Never Equate your worldly Success to Blessings OR worldly Failure to your Curses. Because, Blessings and Curses are Spiritual, Supernatural; they can Neither be Bought, Nor Sold. Obedience to GOD brings in Blessings [Deuteronomy 28.1-14]. Disobedience to GOD brings in Curses [Deuteronomy 28.15-68]. Jacob had: gold, silver, wives, children, servants, cattle,. but yet he had to wrestle all night with GOD to be Blessed [Genesis 32.24-26]. John the Baptist Lived in wilderness, Wore camel skin, Ate locust and honey, Preached GOD's Word, Baptizing the Repented people and he was Beheaded to Death; Jesus said of all men born of women no one is Greater than John [Matthew 11.11]. Virgin Mary became Pregnant without being married; what a Disgrace but GOD said she was Blessed [Luke 1.42]. So, Know, Understand the Difference. Obey GOD/BIBLE. Truth. Wisdom. Choice. Share.
