If GOD'S blessings are not material and tangible things so also our thanking him will not be material and tangible but unfortunately there passages in the bible that suggest otherwise,like first fruits,seed sowing offering and even humans as offerings.here in Nigeria,we try to want to give the most unthinkable material thing to God and say it will move heaven to act on our behalf.example,someone gives God 1billion naira or dollars,thats cool but in the eyes of God those are just like processed trees with colours and design.in your heart you have given something of values to God.the real appreciation is are not material for the will affect how you treat people with respect and love, knowingly fully well that God has blessed you.it transcend material things.however blessings can be spirit wise and material wise depends on the individual perception position or circumstances. cool

Many people in the world cry to God to bless them and the only way they can confirm if their prayers have been answered is by the number of material things ( things they can touch and feel) they have received. Where many don't see the manifestation of these physical needs in their lives they assume God has forgotten them.

God bless people in various ways and more importantly, his blessings do not add sorrow to the receiver. God bless us most time with things money can't buy.

Proverb 10:22
The blessing of the LORD makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.

There are huge number of people whom God's non materialistic blessings are upon walking in the world today without knowing. Let us take a view of some people in this category from the Bible in order to have a better understanding of what we are discussing.

HEZEKIAH

2king 20:1-7
20 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”

2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 “Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Before Isaiah had left the middle court, the word of the Lord came to him: 5 “Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the Lord. 6 I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.’”

There are many people in the world today that are like hezekiah but don't know. They keep asking God to bless them but God had answered them by adding more years to their lives to live on earth (elongating their lives). In some families God's blessing may be that certain disease will never come near them from generation to generation.


BARUCH

Jeremiah 45:1-5
45 When Baruch son of Neriah wrote on a scroll the words Jeremiah the prophet dictated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, Jeremiah said this to Baruch: 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3 You said, ‘Woe to me! The Lord has added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.’ 4 But the Lord has told me to say to you, ‘This is what the Lord says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the earth. 5 Should you then seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the Lord, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.

Baruch is one of the people that God blessed with something that money can not buy. Baruch helped Jeremiah to execute an assignment of God and after the task God decided to reward/ bless BARUCH with what money can't buy. God blessed him with divine protection wherever he goes. Do you know what this means? It means if he joined the military and he got posted to a fierce battle field where no one amongst his team mate was supposed to survive he "Baruch" will survive and come home alive. In another instance, if he travelled in a bus and the bus is involved in a ghastly accident where every other person died " Baruch" will be the only survivor.

Therefore, when next you check for God's blessings upon your life and[b] you don't see house, cars and others don't conclude yet [/b]that you have missed out on God's blessing. When you look deeper you will see clearly that God has blessed you with things money can't buy.


Jesus is the messiah the world is waiting for connect with him today!!!!!


HOW TO CONNECT WITH JESUS

John14:6

Christians don't realize that God's Blessings transcend beyond the natural - money, health... that you cam be born again is a major Blessing... That we have been called to be like our heavenly father in heaven is a monumental Blessing we currently can't comprehend.
