TOPIC: DIVINE BLESSINGS FOR BELIEVERS
TEXT: Ephesians 1:3-14
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

INTRODUCTION TEXT
Every post in life has benefits and appurtenances attached to it. Similarly, today's passage enumerates divine blessings for believers in Christ. Firstly, we are blessed with EVERY spiritual blessing available in heavenly places (v..?). We are specially selected by God and set apart exclusively in Him. We tire accepted, forgiven and adopted as sons to be holy and guiltless, with legal access to the countless treasures of God's grace. His glorious grace has delivered and redeemed us from sin, bondages, curses and limitations. He gave us the privilege to know, decode His plans and unravel mysteries concerning our families, the Church, nations and generations. He also gave us His Holy Spirit as a guarantee of our inheritance in anticipation of eternal life in future.
So why are you still wallowing in sin, guilt, curses and bondages, when your redemption has been provided? Why are you at the confusing crossroads of decision when you have divine access to God's wisdom and Intelligence? Why are you seeking seers and false prophets when you can decode God's will concerning every area of your life? Arise, actively possess and appropriate your inheritance in Christ. Contend with anything that is preventing you from accessing God's provision so that you can fulfil God’s plan for you in Jesus' name.
Prayer: Oh God, please help me to understand and fully appropriate the divine blessings for all believers in Jesus' name.
