Not only can you achieve it—you are supposed to be it! The Blessing of the Lord causes those who participate in it to operate outside the world’s system and circumstances. Let me give you some steps to becoming the most blessed person you know!

From the start, I’d like to show you where I learned these steps. Jeremiah 17:7-8 AMP is posted on my refrigerator and I read these words daily. It says, “Most blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.” Isn’t that awesome! Now, let’s look at each step.

Step One: Believe in the Lord. 2 Chronicles 20:20 tells us, “Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

Step Two: Trust in and rely on the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.” I recite this verse daily as well.

Step Three: Hope in the Lord. Psalm 147:11 declares, “The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.”

Step Four: Be confident in the Lord. I love the way Hebrews 10:35-39 puts it, “Cast not away therefore yourconfidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

These steps will bring you into the fatness of the Blessing. You will bear and continue to yeild fruit. How can you work this Word and not prosper? Whatever you do will prosper! The world is experiencing many forms of drought. Notwithstanding this, Jeremiah says that we would not even see or fear when heat comes. How so? Believe, trust, hope and put your confidence in God. And as a result, you will be the most blessed!

Be blessed friends, and have the perfect day everyday!

Psalm 138:8
