LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE: THE BLESSING OF GOD IS WHOLESOME – AND IT’S LIFE GIVING!
“THE BLESSING of the LORD MAKES a person RICH, He ADDS NO SORROW to it” (Proverbs 10:22).
The BLESSING of God is the ENABLING and ENDOWED grace bestowed upon the BELIEVERS’ in Christ, and it’s firstly SPIRITUAL before it takes a PHYSICAL hold effect as a result of its operations, administrations and manifestations. It thus means that THE BLESSING of God is Not MATERIAL Stuff as – Car, Property, Money, precious stones of – silver, gold, diamond and such like, as some people may do think or suggest. The Physical stuff rots, decays and expires but God’s BLESSEDNESS does not rot, decay and expire – and it’s not limited and subjected by any human, demonic or natural factors. It’s a TREASURED enabler of the heavenly for the earthly affairs in humanity.
“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.
“Do not LAY UP for yourselves TREASURES on earth, where MOTH and RUST destroy and where THIEVES break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in heaven, where neither MOTH nor RUST destroys and where THIEVES do not break in and steal. 21 For where your TREASURE is, there your HEART will be also” Matthew 6:19-21.
Hence, having the material gains as CAR, PROPERTY, MONEY and MORE is/are the results of THE BLESSING of God but not THE BLESSING of God itself. However, there are lots of people that have obtained all these mentioned material stuff through illicit, wicked, oppressive and devilish ways too. Could that be considered as THE BLESSING of God? The answer is NO, NEVER, NOT AT ALL. There are not the BLESSING of God because you can’t measure God’s BLESSEDNESS from the physical possessions – for a man’s life in BLESSEDNESS does not consist or measured simply on the abundance of physical things you think you possess.
“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of COVETOUSNESS: for a MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he POSSESSETH” Luke 12:15.
There’s the need to know full that – to ‘BEING BLESSED OF GOD’ simply means to being EMPOWERED to – SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, CREATE, INITIATE, EXPLORE, GET and such like. For it’s THE BLESSING of God that makes one enriched in the kingdom and thus also sustains that enrichment of BLESSEDNESS; and it most be noted that in the Kingdom, enrichment it’s not just about having material acquisition as money, property, car and more as known that makes one rich.
You need to know full well that RICHES, otherwise depicted as the material gains of this world such as money and other precious material of worth has WINGS – and they COMES to one, they can also GOES out of one’s reach, hence you can see many that were once called rich in human perception are now totally bankrupt and needy.
“Will you SET YOU EYES on that which is not? For RICHES certainly makes themselves WINGS; they fly away like an eagle towards heaven” Proverbs 23:5.
You need to know that in life and grace, it is only THE BLESSING of God that enriches and possess the assured enabling make one to ABIDE and ABOUND forever in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It thus means, you can be EMPOWERED to succeed again and again no matter what levels of challenges are about you even as Isaac of Abraham experience with God at famine after been at plenty at a time. Genesis 26:1-5, 12-25.
So if you must crave and pursue anything in Life and Godliness, then crave and pursue for God’s given BLESSEDNESS, that is acronym – THE BLESSING of God – and build your life on God’s given BLESSEDNESS which will eventually enrich you wholly and not just a pursuits on wealth or material acquisitions as many do or think or suggest to then depict it as God’s blessings.
THEREFORE KNOW FULL WELL THAT:
** THE BLESSING OF GOD is wholesome, complete, fulfilling, peaceful, all embracing and not limited to just things physical only but the total being of man – spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Luke 2:52).
** THE BLESSING OF GOD empowers, gives enabling, rights, privileges and creates enrichment and fulfilment (Deuteronomy 8:18).
** And You are BLESSED with THE BLESSING OF GOD as a possession already (Ephesians 1:3/2 Peter 1:2-4), and it can be made tangible today by FAITH – acting on THE WORD accordingly as you BELIEVE.
Henceforth, I say to you, live on God’s gracious BLESSEDNESS and all other things will come together timely. I pray that THE BLESSINGS of God be your vehicle of enrichment in Christ Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
