September2019 – LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE: Living BLESSED – To Be A BLESSING!
To be BLESSED is to be empowered in God’s grace to SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, THRIVE, BECOME and MORE, in every venture and endeavour of LIFE and GODLINESS with FULFILMENT, through a gracious plan, purpose and pursuit.
Living The BLESSED Life:
** It is a DONE promised blessing of God in our redemption in Christ Jesus.
** It’s the blessing that’s free of fear, sorrow, pain, envy, jealousy and anguish, but always enriching, assuring and ensuring.
** 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.
** God’s BLESSING is not car, property, money, empire of business and more; but the enabling endowments of God that makes the things you need like – car, house, business, money, health, and more – come into reality effortless, gracefully and graciously.
** 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 His Church as we’ve seen many BACKSLIDE from FAITH for having some little tokens of money or car or property and more.
** I am Blessed – I know It!
** You are Blessed – I know It quite well too.
** Do you know that you are BLESSED? If yes, then stop running around as one without KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that THEY which ARE OF FAITH, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before THE GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all NATIONS be BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith are BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 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: 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 . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as MANY of you as have been BAPTIZED into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.
