When we get born again, we are blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places ( Ephesians 1:3).

That scripture verses challenged me so much in my early years in ministry because, like many other Christians,  I had no idea how to transfer those “spiritual blessings in heavenly places” into my real time.

Therefore,  I would fast, pray and beg, before I could enjoy the blessings of salvation. It was so frustrating.

 Yet, the Bible says that it is the blessings of God that makes us rich without sorrows, See Proverbs 10:22. 

Even though the Bible says, “the expectations of the righteous result in joy….” (Proverbs 10:28), I had no joy. I was very uptight and had many unmet needs, and my expectations were frustrated.

God is not at fault and His Word is Truth.  For Indeed, the born again child of God is blessed.

But you have to make His Word work for you by lining up with it. 

Ignorance of who we are in Christ, and how to utilize the power at work in us, are the major problems besetting  most Christians today.

Before we pray, below are some things you can do to facilitate the manifestations of the heavenly blessings into your physical world.

a). Be prayer-full: it is important to keep praying until you receive your blessings. (See Luke 18:1-8) 

Prayer of praises/thanksgiving brings God’s power into play in your life (Psalm 22:3, 

b). Increase your commitment level to God and to your cause. When you draw near to God, He will draw near to you. Your commitment to God commits God to your cause, which attracts blessings to you (See James 4:8, Jeremiah 29:12-14).

c) Know that “All good and perfect gifts come from God” (See James 1:17). It is not about how hardworking you are, it is God’s grace (Ecclesiastes 9:11)

d). Counter satanic interferences. We should not be ignorant of satan’s devices.  He always tries to Intercept blessings in order to frustrate the faith of Believers. 

Whenever you pray, always incapacitate the forces of evil and release your blessings.

Read Daniel 10:13-21, Mathew 18:18, Mark 16:17-18, Luke 10:19)

#Prayers4Today:

Thank you Father God for blessing us  with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places, and also enabling us to receive these blessings as well in our realities.

I acknowledge that I was in doubt and began to falter at your promises. 

I receive forgiveness for questioning your integrity and not holding fast to my confessions of faith.

I command all the forces of evil attacking, hindering, delaying, or blocking my blessings, to be gone now to the feet of Jesus Christ.

I affirm that all things are   working together for my good, and I have the advantage over all established human or spiritual protocols.

I call forth the release of all my due or accrued financial and material blessings.

  I pronounce as abrogated, all   delays, interferences, bans and embargoes over all my good and perfect blessings.

Thank you Father that your grace and favor are working for me already, and I shall enjoy your goodness in the land of the living, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, July 15th, 2024.
