Galatians 3:13-14 ‘Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ;”
DAILY READING; Acts 24:10-27; Judges 21; Psalm 46
Solomon L. Ginsburg was a famous Baptist missionary to Brazil, who was greatly used by God to impact the world.
However his conversion to Christianity came at a great cost. Solomon had been born to a Jewish Rabbi who had trained him to become a Jewish teacher. When he became born again, it had thrown his family into great turmoil.
The fate of anyone who abandons the Jewish faith is to be excommunicated, disinherited and disowned by the family.
Thereafter, Solomon was called to a meeting of his family members and elders, where he was told to either recant his faith in Christ or he would be cursed and excommunicated. But Solomon told them that he had already counted the cost and was ready to even die for Christ.
One of the elders then proceeded with the ceremony of excommunication by declaring curses over Solomon. He said; “Cursed be he by day, cursed by night; cursed when standing and cursed when lying down; cursed when eating and cursed when drinking…”;
As the elderly man went on reading the curses, Solomon began to despair as he realized he was being cut off from his family, lineage and tribe. But at that moment also, Solomon seemed to see a vision of Christ upon the Cross with outstretched arms. Over the Cross he saw written in plain and shining letters Galatians 3:13, which says: “He redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.”
As his heartbroken uncles wept for him, Solomon’s heart rather was filled with peace and joy. He knew that because of the Blood of Jesus, none of the curses could ever have any effect on him. He left the room that day rejoicing. He was so happy that he did not know when he walked into the arms of a big policeman, who thought he was drunk.
From that day, Solomon served God with even greater fervor. Solomon Ginsburg was used by God to do great exploits internationaly and he became greatly celebrated. He especially became a wonder to his Jewish community, because though they had cursed him, he became more successful, more famous, and more fruitful than any other member of his family.
Indeed no man can curse whom God has blessed.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 says that when you hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord, His blessings shall come upon you, and overtake you.
Obedience to God, places a blessing upon you that is irreversible and irrevocable.
The blessings will override everything and everyone that tries to stop you.
In Numbers 22 Balaam tried severally to curse Israel but realized that he could not curse a people whom the Lord had blessed. :
As a believer today, no evil pronouncement can work against you, because Jesus Christ became a curse for you so that the blessings of Abraham can come upon you. [Gal 3:13.]
No conspiracy from hell can change the blessing of God upon your life. Nothing anyone says or does can remove the blessing. They didn’t give you the blessing and so they can’t take it away.
The Blood of Jesus has placed you above the curses of man and the devil. You have been raised far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion…” (Ephesians 1:21-22).
You are above barrenness! You are above sickness! You are above poverty and every negative thing..
The price for our liberty has been fully paid at the cross! We are now to glorify God in our body by living extraordinary lives on earth..
What you need to become outstanding is deep understanding of God’s Word. Your revelation will transform your reality.
It doesn’t matter where you may be today, all you need to become a wonder is to connect to God’s blessings through your obedience. It is God’s blessings that makes rich. God’s blessing turned Abraham from a struggling wanderer into a trans-generational wonder. It can do the same for you.
Indeed Who you follow determines what follows you. When you follow God His blessings will chase after you.
Therefore as we diligently seek God in this season, surely, His blessings will come upon us and transform us into living wonders.
PRAYER; Father, I thank You for Your irreversible blessings that has come upon my life through the Blood of Jesus. Thank You Lord because even right now You are turning me into a living wonder to my generation in Jesus Name.
