Welcome To The Arena Of Indubitable Truth! Topic: What The Blessing Is (Part 11)

Continued from the last episode:

Preamble: Knowing and understanding what the blessing is will definitely enhance our Christian life. Over the years there has been a misconception or misnomer about what the blessing of God is, and as a result many who are blessed are thinking they are not and many who are not are basking in great fallacious delusion thinking they have arrived. In this topic, we are going to painstakingly unfold the meaning of the blessing of God.

“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”

Provb 10:22 (KJV)

Furthermore, as said earlier, the blessing of God is the restoration of man to the position he is supposed to be in God as purposed by God even before the foundation of the earth. When a man believes the gospel he believed into the position God has established for him, and by knowledge he will begin to operate in these positions and begin to exercise authority in them. That is to say that he has come into the class of God, as a child of God, he now possess the life of God, the love of God, he has the faith of God in him, he has the Spirit of God in him and the light of God dwells in him. These positions typifies riches and as I said earlier, the blessing of God empowers one to be rich and anyone that has occupied these positions in God has already being made rich no doubt. This shows that if you have spoken to someone about Christ and he or she believes to accept Him in his or her life. What this implies is that you have succeeded to empower him or her to become rich, though it depends on his or her awareness of the position you have brought him or her into. See what Apostle Paul says in his epistle to the Corinthians “In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.” (2 Cor. 6:5-10).

The quotation suggests that the riches and possessing all things doesn’t necessarily mean physical or material things but something that has spiritual connotations and of course there is no one as rich as someone that has connection or relationship with God. Possessing all things means that in them is the substance that can generate everything one might be in need of in life, because without having the substance it will be impossible for the materialization of things to come into effect. With them, those things that look mysterious are demystified and revealed to men.

These are what he called in another epistle the unsearchable riches of Christ, “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.” (Eph 3:8-9). These riches are mainly located in Christ and can be accessed by those who are in Christ. Though they are not physical but manifests in form of authority, audacity, knowledge and spiritual understanding in the life of the believer, he has the right to control things around, I means issues orders and things will begin to fall into places as he desires. He has control over what happens to his health, he conditions his health whenever any abnormality wants to take place. He causes eternity to invade matters and with such an innate and spiritual prowess or dexterity in him or her matter doesn’t matter at all. They command resources and resources flow towards and around them for any purpose they desire to execute.

They are called the light carrier and are full of light because they abide in the Light and walk in the light of life and never stumble in darkness. When they come into an area that is full of darkness the light in them starts to neutralize the darkness and its effect in that area. Because of their existence in a certain place, there is an assurance of hope that development is guaranteed and prosperity has come because in them is the substance that can manifest and transform a worse place to a better place. This is what happened in the case of Joseph, immediately he came into the house of Potiphar, situation and the environments began to respond to him because he is the substance carrier. Potiphar couldn’t help it but to confess the obvious that he noticed in his life “And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.”

Therefore, the restoration of someone to the spiritual position he should be in God conceptualizes the fact that he or she has assumed the position of power and authority. The reality is that occupying a position of power enables one to amass or accrued whatever his or her desire is and if someone is out of position he or she wouldn’t for any reason call any shots in any matter. Think about this!
