LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE: “THE BLESSING OF GOD” IS IN TOTALITY [WHOLESOMENESS] – AND\u00a0IT’S\u00a0LIFE GIVING IN BLESSEDNESS!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“THE BLESSING of the LORD MAKES a person\u00a0RICH,\u00a0He ADDS NO SORROW to it<\/i>”\u00a0Proverbs 10:22<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ<\/i>”\u00a0Ephesians 1:3<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The BLESSING of God is the ENABLING and ENDOWED grace bestowed upon the BELIEVERS in Christ, and\u00a0it’s\u00a0firstly SPIRITUAL before it takes a PHYSICAL hold effect\u00a0as a result of\u00a0its operations,\u00a0administrations\u00a0and manifestations. It thus means that THE BLESSING of God is Not MATERIAL Stuff like – Car, Property, Money, precious stones of – silver, gold,\u00a0diamond\u00a0and such like, as some people may do think or suggest. The Physical stuff rots, decays and expires but God’s BLESSEDNESS does not rot,\u00a0decay\u00a0and expire – and\u00a0it’s\u00a0not limited and subjected to and by any human, demonic or natural factors.\u00a0It’s\u00a0a TREASURED enabler of the heavenly for the earthly affairs in humanity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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<\/i>”\u00a0Matthew 6:19-21<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence, having the material gains as CAR, PROPERTY,\u00a0MONEY\u00a0and 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,\u00a0oppressive\u00a0and devilish ways too. Could that be considered as THE BLESSING of God? The answer is NO, NEVER, NOT AT ALL. They are not the BLESSING of God because you\u00a0can’t\u00a0measure God’s BLESSEDNESS from the physical possessions – for a man’s life in BLESSEDNESS does not consist or is measured simply by the abundance of physical things you think you\u00a0possess.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And he said unto them,\u00a0Take\u00a0heed, and beware of COVETOUSNESS: for a MAN\u2019S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he POSSESSETH<\/i>”\u00a0Luke 12:15<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s\u00a0the need to know fully 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 must be noted that in the Kingdom, enrichment is not just about having material acquisition as money, property, car and more as known that makes one rich.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You need to know fully well that RICHES , otherwise depicted as the material gains of this world such as money and other precious material of worth has WINGS –\u00a0 and as they COME to one, they can also GO out of one’s reach, hence you can see many that were once called rich in human perception are now totally bankrupt and needy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Will you SET YOU EYES on that which is not? For RICHES certainly makes themselves WINGS; they fly away like an eagle towards heaven<\/i>”\u00a0Proverbs 23:5<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You need to know that in life and grace, it is only THE BLESSING of God that enriches and\u00a0possess\u00a0the assured enabling to make one ABIDE and ABOUND forever in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It thus\u00a0means,\u00a0you can be EMPOWERED to succeed\u00a0again and again\u00a0no matter what levels of challenges\u00a0are about you even\u00a0as Isaac of Abraham experience with God at famine after been at plenty at a time.\u00a0Genesis 26:1-5, 12-25<\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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 of\u00a0wealth or material acquisitions as many do or think or suggest to then depict it as God’s blessings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Be it known that “THE BLESSING OF GOD” under the OLD TESTAMENT Creation is based on condition [conditionality] with an “IF”. Thus,\u00a0indicating\u00a0you\u00a0have to\u00a0fulfil God’s set work order to earn His BLESSEDNESS – which none could and was found difficult to be\u00a0attained\u00a0in the human depraved state of being then.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And it shall come to pass, IF thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God . . . 9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways . . . 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; IF that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them . . .”<\/i>\u00a0Deuteronomy 28:1-3, 9, 13-14<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike the OLD TESTAMENT Creation, THE BLESSING OF GOD under the NEW TESTAMENT Creation, is based on “FAITH” on the “REDEMPTION WORK OF GRACE” in Christ Jesus stead – which is of a done deed, for all eternity. It does not have an “IF” element neither is it based on condition [conditionality]. For\u00a0it’s\u00a0a BLESSEDNESS based on God’s imputation in RIGHTEOUSNESS and not of man’s work to\u00a0attain\u00a0or to merit of God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ<\/i>”\u00a0Ephesians 1:3<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

THEREFORE, KNOW FULLY WELL THAT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
