Blessing—It Is Important Men

Blessing n. 1a. The act of one who blesses. B. The prescribed words of ceremony for such an act. 2. An expression or utterance of good wishes. 3. A special favor granted by God. 4. Anything promoting or contributing to happiness, well-being, or prosperity; a boon. 5. Approbation: This plan has my blessing. 6. A short prayer before or after a meal. (The American Heritage Dictionary)

Scriptures on Blessing:

v Neh. 13:2 The Lord turned curse into blessing.

v Ps. 129:8 The blessing of the Lord be on you.

v Prov. 10:22 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich.

v Mal. 3:10 Pour on you out a blessing, you cannot contain.

v Eph. 1:3 Blessed us with all spiritual blessing.

v Heb. 6:7 Earth receives blessing from God.

v Rev. 5:12 (Jesus) Worth to receive honor and blessing.

There are many more scriptures that promote ‘blessing’. We all want to be blessed. At times we see the blessing of God resting on us and then there are those dark moments where we are questioning and asking God, “Where is my blessing?”

I believe with all my heart that, as men, we have failed to receive and give blessings. It is the single greatest flaw among men. I do not believe we understand the importance and how great an influence blessing can be. Men cannot be men without blessings, but, whatever the problem is, let’s now say, “Men, it is time for blessing!”

Just like forgiveness (i.e. forgiveness can be complicated) blessings are complex. It is at the center of whom God is and how we are to serve Him. Got blessing?—then you will always find the road to God’s will for your life.

Blessings promote who ‘you were always meant to be’ in Christ. They can protect you, promote your spiritual growth, give you insight and favor, and allow you to find and do the will of God in season and out of season…Men, it’s time for blessing!

Blessings make up for your weaknesses. When you fail, blessings pick you up. Having trouble in a particular relationship, blessings bridge the gap with that person. Prayers are not working?—blessings can carry you through dark times. Men, it’s time for blessings!

We can learn and understand blessings. How they work, various types of blessings, and our part in receiving and giving blessing, and blessings for various occasions and circumstances surrounding the will of God.

Men, it’s time for blessings!
