The Blessing Is Not Material

if you have a good Bible efficience chapter 1 verse 3 officience chapter 1 verse number 3 blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who have who have blessed us so the blessing of God for us is past things who have blessed us God is not going to bless us because God has already blessed us in Christ who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly in Christ so we are already blessed this deals with the finished work of Christ in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 12 Hebrews chapter 10 verse 12 but this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever sat down we our sins are concerned the work has been finished after years offered one sacrifice for sins forever sat down on the right hand of God he has already settled the matter of sin forever next verse put up the next verse for me from henceforth expect until his enemies be made his footstool by the church next verse for by one offering he had perfected forever them that are sanctified that is the finished work of Christ now we have the finished work of Christ we have the ongoing work of Christ we have the unfinished work of Christ the finished work of Christ is what Christ has done to purchase our salvation and to offer us eternal life eternal Redemption and he as part of it he offered us the blessing he has blessed us with all spiritual blessings we are not in need of blessing we have been blessed the problem is that over the years in the church blessings have been compared or has been attributed to material things but through Bible blessing is not in material in fact the inheritance of the believer is not in material that's why Paul put is like this he has begotten us again unto a lively hope to an inheritance incorruptible incorruptible undefiled that fadeth not away reserved for us in heaven so the inheritance given to us is incorruptible meaning it is not Material it is incorruptible it is undefiled so the blessing is not tangible so he has blessed us we are already blessed the reason why many people think they are not blessed is because they think in terms of material things I don't have the God I don't have money I don't have the wife I don't have children I am NOT blessed that is Canali t that is not doctrine because the blessing is not in material the book of Romans chapter 4 Romans chapter 4 verse 4 now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace but of death next verse but to him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly his faith is counted for righteousness next verse even as david also describeth describeth the blessedness of the man unto whom god imputeth righteousness without works does the blessing the blessing is when God in puts on a man righteousness without works when God looks at you and says you are righteous is irrespective of what you have done but because you believe in Jesus what Jesus has acquired is credited to your account when that happens you are call a blessed man so that's why Paul writing to the church at Ephesus says you have been blessed because it is part of what Jesus acquired in his death a resurrection for the believer can I get a shot I am blessed can I help very loud I am blessed now say louder my sins are forgiven look at Colossians chapter 1 verse 14 Colossians chapter 1 verse 14 in whom we have redemption through his blood even the forgiveness of sins watch this forgiveness of sins next class who is the image of the invisible God the firstborn of every creation now watch this we have the forgiveness of sins we have been blessed all right the book of Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7 Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace so when the Bible talks about riches in the New Testament he is not talking about money anchor and properties he is talking about what Christ has acquired for us the riches of God are not Material the riches of God is what Christ has acquired for us in his death burial and resurrection that is why he puts it up according to the riches of His grace that means forgiveness of sin is a product of the riches of His grace and forgiveness of sin is not in material according to the riches of His grace Colossians chapter 1 verse 26 Colossians chapter 1 verse 26 even the mystery which had been hid from ages and from generations but now is made manifest to his Saints to whom God will make known God will make known what is the riches of the glory when you read Philippians 4:19 but my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory it's not talking about material things because now he will make known Colossians 1:27 he will make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles what is the riches of the glory which God uses to supply our needs the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles to whom god will make known make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles what is the riches of the glory which is Christ in you now that's not in material so when you read Ritchie's it's not talking of cars and houses when you read riches in the scriptures he is making reference to what Christ has provided which is intangible which is a material which has nothing to do with material possessions so a believer is not defined by his acquisitions a believer is defined in Christ watch this that the communication of your faith may become effectual how by the acknowledging of every good thing that is rare in you because you are where in Christ so the riches of God's glory is Christ in you Anoka house or no house money in the bank or no money in the bank you are blessed Segawa Daaga I say you are blessed who has if it was material that will not be passed things if it was material if the cow was the blessing it will be pass things it will be who will bless us because there are many who don't have come but their sins are forgiven there are many who don't have houses but they have rise in them they don't have physical house but they are God's house somebody's not hearing me this night they don't have a physical house but they're themselves they are God's house that's why the man is rich the man is rich he doesn't have any house in the physical he is a tenant in somebody's house he is renting somebody sells to live even his landlord is threatening him to flush him out because he has no parents that's not that the ximena is okay not to pay rent but sometimes you get into situations where you're not able to pay at a particular time and your landlord read things you are we'll together here but yet irrespective of the fact that you don't have the house here you are the house where God lives is that Minority a Monica house divinity a magnet and can accommodate the creator of heaven and earth the land where people build houses the creator of it lives in Emma Fatima kata the man that does not have a house is house in the almighty is that my knowledge so anybody defining you by your house and car is canal it's far from God and I don't blame them first John 3:1 first John 3:1 behold somebody said Behold so to understand Allah say you must behold behold what manner of love the father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God now watch the next sentence therefore the world knoweth us not because it knew him not to know me you have to know him so they cannot define you well because they don't know him meaning if the world is using material wealth to define success we believe us material wealth is not success you're not successful because you are the car you can have a car and yet miserable on that teaching booth you can have money millions and billions and you're the most frustrated depressed weak oppressed individual or no wonder Jesus puts it like this a man's life does not consist in the abundance of things he possesses then in asses and if our hope is only in this world that is if all that gives you joy is a car money success you know connection contract if that's what gives you joy you're the most miserable man on earth meaning we are not defined by material acquisition and it was settled at one first if only our hope is just in this world where of most men most miserable but we have a life better than what this world can offer it's called a riches in glory to whom God will make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles which is christ where shaka where is Christ in you the hope the confident expectation of glory somebody shot ah here you go back to that Colossians 1 the Holy Ghost call my attention to a vast the other bless me 128 watch this whom will preach nagoba 227 face which is Christ in you the hope of glory whom we preach we don't preach it we don't preach things we preach whom will preach a person whom we preach our preaching is my center of material acquisition our preaching is on a passing Christ the hope of glory whom we preach that's what any preaching should be the preacher should be about Christ whom we preach warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus how are we able to present every man perfect in Christ Jesus when we preach a womb when we preach a passion when we preach the passing of Christ to you as the message we will succeed in presenting you perfect whom we preach Christ in you whom we preach one in every man and teaching every man and presenting every man perfect in Christ Jesus the perfection is not in my effort the perfection is in Christ Jesus but this man he has perfected forever them that are sanctified Scriptures only present grace through faith in Christianity Scriptures only present grace through faith in Christianity grace through faith in Christ only no other addition grace through faith in Christ only that's what scripture presents grace through faith in Christ only there's no other way does the bias of the Scriptures the Old Testament books of the Bible which can never kill towards what it never for once presented in his compiler son of God's plan for Humanity what it means is what the scripture never meant when it was written it will never mean forever when the Scriptures we are reaching what it never meant at the time it was written it will never mean meaning the original intent for the writing of the scripture remains is intent forever no matter the changing times the scriptures don't change to suit times the scriptures remain forever settled it is times that changed to suit scriptures so if the blessing is what Christ has done before today the blessing is still what Christ has done in 10 years time the blessing will still be what Christ has done even if the owner of Facebook becomes a member of power city he is not more blessed than you judging good with all his billions if he gets born again he is not more bless than you because the blessing is not immaterial the blessing is what Christ has done that's why you don't you don't give a man of God money for blessing he is not Christ and Christ didn't require money to bless you and to Julia the blessing is the forgiveness of sins and it has been done freely so the Scriptures or the message of the gospel is faith grace through faith in Christ only you
