THE WEIGHT OF THE BLESSING

Hey, The Blessing,

I listened to a message recently, and when the minister prayed for a certain woman, she said, “May the Lord give you the capacity to bear the blessing.” Of all the powerful words spoken, that line stuck with me: “May the Lord give us the capacity to bear the weight of the blessing.”

For every blessing, there is a weight attached—constraints, consecration, discipline, sacrifice, daily dying to self. And still, we are blessed. We are the blessing.

I had to call us the blessing so we don’t forget. It’s easy to look in the mirror and forget the image we saw. It’s easy to hear God call us into blessings, but harder to accept that He has renamed us as the personification of blessing. So, I affirm today: I am the blessing.

Because I am the blessing, I posture myself to sustain the blessings I have entered into. If God gives me the marriage I’ve prayed for, I must seek Him for the guidelines to keep it a blessing—not a burden. If the land God gave to the Israelites could later become a place of bondage, then it makes sense that He gave them the Book of the Law. In God, there is order.

 Yes, we live in grace, but grace still calls for posture—one that proves we don’t take His blessings for granted. If I’ve received the business I prayed for, I must still learn the principles to build and sustain it. If God gives children, He also gives instruction: “Train up a child in the way they should go.”Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)  

God's children needs to be trained in the way they should go.

God said to me in worship today, the relationship I have brought your way isn't for you to leave everything and build your life on it but you can weild it and allow me build you through it.

Blessings often come as seeds. Satan tried to corrupt the seed God brought to earth—and he’s still looking for whom to devour. God’s strategy for us is vigilance. The enemy wants your blessings—will you build a defense, or let him steal, kill, and destroy?

He’s not just after the marriage, the business, the children, the family, the career—he’s after you. But you can boldly say, “No place for you here.”

Don’t forget—you are The Blessing.
