Positioning for a blessed life
Since we now know that God’s intention for mankind is that each one of us should lead a
blessed life (Genesis 1:28) and that he has already placed our blessings in the spiritual realm to be
revealed to us (John 16:15-16), it is time for us to know, how to tap into that blessing. To tap
into the blessing of God for our lives, we need to prepare. We need to understand that even
though God releases the blessing, we cannot still be blessed, if we do not know how to position
ourselves to receive the blessing of God. The Question to answer is “How do we position
ourselves to receive the blessing of God”. Positioning involves multiple thronged approach to
receive the blessing of God.
1. Setting the condition of our heart: As long as the heart is filled with the things of the
World, it cannot see the things of the Spirit. Why? The World controls the people with
doubt, fear, unbelief, pride, jealousy and so on. When our hearts are filled with these, our
thinking also is in the similar fashion. The Word of God says in the book of Proverbs 23:7 “7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he”. What is our heart saying about our lives? This is the
question we need to ask ourselves. If we do not change our thinking pattern, we will always
be under the strongholds of the World’s thinking. If we are under the authority of the
World’s think, we will believe and live according to what the World tells. That is why Paul
writes in the book of Romans 12:2 saying “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this
world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then
you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” The
world rules us with something called as Fear but we know that the Word tells us 2 Timothy 1:7
saying “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-
discipline.” God makes a clear statement that we are not given the spirit of fear which
means, if we are living under fear, we are under the authority of the devil. Because the Spirit
of fear is not from God since it is from the Devil. The Word also teaches us in the book of
Colossians 3:5-10 saying” 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly
nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because
of these, the wrath of God is coming. [b] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you
once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage,
malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have
taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being
renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.” All these things hinder us from accessing
