The Blessing Of A Father

Apostle Grace Lubega

Hebrews 11:20-21 (KJV); By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

I have known Christians who are always moving from one man or woman of God to the next seeking a word of prophecy. If a man of God does not prophecy over them, they assume that they cannot walk in the blessing of God upon their lives.

Prophecy and prophets are important and I do not mean to disqualify them in any way.

However, the blessing of your spiritual authority does not exist only in the prophetic office.

A man of God does not have to be in a specific office in order to pronounce a blessing over your life.

This is what our theme scripture reveals.

It says, “By FAITH Isaac BLESSED Jacob and Esau concerning things to come…By FAITH Jacob, when he was a dying, BLESSED both the sons of Joseph…”

Isaac did not receive a vision about his sons before he blessed them. Jacob did not first hear what God was saying about the sons of Joseph before he blessed them.

The scripture says, “By FAITH…”

The blessing of your spiritual authority is by faith, and we know how faith comes, by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).

Your authority only needs to know the way of the Word to bless you.

Never despise the words of a man or woman of God simply because they are not prophetically spoken.

If he or she has enough of the Word of God in his or her spirit, that is enough authority to pronounce a blessing over your life.

Purpose to always be humble that you may receive as blessing even the most lightly spoken words. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

The blessing of your spiritual authority is by faith, and we know how faith comes, by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Your authority only needs to know the way of the Word of God to bless you. If he or she has enough of the Word of God in his or her spirit, that is enough authority to pronounce a blessing over your life.

PRAYER: My precious Father, I thank You for this Word for today. Thank You for these instructions in the patterns of true blessing. I yield to the word that I hear from my spiritual authorities because therein is my blessing. My heart is responsive to every proclamation on the altar and in those priceless benedictions, I walk in glorious victory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
