Don’t Apologize for Being Blessed!
In a recent conversation, I was asked for a sum of money to be given away. The person making the request stated, “ you know you got it.” My response was, yes I do! As the conversation continued, the person said, “it’s not fair that you have it and are so blessed." My response was, let me tell you how I got to this point, and how you can get there. I said to the person, I am not bragging, but let me testify about the goodness of God. If God didn’t want you and me to be blessed, He never should have given us the formula here in the word of God.
Based on Deuteronomy 28:1-2, states, “If you fully obey these commands, all these blessings will come upon you and accompany you. You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the field; the fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock, the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks; Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed; You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out; The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven; The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you; The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity; The Lord will open the heavens the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none; The Lord will make you the head, not the tail.”
I went on to share you’re looking at my glory, where I am without investigating my story. In years past, I may not have had, but when I became obedient to God’s word there was a shift. I remember feeling guilty in days passed that I was so blessed. But, when I read this passage of scripture it is God’s desire that we be overtaken with blessings. No longer do you and I have to apologize, feel guilty or keep it on the down low for what God has done, is doing, and will do! Share this blog with a friend, family member, co-worker even your enemy they too can live life as blessed as you.
Let me hear your feed back!
This is an empowering word. I've often felt like I should down play the blessings we've rec'd. I never wanted anyone to think I was bragging,I didn't want anyone to feel badly because they didn't have what we'd been blessed with and I didn't want to lose our blessing.(like my adverary would snatch it away) I've been meditating on this scripture for the past 3 weeks and have begun to claim some things based on it. Thank you. I'm blessed by your teaching, your inspiration and to be seated in the empowerment zone. It's a place of liberation for God's people. May God continue to use you and bless you in every area of your life.
