Who Is A Really Blessed Person? - Raising Zion

Just take a look around you😎; the places where you live, work and gather. It’s amazing to see couples, families, neighbours doing good and living a great lifestyle, going about with their own work.

They have everything they need — food, clothing, shelter, vehicles, money, property etc etc. Each of them busy in their own worlds, and yet feel responsible to take out time for their loved ones.

To sum up, God has blessed them all richly —physically and materially as well. Well, everyone wants to be blessed isn’t it? Who would want to live a below average lifestyle? Ask a poor man, he would also assuredly place his desire of living a great life🙂 Well!! of course, there is nothing wrong with any of this.

We also see the riches and wealth of Abraham, Issac and Jacob in the Bible. They were wealthy men during their times. God had blessed them greatly. Inspite of their abundance they still chose to live a life of faith.

4. One day, as Jesus was sharing the Word with the crowd, a woman loudly spoke saying – Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

7. Blessed are those who are corrected by God – For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? Hebrews‬ ‭12:6-7‬ ‭

8. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. Psalms‬ ‭41:1‬. ‭The “poor” mentioned here has 2 meanings. One, it refers to a literally poor person. Secondly, it also refers to those who are poor/weak in spirit.
