Be Blessings Conscious
Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On
this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying
unto them, The LORD bless thee, and keep thee
(Numbers 6:23-24).
As Christians, we’ve been called to a life of
blessings; we’re to walk in blessings, speak
and manifest blessings every day and everywhere.
Imagine walking into your home, office, classroom, or
board meeting, speaking blessings! The Bible adjures
us to render blessings, for that’s our calling (1 Peter
3:9).
It’s like what the Lord said to Aaron and his sons,
the priests. He commanded them to pronounce
blessings on the children of Israel, even though the
children of Israel were His own people. The Jews today
are inarguably some of the most successful people
in the world, because of their consciousness of the
blessings of God. They teach their children, and their
children’s children to speak blessings, and be conscious
of blessings.
The blessings upon the Jews are, however, not
as glorious as the blessings upon the Church—the
new creation. Yet, because not many in the Church
have been adequately taught how to bless and
receive blessings, we haven’t seen much results in
this regard. For example, when we say to someone,
“God bless you.” To some people, it’s a mere religious
platitude that doesn’t mean much. However, to the
spiritually enlightened, it’s an invocation of something
supernatural.
Why would God instruct Aaron and his sons to
bless the children of Israel, who were already a blessed
people? It’s because the pronouncement of blessings
activates the power for the blessings to work. He
told the priests what to say in pronouncing blessings
on the people; it’s in Numbers 6:24-27; study and
meditate on it. Even today, they still speak those words
of blessings. Now you understand why anything they
do prospers.
In your life, be blessings conscious. When you’re in
Church, for example, and the minister of God stretches
forth his hands or pronounces blessings, receive with
your spirit. Blessings flow through our hands and from
our words. The words of blessings spoken into your
life have power; they actually guide your life and lead
you in the path that God wants you to go.
Prayer
I’m Abraham’s seed and his blessings rest on me. I’m like a
tree by the stream, well-watered and ever flourishing, bearing
fruits of righteousness. Truly, the lines are fallen unto me in
pleasant places and I live in prosperity and victory every day.
Hallelujah!
