TOPIC: THE PRESERVATION POWER OF THE BLESSING
SCRIPTURE: Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Job 1:9–10
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The blessing does not only give; it guards. It does not only increase; it insulates.
It is not enough to only talk about the Blessing; it is important that we understand it. When understanding comes, faith becomes stronger. When understanding comes, confidence increases.
It is important to know that the Blessing did not only make Job increase; the Blessing also secured what it increased. The Blessing did not only multiply Job’s substance; it built a hedge of protection around him, his house, and all he had.
Here are three foundational truths about the Blessing:
- The Blessing of God is an asset of unquantifiable value.
The Blessing of God is an asset whose value cannot be measured. It is beyond money, property and influence. You cannot quantify the Blessing because its value surpasses material resources.
Money can be counted. Houses can be numbered. Cars can be numbered and valued. But the Blessing of God cannot be accurately calculated. It is an invisible spiritual asset with visible physical results. That is why a man may not look impressive on the outside, but because he carries the Blessing, his life keeps moving forward.
- The Blessing of God carries preservation power.
When people hear “Blessing,” they think of money, wealth, favor, fortune, and resources. But the Blessing does not only produce wealth; it carries preservation power. It protects what it produces.
There are people who make money but cannot keep it. There are people who rise but cannot sustain their rise. There are people who build but cannot preserve what they built. But when the Blessing is at work, what is produced is preserved.
The Blessing does not only give; it guards. It does not only increase; it insulates.
- The Blessing does not endanger the carrier; it preserves the carrier.
In the unbelieving world, when someone becomes wealthy he or she begins to look for protection against misfortune and premature death. When someone gets promoted people will begin to warn them to be careful because of envious and wicked people. But that is the opposite of the Blessing.
When God blesses you, you are not at the risk of being destroyed by haters or wicked people. Why? Because the Blessing positions the blessed in a realm beyond the reach of wickedness – Isaiah 33:15–16; Job 1:10.
Now, how does the Blessing preserve?
- The Blessing establishes the Presence of the Lord around the life of the blessed, and the Presence of God is a preservative of life and destiny – Psalm 91:1–2.
- The Blessing secures God’s Backing and Defence
The blessing comes with divine backing and defence – Genesis 20:3; Genesis 31:24.
- The blessing establishes the terror of the Lord
The Blessing releases divine dread around the blessed – Genesis 9:1–2
- The Blessing Impacts Strength and Might
A blessed man is a strong man. Strength is not only physical; it can also be spiritual and mental – Genesis 26:16
Remember This: The blessing does not only give; it guards. It does not only increase; it insulates.
