Everyone loves to be blessed, this is because blessings as a whole are positive. Blessings indicates favour, increase, protection, prosperity, success and growth. Blessings are always longed for, but the blessings of God are over longed for.
Looking at blessings, it indicates life, because all the attributes of blessings cannot exist if life isn't within them, and Jesus is the Life, (ref. John 14:6).
Every Son and Daughter of God has received the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ which implies that our words should be seasoned with salt, (ref. Colossians 4:6), full of Grace and blessing.
As we have been blessed of the Lord, one thing that is paramount is gratitude, being grateful to God for His provision. This way we are showing our appreciation to God for always being there for us. Our intention for being grateful to God shouldn't be to get more. However, the act of being grateful to God causes doors to open in the receiving of more of His blessing which He has already bestowed on us.
We cannot be given more blessings, but we can receive more blessings, allow me to explain. Ephesians 1:3 says, God has blessed us with every spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. What this means is that just the way we have been saved by grace, received a brand new life by grace, and all that Christ Jesus is, is who we have become by grace because we now have His Spirit, which implies that the highest form of blessings that is contained in the fulness of Christ had been given to us the moment we became born again. This is part of the package of being born again.
All that we would ever need in this life and beyond has been given to us. All we need to do is to receive it by faith. But because our soul is still being renewed, we haven't been able to harness the full potential of the fulness of Christ in the physical realm, and this is because of fear, worry, unbelief, and doubt. And to crown it all up, our soul has not found complete rest in its entirety in Christ. So, we cannot receive properly because we have limited ourselves with these interruptions.
But as we continue to be grateful for what God has given to us in Christ Jesus, both seen and unseen, we are building and boosting our faith in Him, and finding rest in Him, and in so doing, we allow more flow of the blessings God has already given us, thus we are receiving better.
And remember, we must always be grateful to the Lord God for His blessings.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
