You
may have heard of people who think that to have better “luck”, they
have to move to a new home, work for a certain company or even migrate
to another country. |
|
|
The
truth is that it is not the place that gets you the blessings, but
whether God’s blessing is on you. And for you, child of God, you are
already blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians
1:3) He has paid for your blessings with His blood. So the blessing is
not on the land but on the man! |
|
|
It was in the city of Jerusalem that
Jesus was whipped, cursed and spat on. And it was outside the city on
Calvary’s hill that He was pierced and crucified. That is why you are
blessed in the city as well as outside in the country! In fact, you are
blessed regardless of your location. |
|
|
Perhaps you work in a non-Christian
company and your boss doesn’t quite like you. In fact, he sometimes
mistreats you. But God can still bless you in spite of your boss. You
get blessed because you believe God for it. It has nothing to do with
your boss or the company. |
|
|
Why then don’t you seem to see the blessings? |
|
| My
friend, if you don’t see the blessings, check what you have been
believing and saying. Some people complain and blame everyone and
everything around them — their parents, race, gender, environment and
government—for their lack of blessings. Beloved, I want you to believe
and confess that you are blessed because of Jesus’ finished work on the
cross, not because you are of a certain race or work in a certain place. |
|
|
It
does not matter where you work or live, what color your skin is or what
you do for a living. If God blesses you, you are blessed! And it is all
because of Jesus. So say to yourself, “I am blessed wherever I
am—blessed in the city, blessed in the country!” |
