“Blessed (Happy, fortunate, prosperous
and enviable)” –Amp. This is what every one of
us desires in his or her life. The way to receive this all-round
blessing is by living a godly life and abiding in the word of God.
In our world, we are constantly faced with temptation
to do the wrong things. These are things that ungodly people indulge
in, but which are contrary to the will of God. They deprive one of
the blessings God has promised those who walk with Him, and bring
curses and woes to ones life.
No one is beyond temptation. Satan, the tempter,
devices a lot of ways to entice and mislead people, but God expects
us to resist him if we are to enjoy His goodness on earth. Adam and
Eve yielded to temptation and were condemned and ejected from the
Garden of Eden. But Jesus, when he was tempted, refused to yield.
He overcame Satan by the word of God (Matt 4:1-11).
The word of God is a powerful instrument of victory
against Satan and his kingdom. When you know the word of God and
live by it, you experience constant victory and enjoy the full blessings
of the Lord. The true mark of a person who walks with God is that
he delights in the word of God – he meditates on it day and
night, and lives by it. That person’s life is fruitful, prosperous
and fulfilling. It flourishes like a tree planted by the rivers
of water (Ps 1:3). May that be your testimony in Jesus name.
