The Apostle Paul understood by revelation that in Christ, we are already blessed with all spiritual blessings. We are not attempting to get blessed, or begging God to bless us. He is our loving Heavenly Father, and it pleased Him to bless us in Christ. Ephesians 1:3 says: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, The Greek word for Bless (Eulogeo) has various meanings, but part of the meaning is: “to cause to prosper.” As God’s children, we already have the privilege of God’s blessing. We have been given His power by His Holy Spirit. Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Walk with your head held high because you are a child of the KING and you are already blessed!
Who will take advantage of this opportunity?
Have you ever failed to take advantage of a great opportunity? Later on, regret might have set in as you realized what you missed out on. Ephesians 5:16 (TPT) says: “Take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for his purposes.” Everywhere you look, you can see how people are trying to take advantage of you. You can see it in commercials where corporations are incessantly trying to sell you something. You can see it in the daily robo-calls promoting every kind of product or service. Even some of our family try to take advantage of us. 2 Corinthians 2:11 confirms that satan also attempts to take advantage of us: “Lest Satan should take advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” It’s time that you realize that God has given us discernment and wisdom to be able to take advantage of every day and maximize the resources and relationships that He has blessed us with. This will allow us to be pleasing to Him, and we could also be effective ministers where He has rooted us. Determine today to not allow the enemy to take advantage of you. Instead, you take advantage of every opportunity. The Holy Spirit will show you how to do so as you seek Him and ask for daily wisdom.
