Bless me Lord
Numbers 6:24-26
The Lord bless thee and keep thee, The Lord make His face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give you peace

The passage above is the traditional blessing most ministers pronounce over their congregation after Sunday service.

To be blessed is to receive abundant favor from God.

Matthew 5:3-12 gives examples of instances when God gives His blessings. The passage says blessed are:
-Poor in spirit
-They that mourn
-They meek
-Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness
-Peacemakers
– Those who are persecuted for righteousness

It is a long list that can cover almost everybody in the kingdom of God

Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

This verse from the new testament adds another dimension of blessing, spiritual blessings apart from the long list given above. Some of these blessings are redemption through the blood of Jesus and forgiveness of sins

God has made enough provision for everybody.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Pray for God to bless you.

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn

There shall be showers of blessings
This is the promise of God
There shall be seasons refreshing
Sent from the Savior above
Showers of blessings
Showers of blessings we need
Mercy drops round us are falling but for the showers we plead
Amen
