MONTH MAY 2023: THE MONTH OF HARNESSING “THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD” IN YOU IN CHRIST JESUS!
“THE BLESSING OF THE LORD, it maketh RICH, and He ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.
The Month MAY is the FIFTH month of the Year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the THIRD of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month May is a month of SPRING in the Northern Hemisphere and AUTUMN in the Southern Hemisphere. Month MAY, been the FIFTH month speaks of PERFECTION which is reckoned to BLESSEDNESS, just as the numbers of 3, 7 and 9 has significance Scripturally; and Month MAY, being of the number 5 of the year calendar, indicate an opportunity to stir up and harness graciously and gracefully, in order to actualise in FULNESS, “THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD” in our redemption, in Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us in this essence. Romans 4:1-25; Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 8:9-17; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
The BLESSEDNESS of God is free of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all irrespective. The BLESSEDNESS of God is PURE – it’s incorruptible and priceless. Philippians 4:8; Proverbs 10:22; Matthew 6:19-23.
To HARNESS in the context of the theme “THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD” means to take hold in grace, of the redemption we’ve received of God in Christ Jesus, toward fulfilling meaningfully, our God’s given plan, purpose and pursuit, in our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Proverbs 4:18-23; Psalms 16:11.
And “THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD” indicate the state (realm, sphere, position) of being BLESSED – with God’s divine favour – a state of being divinely fulfilling and having a meaningful happiness that’s indescribable and unimaginable and incomprehensible in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 4:5-10 *(vs 6, 9); 2 Corinthians 5:19 (17-21); Ephesians 1:3-4, 20; Ephesians 2:6-8.
And the BLESSING of THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD, is about living within the PURPOSE and POWER of God in REDEMPTION which is not of the modane things as car, money, gold, precious stones, property, qualification, status and such like, though it makes them come into reality when fully known and understood in essence. The Blessing of God is that God’s enabling endowments that cause the desired needed necessity of life as – car, money, gold, precious stones, property, qualification, status and such like – to become a reality and materialises in essence to be tangible, reachable, loveable and acceptable. Proverbs 10:25; Ephesians 1:3; Matthew 6:19-21.
It’s my earnest PRAYERS that in this month, you come to know and understand THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in you, so that you can live meaningfully and purposefully in God’s enabling grace in Christ Jesus, with ease and comfort as God intended for you in doing life and living godly.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto them, Be FRUITFUL, and MULTIPLY, and REPLENISH the earth, and SUBDUE it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.
“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that BLESS thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.
“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25.
“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love” Ephesians 1:3-4.
“THE BLESSING OF THE LORD, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW WITH IT” Proverbs 10:22.
“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: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through FAITH” Galatians 3:13-14.
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGTH, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.
“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 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” 1 Peter 3:8-9.
