The True Definition of Blessing
Blessings are not to be equated with material wealth or success but are found in the relationship with God, where forgiveness, righteousness, and adoption are granted. Contrary to popular notions of prosperity gospel, blessings are a result of relationship with God rather than earthly achievements. The idea of being blessed by God is rooted in coming with sins to be forgiven, finding righteousness in filth, and experiencing adoption and victory over enemies.
