Finding A Blessed Life

Do I need more faith? How about more hope? More righteousness? Nope, you only need to bless! Often we think and try to make things complicated in our walk with Christ, but to God we only need to do things His way, “My burden is easy and my yoke is light” Jesus said.

I believe we have no blessings because we give no blessings. Let’s get started:

First, whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord. In you heart, mind, and voice saying, “God I am doing this for you and with you. Bless me as I do this.”

Second, begin to say good things about God, tell God how great He is, remind Him how kind He has been, offer to Him praise and thankfulness—be generous with your words.

Third, tell others about the greatness of God! Who He is, what He has done, and what He is planning to do today and forever. Be excited about God because of everything you have discovered about Him, and what He is presently doing for you.

Fourth, remind yourself of scriptures that express ‘blessing God’. Ps 135, 136, 138, 139, 145, 146, 148, 149 150 are a few that bless all of what God is and does. Honor His name(s) and speak of them often, as well as, by telling God how much you appreciate Him!

Fifth, we must pray, be thankful and praise God! And, while doing this bless God just like you say good things about your spouse, family members, friends, business partners—begin to be gracious and kind—say good things about others and especially God.

If we would do this starting with God first and then others by blessing and passing along blessings, you will not be able to contain the multitude of blessings God will give to you. Let King David be your example, “A man after God’s own heart,” who received blessings of every form and structure from God that were without number and so great, generations would inherit the blessing for years to come. This happened only because he blessed God, and we ought to do the same. It’s easy, just say, ’I bless you God because…’

Men, it’s time for blessings!
