Introduction
A lot of people have missed the true meaning of the word BLESSING.
Some see it as a physical material acquisition, and often a time it is used as a yardstick for measuring one’s status.
But what does the word BLESSING truly mean?
see
Deuteronomy 8:18
[18]But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
From Deut 8:18, we can understand that the true meaning of blessing is EMPOWERMENT.
Deut 8:18…..it is he that giveth thee power…..
The blessing is not any material thing but a spiritual empowerment that makes the physical material things possible.
Deuteronomy 28:2
[2]And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 28:3-4
[3]Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
[4]Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
Empowered shall thou be in the city, empowered shall thou be in the field…..(Paraphrase)
This goes to show that the empowerment is a spiritual substance that follows you everywhere.
see
Luke 1:45
[45]And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
The blessing (empowerment) comes before the performance (fruit).
Most people are going after the fruits of the blessing believing that they are chasing the blessing.
The fruits of the blessing are the physical things we can see and touch, e.g cars, houses, money, children etc.
Going for the fruits of the blessing will lead to error, how is that so?
see
Matthew 6:31-32
[31]Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
[32]for after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
What is required of every child of God is to seek his Blessing and not the fruits of the blessing,
Genesis 49:25[25]Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
from Genesis 49:25…..it is clear that there are three levels of God’s Blessings, the first level is tied to heaven and can only be accessible through the covenant of tithe, the second is connected to treasures hidden in the deep and the third is packaged in a woman’s womb.
We will be looking at the third level and how to access it.
The Blessings of the Breast and Womb.Genesis 2:18[18]And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.The rise and fall of any man is directly or indirectly connected to this level of God’s order of empowerment.This level of God’s blessing is progressively impactful. This empowered level is not restricted to any religious beliefs, it is available to all who seek it, irrespective of race and tribe.It is God’s free gift to mankind.It can turn a life of any man from nothing to greatness. It most be treasured! see
Proverbs 18:22[22]Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
Genesis 3:1[1]Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman,……Why did the devil come to the woman first and not the man?
The devil knows about this spiritual level of empowerment so he came to destroy it.
Genesis 49:25[25]…..blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
This level is available only through marriage between a man and a woman.
