Thought for the day
There are four types of blessings that I would like to briefly touch on. It is my hope that you will explore them further by doing your own studies on them.
The four types of blessings are:
1. Spiritual Blessings:
Ephesians 1:3 NKJV
[3] 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,
2. Material and financial blessings:
II Chronicles 1:12 NKJV
[12] wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like.”
3. Undeserved blessings
Romans 5:8 NKJV
[8] But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
4. Unsolicited blessings
II Samuel 6:11 NKJV
[11] The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months. And the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.
We can glean from these concepts about blessings that God has different types of blessings which come to us in different ways. They were all designed by God to bless all mankind through Abraham and ministered through Jesus. God has also designed that the wealth of the wicked will become the wealth of the righteous. Abraham was blessed with favour and material blessings by heathen kings because of this intention of God. Even the land that Abraham possessed was taken from the heathen and given as an inheritance to the seed of Abraham.
