God has not called us into salvation without blessings. God has laid up provisions for every believer to be blessed. The first principle of obtaining the blessings of God is the principle of separation and consecration. Lack of consecration can be the reason a believer may not be able to receive the blessings of God. The type of people you relate with can hinder you from operating in God’s blessings. Associations and circles of people you move with can destroy you, and that can hinder you from obtaining the blessings of God.
If separation can cause the blessings of God, then lack of separation can also cause the curse of God. Disobedience to every instruction of God has consequences. Separation can be a determining factor for whether a man would receive the blessings of God or not. God can tell you to leave something to bless you, though letting go may not be easy. People take instructions emotionally and God is not interested in your emotions but in your obedience.
You can be very devoted to the things of God and still miss out on His blessing because of separation. There is a level of separation that you have to deal with to receive the blessings of God. The condition for obtaining the blessings of God is to separate yourself. When we are separated we are not just separated from idleness, but also for the consecration, the pathway to reviving the blessing of God is not by our intellectual capacity. Consecration is weightless without separation, if you want to be blessed by God, you must brood over His words because His blessings are for all believers. The pattern for internalizing the word of God is to process and produce the blessings so as not to lose in the blessings of God.
Our mind must be conditioned to God’s word. We will receive the blessings of God when we meditate on His word day and night. We must give ourselves to study, internalizing and acting on God’s word. The pattern has been set. Separate, esteem things of the spirit. Kingdom pursuit. We separate ourselves into the kingdom of God. Meditating on the word of God and being intentional about doing the will of God is important.
Regardless of all we do, if we do not separate and consecrate ourselves into the things of the kingdom we will suffer the consequences and may not obtain the blessings of God.
