LIVING IN THE BLESSING

What does it mean to be blessed? It means to be empowered. God has empowered you to prosper; to multiply and be fruitful in all that you do. God's blessing is comprehensive; it is all encompassing. When you are blessed, it touches all areas of your life. He said concerning you, “…Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper” (Psalms 1:3). “Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep…thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and …when thou goest out” (Deuteronomy 28:3-6). God also said in Ezekiel 34:26, “….I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.” That will become your story this season, in the name of Jesus.

Blessing is our heritage in God. That is why we talk about showers of blessing. Genesis 1:27-28 says, “…God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them…” After God created man, the first thing He did was to bless him. God did not curse man, He blessed him. Even though it was only Adam that God created at the beginning, the Bible says, He blessed them, because He knew that Adam would multiply. That is to say, when God was blessing Adam, you were in him. The day you were born into the world is not the day you began, you have been in existence since Adam! That is why God said, “Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee…” (Jer. 1:5). So, when God said to Adam, “You are blessed, be fruitful and multiply”, you were there.

 

If check very well you will see that there is no curse in the first two chapters of the Bible, only blessings. Curses came in chapter three of Genesis, after man fell. So blessing came before curses and that means blessing is stronger than curses. God blessed man and whatsoever God does is forever (Eccl. 3:14). When God blesses, the blessing remains. That is why curses are temporary but blessings are permanent. You have a heritage of blessings; you have been blessed from the foundation of the world. Anything around your life now that looks contrary to blessing came too late. Never you be threatened by challenges, problems, calamities or curses because they came after you have been blessed. Whatever will stop your blessing must be older than God and since there is no such person or circumstance, you are irreversibly blessed

 

If you have been blessed in some areas of your life but you are still experiencing dryness in other areas, it simply means you are yet to come under the showers. But in this season, I see God bringing you under the showers of heaven. You will never know dryness again! Be blessed!
