THE BLESSING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22).
What sets you apart in life isn’t your education, family background, or connections; it’s the blessing of the Lord. The blessing of the Lord is a spiritual force that produces undeniable results. It is empowerment for success, fruitfulness and increase. And as a child of God, you carry this blessing.
Psalm 1:3 gives a description of the one who’s blessed of the Lord: “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Glory to God! When God blessed Abraham, He empowered him to prosper and influence nations; and Galatians 3:9 declares, “…they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.” That includes you.
The blessing works beyond logic, human comprehension and understanding. It’s what made Isaac prosper during famine: “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” (Genesis 26:12-14). The blessing was what made Jacob to prevail with Laban despite Laban’s treachery (Genesis 29:21-31; Genesis 30:25-43).
It was the blessing that made a slave like Joseph become a Prime Minister in Egypt. The blessing doesn’t rely on favourable conditions; it creates them. It causes you to succeed in spite of opposition and adversities, and shine in the darkest places. This is your life now that you’re born again; you’re already blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).
Walk in the consciousness that you’re the blessed of the Lord. Acknowledge it. Speak it. Declare every so often that you’re blessed. The blessing isn’t a vague idea; it is tangible. It manifests in health, wisdom, favour, open doors, and supernatural supply. It attracts help, provision and promotion.
You’re not governed by the economy, policies, and systems of this world. You live under the government of Heaven, in the fullness of the blessings of Christ. That’s your advantage. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for blessing me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The blessing is my advantage, producing increase, health, wisdom and divine favours; I function in supernatural advantage and walk in prosperity with peace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
