The Lord has promised us that this is our year of all-round blessings. Let’s hold on to His word, and walk and work in the consciousness of His promise.

Let’s be obedient to His instructions and covet His presence in our lives. We will be blessed in all areas of our life as we allow His dwelling with us.

The favour of God takes you to places and events where money, possessions, hard work and your strength can never take you to.

There are times in the calendar of God when He steps in to favour His children. In such situations your days will never be the same.

The word of God tells us that there is a time when God shows favour to His children. This is what the Lord says: “In the time of my favour I will answer you” (Isaiah 49:8).

Isaiah 61:2 talks about “the year of the Lord’s favour.” Psalm 102:13 says, “You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favour to her; the appointed time has come.”

In Psalm 5:12 we read “For surely O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favour as with a shield.” Without the favour of God, we will find it difficult to make it in our society where wickedness and corruption abound.

Dear Child of God, one touch of God’s favour will turn everything around in your life.

God finished creating the world and said that everything He made was good. In other words, no part of creation is bad. The problem is that, most times, we don’t know what to do with whatever we have or where we are.

Israel, Dubai, Abu-Dahbi, etc., have proved that anywhere can be turned into a prosperous, flourishing, desirable, and highly productive place; if and only if, we know what to do.

The first thing that God did to Adam and Eve after they were created was to bless them, and instruct them on what to do with the blessing – to be fruitful and multiply and have dominion over the rest of creation. (Genesis 1:26-28)

Our being blessed is a primary priority and a fundamental aspect in God’s plans and dealings with us.

In Christ, God has already blessed us and made the blessing available to us.

The promise has been made and is there for the asking and taking.

If you could have it without God, then you would have it by now. Secondly, God would not have had to make it a promise to us, if we could get it by ourselves without His participation or involvement.

Self-effort and human achievement is not what the Bible means by the blessing.

The blessing involves God’s hand and participation – it is supernatural in a sense. If your blessings can be explained without God, it is not “blessed.” Blessing(s) come exclusively from God.

God’s blessings are real.

God desires to fulfil His promises and make them a reality in the lives of His children.

God’s character is to bless. At creation He blessed. (Genesis 1:28)

Our Lord Jesus at the end of His ministry and time on earth, He blessed. (Luke 24:50-51)

The Lord our God is faithful, and He will keep all His promises, He has given us grace to walk with Him in Obedience and faith.

(Matthew 11:28-30) God is faithful [He is reliable, trustworthy, and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

(1 Corinthians 1:9 AMP) And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8 ESV)

As we approach the end of the year 2023, I want us to do so on a note of gratitude to God and enter the year 2024 on a note of confidence – realizing that we have been exalted by grace.

POSITION in Christ, PLAN – God’s plan that provides these blessings and PURPOSE of God behind these blessings.
