Focus: Divine Blessing

Text: Num.6:22-27

"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall BLESS the children of Israel, saying unto them, The LORD BLESS thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face SHINE upon thee, and be GRACIOUS unto thee: The LORD lift up his COUNTENANCE upon thee, and give thee PEACE. And they shall PUT MY NAME upon the children of Israel, and I will BLESS them."

God wants you blessed in every facet of your life, and no man can be anything in this life without His blessing.

You succeed in life by God's blessing, efficient planning, and hard work.

God tells Moses to tell Aaron and his sons how to bless God's people. In other words, God delights on seeing His people blessed. Hard work works because of God's blessing. Your life makes sense because of God's blessing. Your career or enterprise succeeds because of God's blessing. Your labor becomes productive because of God's blessing. You prosper in what you do because of God's blessing.

God has given me the mandate to bless you in His name, and as Balaam would say, "Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it" (Num.23:20). This is an irreversible blessing that I release from God to you.

I declare that in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I bless you. The Lord will protect you. The Lord's face will shine on you. You shall experience the graciousness of your God. The Lord will focus and concentrate His face upon you. The Lord is granting you His gift of shalom. I invoke the Lord's name upon your life. The Lord Himself says to you, "And I will bless them." That means that God endorses and guarantees you the certainty and reality of the blessings as declared by me in His name.

Live in the Lord's blessing! Enjoy the Lord's blessings! Share your blessings with others! You will testify of the illimitable liberality of your God. I declare you utterly blessed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!
