Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
Ephesians 1:3
As a child of God, you need to know that God has already blessed you. As a matter of fact, you were born with God’s blessings. You have become an inheritor of God and a joint-inheritor with Christ because you are His child. Paul said in his letter to the church in Rome, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” (Romans 8:16-17)
You are an inheritor of God by birth. He qualified you to inherit all He is, all He has, and all He does when He gave birth to you. Apostle Paul, in his thanksgiving prayer for the Colossians, said,
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light” (Colossians 1:12).
You have been qualified to partake in the inheritance of the saints in light. The phrase “the inheritance of the saints in light” is a synonymous term with “His inheritance in the saints” used by Paul in
Ephesians 1:18 –
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what the hope of his calling is, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. Being a child of God makes you His heir. All that belongs to God now belongs to you.
This is why Paul by the Spirit said, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3)
If you are a child of God, understand that God has blessed you with all spiritual blessings.
These spiritual blessings are blessings of the spirit. There are no exceptions here. In other words, no child of God is excluded from these blessings.
Peter, in his second letter, stated, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter 1:3-4).
You do not need to run from pillar to pole to be blessed; the blessings of God are innate in His children.
You need to know that you’re blessed. This knowledge is critical in expressing these blessings.
This knowledge will impart on you so much that your mind will become renewed and productive.
Saints of God, you are blessed!
Confession
Dear Father, thank you for giving birth to me by your word; I’m indeed privileged to be your child. I am a blessed child of a blessed God who has freely given to me all that belongs to Him. Halleluyah!
