The Blessing

The blessing.

“The blessing of the Lord--it makes [truly] rich, and He adds no sorrow with it [neither does toiling increase it].” Proverbs 10:22(AMP)

The blessing of the Lord is the source of true riches. When the blessing of the Lord is upon you and what you do, you will be exempted from sorrow and toiling.

Some people have sweated so hard with all their might to be, do and have all they have today. The blessing is not evident in their lives since all they have got was by their own effort and sweat. Their lives are void of favour and there is nothing great that have ever come to them for free. God does not want your life to be that way.

The blessing of the Lord on you would amplify every effort you put into what you do. It will empower you to prosper and give you favour with men. It is okay to work hard knowing that God will reward your efforts but do not see hard work as your source. The blessing is your source.

Psalm 127:2(MSG) says, “It's useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone. Don't you know he enjoys giving rest to those he loves?” Some people work so hard and they cannot even rest. They do not know that God loves giving rest to those He loves. See Mark 6:31. Do not be so busy that you cannot even attend church. If you have been that way in the past, I encourage you to recognize God as your source this year and He will remove the toiling from your life.

Confession
In the Name of Jesus I declare according to the Word of God in Ephesians 1:3, that my heavenly Father has blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. The blessing is upon me and all that I lay my hands to do. The blessing of the Lord has made me rich and removes all toiling from my life. Amen.

For further study, read:
 Genesis 24:35, Proverbs 28:22, Galatians 3:13-14.
