Scripture:
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth”(Genesis 1:28)
Explanation;
Today we will explore and study a little further into the five dimensions of blessing at creation. After God (Elohim) has made man in their own image, then God blessed them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth”(Genesis 1:28). The bracha in Hebrews is the key to open the flow of the blessing of God into the world. The blessing of God is the Power of God or anointing which produces an increased prosperity. In the text above the blessing upon Adam was purposeful: Fruitfulness, multiplication, replenish the earth, to subdue and to have dominion over every living thing.
Following the fall of Adam, the blessing upon him was replaced with curses. The blessing and curses are two opposing force on mankind of goodness and evil, respectively.
The Bible contains instances of the blessing being released by God upon certain people but not to the gentiles:
Noah and his sons:
So, God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth (Genesis 9:1).
Abram before His name was changed to Abraham:
I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you (Genesis 17:6).
Jacob:
Also, God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body (Genesis 35:11).
Children of Israel:
But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
As Christians, by Law of faith, the blessing can now be accessed by faith:
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:13-14).
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).
But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ (Romans 15:29).
That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10).
You must Key to these fundamental scriptures, to access the five dimensions of blessing.
You will need to study and meditate upon these Word of God. In prayer, ask God to release the Power of the blessing. The blessing is yours in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Stay tune as we shall look continue further tomorrow. Remain uncommonly blessed.
Confession:
The blessing of God, the Power of God or anointing which produces an increased prosperity rest upon me today and forevermore. I declare the blessing to rest upon my life, family, business, ministry, and anything that I lay my hand to do. I receive Fruitfulness, multiplication, power to replenish the earth, to subdue and to have dominion over every living thing. Any hidden curse is broken in any area of my life. The word of God is in my mouth and as I meditate, it permeates to the deep part of my Spirit man, soul, and body. I obey and serve my God of Heaven, I shall spend my days in prosperity, and my years in pleasures (Job 36:11, NKJV). I prosper in my health even as my soul prospers in all my ways and have good success daily, monthly and all years to the Glory of God in the name of Jesus. I reject sickness and diseases. I bind Spirit of infirmity. I declare that no devil is permitted to attack my body as the Word of God gives me Divine health and healing. From today I declare my victory and protection through the Blood of Jesus in the name of Jesus.
