Do not lose the blessing.

“And God gave them his blessing…” Genesis 1:28(BBE)

What Adam lost in the garden was the blessing, and when you lose the blessing, you lose fruitfulness, multiplication, replenishing and dominion.

In Genesis 1:26, the Bible lets us know that God gave man “… dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” So God is saying that man ought not to be afraid of anything. But you know that when man fell, he lost the blessing.

In Genesis chapter 9, when the blessing was restored, God said, “…Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.” Genesis 9:1. Then in verse 2 of Genesis Chapter 9, God said, “And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.” So we see from this verse that when God restored the blessing upon Noah, he also restored authority. Therefore we see that with the blessing comes authority, and if you will learn to be blessing conscious, functioning in a greater authority will become easier.

Remember that learning how to receive, function and flow with the blessing is the key to having all your goals and dreams fulfilled. Another thing you need to understand about the blessing is that the blessing is always transferred through words because it means to pronounce upon.

In Genesis 27, when Isaac was to bless his son Jacob, he pronounced the blessing on him through words. Genesis 27:28 says, “Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth and plenty of corn and wine” The fatness of the earth refers to prosperity. In Genesis 27:29, Isaac blessed Jacob saying, “Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.” This shows us that if the blessing is on a man’s life, he will always be on top.

So if you want to be ahead in life, there is no use trying to be ahead, just know how to receive, function and flow with the blessing.

CONFESSION
The blessing of the Lord is upon me, setting me on the course that I must follow. He has given me dominion over peoples and nations. He has made me an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. All those who have despised me shall come bowing unto me. Whosoever curses me is cursed and anyone who blesses me is blessed.
