Topic: You Are Blessed in Christ — Saturday October 7, 2017.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” (Ephesians 1:3 KJV)
Oh! what a joy to know that we are made in the image of God. He made us in his image and likeness. I am tired of Christians who go about promoting curses. You are not cursed when you are connected to God. No, you are not under a curse. Irrespective of the background you came from, you are no more under a curse. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.” You are blessed.
What does it mean to be blessed? It means you have been empowered to succeed. It means you are wired to succeed. Therefore, you cannot fail. That is why he’s able to tell you to be fruitful. He didn’t say be seedful, he said be fruitful because you already have a seed. You have something to offer. The world is waiting for you. Society is waiting for you. Be fruitful, be productive, increase, replenish yourself, distribute yourself, subdue the earth, control the market, have dominion, dominate that place. Yet believers are going about with cups in their hands. I am tired of this!
Ecclesiastes 10:5-7 says, there is an evil which I have seen under the earth, it proceeds from the ruler. Oh yes, he said servants are riding on horses and princes are walking as servants upon the earth. Princes are walking about with cups in their hands. The devil is a liar. You are coming back on your horse. You will take back your possessions. You are not a nobody. Heaven reckons with you. You carry power. There is a power at work in you that makes the rulers of darkness to tremble. You are God’s powerhouse. You are anointed by God to work the works of God. You are God’s authorized agent to distribute heaven’s abundance. Stop looking down on yourself. Believe and receive whom God has made you in Christ Jesus.
