10 Simple Rich Easter Blessings: The Easter Blessings
Although these are termed Easter blessings, because they proceeded from Jesus’ finished work through his death and resurrection. However, they are to become daily blessings. So that you and your family can live in the rhythm of blessings throughout the year.
Here are the 10 blessings:
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Jesus is the greatest blessing to humans. It’s because of love that the heavenly Father sent Jesus. And on account of love, Jesus agreed to come.
- 1. You are Blessed When You Fear the Lord.
To fear the Lord means to revere him.
It does not mean to be afraid of him! as many oftentimes think. We only have too be afraid when there is judgement or punishment. But neither applies to us. We are children of God if we have accepted Jesus.
This type of fear is an enemy that must be cast out. Perfect love casts out fear (1 Jn. 4:18).
Also, to fear the Lord is to adore him and stand in awe of him. It includes extolling his name and praising his holiness, majesty and splendor (Ps. 112:1). Listen, “Who is like you among the gods? Glorious in holiness, majestic in splendor, doing great wonders, there is none like you” (Ex. 15:11). For you are the great and awesome God. The only true and God, and Jesus whom you have sent to earth and Holy Spirit whom you have sent to earth to us. (Jn. 17:3; Jn. 14:16, 26).
All of God’s blessings flow from a relationship with him. He first calls us into a love relationship with himself. Jesus is the mediator of this relationship. When we place our faith in Jesus, we immediately and supernaturally become a child of God. Then like any good parent, he wants to shower us with his blessings. All his abundance is now available to us.
Sample Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for Jesus. I want to accept him now as my own personal Savior and Lord. So that I become your child. I receive with joy all of your abundant blessings that are now available to me. In Jesus’ strong name.
- 2. The Lord has Given us All Spiritual Blessings in Heavenly Places in Christ.
As a child of God all of heaven’s rich resources belong to you. It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. You are his beloved. He loves you unconditionally. And deeply cares for you. You have all spiritual blessings (Eph. 1:3). And all material blessings flows from the spiritual realm.
Sample Prayer: Father thank you that it is your nature to be kind and gracious. You are filled with loving kindness and tender mercies. You are so kind and wonderful. You rule the earth in loving kindness, righteousness and justice. This is because you delight in these things. May we be imitators of your love and kindness to others, so that they will give you glory. Thank you for your many blessings in Christ. Amen.
God promises blessing on the home and family. The family is the bedrock of society. And God is greatly invested in families. Adam and Eve are the first family of the human race.
They received the first blessing. God blessed them and charged them to “be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it…” (Gen. 1:28).
- 3. You are Blessed with Material Blessings of Abraham through Christ.
God called Abraham in relationship with himself and blessed him and his descendants. Listen to the promise made to Abraham, “I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing and I will bless them that bless you…in you all the nations of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen 12:1-3).
Surely, God had to reiterate the blessing to Abraham, In the event that he was doubtful at hearing such amazing promises. Hear his words, “In blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven,…and your seed shall possess the gates of his enemies; in your seed shall all nations of the earth be blessed” (Gen. 22:17-18).
Because you belong to Christ, you are part of Abraham’s family and you will be given what God has promised to him. Indeed, you are Abraham’s descendant through Christ. For ” if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise” (Gal. 3:14-29).
Sample Prayer: Father, Thank you for your wonderful plan of salvation. You promises are amazing and wonderful. Abraham and the patriarchs of old were faithful to you. They loved and served you. And they have left us such rich legacy of faith. We love and honor you through Christ. Amen.
- 4. The Lord Bless You and Keep You.
The Lord promises to care for you and protect you. His angels encamp around you and protect you (Ps. 34:7). He ” gives his angel charge over you, to keep you in all your ways” (Ps. 91:11-12). His blessing releases divine protection to you.
Sample Prayer: Dear Father, Thank you for the Aaronic blessing (Num. 6:24-26). You have promised divine protection. And you have provided angelic assistance for us. For your angels are here to assist us even when we do not see them. We just have to be conscious that based on your words they are present to help in our times of need. For we do not walk by what we can see but by faith in you and your words. In Jesus. Amen.
- 5. The Lord Bless Your Food and Water and he Will take Sickness from you. And Give You Long Life.
The Lord makes these incredible promises by his own initiative. He is a good parent, looking out for every need of his children. He promises to bless your provision and give you health and longevity (Ex. 23:25). May we take a hold of these promises. And never give up until they come to pass. For it is impossible for him to lie (Heb. 6:18).
Sample Prayer. Father we can never cease to give you thanks. We have received one blessing after another from you. We are so grateful. You nourish and nurture us. You remove sickness from us so that we maintain health, strength, vitality and longevity. As long as I live I will praise and thank you. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Easter blessings remind us to be thankful to our gracious loving Father. For he is the initiator of gifts. And he always gives abundantly and graciously.
- 6. You are blessed when you read, understand and obey God’s words.
The blessed person takes delight in the words of God. Like the Psalmist, they love the words. What’s more, they feed on the words and rejoice in them. “Thy words were found, I ate them, and your words were a joy and rejoicing to my heart” (Jer. 15:16). And “Oh how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long” (Ps. 119:97).
Sample Prayer: Father, Thank you for your words. They provide spiritual nourishment to our souls. Through them we learn all the vitally important truths about you and how we should relate to others. We love and cherish your words, for you esteem your name and your words above all. Amen.
- 7. Your Children are Blessed Because you Fear the Lord
God promises that your children will be mighty in the land. They will be successful and influential. Their lives will greatly impact others. People will look on your family and call you blessed (Ps. 112:2; 127:3).

Sample Prayer: Father, Thank you for wealth and riches. Oftentimes we think it is wrong to desire it. But it is you who give us power to make wealth. So I will receive this blessing with thanksgiving and joy as all other blessings. And in turn I will be a channel of material blessings to others. In the strong name of Jesus. Amen.
- 9. You are Blessed to Receive the Kingdom of God
We are invited to receive the kingdom. It his our Father’s good pleasure to give it to us. Listen to him, “Come; you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world” ( Lk. 12:32; Mat. 25:34). Your inheritance is secure. It is reserved. Ready and waiting for you.
You may be asking, what is there to know about the kingdom? Every kingdom has a king. Christ will be king over his kingdom. Of course, he is the “King of Kings and Lords of Lords” (1 Tim. 6:15). As you can imagine, the kingdom has everything you will ever need in this life. And throughout all eternity. As a matter of fact, all the kingdoms of this world will be subjected to his kingdom (Rev. 11:15).
Sample Prayer: Thank you for our inheritance – your eternal kingdom. We do not need to fret or worry. You have made every provision for us. Indeed, you love us with an everlasting love and with loving kindness you have drawn us to yourself. In response to your great love wherewith you have loved us, we love you. In Jesus’ strong name Amen.
- 10. You are blessed with Eternal Life
Eternal life is in Jesus. Most assuredly, he is the greatest blessing. God has given us eternal life: and this life is in Jesus (1 Jn. 5:11). It is life now and continuing forever. God has given us his very best. That is, himself.
Sample Prayer: Father, Thank you for Jesus. And your best gift. Eternal life in Christ. May we live with the consciousness each day that death has no power over us. Because the resurrection defeated death. If we should leave this earth physically before you return Lord Jesus, we will only be sleeping. And you will wake us at the resurrection to live with you forever. Amen.
The silver and the gold belongs to the Lord. All that he has is yours. For you are heirs with God and joint-heirs with Jesus.
10 Simple Rich Easter Blessings: How to Receive the Blessings
Although the blessings belong to every child of God, yet not everyone receives them. This is because you need to know that they are yours. You have inalienable rights to them as is recorded in God’s declaration – The Bible. This would be similar to the rights US citizens possess in the US Constitution. Next, you have to declare your rights to possess them.
We have an enemy. His sole purpose is to harass and oppress us. This is to prevent us from experiencing the blessings that are rightfully ours. You have to resist him by being fully convinced that these blessings belong to you. And then you persist in declaring your rights to them until you possess them.
Here’s the “how to” List:
- Read the blessings out loud daily. Read them in the morning, afternoon and at night.
- Declare them over you and your family Daily.
- Think about them constantly. Fill your mind with them.
- Focus on how much God loves. Understand that he wants you blessed.
- Give thanks to God for the blessings. And this is even before they manifest in your life.
- Have faith in God and his promises. Believe him at all times. Be confident that he always keep his promises. “If he said it, will he not do it?” (Num. 23:19). Yes he will.
- Read the sample prayer and make them your own. Tailor them to suit the needs of you and your family.
- Be a channel of blessing. Share your blessings with others. God is pleased when we think and care about others. He is the greatest giver. And he is always sharing his abundance with us.
