Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it. - Numbers 23:20
When king Balak asked Balaam to curse the children of Israel while they were camping in the plains of Moab, Balaam was not able to curse them but instead blessed them three times. As a side note, Balaam was the only one recorded in the bible to have a conversation with his donkey.
Each time king Balak asked Balaam to curse the children of Israel, Balaam would bless them according to the word God had put in his mouth. Most importantly, those blessings are irrevocable! No one can put a curse on a person who God has blessed! That's the promise of God.
Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, "Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him— and indeed he shall be blessed." - Genesis 27:33. In this passage, whoever is blessed can never be cursed again!
Now at the cross some two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ was crucified on our behalf and He took all our curses upon His own body so that no curse can land on us today. For cursed is him who hang on a tree. At the same time, all the blessings in the bible are ours to proclaim for Christ did not redeem us from the blessings. Instead, He has blessed us with every spiritual blessings. He has blessed us and we shall be blessed!
We shall be blessed coming in and going out. We are blessed to be the head and not the tail. We are favored in our every endeavor. We have the blessings of Abraham upon our lives! When King Melchizedek met Abraham after his victory over three kings, His first word was "Blessed". We are blessed to be fruitful in our lives, every aspect of it! We are blessed with robust health and material blessings.
Today, God only wants to shower us with His blessings. And whoever God has blessed, he shall be blessed and the blessing is irrevocable! Receive His blessings with thanksgiving and gladness for they are undeserved, unmerited and unearned. They are ours for Christ has been crucified on our behalf at the cross some two thousand years ago! It is His finished work that qualifies us to receive God's blessings.
We don't have to work for God's blessings. We just simply receive them into our lives. No toilsome labor can qualify us for God blessings. For the blessings are paid for by the precious blood of Jesus at the cross! it is God's grace that we can be blessed.
Stop cursing ourselves for the wrongs that we have done. Look to the cross and be conscious of the finished work of Jesus at the cross for at the cross, all our sins, past, present and future, have been forgiven. Receive the blessings from God and stay blessed all the times. Hallelujah!
