"Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation."
(Psalm 24:3-5, NKJV)
God wants you to receive every blessing that He has in store for you. In His Word, He tells you about His wonderful blessings, but He also tells you how to receive His blessings—by having clean hands and a pure heart.
How are we made pure and clean? By the blood of Jesus! We receive Him as our Lord and Savior and choose to live for Him. Most of the time, it’s not the big things that keep us from God’s best; it’s the small things. Maybe it starts with an offense that turns into unforgiveness. Maybe you watch something on TV or the internet that you know you shouldn’t, and it becomes a bad habit that steals your time and pollutes your mind.
Today, make the decision to let go of anything that would keep you from His blessings. Be a person of excellence and integrity. Treat others with respect and kindness and look for ways to be a blessing. Be determined to live a life that pleases God so that you can receive the abundance He has in store for you!
Father, thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses and renews me. I choose to turn away from anything that displeases You so that I can live righteously before You in Jesus’ name
Amen
We are carriers of GOD'S blessings.
We are the favoured ones, we are the elect of God and joint heirs with Christ
Thank you for your contribution

If we all have knowledge of the breadth and depth of what God has in store for us, we will strive much harder to make these blessings come to our lives faster and be able to fully enjoy them, but our lack of knowledge and weakness of the flesh often causes us to away from this, thank God we have the Holy Spirit to redargulle us and teach us each day to seek more and more of his presence to learn from his word and cleanse us through it renewing our mind, because only doing justice is that we can please to Almighty God, thank you for sharing this beautiful divine counsel. God bless you @phillipowolabi
Thank you Mrs.Michelle
You are right.....the bible says "That is only sin that keep Him away from us" but if we confess His just to forgive us our inquities.
Thanks @phillipowolabi
The Bible talks about those blessings:
(Ephesians 1:3-14 NIV) Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. {4} For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love {5} he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-- {6} to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. {7} In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace {8} that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. {9} And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, {10} to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. {11} In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, {12} in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. {13} And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, {14} who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory.
As for other blessings, God doesn't guarantee us health, wealth, prosperity, glory, or honor in this life.
