4 Ways God’s Blessing Will Increase and Advance Your Situation

You’ve heard the expression, “Work smarter, not harder.” That can be true to a certain extent, but your work alone will not increase and advance you for God’s blessings. His ways are higher than your ways and His thoughts are higher than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). He looks at every situation from a completely different vantage point than you do.

When you align yourself with God's ways, you position yourself for growth and advancement in your life and in God’s kingdom.

Let’s look at 4 Ways God’s Blessings Will Increase and Advance Your Situation.

God’s Blessings Will Make You Prosperous

“The blessing of the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.” –Proverbs 10:22

Abram left home and moved to the land of Canaan, which became the land God gave him and his descendants: the Promised Land. There, God blessed Abram and changed his name to Abraham. That’s when God made a covenant with Abraham to give his descendants a large portion of land, if they didn’t turn away from Him.

Abraham was blessed with cattle, silver and gold, all because he believed and obeyed God. He had God’s blessings.

When you received Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you received those same blessings. Just like with every promise of God, you must believe that, speak it and activate it by faith.

Abraham activated his faith by saying his new covenant name, which means “father of many nations.” Every time he spoke his name, he was confirming his faith in God’s Word to give him and Sarah a son. That’s how Abraham fulfilled God's promise that he would be the father of many nations.

In the same way, you must speak the desired result of God’s blessings in your life. Speak them even before you see them. Like Abraham, say what you don’t yet see; that’s faith (Romans 4:17).

God’s Blessings Will Promote You

“The houses will be richly stocked with goods you did not produce. You will draw water from cisterns you did not dig, and you will eat from vineyards and olive trees you did not plant.” –Deuteronomy 6:11

God doesn’t want you to toil, struggle or rely on men to be promoted in any area of your life. His blessings will increase and advance you even when you aren’t qualified in the natural.

You can’t make it happen, so allow God’s blessings to do the work. Allow God to promote you, and you’ll see advancements you never dreamed possible.

As Kenneth Copeland says, “THE BLESSING will make a somebody out of a nobody.”

Do you remember the story of Joseph? He was sold into slavery and eventually was put into prison. There was nothing Joseph could do to promote himself. But God’s blessings were with him, and He delivered him from prison and promoted him to the second-in-command of the nation of Egypt.

What did Joseph do to be promoted that you can do? He trusted God. He didn’t stop being a man of integrity; he didn’t get angry with his brothers or the people who put him in prison, and he didn’t dwell on past regrets. Joseph believed in God and was blessed to be promoted to a position of high authority. You can be encouraged, too!

God’s Blessings Will Defend You

“But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from Me. I, the LORD, have spoken!” –Isaiah 54:17

When you’ve been wronged, you don’t have to fight your own fight. God says that He will fight for you so you can hold your peace and remain at rest (Exodus 14:14). God’s blessings will defend you.

If you humble yourself, God’s blessings will even prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies (Psalm 23:5). Clothe yourself with humility.

In fact, in the midst of a battle, Moses reminded the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm” (Exodus 14:13-14).

You can trust that the Lord will justify you and make sure that no weapon formed against you will succeed!

God’s Blessings Will Preach the Gospel

“And then he told them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.’” –Mark 16:15

It’s enjoyable to discuss the ways God’s blessings can enrich you, promote you and protect you; but above all, God’s blessings preach the gospel to a lost world. When you’re living in God’s blessings, you have the time, energy, money and anointing to minister to others; and you’re an example of what it looks like to be a child of the Most High God.

When you’re walking and living in God’s blessings, you shine as a light in a dark world. People will naturally be drawn to you; they’ll want what you have! Everyone wants to live a blessed life, and you’ll help them get there. The blessings are the gospel of Jesus Christ! Take them and be the witness He’s called you to be.

It’s time to put God’s blessings to work in every area of your life! Any place where you’ve been held back, there’s only one thing missing—God’s blessings—no more toiling, no more struggling and no more guesswork. Enjoy God’s blessings and watch Him increase and advance your situation.
