Sherry Ivy: This is the year for God’s overflowing blessings

By Sherry Ivy • January 8, 2022

God is a God of abundance and this is the year He’s releasing His overflowing blessings in our lives. They will be showers of blessings far more than we will ever imagine, not just in our lives but our children’s lives too. “I will bless my people and their homes around my holy hill. And in the proper season I will send the showers they need. There will be showers of blessing.” (Ezekiel 34:26) NLT

Every part of this year, from the beginning to the ending, is crowned with God’s overflowing blessings. He’s going to bless us so our carts will overflow with His blessings, favor, provision and protection. “You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance.” (Psalm 65:11) NIV

Some people had to borrow money last year to keep their business open due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, God said, this is the year for your business to be blessed beyond your greatest imagination and exceed your expectations because of His overflowing blessings. “For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.” (Deuteronomy 15:6) NKJV

When we have a giving heart to help others, God promises to give back to us, and this is the year for God’s overflowing blessings. “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luke 6:38) KJV

For everything we have lost over the years, God is going to restore it back to us double like He did Job. For this is the year for His overflowing blessings. “And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.” (Job 42:10) NKJV

Everyone that has been faithful in honoring God with their tithe, Get Ready! This is the year for God’s overflowing blessings. They will be so great until we will not be able to contain them. “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” (Malachi 3:10) KJV 

So be encouraged today and always remember: This is the year for God’s overflowing blessings. “Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.” (Deuteronomy 28:6) KJV
