Blessing, a word very much thrown around in Christianity today and yet so naturally understood, is nothing else than the Triune God dispensed into us to be our everything for our enjoyment. When Melchizedek met Abraham after he fought for his brother Lot and won, he blessed him with God the Most High. When God commanded […]
We are Channels of Life and Priests to God to Overflow God to Others as Blessing
October 29, 2014 by 2 Comments
The principle of blessing is that the greater blesses the lesser; the meaning of blessing is that blessing is the overflow of God through someone’s maturity in life.

Because Joseph suffered and denied himself, he gained the riches of the life-supply; in the seven years of rich crops, he gathered the grain in many barns, and in the years of famine, everyone came to him to buy food. Christ as the real Joseph has all the food, and there’s a famine on the […]
