You are blessed

A long time ago, there lived a very great man. He was very powerful in words. Whatever he says come to pass. Whoever this man blesses remain blessed. Whoever this man also curse, remain cursed. He was well-known. There also lived a king in a far away land. There was a particular tribe he was jealous of. This tribe was growing rapidly but his own people were not. Then he heard about the man who was powerful in words and sent messengers to him to come curse the tribe he was jealous of. This man consulted with his source of power and he was told not to go. He told the messengers that he wouldn't be going with them.

The messengers returned to the king and delivered the man's message. The king sent more messengers and each time, this man consulted with his source of power but wasn't allowed to go. The king sent princes to tell him that he would be promoted to a very great position if only he could come over to curse the tribe he was jealous of but yet, this man said he would not go against the words of his source of power. He told the princes to sleep over night and he would know what to do the following morning.

He consulted with his source of power again and went with the princes. His source of power became angry and sent to kill him in the way. On his way, he was blinded by covetousness that he didn't see the messenger of death. The horse he was riding saw it and stopped. This man became annoyed that he began to whip the horse he loved. This man's eyes was eventually opened and he saw death in front of him. He began to beg for pardon. The messenger told him to follow the princes but he should only speak the words that will be put in his mouth.

When they got to the king's palace, the king brought out the objects of sacrifices and the sacrifice was made. Thereafter, he proceeded to curse the tribe. His source of power put the following words in his mouth;

" the king called me from my home to this place to curse these people and whatever is put in my mouth will I speak. How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? Or how shall I speak evil of whom God has blessed? Therefore, these people are blessed. No nation will be able to stand before them. They will prosper and continue to increase."

The king got angry and told him to stop. He inquired why he was doing the opposite of what he was supposed to do. The man replied that he can only speak the words put in his mouth and not by his own power can he say anything. The king took him to another side of the place where the people were staying and told him to curse them. He opened his mouth and said;

" There is no evil seen in these people therefore, they are continually blessed. They will know no sorrow. They will know no lack, no loss and no limitations. Blessed are those who bless you and cursed are those who curse you."

The king stopped him the second time and told him to neither curse them not bless them at all.

Who is he that says a thing and it comes to pass when God has not commanded it? Whatever we might have gone through this year, the devil is a lair. Everything that God created is blessed. Therefore, for the rest of our lives, we shall remain blessed. The mighty hand of the Lord will be upon us. He will shield and protect us. It is well with our soul, spirit and body. Anyone anywhere that is trying to tamper with the plans of God for our lives, may their thoughts never be established in our lives. EMMANUEL.

The story continues tomorrow...
