Email from Abiding Place Daily Bread – June 19, 2025 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) Proverbs 10:22 – The blessings of Yehovah causes one to become rich and no sorrow is added with it. The Importance of the Blessing of the Lord Blessings can come upon people because they inherit a blessing through the obedience of another (Genesis 12:3, 18:18, 26:4, 27:4, 28:4). When God blesses a person, it is usually evident in the material realm as well (Genesis 13:1, 24:35; Deuteronomy 16:15). When Isaac blessed Jacob, the blessing made Jacob ruler over his brethren and prince among his people. The blessing produced riches and honor and favor with God and man (Genesis 27:28-30). The blessing that was on Jacob extended to Laban (Genesis 30:27, 30). Jacob referred to his material riches as God’s blessing (Genesis 33:11). Jacob was a fighter for the blessing. Having the blessing was more important to Jacob than anything else, and even though the blessing of God had been proven in his life, yet he still struggled with God for more of the blessing (Genesis 32:26). The blessing of the Lord upon a person’s life can be conferred upon others by being associated with the one who is blessed (Genesis 28:4, 49:25-26). The blessing of the Lord causes all you put your hand to do to prosper so that you lack nothing (Deuteronomy 2:7). The blessing of the Lord takes away sickness (Exodus 23:25). The blessing of the Lord results in there being no poor among us (Deuteronomy 15:4). The blessing of the Lord causes all we set our hands to do to prosper (Genesis 30:30; Deuteronomy 16:15, 28:12). Today, God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the Heavenlies (Ephesians 1:3). Therefore, every realm of blessing producing every realm of prosperity is ours today if we are willing to believe. God sets before us the choice of life and blessings, or death and curses. Choose life and blessings, and let the Lord make you to be a praise and a blessing in the Earth (Deuteronomy 30:19; Jeremiah 33:9; Genesis 12:2; Galatians 3:9). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
