and impact our generation for God and godliness all in Christ Jesus.
