In this message, Pastor Temi reveals the heart of God’s blessing and calls us to live in its power. He explains that the “blessing” is not just a wish or material gain, but an invisible, empowering force that God places in our lives (Gen.1:28). Using the story of Jacob wrestling with God (Gen.32:24-28), Pastor Temi shows that we must persist in prayer and faith, saying “I won’t let You go until You bless me.” He reminds believers and seekers alike that we are children of Abraham by faith (Gal.3:29; Eph.1:3) – meaning every spiritual blessing is already ours. The key is shifting our mindset from seeing blessings as future gifts to walking in our already blessed identity.
Pilot Text: Genesis 32:24-28
Key Takeaways
✅ Already Blessed in Christ: As believers we are heir to Abraham’s covenant (Gal.3:28-29; Eph.1:3) Blessing precedes fruitfulness. Physical results are the evidence of God’s blessing
✅ Persistence Like Jacob: Just as Jacob held on all night until God renamed him Israel, “struggled…and prevailed” (Gen.32:28), we too must hold fast in prayer and faith until we see God’s promises fulfilled
✅ Covenant Protection: We operate under God’s protective blessing. We don’t curse others, because we know we are too blessed to be cursed.
✅ Unchanging Blessing through Change: Our destiny is not derailed by life’s fluctuations. Even if circumstances shift (rules change in jobs or finances), God’s blessing is unmovable.
✅ Be a Channel of Blessing: We are called to be carriers of God’s blessing to others. Associate with people of faith and blessing; your faith can draw blessings into your circles.
