SEEDS OF DESTINY🔥
A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE BY DR PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE (DUNAMIS INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL CENTER)
DATE: WEDNESDAY, 9TH SEPTEMBER, 2026.
TOPIC: BLESSING INDEED.
SCRIPTURE: And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Blessing indeed is the dimension of divine life that money cannot buy.
Blessing is not the same as “Blessing indeed.” Jabez did not just say, “Bless me,” rather, he says “Bless me indeed.” This reveals a higher dimension of blessing that goes beyond material supply and financial increase.
Ordinary blessings may refer to resources, provisions, and material additions, and Scripture confirms this in Proverbs 10:22 that the blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow. Yet blessing indeed goes deeper. It is not limited to what money can afford or what human systems can supply.
Blessing indeed is the dimension of God’s life manifested in a man. It is the reality of carrying what money cannot purchase and what human effort cannot manufacture. A man can have resources and still lack blessing indeed.
One of the highest manifestations of the blessing indeed is the Presence of God. When Jabez said, ...that Thy hand might be with me..., he was asking for God’s Presence, because the Hand of God represents His active involvement in a man’s life.
In Genesis 39:2 and 39:21, the Lord was with Joseph, and he became prosperous. God’s Presence brought mercy, favour, and distinction to Joseph even in slavery and imprisonment.
This shows that the Presence of God is not emptiness but fullness and abundance.
Exodus 33:14 shows us that God’s Presence guarantees rest: My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. Rest is not inactivity, but the absence of struggle. When God is with a man, unnecessary battles are removed from his life.
Jabez’s life was defined by sorrow, but he desired peace and rest. A man may have wealth and still lack peace, but the blessing indeed brings the atmosphere of peace.
We see this from Solomon’s experience in 1 Kings 5:4 – rest on every side, no adversary, no evil occurrence. This is divinely ordered peace, not human-managed stability.
Another dimension of the blessing indeed is the Hand of the Lord. The Hand of God represents divine ability, backing, and enforcement in human affairs.
When the Hand of God is upon a man, limitations give way and human resistance becomes irrelevant. In Ezra 7:6, the king granted Ezra all his requests according to the Hand of the Lord upon Ezra’s life. Divine backing can influence human systems and decisions.
The Hand of God makes ordinary men produce extraordinary results in life. The Hand of the Lord releases favour, access, and results beyond negotiation.
Beloved, blessing indeed is not just what is in your hand; it is what is upon your life. When God is with a man, such a man is loaded with Divine Presence, peace, favour, preservation, and authority.
REMEMBER THIS: Blessing indeed is the dimension of divine life that money cannot buy.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Seek God daily for His Presence above material things and ask for the Blessing of His Hand upon your life.
2. Intentionally pursue a life of peace by yielding every anxiety and care to God in prayer and trust.
PRAYER: Father, thank You for teaching me the meaning of blessing indeed. I receive Your Presence, Your peace, and Your Hand upon my life. Let my life reflect Your backing, causing every area of struggle to turn into rest, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
