Hello Ladies and Gentlemen i send greetings from Ghana to you all
Many Christians got lost in the middle of their Christian life as a results of ungodly characters they exhibit. These characters goes the way round to have an impact on ones life.
When we read the book of Matthew 5:1-12, this is the "Sermon on the Mount". In this teaching of Christ he gave his disciples (Matthew 5:7). Here Christ use this teachings to define what makes a person a true Christian. When we look at the first part which talks of the Beatitudes, it spells out what true happiness means to Christians.
God promised us happiness but this came with a condition. When talking of blessing, it goes beyond happiness. This is of internal bless and peace his favour are always with those who belongs to Him. When we read deep down we can see it clear that blessedness between his kingdom and earthly kingdoms apart. This blessings are not earn but for those who sees themselves having the standards of what God requires. In humility and meekness they seek for God with all their heart.
Parishioners one thing i will stress on it here is that you are blessed because you are poor,hungry, thirsty or persecuted. But it come as a result from the desire for things of God, for His kingdom comes first.
Thanks for your time with me and I am @bigssam from #teamghana
