How To Obtain God's Blessings

Material or financial blessing, are also considered as blessing. But there is more important of all kinds of blessing, and that is spiritual blessing. Nehemiah 2:20 says “The God of heaven is the one who will grant us success?”

1. Be humble – James 4:6 - God gives grace to the humble “He that exalts himself shall be humble but he that humble himself shall be exalted”. Humble yourself therefore under the mighty hand of God for he will exalt you in due time.
2. Be industrious – Luke 12: 43 – That salve whose master finds himself working when he comes will be rewarded. Laziness will lead us to poverty.
3. Be identified with Christ – I Timothy 4:12 – be an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. People must see the likeness of God in you. Good deeds will glorify God.
4. Be often – Luke 6:38 – Give and it shall be given unto you. Proverbs says, kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord, and he gives reward to the lender. For us to obtain blessing, giving is the key, for God loves a cheerful giver.

The Life of a Christian

Proverbs 30:19 - the way of an eagle is in the sky”. It is compared to the lifestyle of a Christian. First and foremost, to be an eagle, you must be born an eagle. In other words, to be a Christian, you must be born a Christian, you need to be born again which means there must be newness in life or newness in character.

Secondly, eagle loves storms. For eagles, storms are beneficial. One reason is, it will cause the eagle to fly higher and faster. So, for Christians, storms or trials will cause you to move to a higher level. Trials will give you perseverance and patience. The other reason is, storms will allow the eagle to use less effort. The stronger the storms, the lesser the strength exerts the eagles. Trials will allow Christians to depend on God and not to depend on its own strength.


Thirdly, eagles are faithful to their mate. Faithfulness is essential to a Christian. If you are not loyal to your mate whom you see, neither shall you to be loyal to God whom you not see. Be faithful unto the end and you shall receive the crown of life.
