We are the ones who determine which group we're going to be in – either with the group experiencing the blessing or with the group that is not.
According to Scripture, God's Word, living in God's blessing is the result of our choice.
It's our choice - it's based on the decisions we make.
The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the home of the just. Proverbs 3:33 (NKJV)
According to this Scripture, how we choose to live our lives determines whether or not we experience the continual flow of His blessing. If you choose to be wicked, you will live under the curse. If you choose to be just, you will live under the blessing.
Keeping His Word is more than just knowing what it says, it's doing it! It's living by it! It's giving it first place in your life and making it final authority.
But once again, the key was and still is – obedience.
If you want to experience more of God's blessing, what area of your life do you need to be more obedient in? If you are asking for more blessing, maybe God is asking for more obedience.
God desires His blessing to be manifested in every area of your life. We are told in Proverbs 14:11 that "the upright shall flourish." Flourish means to be productive, to achieve success and to continually prosper!
To obey is to comply with whatever God's Word says to do. It is literally submitting to His authority. Obedience isn't something you can "try out" for a few weeks or months. It requires consistency.
Having the blessing on your house doesn't mean that you'll never have adversity – what it does mean is that it will not triumph over you!

Let your heart be established by God’s grace.
Because of His grace, you have full access to His blessings.
You no longer have to worry about whether you are good enough.
You can stand firm on the promises made in His Word and enjoy His blessings today because Jesus has paid the price.
Your part is only to believe and receive!

We Are Blessed Forever
Because He will never die, but continue as our High Priest forever, we have an everlasting righteousness.
Blessings are perpetually on your head because the Bible says that blessings are on the head of the righteous (Proverbs 10:6), and you are righteous forever!
And because Jesus is Christ forever, the blessings do not come to us in intermittent drips, but stream into our lives in a never-ending flow. Because He is our High Priest forever, we can never stop His blessings. Jesus also touches the blessings that He gives us with a forever effect. The more we see His priesthood as having a forever effect, the more permanent our healing and prosperity will be.
The blessings we receive are sure and steadfast because Jesus is our High Priest today, tomorrow and forever. |
So rejoice because Jesus your High Priest changes how you are blessed forever! |
