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.

Father,
please given me seed to sow for bountiful harvest in Jesus’ Name.
