Arrogance and pride
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"> name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11">Beloved brothers good morning,
If you are reading this message, consider yourself as blessed for many do not have this privilege, so take advantage of this, for Jehovah is good and do mercy to the meek. Talking about mercy, there are lot of people who wish to receive God’s mercy, but their arrogance block them to get it, because arrogant people are blind in front of the truth, their entire souls are in darkness.
Arrogance and pride are two things people should avoid, for none of them are subject to help someone to receive God’s mercy, but both stop people to be blessed. God’s mercy is not here only for believers, but for anyone who is humble, which is why today, I want you to understand, if you are not blessed in this life, you are the cause, because God never breaks his promises.
Some people think they are too good to believe in the existence of an invisible God, others think God is not fair for different reasons, others blame God for what we usually call natural disasters and the list continues; the obvious thing is, everyone who do not believe in God or decide to follow him as God are arrogant and pride in certain way whether they know it or not.
God has been having patience with the world for thousand of years, He allowed us to live our lives with no interruption, the only thing He keeps doing on a daily basis is telling us in different ways that Jesus is the way the truth and the life, accept him and follow my principles; instead for us to accept this truth, we let proud and arrogance stop us from receiving God’s mercy.
Human as I’m, I know what pride and arrogance are, you should fight to remove these two in your daily lives, for if you let them be part of your lives, I can guarantee you, you will only hear the word mercy, but you will never know what it is. So today with and for love, I suggest you to search for God’s grace, humble yourself, repent and follow Jesus and you will be blessed.

"God’s mercy is not here only for
believers, but for anyone who is humble, which is why today, I want you

The Act of God's mercy (Jesus Christ) is for all willing to accept it. But it does not cover those who do not accept it. For those who reject Christ are doomed to judgment.
By what do you mean blessings? IF you are talking about blessings such as those that come from the Spirit (Joy, Love, Peace, Patience, etc) then, yes, it is quite often ourselves that are the problem.
If by material gain-- I disagree. There is a gospel going around that says that God blesses his followers and makes them wealthy. It attempts to twist promises in the gospel made to the Apostles into saying that as long as we ask God in the Name of Christ, we can have anything we want. This is a false gospel that should be shunned as evil.
The follower of Christ is only guaranteed to receive hardship on this earth. Persecution from his friends, and from his family.
So make no mistake, the "blessings" that God has instore for us are far greater than that of which the world has to offer.... but many short-sighted Christians have set their desire on earthly things and twist scripture to mean that he blesses with material gain--- while SOMETIMES he does.... that is not God's promise.
