To Bless in the scriptural sense means to request for or to impart supernatural favour. When we ask for God's blessing, we're not requesting for more of what we could get for ourselves. We're crying out for the delightful, unlimited goodness that only God has the authority to give us.
Blessing was common in Bible days. People were often blessed by leaders before they departed. Jesus blessed the people in Luke 24:50:
"When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them."
People can offer blessing to God in songs of praise. Psalm 103:1-2 says,
"Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits."
God also blesses people by giving treasures and attending to their needs. His ultimate blessing is the pardon and forgiveness of sins! Romans 4:7-8 says,
"Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him."
God has all blessing and goodness. He wishes to bless you, so when you ask for God's blessing, you are requesting for precisely what He wants to give you! Matthew 7:7-8 says,
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened."
God has the power to bless whoever He chooses, whether that person asks for it or not. However, God wants us to ask. As you read in Matthew 7:7-8,
It says to ask, seek, and knock. Then it will be given to you!
Will you ask for God's blessings today?

God blesses his servants in so many ways. His blessings are our rewards for faithful service to him. God tells us that he is a jealous God. We definitely want to make our service to him whole-souled. Thanks for sharing.
Glory be to God that has all things in abundance. he is the one that blessed us even right from the creation. He created man and bless Him to be fruitful and multiply and dominate the world. We are blessed with divine health and wealth.
God is still blessing His people, we just have to be faithful in obeying the laid down principles.
His blessings are always sufficient, and through the blessings we are safe and alive today. Great work done @emmykey01

Recognize that God’s way is better than yours. Resist the desire to take matters into your own hands and instead trust Him for questions or problems you have. Remember Romans 15:13, which says, “I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit”

The blessings of God are infinite. When David sinned with Uriah's wife, God told him he would have given you more if you had not sinned. David was king and had riches but God said there was more.

The endowments of God are endless. At the point when David trespassed with Uriah's significant other, God disclosed to him he would have given you progressively on the off chance that you had not trespassed. David was above all else and had wealth yet God said there was more.

The favors of God are endless. At the point when David trespassed with Uriah's significant other, God disclosed to him he would have given you increasingly in the event that you had not trespassed. David was top dog and had wealth yet God said there was more.
