YOUR BLESSING IS A DONE DEAL
Mark 10: 16" And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them."
The word 'blessed' is the Greek word 'eulogeo' which means to speak well of, to invoke a benediction upon,to prosper,to praise. Therefore, to be blessed means to be well spoken of and praised by God because of His love for us (Job2:3). Nobody can bring a charge against you before God ( Rom.8:33).
Whenever a man is in love with a woman, he becomes blind to her flaws; that's how it is between the born again christian and the heavenly Father, the scriptures says in John 3:16-17" For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." God isn't excited about the prospect of those who have rejected his love in Jesus Christ, the scriptures says such a person is already condemned and it is by their choice.The scriptures says in Mark 16:15 -16" And he said unto them,... He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." it is the deliberate rejection of the saving grace of Jesus Christ that brings about condemnation and this is what it means to be cursed .There is no middle ground between a blessed life and being under a curse. It is like being alive or dead, there's no in-between situation , a person is either dead or alive likewise you are either blessed or cursed. A person can't be partially blessed or cursed (James3:11)
Neglecting Christ is a rejection of God’s blessings for humanity because Jesus Christ embodies all of God’s goodness ,the scriptures says in Col.2: 9 "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." therefore when we received Jesus Christ , we received all of God’s goodness, there are no bad parts in God therefore it is an abomination to think or even say that a born again christian is cursed simply because they are going through a difficulties.
God isn't hoping to bless us after we have cried,groaned,fasted, prayed and done restitution: the tense always used to describe the word 'blessed' in the new testament is in the past tense. What this means is that it is a process that took place before we were born . Actually, it is the answer to the prayers made by Jesus for us before His crucifixion in John 17:20 -21"...That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us:..." this was a prayer for our blessing with the same blessing the Father gave Jesus.
The stage for our blessing was set over 2000years ago, we simply accepted what has already been prepared in Christ. The born again Christian was given the same blessing the Father gave Christ. The scriptures says in Ephesians 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:" what this means is that right now wherever you are, you have received every imaginable blessing that exists as long as you have received Jesus Christ . The new testament church isn't like the old testament folks that needed Moses' blessings in other to make a headway in life. Our case is completely different. Our blessing is by default, it is automatic. Whatever blessings you think you may need for any of life's adventure already exist in you, all that is needed is for you to daily acknowledge God's blessing upon you and give him thanks as the scriptures says in Ephesians 1:3.
Instead of seeking for a human being to bless you simply meditate on the scriptures and declare " heavenly Father, I thank you for blessing me with the same blessing upon Jesus Christ, I declare that I am blessed in my health , my family, business, job, academics, relationships, finances etc.I declare that I am qualified to partake of the benefits of divine blessings in Jesus name". Married couples are blessed with fruitfulness .God sees them as already having children regardless of the medical reports. Same with businessmen, you already have the blessing to prosper .
Do not allow the enemy trick you into believing that you are cursed because you've just lost a job, failed an exam or.suffered a health crisis . Being blessed doesn't exempt us from the effect of evil on earth, Jesus taught that one could be blessed and yet momentary lack (Matthew 5:3) it is a self- induced poverty. Also one can be blessed and yet suffer the death of a loved one (Matthew 5:4) many people get killed for Christ' sake.You can also be blessed and yet live a low-profiled life (Matthew 5:5) one can be blessed and yet be hungry and thirsty (Mathew5:6) you can also be blessed and yet suffer persecution (Mathew 5:10) the scriptures says in Psalm 34.:19" Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all."
Afflictions befall both the good, bad and the ugly. The only difference is that we have a savour to run to and He has promised to save us whenever we call on His name. The scriptures says in Psalm 34:17 "The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles."
The blessings of God upon the church under the new testament is uncountable, they are summarized in this statement in 1Cor. 3:21" Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; " No human being has the power to prevent you from being blessed because part of the blessings we've received is the immunity against curses. The scriptures says in Galatians.3:13 "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: " the clause "being made a curse for us " implies that in the event of being cursed by anyone, Jesus Christ remains our permanent curse -absorber or immunity against curses.You are blessed beyond curses.
Unfortunately, a lot of Christians have been misled to believe that they are under a curse because of a challenge they are passing through and if by chance they receive a breakthrough after being prayed for, they erroneously attribute it to the 'prayer for deliverance' and become enslaved to man meanwhile there's an atheist somewhere enjoying God's provisions free of charge,the scriptures says ..'let no man glory in men ' 1Cor.3:21 and "time and chance happens to all " (Ecc.9:11) meaning that we cannot accelerate or decelerate the power of God (Ecc.3:1-11), there is no such thing as 'anointing for speed ' this kind of thinking leads to anxiety and corruption in a society .God controls everything and moves the universe as it pleases Him .Time is a creation of God and can never be against Him therefore God is not in a haste to do anything .Make Jesus the lord of your life ; relax and enjoy the blessed life as you receive this now in Jesus name.
