God Can! Pastor Nkechi Ene In this article, I will be showing you some keys to receiving the blessings that are yours as a child of God. Realise that God is more eager and ready to bless you than you can ever be. There are different ways to tap into all that God has kept in store for you. This is because God can do everything He has said and even more than you can ever imagine.

God is waiting to bless you, all you need to do is to believe that God can! Our relationship with God is the same as that of a father and a child. As a father, how about you telling your son that you will send him to the most expensive school of his choice, all expense paid, and all he needs to do is to go and get the admission form? However, for some reason, which you as a father may not understand, your son does not believe you can do as you have said.

That is the way a lot of Christians are with God. They just do not believe that God is able to do all the wonderful and good things that He promised that He would do. As believers we are not to limit Him with our doubts so that we will not settle for less than the best which is what God has prepared for us. In this article, I will share some of the things you can do to be able to enjoy all that God Has prepared for you, His child and if you are not born again, you can become one today.

Dare To Believe Faith is a topic that cannot be over emphasized. I’ve preached faith concerning conception and childbirth, but

some Christians still believe that they can never have children. Some believe that they have been sentenced to a life of barrenness. However, God is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. The Bible says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). Your Father owns the universe and all that is within it. Meanwhile, you may have been a Christian for many years and you still lack in some areas of your life. Something is wrong and it is not with God. It is simply that you do not believe that God can. I tell you for those who can believe as they read this article, they will experience a miracle. Dare to believe that Word that God has spoken to you and you will experience a miracle.

Be Bold God is not happy with the inability of some Christians to believe in Him. He is tired of His children compromising and not being able to enter their rest simply because they do not believe. As a Christian, if you believe, then you will be as bold as a lion, because the Bible says, “The righteous are as bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1). People will scorn you but do you believe? When you believe, you will be bold and people will not scorn you anymore. You have to be bold enough to receive your Father’s inheritance; you have to be bold to receive what belongs to you. Why would a son doubt his father’s ability to give him anything when his father is very rich? It is not abnormal to expect such; so just believe and be bold!

Prepare Yourself Imagine a vast wasteland, a barren land with large stones,

thorns, twigs, etc. Then, God tells you that He is going to turn that vast wasteland into a fruitful land. Now, what are the things you need to do, if you are a farmer, in preparation to turning that barren land into a fruitful land? First of all, you will get a strong stick and remove all the stones.

When you are done with that, you can get a rake and remove all the rubbish. For you to prepare yourself to receive God’s Word you have to remove all the unbelief, all the doubt, and clear out all the compromise. Clear it all and burn them in \ire, never to be found again. That is the \irst thing you do.

Get rid of all those your friends who won’t help you believe that God can do something in your life, who won’t help you believe that you can give birth. Maybe you are married and you are a Christian but your husband is an unbeliever and all he speaks to you are words of doubt, you must know how to clear these words from your heart. When they enter your heart, make sure you remove them far from you.

Remove all that doubt, remove unbelief, and remove all the things that feed that doubt and unbelief.

The next thing you do after clearing your heart is to till it. Dig up the ground, break up the clumps of soil, and then pour water. If you do not do these after you have cleared up the ground, if you leave it that way, weeds will grow. Till the grounds of your heart and water it with the Word of God. Go to church as often as possible; listen to words of faith, read your Bible and pray regularly. Break up that land so that the weeds cannot grow in it again. When the land is broken up, the weeds cannot grow. Pour the water of God’s Word on your thirsty heart; the water of healing and health, and the water that will get you to conceive and deliver your miracle babies.

Sow Your Seed The next thing you do is to plant seeds. When seeds are growing, there will not be any room for weeds to grow.

You have broken up the ground; you have made the ground soft; now sow your seeds. Use your God-given gifts for free. When you do that, you are sowing seeds.

some children for free. When you hear that a sister has given birth to a baby, cook a delicious meal and take it to her.

Be the \irst person by her bedside. Offer to baby-sit so that she has time to sleep or do something else.

It is not enough for you to sow your seed. You must maintain the seed that you have sown. The ways to maintain your seed are with your confession and prayer. Maybe, you have prepared meals for every sister in church who you know had a baby but nothing much has happened. Maybe, you complain in your secret place, blaming God for your barrenness or making excuses like the possibility of barrenness running in your family because your cousin or aunt did not have a child. Therefore, your confession will not match with your action or your seed. God can change every Christian’s situation, but not every Christian will experience God changing their situation. This is because many Christians do not have what it takes for them to see that God can do anything.

Speak Right The Bible says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18:21). You can either kill those seeds you have sown or you can give life to them with your tongue. Speak right! Thank God in anticipation of your desired harvest. When you do this, you are maintaining your seed and the plant is growing and is being nourished by the words of your mouth.

Then, just what every diligent farmer expects happens - you receive a harvest. Suddenly, you realise that your period is late by two weeks. Then it dawns on you that your seeds have reached maturity and the time for your harvest has come. Glory be to God! Have you waited for so long? Continue to hold on to Him because God can. Your seed is growing; your harvest time has come; surely you will experience it. Dare to believe God; dare to walk hand in hand with him, dare Him to turn that wasteland to a fertile ground. Take your spouse’s hand and declare, “Our harvest is coming because God can”. Where there has been darkness, God is bringing in light. Where there has been bareness, God is bringing in fertility. Where there has been confusion, God is bringing in direction.

Where there has been chaos, God is bringing in peace. He is able to do so simply because He is willing and He can.

Hallelujah!
