Good morning royal ones!
Everyone of us, as God’s children, have what the Scripture calls, “THE BLESSING.” THE BLESSING is an empowerment, a divine enablement to accomplish what God said we can have and do. THE BLESSING is really God’s favor on your life ~ It’s when He’s making His face shine on you. Numbers 6:24-26 says,
- “The Lord will bless You and keep you; The Lord will make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord will lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.” (Original Hebrew)
When you WALK IN THE BLESSING, you make good decisions; you see supernatural opportunities; the right people come across your path! And, you realize, it’s not your own strength; it’s not your own ability; it’s THE BLESSING of God on your life!
We’ve all experienced a measure of this BLESSING ~ But there’s a level of BLESSING that God is going to release in your life, like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 15:29,
- “I will come in THE FULLNESS OF THE BLESSING“
That word, “FULLNESS” means: To the highest degree; to the greatest measure.
You may say, “Well, Lisa, God has blessed me! I’ve got a good family and I live in a nice house.” That’s great, but God is saying, “You haven’t seen anything yet! You haven’t touched the surface of what I have in store for you! You’ve walked in a measure of that BLESSING, but I have a much greater measure!”
My dear brothers and sisters, God has abundance lined up for you, and if He showed it to you, it would boggle your minds. God has opportunities in your future that are going to amaze you! We’ve only seen just a tiny fraction of what God is going to do in the future.
One thing I’ve learned is that God likes to out-do Himself! His desire for your life is so much bigger than your own. God is going to take you places that you never thought possible!
Family, you’re not here by accident ~ You’ve been chosen by the Creator of the Universe. John 15:16 says,
- You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My Name He may give you.
Your destiny was not determined by how you were raised or your education level ~ Your destiny was determined by Almighty God and the good news is: God has already laid out a life of victory for every one of you! Whether we realize it or not, right now, God is arranging things in your favor! 1 Samuel 2:20 says,
- …for those who honor Me I will honor…
You will be able to say what the Psalmist says in Psalm 118:23,
- “Look what the Lord has done; it is marvelous in our eyes!”
What happened? You tapped into a greater measure of that BLESSING.
Remember this: God is your source of abundance! He not only wants you to have enough to meet your needs, but to have so much left over, that you can be a BLESSING to somebody else! Deuteronomy 8:18 says,
- It is God Who gives us the power to get wealth.
I know you have been faithful! You’ve honored God with your life. You have given. You have served. You have helped others. All those seeds that you’ve sown down through the years didn’t go unnoticed. Now, it’s time for you to reap a harvest off of your years of faithfulness! Proverbs 13:22 says,
- The wealth of the ungodly will eventually find its way into the hands of the righteous for whom it’s been laid up for.
It’s been laid up for you! So, as long as you stay in faith, God has promised the abundance and the funds that already have your name on it! They’re going to eventually be transferred over! Psalm 65:11,
- God will crown your year with His goodness (a bountiful harvest) and cause your paths to drip with abundance.
God is going to get into your hands everything that belongs to you! Isaiah 45:3 says that God will give you the hidden riches found in secret places. He knows where all the hidden riches are because He’s the One Who put them there!
“Thank You, Father, that You are so high, so amazing, so supernatural and yet like David asked, ‘What is man that You are mindful of him? And the son of man, that You visit him? You’ve made him a little lower than Yourself. You have crowned him with glory and honor.’ Thank You, Lord, for Your BLESSING and Your favor upon our lives, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Believing for THE FULLNESS OF THE BLESSING,
