40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Words of the Ministry
As we progress with our study of the several implications of having Christ within us, we now come to the blessedness of Christ in us. One of the unfortunate things is that the Church has severally and continually prayed for what God has done for them and most especially in them. On of such examples is the prayer for blessings, we see many saints groaning saying they trust the Lord for a blessing where the bible said we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus so instead of hoping to get the blessing someday, we are to make demands of on what God said he has done, we are to rebuke the devil and call forth such blessings to physical manifestation.
Today I like us to consider the account of Mary as a prove of what I am trying to pass across, the bible says after the angels visit, Mary went to see her cousin Elizabeth and on meeting with her, Elizabeth got filled with the Holy Spirit even as the baby in her womb limped for Joy and Elizabeth under the influence of the Holy Spirit said Mary is blessed among women and that was because of the blessed seed in her womb as the angel Gabriel earlier said (Luk 1.30-35). The promise of the Christ which I interchange as the Holy Spirit because they are actually one (2 Cor 3.17) is the fulfilment of the promise God gave to Abraham that through his seed the nations shall be blessed (Gen 22.18). That offspring wasn’t Isaac nor Jacob rather it was Jesus (Gal 3.16, 29, please read). We therefore see that having Christ in us meant we are to be blessed as Mary was outstanding blessed among women because as at then, only she had Christ within her not in her spirit but in her body.
Saints, I like us to consider the second reading for today, we see that we have the actual fulfilment of the blessing as we have the Lord not just in our womb like Mary But in our Spirit and therefore we are blessed with all spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus, We are a blessing to the world around us and as we have been blessed no man can curse us (Num 23.8). It is therefore expected that your presence in a family, business, relationship etc should make it proper as you bring on the seal of God’s blessing. Same was said about Joseph who was a slave and never had the Christ within him, it was recorded that all he did prospered because God was with him. Paul praying for the saints said he went through birth pain that Christ be formed in us (Gal 4.19), In other words, that the seed of God’s blessing in you find a full expression, Hallelujah, we are today’s Mary, we are to birth Christ through the gospel preaching and confessing the word, we are the blessed seed of Abraham, We have been blessed and we must enforce its manifestation in prayers, amen.
