READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. YOU’RE THE BLESSED OF THE LORD – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. SATURDAY, AUGUST 20TH 2016.
Notice the construction
above; the Apostle Paul wasn’t praying or making entreaties or begging God for
spiritual blessings, no! It’s an energetic outburst of luxuriant, profuse, and
exuberant worship. He glorifies the Lord who has blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in the heavenly realms. He had the mentality that he was already
blessed with all spiritual blessings that exist, and became poetic in praise.
This should be your testimony!
Be full of praise to God
because there’s nothing you don’t have, and there’s nothing you can’t do!
You’ve been endowed spiritually with all things, and for all things. Why did
Paul use the phrase “spiritual blessings?” It’s because if you have the
spiritual blessings, then you have all earthly blessings, because the spiritual
gives birth to the physical. The lesser is included in the greater.
This world came from the
spirit realm. The Bible says in the beginning, God created the heaven and the
earth (Genesis 1:1). God is a Spirit; so, the spirit-world pre-existed the
physical world. Therefore, the spiritual blessings are greater than the
physical blessings, because they’re the ones that give rise to the physical
blessings. So, there’s no need to beg God to bless you; instead, become
exuberant with Him in praise for already blessing you with all spiritual
blessings.
He’s given you all things
(1 Corinthians 3:21), and made you a partaker of His divine nature (2 Peter
1:4). He’s made you sufficient in His sufficiency; to be fruitful and
productive in every good work. He’s given you His Spirit to lead and guide you
in wisdom to fulfil your destiny in Him and be all that He’s ordained you to
be. This should be your thinking, testimony, and worship.
Learn to say, “Blessed be
God, who has blessed me in all things, and made me the testimony of His glory
and revelation of His grace and righteousness.” You’re the blessed of the Lord,
and not only that, you’re also the conveyor and vent of His blessings.
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I
worship and extol your Majesty today, for you’ve blessed me with all spiritual
blessings in the heavenly realms in Christ. I’m conscious that I’m the conveyor
of your blessings, imparting my generation with the blessings of your Kingdom,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: ||
Galatians 3:7-9 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. ||
|| 2 Peter 1:3 According
as his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue: ||
|| 1 Peter 3:9 Not
rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing;
knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. ||
