Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure–pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
God wants us to give Him our praise and thanks.
Refer to Ezra 3:10-13 With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the Lord:
“He is good; His love toward Israel endures forever.” And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.
Lay the foundation for your season. Don’t wait til you get the blessing, you need to shout because the foundation has been laid for your victory. Everything you went through is God setting the stage for what God is about to do in your life. Don’t wait on what you know you can have, praise Him for what you already got! Storms come to try your foundation. The whole test is to see if you are grounded. Are you really a Christian? Opposition, prosecution, trials, tribulations and burdens should not stop you from coming to the house and striving for greatness. If you give and don’t receive, check your foundation. You’re next in line for a miracle, but praise Him right now!
When God sees His Nature in you, that is when you will receive the promotion. Get grounded in faith and in His Word. At this moment, you will be promoted from poverty, hurt, mental slavery and corruption. You’ll know you have God’s divine nature comes into your life when you have a soft answer that can turn away wrath. When you turn away from something you used to turn to, you have His divine nature. God created you to reflect Him.
