YOU ARE BLESSED

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. - Ephesians 1:3

To be a child of God is to be a blessed person. When we make Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour, we enter into a covenant relationship of blessing with God.

This is blessing we receive as a result of our relationship and not as a reward for our efforts. In Christ Jesus, we inherit divine blessing through grace.

• Our blessing covers all things: God has made provision for everything we will ever need and has prepared resources for these needs in advance. For every challenge that will ever face us in life, the Lord has made provision ready and waiting.

• Our blessing is spiritual: God's provision for us starts as a spiritual reality which we must believe for and pray into manifestation in the natural realm at the appropriate time.

• Our blessing is in heavenly places: God's provision for us is based on His resources in heaven. He is not limited by our earthly limitations and so we can trust Him for supply even when our earthly circumstances appears hopeless.

• Our blessing is in Christ: God's provision is available because of what Christ accomplished through the sacrifice of His life on the cross and His ongoing ministry as our High Priest at the right hand of the Father.

It is only in Him that we are able to fully lay hold on all the benefits the Father has made available to us.

Prayer: I thank You Heavenly Father, for all the many blessings You have prepared in advance for me this day.
