In this book, The blessing, Pastor Bankie teaches on the empowerment to succeed that is imparted by the Spirit of God.

We talk a lot about the word ‘blessing’ or ‘to bless’, but I sincerely doubt whether many of us that use the word really know what it means.

A blessing is a spiritual substance.

A blessing is that which confers upon you the power of fruitfulness and productivity. A person in a state of blessedness has been empowered to succeed; he is not a struggler; things just by themselves fall into place for such a one without the struggles of a common man. Remain a Hearing Hearer , i. e, one who hears and DOES the word of God.

We all know that humans are made up of organic substances. All flesh can be analysed down to very minute details in the laboratory. The basic building blocks are the molecules and atoms of these organic substances. Now, because man was made from the earth and indeed all animals too , all of the basic elements that make up Man are found in the earth. The plants also derive their basic substances from the earth. These atoms and molecules carry within their chemical bonds the energy that God abundantly supplies us through the Sun. With this energy we really live—we walk, run, work, talk, grow, repair damaged tissues, build new ones, etc. Also, with the energy from what we eat, our bodies communicate with our souls and spirit.

But what substance is beyond the known science , from what is life derived?

Are you really succeeding? What even does it mean to be successful?

These questions and MORE are spoken on by Pastor Bankie in this short written sermon.
