Every moment of the day, people are on the queue to gain one form of blessing or the other from God. This they do mostly through prayers. In their morning devotions, they ask God to bless the day for them. As they approach the office, they pray for favour from men. The quest of blessings goes on like that. Every now and then, man is queuing up for blessings.
We do not just do this, but it is also the expectation of everyone to be blessed and even get more of the blessings from above. This is not a greedy attitude but one that appreciates the importance of increase on every side. After all, it is the expectation of God that our path increase on a daily basis.
But one question I must ask you is that, how can you truly make these blessings real? God don’t have a problem in blessing us. The challenge is not on His part but ours. How can we make real the blessings of God in every area of our lives and most especially on the increase? As I help you understand this, you must appreciate the truth that God has blessed you with all kinds of blessings as would be needed by you for a successful living.
Giving a clue to the pursuit of God’s blessings, Jesus told a story of a man who called his servants and gave them talents (blessings) according to “their several abilities” as he was about to travel, (Matthew 25).
Each servant received talent that his ability can utilize. The servant that has abilities for five talents, received five talents, made investment with them and had a return of five more talents. This was similar to the servant that had two talents. The other servant had just an ability, so the master gave him one talent which he was even unable to invest.
I am not yelling at the servant that could not invest his talent. What I am passing across here is that you can never be blessed beyond the level of your abilities. It is your abilities, skills or gifts that would determine the level of blessings that you would ever receive from God. This means that God does not have a problem in blessing you nor will He set a limitation to the level of blessings you enjoy. The only limitation to the level of blessings you enjoy is the ability within you.
Once you can discover the abilities of God within you, then you have commenced the real pursuit of God’s blessings over your life. In a nutshell; the pursuit of blessings is the discovery of your inbuilt abilities and properly using them, because God cannot bless you beyond your several abilities. Discover your abilities today and plunge yourself into the ceaseless flow of God.
