Get Blessed!

... knowing that you were called for this purpose, that you may inherit a blessing

1 Peter 3:9

It is really important to God that we inherit a blessing! It’s not something to be ashamed of or to apologize for. On the contrary, it is central to God's purpose for our lives! The Scriptures declare it, and so when we as one of God's people are blessed, then God Himself is glorified.

God wants us to be blessed, even in ways we have never known before. We can get more of an idea of God's purpose when we consider one of the main reasons Jesus died on the cross and suffered for us. It was:

so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:14).

God's blessings include forgiveness, acceptance, friendship with God, righteousness, the Holy Spirit, prosperity, supply, healing, deliverance, fruitfulness, long life, favor with men, joy, peace, love, nobility of character, capacity and heart to give, spiritual gifts, wisdom, faith, hope, protection from danger and evil and even favor with men. God wants us to enjoy all of these… have you seen the blessings of God on your life today?
