Good Morning Sunshine! You Have A Benefit Packet To Claim! 

Psalm 103:2-5 ~ “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

Do you understand what you have in your divine benefits package from God? In our daily lives, we are quick to check what benefits we receive from our jobs, our insurance plans, or even our bank accounts. You will ensure that you don’t miss anything owed to you. But how often do you check your spiritual benefits?

Psalm 103 tells you to bless the Lord and not to forget all His benefits. These benefits are not temporary, nor are they based on human systems, but they are eternal and freely given through Jesus Christ. God forgives, heals, redeems, crowns, and satisfies us. Yet so many times you live beneath your privileges because you failed to access everything that God has already provided.

Think about this, there was a grand estate, filled with treasures beyond measure, gold-lined halls, lush gardens of endless fruit, and rooms overflowing with gifts prepared for the rightful heir. The deed had been signed long ago, and all the benefits of the estate belonged to the one for whom it was prepared. Yet, day after day, the estate remained quiet, untouched. The rightful owner lived not in the mansion, but outside the gates, struggling for survival. The heir labored tirelessly, working for scraps, searching for peace, longing for joy, never realizing that everything needed had already been provided.

One day, a messenger arrived with a letter sealed by the Master of the estate. It read: “Why do you live as though you are poor when I have given you wealth beyond measure? Why do you hunger when I have set a feast before you? Why do you wander in uncertainty when I have written your name in my book and given you the key to the kingdom? All that I have is already yours. Come and take what belongs to you!” At last, understanding dawned. The doors had never been locked. The inheritance had never been revoked. Everything that had been missing peace, healing, joy, protection, provision, was already within reach. The heir only had to step forward and receive. And so, the gates were opened, and for the first time, the one to whom it all belonged walked in the fullness of the inheritance. The hunger was satisfied, the burdens lifted, and the blessings poured out abundantly. The estate had never been empty. The benefits had never been withheld. They were simply waiting for the rightful owner to claim them. You! Many Christians live this way, spiritually bankrupt when their Heavenly Father has given them unlimited riches in Christ.”

Much like the heir in the story, you have failed to walk in the benefits God has already given. According to Psalm 103:2-5, His benefits include forgiveness of sins, healing, redemption from destruction, a crown of lovingkindness and mercy, and satisfaction with good things that renew strength like an eagle. These are not just occasional blessings, but divine provisions meant for every believer. Forgiveness ensures freedom from guilt and shame, healing restores both the body and soul, redemption keeps us from the traps of the enemy, God’s love and mercy provide covering and favor, and His goodness renews and refreshes our strength for the journey ahead.

Despite these promises, many times you have missed out on God’s benefits due to a lack of knowledge, doubt, fear, or disobedience. Hosea 4:6 warns that “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Some do not claim their benefits because they are unaware of what belongs to them. Stop letting fear and condemnation keep you from stepping into God’s blessings. For all of His promises, are seen in Deuteronomy 28, where obedience brings blessings and disobedience leads to lack.

To receive all of God’s benefits, you must first acknowledge and thank Him for what has already been provided. Gratitude shifts the heart into a position of faith. Next, you have to study and declare God’s Word and speak His promises over your life and rejecting every lie of the enemy. Praying in faith, without wavering, activates God’s blessings (James 1:6-7). Walking in obedience aligns you with divine provision, ensuring that you are in position to receive what God has already prepared. Finally, receiving by faith is crucial, there must be a bold confidence that God is who He says He is and that He will do what He has promised! 

The doors to God’s blessings have never been locked. The inheritance has already been given. All that is required is your willingness to believe, step forward, and claim what has been freely provided. Do not live outside the gates of your spiritual inheritance. Walk in, receive your benefits, and experience the fullness of all that God has in store for you!

Let’s Pray:

Thank You Father for another day! Thank You for choosing me to be a part of it! I come before You with a heart full of thanksgiving. You are a good and faithful God, and I bless Your Holy Name. Thank You for the benefits You have freely given me as Your child. I refuse to live beneath my privileges, and I declare today that I will walk in the fullness of Your promises. Father, I receive Your forgiveness, and I will not allow guilt or shame to weigh me down because Your Word declares that You have cast my sins as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). Thank You for Your grace and mercy that cover me. Thank You for redeeming my life from destruction. Even when the enemy planned to harm me, You turned it around for my good. You are my Deliverer, my Protector, and my Refuge. No weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Father, I receive the crown of Your lovingkindness and tender mercies. I am not forgotten, abandoned, or alone. I am chosen, loved, and highly favored by You. Your mercies are new every morning, and I will walk in them. Father, I receive Your satisfaction and renewal. Fill my heart with Your peace, joy, and abundance. Strengthen me so that I will soar like an eagle above every challenge. I refuse to live in lack, for You supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Today, I align my heart, mind, and spirit with Your will. I will not doubt, fear, or hesitate. I claim every benefit You have given me, and I will walk in them with confidence. In Jesus Christ Mighty. Amen!

Blessings…
