“Joseph is the foal of a wild donkey, the foal of a wild donkey at a spring— one of the wild donkeys on the ridge. Archers attacked him savagely; they shot at him and harassed him. But his bow remained taut, and his arms were strengthened by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel. May the God of your father help you; may the Almighty bless you with the blessings of the heavens above, and blessings of the watery depths below, and blessings of the breasts and womb. May my fatherly blessings on you surpass the blessings of my ancestors, reaching to the heights of the eternal hills. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph, who is a prince among his brothers.” Genesis 49:22-28
Fathers have divinely imposed powers which God confirms when invoked. They have power to bless and to curse. The father may be evil or good but he is still a father.
Blessings are words spoken on an individual, by a higher authority, to make him succeed or have something by all means, no matter the odds in that person’s life. Blessings are meant to change a person’s doom into destiny.
You may be a failure today but words of blessings will make you succeed by all means. You may be poor now but words of a father can clothe you with riches without struggle.
It is worthy to note that God confirms blessings imposed upon you by the father you actually honour. This why God says that children should honour their father and mother. “Honour your father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) – Ephesians 6:2.
The husband of a woman is also her father that can imposed blessings upon her. This is why on a wedding day the biological father hands over her to her original father which is her husband. This why women normally call their husbands Daddy.
Women don’t leave their father. But the man is to leave his father for his baby to be brought to him. “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” – Genesis 2:24.
Fathers are vessels of blessing on earth. Some fathers know this. As a result they keep blessing their children and their wives. David for instance decreed in blessing that his son Solomon will have gold from Sheba and it came to pass.
If you are a father, whether biological or spiritual, open your mouth and bless your children that honour you. You’re are God’s servant ordained to pour out blessings for God to confirm. “That (God)confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers” – Isaiah 44:26.
LET’S PRAY
Heavenly Father, give me grace enough to always remember that, blessing originates the outcome of person’s life.
AGREE WITH ME
You are a plant and you just need water to flourish and bear fruit to fulfill your destiny. So, you need to be connected to the Source that never dry. I therefore decree and declare this morning “May your business, finances, career, academics, marriage, family, health, physical person and spiritual person be connected to the Fountain of life, by the Power of the Holy Spirit in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!”
