YOU ARE CROWNED AND BLESSED – TO BE A BLESSING: DON’T LIVE LESS IN CHRIST JESUS!
“You CROWN THE YEAR WITH YOUR GOODNESS, AND YOUR PATHS DRIP WITH ABUNDANCE. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13. NKJV
“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED us with every spiritual BLESSING in the heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3 NKJV.
To being BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS, is to be EMPOWERED by God’s grace to SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, THRIVE, BECOME and such like the MORE, in every venture and endeavour of doing life and living godly, ensuring FULFILMENT through a gracious PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.
I want you to know full well, that in Christ Jesus, you are CROWNED AND BLESSED of God to be a BLESSING. And unlike the OLD TESTAMENT BLESSEDNESS that was woven UNDER an “IF” CONDITIONALITY as by the holy writ of Deuteronomy 28:1-15 and in other same like Scriptures of the OLD TESTAMENT, the NEW CREATION BLESSEDNESS of the NEW TESTAMENT in Christ Jesus, is not based on CONDITIONALITY “IF”, but on Christ Jesus stead IN US, as per Ephesians 1:3 and such like Scriptures of the epistles.
“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.
“And it shall come to pass, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and ALL THESE BLESSINGS shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF THOU SHALT hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. . .” Deuteronomy 28:1-15.
Herein are some of the reasons but not limited for your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, as the NEW CREATION of the NEW TESTAMENT:
** It is a DONE promised blessing of God in our redemption in Christ Jesus. Hence the New Creation Blessing is UNCONDITIONAL. Unlike the Old Testament wherein you are CONDITIONED to fulfill certain obligations to attain it or have it. Hence let no man ask you to pay some charges or fullfil some obligations before you can ascertain God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
** It’s the blessing that’s free of fear, sorrow, pain, envy, jealousy and anguish, but always enriching, assuring and ensuring. So, there’s no reason to be afraid of God’s BLESSEDNESS. And nobody should then threaten you of God’s promises to you beside them. Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4; 3 John 2.
** God’s BLESSING is not a FEELING, it is in the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING – that’s the only way you can BE a BLESSING too. And it’s always INTENTIONAL choice plan to have us BLESSED in His BLESSEDNESS.
** God’s BLESSING is not a car, property, family, money, empire of business and more; but the ENABLING ENDOWMENTS of God that MAKES and ENABLES to become a reality, the things you need like – car, house, business, money, family health, and more; the BLESSED ENABLER makes the things you need to come into reality WITHOUT SWEAT, EFFORTLESS, GRACEFULLY and GRACIOUSLY. It is such to note so that you are not limited by the things you need or have but you are GOVERNED by the enabler. The BLESSED enabler, MAKES you ABOVE ONLY otherwise you will go down south or down hill, when the alternative is your enabler.
** And God’s BLESSING KEEPS you in His CHURCH or PRESENCE and enables one to go from strenght unto strenght. Meaning, God’s BLESSING doesn’t take you away from His presence or Church as we’ve seen many BACKSLIDE from FAITH for having some little tokens of money or car or property and more which they considered to be a blessing, which unfortunately for them are the results of the BLESSEDNESS and not the BLESSEDNESS.
** God’s BLESSING for us in His BLESSEDNESS does not fade, deteriorate or go valueless and worthless and in any such like degradation, hence it’s not treasured as Car, landed property, house, material and such like that wear out with time. So when you have any material items as Car, house and such like for example, it is the ENABLING ENDOWMENTS called the BLESSEDNESS of God that is the Blessing and not the car. God’s BLESSEDNESS upon you provides you the car as a tool to achieve purpose on earth. And because God’s BLESSEDNESS is in the HEAVENLY PLACES, meaning spiritual endowment, thieves, robbers and such like enemy and cohorts, can’t break-in because there are kept in the heavenly places where Christ Jesus is sitted, you and I are sitted at the safe and secured right hand of God. Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Matthew 6:19-21.
** Do you know that you are BLESSED? If yes, then stop running around as one without KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. I am Blessed – I know It. You are Blessed – I know It quite well too.
** And much more importantly, your marriage is BLESSED and not a CURSE. You can now stop this unfavourable notion of holding and looking at your spouse as agent of CURSE and to know give up the worry syndrome knowing that being BLESSED maritally by God, you cannot be externally curse to make you live in fear. Hence you need to stop all those notions that someone else is there cursing your marriage and such is more supreme than the BLESSEDNESS of God upon your marriage. Always know that you will become what you believe – either God’s BLESSEDNESS or Man-Made make belief or your make up dogma’s to suit sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 1 Peter 3:8-12.
Having now known some of the reasons above, therefore, go on in grace, speaking FORTH who you ARE as being BLESSED of God and not CURSE; and going forth in such might in Christ Jesus stead to do the needful in PRINCIPLE and DILIGENCE, as God begins to actualise and unveil into reality your BLESSEDNESS in Him in Christ Jesus.
THEREFORE, IN POSSIBILITIES WITH – THE TIMELESS GOD – KNOW FULL WELL THAT YOU ARE CROWN BLESSED – TO BE A BLESSING – DON’T LIVE LESS IN CHRIST JESUS. AMEN.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
