Scripture: “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 KJV
Message: In Christ, you are blessed. The word “blessing” as used in this context is worth much more than money. Sound health is a blessing. Promotion is a blessing. Your relationship with God is a blessing. Enlargement, opportunities, good family and relationship are blessings. God blessing you with a car or a house is a blessing. Your child doing well in school is a blessing.
In Christ, blessings are your heritage. Your heritage in Christ is a blessed heritage. That is the reason for the finished work of Christ. In Christ, you have a background that is blessed. You are not cursed. No curse is permitted in your life. Anything in your life that negates God’s plan and agenda concerning your destiny is a curse. It is not supposed to be there and we must not tolerate it. In Christ, we are kings and priests. We have a double authority. Our priesthood is superior to the Aaronic and Levitical priesthood. 1 Peter 2:9 says: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” (1 Peter 2:9 KJV)
Child of God, you are not every person. The fact that it is not working for others does not mean that it will not work for you. In Christ, you are already a blessed person. That is what makes you special. You carry an irrevocable blessing. It must work for you. If it requires God to command creation to stop in order for you to receive your answer, He will do it. Never ever consider impossibility. In fact, remove ‘impossibility’ from your dictionary as a child of God. All things are possible to him that believes. You are a believer! You are a royal priesthood! Royalty is attached to your life! You are blessed!
