You’re The Blessed Of The Lord
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 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 gives 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 fulfill 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 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 the vent of his blessings.
Prayer
Dear heavenly father, I worship
and extol your Majesty today, for you’ve 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.
