The Concept of Inclusion

Inclusion is a spiritual concept that means God has included you in His plan for the future. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). When God includes you, He makes provision for you, because He is your Father—and as a Father, He provides everything you need per time (Matthew 6:32–33).

This “inclusion” is really a substitution: you are placed into Christ. “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). So, when God looks at you, He doesn’t see your flaws—He sees Jesus, His Son (2 Corinthians 5:21).

From the beginning, God’s plan for Adam was inclusion. Adam was meant to live in Eden, work there, fellowship with God, and receive all provision directly from Him (Genesis 2:15–16). But after the fall, humanity was separated from that plan (Romans 5:12). Man had to consciously seek God and desire to be included in His agenda again.

The death of Jesus changed everything. When Jesus died for our sins, He opened the way for mankind to regain direct access to God. “For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father” (Ephesians 2:18). Through His sacrifice, we moved from living under the law to living in Christ through faith (Galatians 2:20–21). By faith, we can draw from the spiritual wells God has provided:

• the well of salvation (Isaiah 12:3)
• the well of healing (1 Peter 2:24)
• the well of strength (Isaiah 40:29–31)

To live in the supernatural, you must first understand that inclusion is God’s agenda for you—a call to belong to Zion. “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem” (Hebrews 12:22). Everyone longs to belong somewhere, but true belonging is in God’s plan for heaven’s future (Philippians 3:20). The Holy Spirit plays a melody in your spirit—have you listened and danced to it? “As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Romans 8:14).

Remember: You are included in heaven’s agenda. But to fully experience it, you must take intentional steps toward God, the Author and Finisher of all things.

An Awakening to Purpose

There is a fire being stirred up. The flame is being reignited, and an awakening is taking place. God is raising a new breed of people, awakening them to what He has called them to do in the marketplace.

Have you ever asked yourself what role you are to play in this grand plan called life on earth? This life is only a preparation for what the Lord has prepared for us in heaven. But how can we know our role if we do not truly know who we are?

One of Satan’s strategies is what I call the blindfold. He blinds people from seeing the truth of who they are, what they can become, and who they carry. For those going through challenges, he makes them think that whatever they are going through has nothing to do with him. Many of the challenges we face are Satan masquerading behind science, traditions
and offering convincing and logical explanations, so that blinded believers fail to see his hand in it.

But there is an awakening happening. God is raising men and women with the sight of an eagle and the wisdom of a serpent, those who will be able to sense his tactics from a distance and run after him with a force, those who will take nations, and stand the test of time—winning the earth for Jesus. This awakening is no respecter of age, denomination, color, or possessions. It is for those whom God has been grooming for such a time as this. The alarm has been sounded, and these people are rising.

So I ask you, friend: have you realized that you are part of them? Have you recognized that you are important in God’s plan for the earth? With your presence, heaven becomes an even more glorious place.

Therefore, I implore you: take time to explore the Lord and discover your place. As Scripture says, “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.”

The Pressure is for a reason.

 

With my mouth will I make it known:

From the rising of the sun to its going down,
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord.

It is by His mercies that we have not been consumed. If it were left to the enemy, we would have been destroyed. It displeases him to watch us walk in our God-ordained purpose. That is why he keeps pressing—seeking to make us fail. His mission is clear: to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Yet, what he does not realize is that God allows pressure for a divine reason.

Just as in pottery, the more the pressure applied, the stronger and finer the clay becomes. In the same way, when life presses us, God is waiting for us to run to him. He is building in us the strength to carry what He longs to pour out. These blessings may manifest in our careers, academics, businesses, families, and relationships.

Each of us is a unique dimension of God that He desires to reveal to the world. Yet, in moments of trial, we often forget our true identity. Scripture declares in Psalm 82:6: “I said, ‘You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High.’”

God continually reminds us of our position in Him. But when we fail to recognize this, we fall into the enemy’s deception, embracing lies that lead us into darkness and instability.

It is time to return to God—acknowledging that we cannot help ourselves. We were never created to do life on our own strength, but by His grace. Until we truly understand who we are in Him, the light we think we enjoy may in fact be darkness. Only one Light has the power to illuminate our lives: Jesus Christ. When He comes, He quenches the darkness, silences the chaos, and brings peace, serenity, hope, and faith.

By faith, we draw from His presence, and step by step, we come into the full knowledge of our divine mandate. Then we realize: the troubles of life were never meant to destroy us, but to awaken within us a deeper cry for more—more than what the eyes can see.

THE WEIGHT OF THE BLESSING

Hey, The Blessing,

I listened to a message recently, and when the minister prayed for a certain woman, she said, “May the Lord give you the capacity to bear the blessing.” Of all the powerful words spoken, that line stuck with me: “May the Lord give us the capacity to bear the weight of the blessing.”

For every blessing, there is a weight attached—constraints, consecration, discipline, sacrifice, daily dying to self. And still, we are blessed. We are the blessing.

I had to call us the blessing so we don’t forget. It’s easy to look in the mirror and forget the image we saw. It’s easy to hear God call us into blessings, but harder to accept that He has renamed us as the personification of blessing. So, I affirm today: I am the blessing.

Because I am the blessing, I posture myself to sustain the blessings I have entered into. If God gives me the marriage I’ve prayed for, I must seek Him for the guidelines to keep it a blessing—not a burden. If the land God gave to the Israelites could later become a place of bondage, then it makes sense that He gave them the Book of the Law. In God, there is order.

 Yes, we live in grace, but grace still calls for posture—one that proves we don’t take His blessings for granted. If I’ve received the business I prayed for, I must still learn the principles to build and sustain it. If God gives children, He also gives instruction: “Train up a child in the way they should go.”Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)  

God's children needs to be trained in the way they should go.

God said to me in worship today, the relationship I have brought your way isn't for you to leave everything and build your life on it but you can weild it and allow me build you through it.

Blessings often come as seeds. Satan tried to corrupt the seed God brought to earth—and he’s still looking for whom to devour. God’s strategy for us is vigilance. The enemy wants your blessings—will you build a defense, or let him steal, kill, and destroy?

He’s not just after the marriage, the business, the children, the family, the career—he’s after you. But you can boldly say, “No place for you here.”

Don’t forget—you are The Blessing.
