You’re The Blessed Of The Lord .
Saturday, August 20th .
Pastor Chris
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ
(Ephesians 1:3).
Notice the construction above; the Apostle Paul
wasn’t praying or making entreaties or begging God for spiritual
blessings, no! It’s an energetic outburst of luxuriant, profuse, and
exuberant worship. He glorifies the Lord who has blessed us with all
spiritual blessings in the heavenly realms. He had the mentality that he
was already blessed with all spiritual blessings that exist, and became
poetic in praise. This should be your testimony!
Be full of
praise to God because there’s nothing you don’t have, and there’s
nothing you can’t do! You’ve been endowed spiritually with all things,
and for all things. Why did Paul use the phrase “spiritual blessings?”
It’s because if you have the spiritual blessings, then you have all
earthly blessings, because the spiritual gives birth to the physical.
The lesser is included in the greater.
This world came from the
spirit realm. The Bible says in the beginning, God created the heaven
and the earth (Genesis 1:1). God is a Spirit; so, the spirit-world
pre-existed the physical world. Therefore, the spiritual blessings are
greater than the physical blessings, because they’re the ones that give
rise to the physical blessings. So, there’s no need to beg God to bless
you; instead, become exuberant with Him in praise for already blessing
you with all spiritual blessings.
He’s given you all things (1
Corinthians 3:21), and made you a partaker of His divine nature (2 Peter
1:4). He’s made you sufficient in His sufficiency; to be fruitful and
productive in every good work. He’s given you His Spirit to lead and
guide you in wisdom to fulfil your destiny in Him and be all that He’s
ordained you to be. This should be your thinking, testimony, and
worship.
Learn to say, “Blessed be God, who has blessed me in
all things, and made me the testimony of His glory and revelation of His
grace and righteousness.” You’re the blessed of the Lord, and not only
that, you’re also the conveyor and vent of His blessings.
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I worship and extol your Majesty today, for
you’ve blessed me with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly realms in
Christ. I’m conscious that I’m the conveyor of your blessings,
imparting my generation with the blessings of your Kingdom, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
Further Study: || Galatians 3:7-9 Know ye therefore
that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through
faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, [saying], In thee shall
all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed
with faithful Abraham. ||
|| 2 Peter 1:3 According as his divine
power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue: ||
|| 1 Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or
railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are
thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. ||
