Blessed With Every Pneumatikos Blessing

Ephesians 1:3
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.

God’s Word tells us that we have been blessed with “every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ”. But some people think that the term “spiritual blessing” refers to only non-visible and intangible blessings like peace and joy. To them, God’s promise of “every spiritual blessing” excludes the tangible blessings of health, prosperity, a healthy marriage and so on. They say things like “Don’t expect God to remove this tumour because our blessings are only spiritual”.

Now, these people do not understand what the word “spiritual” here means. In the Greek, the word is pneumatikos, which in this context means having properties and characteristics belonging to the Spirit of God. So if you have the pneumatikos blessing of health, for example, it means that it is of the Spirit of God, and therefore does not depend on your exercising or dieting.

A church member had high blood pressure which did not normalise even after he started exercising and eating well. So he simply believed that a normal blood pressure was a pneumatikos blessing from God. He stopped focusing on exercising and even stopped it after a while. He also relaxed his dieting regime. In a short time, his blood pressure came down to a healthy level!

The same goes for the pneumatikos blessing of prosperity. It does not depend on our toiling seven days a week or monitoring the stock market closely.

A church member, who owns a small company, received her pneumatikos blessing of prosperity when she believed that God would cause her small company to be publicly listed. He did. In fact, the company was over-subscribed 10 times within the first week!

Later on, it even made inroads into Dubai in the Middle East. For a woman to find favour in a male-dominated society like Dubai, it can only be the pneumatikos blessing of favour, which is not subject to the laws of man.

My friend, believe that you have received every pneumatikos blessing, and you will find yourself enjoying blessings that are eternal, just as God is eternal, and of a quality that only the Spirit of God can give!
