God is about to release His hundredfold blessing on His people. As my
precious partner and friend I wish to share this revelation that the
Lord has given to you first. He said, “Tell my people the hundredfold
blessing doesn’t come to those who just claim it, but to those who are
willing to pay the price.”
Are you ready to pay the price? I am ready, how about you?
God’s hundredfold blessing is not just 100 times as people think. It is
God’s best, on a continual basis – never stopping. It is like a harvest
from an orchard of apples, oranges or mangoes. It has a continual flow
of fruit season after season. It just doesn’t stop at hundred fruits.
This is God’s plan and desire for us His people, so we can fulfill His
plan on the earth.
The harvest is depended on the crop sown by the farmer. If the farmer
doesn’t sow, he will not have a harvest or a return. Even so the
hundredfold blessing is depended on us.
Our Lord Jesus taught a radically different concept regarding the wealth
of this world. The world’s concept is the accumulation of wealth and
money. But our Lord taught the way to His blessings is to give. That is
why… “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35) Giving
truly opens the door to God’s blessings to flow into our lives. Our Lord
said, “Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down,
and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that you measure it shall be measured to you
again.” (Luke 6:38)

Putting the Gospel First
Peter and the disciples had left everything for the gospels sake, and
Peter asked our Lord, “Lord, we have left all, and have followed you.”
And Jesus answered and said, "Truly I say to you, there is no man who has
left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or
children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel’s,
But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and
brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with
persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life.” (Mark 10:28-30)
Here is the secret our Lord is revealing to His people to walk in His
hundredfold blessing. Now is the time for us to obey. Are we willing to
put God’s priorities above ours? Are we willing to give up for the
gospel’s sake? Our hundredfold blessing is not a reward we will get
someday. Verse 30 declares, “now in this time.”
Many children of God today sadly miss out on God’s best, because they
limit their giving to only the Tithe to their local Church. We must go
beyond the Tithe and give generous offerings sacrificially, to the
preaching of the gospel around the nations for the salvation of souls.
It is then we will receive His hundredfold blessings. God is calling us
to the un-evangelized nations of the world. That is His main interest
right now. “And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the
world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew
24:14)
When we get into His plan then we open ourselves to His best. Many times
we have to leave our families behind to preach the gospel. But God has
promised us, that what ever we give up for His sake and the gospel’s, we
will receive a hundredfold in this time and in the world to come
everlasting life.

Laying up Treasures in Heaven
In
Matthew 6:20 our Lord said, “But lay up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where neither moth or rust can corrupt, and where thieves cannot
break through or steal.”
When we give up things for the gospel, we are laying treasures in
Heaven. We decided to sell whatever we can and live on the minimum, so
we can preach the gospel. Mark 10:30 declares that we will have the
hundredfold blessing in Heaven as well.
-
Persecution
Mark 10:30 also declares, that we will have the hundredfold blessing
with persecutions. Many of us in the body of Christ are surprised when
persecutions come. Today here in Sri Lanka and abroad many are dying for
the gospel. The majority of the disciples of our Lord died for the
gospel. We must expect persecutions as a part of the hundredfold
blessing of God.
Suffering persecution brings us great blessings that many don’t know.

Peter 5:10 says, “And after you have suffered a while, the God of all
grace [who imparts all blessing and favor], who has called you to His
[own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you
what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen,
and settle you.”
What glorious blessings! Many children of God ask, “Lord, why am I going
through this suffering?” This is the reason why. Many ask me why hasn’t
God answered this question yet? I said, God has already given us the
answer in His word, He’s already answered it.

Sowing in Famine
Are you facing a famine? A famine is a crisis. When you face a loss of
income, have unpaid bills, debts, losses etc and there is no answer or
way to solve them. The get ready for God is giving you another
opportunity to receive a hundredfold blessing.
In Genesis 26, we see Isaac, Abraham’s promised son facing a famine.
“And there was a famine in the land…(Genesis 26:1). God gave him the
direction he needed. God asks him to stay and sow during the famine.
Just the very opposite what man would think. Isaac obeys God and reaps
the hundredfold blessing. Genesis 26:12-13 says, “Then Isaac sowed seed
in that land and received in the same year a hundredfold as much as he
had planted, and the Lord favored him with blessings, and the man became
great, gained more and more until he became very wealthy and
distinguished.”
Now that’s a hundredfold blessing. It is much more than a hundred times.
This was God’s best for Isaac. But Isaac had to pay the price. He also
received it the same year. It didn’t take many years. Just in the same
year he reaped God’s hundredfold blessings. This is why God sends a
famine to His children, and many are not aware of God’s desire to give
them the hundredfold blessing in just the same year. Many don’t realize
that it is sowing time. Many cut down on their giving, even their
Tithing and this is the greatest mistake anyone can do. When a person
stops tithing and sowing, he closes the windows of heaven and stops the
flow of every blessing from God. This is the most dangerous place to be
in. This is Satan’s number one strategy to keep them from receiving
God’s hundredfold blessing. Withholding ends in poverty (Proverbs
11:24,25). We need to heed King Solomon’s wisdom.
Yes we need to cut down on other things.
What we did in our famine time was we sold up even necessary things and
sowed. We decided to live on the very basic needs. We even took a house
¼ of the value of our usual rent. God gave us such wisdom that we were
surprised that we had given more to God during our famine than ever
before.
The unbelievers envied Isaac because of God’s hundredfold blessing, and
so it will be with us, if we pay the price. “He owned flocks, and a
great supply of servants, and the Philistines envied him” (Genesis
26:14)

Overcome Satan's barriers Fear, doubt, unbelief and disobedience are
Satan's most effective
barriers that hinder many from going forward in the plans and ways of
God. Overcome them and receive God’s best. God always keeps His promise.
It is through difficult times that God moves us forward. As we face the
challenges ahead, God is with us and will help us overcome every barrier
in our path. He is our mighty conqueror and deliverer, mighty in battle.
