One of the most misunderstood concepts in our Christian faith, is the issue of the blessing, when ever the word blessing is mentioned what runs through the mind of the average believer is physical material things. We have to understand that the blessings are not things, nor riches nor material possessions. We don't judge a man by the possessions he has or the riches available to him. A man can be rich and yet cursed a man can be rich and lost a man can be rich and still oppressed by spiritual demonic forces. Look at this very popular scripture and understand the concept of the blessings.

Proverbs 10
[22]It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it.

Take note it's the blessing that makes a man rich not the other way around. It's not the riches that makes a man blessed.

Now what is the blessing?

The blessing is an empowerment from God in the life of His sons to succeed all round in life.
The blessing is an all round empowerment to succeed in all sphere of life that you found your self as a believer. The blessing means success in your health, your family, your marriage, your business and your job, your finance, success in your Christian life, success in your mind and eventually all that you do.

Now that we have seen that the blessings are not things but an empowerment, how does the blessing work. Let's trace our root to Genesis when the lord created mankind.

Genesis 1:27-28
[27]God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
[28]God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

When man was created the first thing that God did was to bless them. Remember all that man needed was already created in the garden but for man to enjoy the things he needed to carry the blessing. How did God do it? The scripture says God blessed them SAYING. Now this is where we all got it wrong thinking until we get material possessions we are not blessed. The blessings are spoken words with divine backing which orders the path of your life. For God to bless mankind He spoke He said, until words of blessing are spoken over you by the lord you will struggle. Blessings are words so also are curses. But we as believer we have the word of the blessing spoken over us already. So a man is blessed or cursed by spoken words. When an anointed minister stands over you and declare over your life he is enforcing divine empowerment to succed on you. So never take the words of your minister lightly.

2 Chronicles 20
[20]They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the Lord your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed."

Have you ever stop to wonder what Jacob got from Isaac his father when he was blessed? Did his father willed all his possessions to him? No, but he left with the spoken word of the blessings and he succeeded. We will see something about this in our next writing which is titled the word of his blessings.
Now let's carry the consciousness of a blessed man anywhere we find ourselves. Because we now know that the word of God has spoken blessings over us. We succeed as much as the blessing we carry and we are aware off. Live your life on a daily basis knowing you are a blessing and that you are blessed. Never allow the misfortune of life make you walk in life like a cursed man. Things may not be what you want now but understand that it will get better because you carry the blessing. After Jacob was blessed by Isaac he suffered many set backs in the land where he was but was never discouraged and once the blessings started manifesting he became an unstoppable force. It may tarry but it will surely speak. Be more conscious of the blessings you carry as a believer never allow the trials of life make you feel you are cursed. Any thing you do have the mindset that it will succeed because you have been empowered for it. In as much as the blessings are not things or material possessions we should also understand that the blessing has the ability to produce the material possessions and things that life needs. The blessing is the producers of riches and material possessions it also supply the good health to enjoy these things abundantly. Let's stop looking for the product but go for the source of the product. God is our source of all round blessings. Remember to carry the blessing you must be in christ, for christ is the total package of all of God's blessings.
