How to take possession of your blessing in Christ?

Many Christians live below their spiritual inheritance because they do not realize the riches that God has reserved for them in Christ. Yet, the Bible teaches that we are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).

How can we transform these promises into tangible reality in our daily lives? How can we walk in the blessings that God has already prepared for us? This article will give you essential keys to take possession of your divine inheritance and experience the fulfillment of God's promises in your life.

1. Knowing your inheritance in Christ

An heir who is unaware of his inheritance cannot benefit from it. Similarly, many believers do not enjoy God’s blessings because they do not realize what belongs to them in Christ.

Hosea 4:6 – "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."

Romans 8:17 – "Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ."

The first step to walking in blessing is to study God's Word to understand everything Christ has accomplished for us.

2. Walking by faith and not by sight

The blessing in Christ is a spiritual reality that becomes visible in our lives when we receive it by faith.

Hebrews 11:1 – "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."

God had promised Israel a land flowing with milk and honey, but only those who believed were able to enter it (Numbers 14:30). Likewise, we must believe and act according to God's promises to see them manifest.

3. Speaking and proclaiming God’s word

Our words have a spiritual impact. What we declare in faith shapes our destiny.

Proverbs 18:21 – "The tongue has the power of life and death."

Mark 11:23 – "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."

When we align our words with God’s truth, we create an atmosphere for His promises to be fulfilled.

4. Obeying god to walk in his blessing

Obedience to God is a fundamental key to taking possession of His promised blessings.

Deuteronomy 28:1-2 – "If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands, these blessings will come on you and accompany you."

James 1:22 – "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."

It is not just hearing the Word that changes our lives, but putting into practice what God tells us that opens the gates of heaven.
