Procession of blessings!
Verse for Today: Friday, April 12, 2013
John 1:16 – From the fullness of (Christ’s) grace we have all received
one blessing after another.
God deals with man through the abundance of His grace. It is unilateral
outpouring of God’s favor on man who does not deserve it because man willfully
rejected God and His commandments. There was no reason why God should come back
to man except because of His infinite love for him. The love of God compels Him
to extent favor and blessings upon man. These blessings are the opportunities
that God extends to man to come back to God and establish a new relationship.
All the favors that we enjoy today are God’s ways of touching our lives and
speak loudly about His desire that we acknowledge His love towards us. All things
that God extends to man to sustain him are heavenly messages of love to man to
get back to God. Through all provisions, protection and peace that are promised
to man, God wants to touch human life. He continues to shower blessings of
various kinds upon us to remind us that He cares for us. All the blessings that
God sends us are from the fullness of His grace which never fades away. He
knows the areas of our lives where we need blessings of various kinds and
supplies it at the right time in the right measure. All blessings are gifts of
grace from Him on the basis of our immediate and futuristic needs. The physical
and emotional gifts we receive follow the spiritual grace that is imparted.
Ultimately God is committed to grant us spiritual gifts which alone will last
for eternity. We are thus blessed with all the spiritual blessings of the
heavenly places to enjoy here and now for all our situations with ultimate
impact all through eternity. It is our resource to appropriate by faith to live
victoriously.
Dear friend, is there a feeling of emptiness in your soul today? Are you
living in frustration because many of your dreams are like unrealistic scribbling
on the smokescreen? Are the winds of circumstances blowing away your dreams in
life? Today God wants you to come down from the wings of dreams and desires and
fly on the wings of faith to higher vistas of life by enjoying the blessings
God wants to grant you. He knows all your needs and has prepared ways and means
to help you meet those needs so as to live a spiritually fulfilling life here
on earth. He has already blessed you with all the blessings of the heavenly
places here and now and has prepared everything you need to live a joyful life
on a daily basis. God wants to fill your life with Jesus in His character and
person. He has spread His table before you with all His resources to meet your
physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. He doesn’t want you to live an
empty life any more. If you try to draw from the Vanity Fair of this world, you
will have an unfulfilled life portrayed by emptiness, frustration,
purposelessness and chaos. But if you draw spiritual blessings spread for you
on the table of blessings of the Lord, it will enrich you with bliss. You are
positionally given these blessings one after the other to meet your emerging
needs, but you must claim it by faith. If you are disobedient, you must confess
it and get right with the Lord for you to enjoy the blessings. If you have
taken a detour in your sojourn, you must come back to the cross and walk after
the crucified One. His blessings are like a vast ocean from which you should draw
to drink to the brink. Today He invites you to enjoy His blessings of joy, love,
peace and patience to meet the challenges of everyday life.
Ephesians 1:3 – Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessings in the heavenly
places in Christ.
