Are you blessed by the world’s standards or God’s promises. The world’s standards of blessed comes with sorrows and a one-way ticket to hell.
To be Godly blessed is to be abundantly and unlimitedly supplied with the Inexhaustible Riches of God in Christ Jesus, from earth to heaven. When God blesses a person ,their whole body, soul, and spirit are blessed,and no sorrows accompany it.
Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV
[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.
Proverbs 10:22 NKJV tells us, ” The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.”
You can have all the world’s possessions and still not be blessed. Many have the world’s goods and are miserable, unhappy, sick,and frustrated, which proves that money can’t buy happiness or health ,nor a ticket into eternity .
Wouldn’t you rather be blessed by a God who loves you. In 3 John 1:2 KJV,He says : “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
”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” (Ephesians 1:3).
Then Philippians 4:19 NKJV reminds us that:
” ….. God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
” Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (2 Peter 1:2-4 NKJV).
” For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” (Mark 8:36-38 NKJV).
” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. [ Jude 1: 24-25].
