Life and destiny and everything is not just about being smart, being calculative and working hard. It is very good to be smart, intelligent and to work hard, these are the things that add colour to man's life. But the life and the success of a man is far beyond the ability of man.The bible says in 1 Corinthians 1:19, 20 "...I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." Also in the book of Ecclesiastes 9:11, the bible says "the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all.""...It is not of him that wills nor of him that runs but of the Lord that shows mercy."Romans 9:16A lot of people who can do so many things, if God did not showcase them and show them mercy by giving them chance in life to manifest, it will be like as if they are not doing some things right no matter what they know or what they can do.Now, a blessing is a pronouncement of invoking divine aid; it is an act of declaring or bestowing favour on someone or on something. It is the evidence of the seal or approval of heaven on someone or on something and the opposite of a blessing is a curse.This is just the difference between those with godly success and the strugglers in life.We have seen people who struggled vigorously, do things with passion and zeal, people who are very committed and consistent and yet, it's like the more they try, the more it seems success is far from them.And some did just little thing and that little things they do, before people, it looks like they are the ones that know how to do those things best even when it is not so.One of the characteristics of God is that whenever He did something or He wants to achieve a purpose in someone, the first thing He (God) does is that He places His seal on that thing or on that person.In the book of Genesis 1:22, When God created all the creatures from the beginning, the bible says that "and God blessed them saying, be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."Verse 28 says that "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."The only thing that will qualify a man or a thing to have good and lasting success in life is the presence of this seal of God called "The blessing". Read Psalm 84:5-12.One of the pieces of evidence of "the blessing" of God is uncommon grace and the overflowing anointing which I know that everyone, even unbelievers desires.Besides, like success in life has levels and are in measures so it is that the blessing of God also has measurements.This is why there are different kinds of blessings like a general blessing and the provoked blessing. The bible says that "God so love the world that He gave..."This is a general blessing, but for those that accept Jesus and follow His way till the end of their lives will enter into provoked blessing. I pray that the Holy Spirit, the great teacher, will open you up to the mystery of this part of God called "Blessing" as you read this blessed book, may the power of God through this book ministration turn your life around to operate here on earth with uncommon anointing and grace that makes one stand out, in all area of life in Jesus name.
