Topic: Triggers of the Blessings [Seeds of Destiny 15 February 2019 Devotional]
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
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The level of God’s Blessing in your life is proportional to your level of commitment to God.
It has been established that the Blessing was God’s endowment on man at creation. Although, this Blessing was lost through disobedience by Adam in the Garden of Eden, Jesus came to restore it to us (Ephesians 1:3).
However, despite the death of Jesus Christ that restored the Blessing, there are triggers to pull in order to unleash the power of the Blessing for maximum impact and benefits. Even though we are potentially blessed in Christ, it is when we pull the triggers that we can experience the real manifestations of the Blessing.
Now, what are the triggers of the Blessing?
1. The fear of the LORD (Gen. 22:16-17,”Psalms 112″:1-3)
The fear of the Lord is a trigger of the Blessing of God.
2. The Word of God
The Word of God is the Container of the Blessing of God (Psalms 1:1). The Word of God connects a person to the Blessing of God.
3. The Act of service
When you serve the Lord, He shall bless your bread and your water (Exodus 23:25). The level of God’s Blessing in your life is proportional to your level of commitment to God.
4. The Act of Giving and Tithing
It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). This means, giving releases the Blessing of God on a man’s life. This giving also includes the tithe. No giver is permitted to die as a beggar or pauper.
5. The prophetic and priestly Impartation
The prophet or priest over a person’s life is a custodian, depot or channel of the blessing (Number 6:23).
6. Parental goodwill
Parental goodwill releases the blessing. When you honour your parents,it must be well with you (Ephesians 6″:1-4).
Beloved, my counsel is, access God’s Blessings for your life by pulling the triggers and channels mentioned above.
Remember this: The level of God’s Blessing in your life is proportional to your level of commitment to God.
