A BLESSED PERSON
David Abankwah
READ: Matthew 5:3-12
⁷“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; ⁸Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”
-Romans 4:7-8 | NKJV
We have blessing, riches, and wealth. Many times we think that those who are rich and wealthy are blessed. Blessing is only attained when you serve God. Abraham was a very wealthy person having possessions of animals and servants. The people that Abraham fed everyday was like a whole town, but God told him to leave his father’s house so He could bless him. The blessing God wanted to give him was the seed of Christ or the Word of God. That was why his name had to be changed from Abram to Abraham (ham means seed). Today many Pastors make us realise or feel that blessing is riches and wealth. It is total foolishness!
They have made us realise that, travelling to abroad, getting secular job promotions, giving birth, having many properties and what have you are signs of divine blessings. If blessing is riches and wealth, then Abraham would have been a blessed person and needed not to leave his father’s house. If God says He will bless you, it is not about money or material gains. The blessing of God is for the soul and not the body. Blessing is what you have that no one can take it away from you (Luke 10:42). If the blessings of God is riches and wealth, then it is better to be a sinner or an unbeliever because such people have those things and in abundance.
