What Releases The Blessing?
I was listening to Dr. Creflo Dollar, and he identified some very important components to having
The Blessing of God working in your life.

There are four things that will enable The Blessing to be released into your life:
  1. Obedience to God
  2. Faithfulness
  3. Purity in Heart
  4. The Tithing Exchange

If the four things above release the blessing, the opposite of each of these will stop The Blessing from flowing in your life.

Now, let's take a deeper look at each of these:

Obedience

The easiest way to see the benefits of being obedient to God is to look at the first part of Deuteronomy 28:

Blessings for Obedience
1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully
follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high
above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and
accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
3 You will be blessed in the
city and blessed in the country.

4 The fruit of your womb will be
blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves
of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

5 Your basket and your
kneading trough will be blessed.

6 You will be blessed when you come in
and blessed when you go out.

7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who
rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one
direction but flee from you in seven.

8 The LORD will send a blessing on
your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless
you in the land he is giving you.

9 The LORD will establish you as his
holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD
your God and walk in his ways. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that
you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. 11 The LORD will
grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your
livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers
to give you.

12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his
bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your
hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 13 The LORD will
make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the
LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will
always be at the top, never at the bottom. 14 Do not turn aside from any of the
commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and
serving them.

Now, this is what I call being blessed.
