Hi everyone,
I wrote on the part 1 of Blessings and Gratitude where I said despite being blessed by God with all spiritual blessings, what seems to stand in our way from receiving these blessings are fear, worry, doubt and unbelief prevents us from
right receiving, because they cause wrong believing, and we don't see the fulness of Christ [which contains the blessings of God] manifest in our lives properly. But as we are always grateful to God for what He has given to us, we receive more strength of faith as our focus in our Christ, and in so doing we start receiving much better than before, and we would see the fulness of Christ with the blessings made manifested in our lives.
Today, I want to take a look at what we do when we are blessed. As we receive the blessings of God, whether in health, wealth, fruit of the Spirit, physical prosperity, we sometimes complain over certain circumstances, maybe, some things don't go as we expect. What we don't know is that our complains open the door for us to be deceived by the devil, as he could tell we are not healed, when we are healed (using health as an instance).
But what should we do instead of complaining?
In place of complaining, start blessing! For everything God has given you, bless it. Speak the word of God's blessings to it, from your health, to TV, car, kids, spouse, house, chair, just anything. When you get a thing, bless it for its arrival. When it keeps functioning, bless it because its functioning, when it has seen better days, bless it, because it served you well. When it's your health, speak the blessing of life to it. Speak God's word over everything, because God's word is life, and He has given you Himself, so as you speak, let Him come out of your mouth, because His words are blessings, and blessing is life.
By blessing things, you are being grateful to God for what He has given you and you are holding on to His word in Hebrews 13:5, which says, "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” The Amplified version says, "Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] [Josh. 1:5.]" Hebrews 13:5 AMPC.
The Lord will never leave you, will never fail you, will never leave you without support. To declare blessings to the things God has given you, which is basically everything that has a connection to you, is being grateful to God. It is a way to release the supernatural into your life; the fulness of God being released physically into your life, because your soul has found its rest in Christ Jesus, and the lies of the devil cannot hold any longer.
Never fail to give to be a blessing, and never fail to always be grateful to God, and see Him manifest in your life in all you do.
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!
