FOUR LEVELS OF BLESSING
Memorise: Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies my head with oil; my cup
runneth over. Psalm 23:5
Read: Luke 6:38, Bible in one year: 2nd Kings 11:21-13:25,
Luke 9:51-10:16
The level of God’s blessings on a person comes in different
categories. Although all categories of blessing are desirable,
only few people experience all the levels of blessing. Let’s
take a look at the four levels of blessing outlined in Luke
6:38. I believe an understanding of these will tremendously
bless your life.
The first level is the level of being blessed in good measure.
Good measure connotes just enough. This is the level of
blessing that the Israelites experienced in the wilderness.
They were blessed with manna just enough for their needs
each day (Exodus 16:16-18). The next level of blessing goes
beyond good measure. At this level, blessings are
compacted by being pressed down to make room for more.
When the blessing of God keeps coming at a steady does,
such that there is no room to contain it, there would be a
need to make the blessing dense by pressing it down; this
creates room to hold and receive more. This type of blessing
is described in Malachi 3:10. The next level of blessing goes
beyond the level of denseness achieved by pressing down.
At this level, blessing is made denser by shaking it together
after it has been pressed down. This creates the capacity to
have and hold more blessings at any given time. At this
level, the blessings are experienced in maximum dense
doses. The next and final level is a level where maximally
dense blessing keep coming as a steady stream, such that all
capacity to store and hold them is overwhelmed. At this
level, blessings begin to run over. Many years ago, I asked
my Daddy in heaven: “Why the wastage of blessings by
allowing them to run over? Why keep pouring after the cup
is full?” The answer I got was: so that the world could see
that He is the God who has more than enough.
There is a key of accessing any of the levels of blessing we
have described. This key is found in 2nd Corinthians 9:6:
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap
also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall
reap also bountifully.”
You must give before you receive, because the law of
harvest cannot be broken. The quantity and quality of your
sowing will determine the level of blessing you experience. I
pray that the seed you need to sow to take you to a higher
level shall be supplied to you this season in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point.
Father, please given me seed to sow for. bountiful harvest in Jesus’ Name.
