A Prayer to Activate God’s Blessings
God blessed them and said to them,
– Be fruitful = be productive
– Multiply = increase
– Replenish = fill and restore
– Subdue = rule, bind and loose
They had the power to rule over the earth because they had the blessing! This blessing can be stolen!
Ill. Remember Jacob and Esau? Esau had the blessing but did not appreciate it. His twin brother deceived him into giving the blessing to Jacob. Later Esau felt robbed!
In the same way Satan, a fallen angel came to earth to meet Adam and Eve. What was he after? We know he came to steal something Adam and Eve had. The blessing – the power to rule the earth.
– Be fruitful = be productive, successful
– Multiply = increase, make disciples
– Replenish = fill and restore with God’s Presence
– Subdue = rule and have dominion
You know what happened. By deception he stole their blessing.
Now the blessing was in Satan’s power!
