The Real Blesser!: The Love... That Never... Stops Loving

By Vivian Cynthia

The Real Blesser wants to bless you out of your socks, beyond whatever you may think possible; thus He is called Jehovah Jireh (Provider). He is love, that never stops loving. He loves even the unlovable. He wants you to advance in life and experience breakthrough beyond measure to the extravagantly BLESSED life you were meant to live. The blessing that He provides releases favor, authority, influence and protection in your life today. His blessings and goodness are chasing you down. His favor is on a mission, and it won’t stop until it finds you. You don’t have to go out searching for it. You don’t have to try to make it happen in your own strength. When you stay in faith, keep honoring Him, keep being your best, then the opportunities, the right people, new ideas, resources, restored health and so much more will find you. Expect this abundant favor now. Get ready and expect to see it every day. You may be asking yourself how you can do that, for starters by counting your blessings. You are so, blessed; more than you think you are. You can only fully realize that once you start counting your blessings, name them one by one. Taking an inventory of your blessings, either material or not will make you realize that you are blessed beyond measure and you will be inspired to access each blessing due to you. It is about time you live life to the fullest.

Preface

Dear Reader,

In the pages of this book I want to introduce you to a blesser. You may have heard about blessers but this one is the real blesser. I know by now some of you might be familiar with the terms ‘blessers’ and ‘blessees’, but there is a real blesser looking for someone to bless tremendously. This real blesser is God, and God is love – real love! Real love that never stops loving. This blesser loves you endlessly and will always love you unconditionally.

So, the message that I seek to convey through this book is from your lover, our heavenly Father, the real blesser. This message is tucked away in the Bible, and it contains the key to life of total bliss and extra ordinary favor.

There has been stories going around in the country (South Africa) about self-proclaimed blessers lately. These blessers apparently claim to bless the lives of young girls and even boys by giving them money and material things in exchange for certain favors. This practice and the use of the name ‘blesser’ has not been sitting well with me, it’s been troubling my mind a great deal. I just could not ignore such an immoral act being glorified and taking center stage and trending in social media as if it is a noble thing to do. The manner in which the word ‘blesser’ has been portrayed is misleading and the real meaning of blessings might gradually be lost and diminish into something it’s not. And perpetuate immorality, decaying the moral fiber of our generation. This got me concerned about the direction we are taking as a nation and how if nothing is being said about this; the future generation might be easily confused by the misuse of the term "BLESSER’’.

I am so grateful to God almighty for affording me the opportunity of writing this intriguing book. This book seeks to portray God as the real blesser, His unconditional love, and His ability to bless beyond measure. Because He is a real God, His love and blessings are real and endless. I hope everyone reading this book will be as inspired reading it, as I am writing it. It seeks to bring a message of hope. Hope for the present and hope for the future.

Please join me as we set the record straight through this book and explore the REAL Blesser, the love that never stops loving…!

Introduction: What is a Blessing?

A blessing or to be blessed may be defined as meaning ‘to be favored by God’ although it may have different meaning to other people. Regardless of the various meaning that society has ascribed to, blessings however are directly associated with God and come from God. Thus to express a blessing is like bestowing a wish on someone that they will experience the favor of God. For example, if I say May you have a blessed holiday season or a blessed day, therefore can also be translated as: May you experience the favor of God during the holiday season or during the day.

One of the first incidences of blessing in the Bible is in Genesis 12:1-2 where Abram is ordered by the LORD, the real blesser to leave his country and is told: I will bless you, and I will make your name great. The originator of blessing is God, and God alone the real Blesser.

A blessing is also generally known as an opposite of a curse. A curse, at least in its most formal sense, is the opposite of a blessing. In the Bible, blessings and curses are related; chapter 28 of the book of Deuteronomy prescribes that obedience to the Law of Moses brings God’s blessing. Similar constructions appear in the New Testament, as in the blessings and curses of Jesus recorded in the Beatitudes of Luke 6:20-22.

The term to be blessed or blessing, can also mean to consecrate or sanctify by a religious rite; make or pronounce holy. To request God to bestow divine favor on something or someone, for example ask God to Bless this house. Or to bestow good of any kind upon a nation blessed with peace. It can also refer to extol as holy or to glorify: Bless the name of the Lord. Other people use the term as an interjection, for example, meaning to protect or guard from evil, for example: Bless you! Bless your innocent little heart! Some however may use this word to condemn or curse: I’ll be blessed if I can see your reasoning. Or Bless me if it isn’t my old friend!"

A blessing can also be a request for permission, as in gaining your parents’ blessing would consist of having been granted consent. Ordained priests will normally receive a blessing from their ecclesiastical superiors to begin their ministry. In the Orthodox Church devout laymen would go to an elder to receive his or her blessing before embarking upon any important work or making a major decision in their life. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a member may receive a special blessing, known as a patriarchal blessing, as guidance. Blessing is also a term used for marriage in the church, i.e. Blessing Ceremony of the Church.

In Spanish, there is a blessing which can be used as a tender farewell, especially from a parent: Vaya con Dios (Go with God), also Adiós (A Dios, to God), similar to the French Adieu. In Hawaii anything new (a new building, a new stretch of road to be opened, a new garden, etc.) receives a blessing by a Hawaiian practitioner (or Kahuna) in a public ceremony. Blessings or being blessed carries the idea of that which "brings pleasure, contentment, or good fortune." Simply stated, it is that state of being that we all want to enjoy.

We all like blessings don’t we? There isn’t a person in this world that does not enjoy a blessing. And, certainly, we all want to be blessed people. I have not met anyone who would rather choose to be a cursed person, given a chance we would all choose blessings be bestowed on us.

But, when it comes to this matter of blessings, we often view them in the wrong light. Most often, we think of blessings as being those things that are physical and material in nature. For instance, if everyone in our family or home is well, we consider ourselves blessed. If there is money in the bank and the bills are paid, we say we are blessed. If we are living in a nice home and driving a good car, we equate that with blessing. And, I would have to agree that those things are blessings from the Lord. However, what happens when a loved one is stricken with a dreadful disease? Did we cease to be blessed? What happens when we drive old cars or no car at all and our house is falling apart? Did we lose the blessing of God? What happens when there is no money and we can’t pay the bills? Does that mean that somehow the Lord has stopped blessing us? The answer is no, and a big NO! Our problem is that we tend to look at blessings in regard to how they benefit us materially, and certainly God does bless that way.

What we fail to remember is that these kinds of blessings are temporary at best. That car depreciates and will die on you one day. That money will find a place to be spent. That home will rot and decay. Your health will eventually decline. What we need to know is that the real blessings of the Lord are not material or physical. The real blessings of God are spiritual in nature, and these spiritual blessings will never be taken away from us. Even when everything else physically or materially is gone, has broken down or has been spent, we will still possess the best of God’s blessings.

When you and I look at our blessings from the Lord’s perspective, I think we would all have to say that we are indeed blessed. God has provided us with blessings that are beyond description and beyond measure as to their value. I think we just need to learn to praise the Lord for His blessings. We need to learn that what we often think of as blessings really aren’t. Too often the real blessings of life are those spiritual things that we always have, no matter what else is happening around us. The real blessings of life are the things that never change and that never fade away. We are blessed! No matter what else is happening, if you are saved, you are blessed abundantly. I think we ought to thank Him for those blessings.

I would like to point out little thoughts in the last part of Ephesians 1 verse 3 "May blessing be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm" that teach us the valuable lesson of how to recognize God’s best blessing. Now, by way of introduction, notice how this verse begins. It begins with a note of praise for the Lord. Paul exalts the Lord for his greatness. He tells us that our Heavenly Father "hath blessed us" in the King James Version. I want you to notice that these words are in the aorist tense, which is equivalent to the English past tense. This means at some point in the past, God blessed us. Not only are they past tense, but they are also in the active voice. This means that those blessings that we received at some point in the past continue today and will continue on into the future. In other words, I have been blessed, I am being blessed and I will be blessed! It may not feel like it, and all the facts may be stacked against it being true, but it is true nonetheless.

The quantity of these spiritual blessings can be summed up in one little word found in verse 3 of the first chapter in this book written to the Ephesians. It is the word ALL. That word tells us that in the Lord, we find every single thing we need to live this life. You see, God has held nothing back from His children. When He saved us, He gave us everything we needed to serve Him. We have everything we need right now to be content, to be successful, to be obedient, to be useful to the Kingdom and to be happy in Jesus. When you and I get saved, we get everything Jesus had to offer us. We get it at that very moment, there is nothing else.

Paul describes these things as blessings in heavenly places. This literally means that these blessings are things that originated in heaven. They are not earthly blessings, but they are heavenly blessings. In the most literal sense, they are Heavenly Things. With that in mind, it will help us all to learn just what these heavenly things are. The last two words of verse 3 tell us what a person must do to enjoy all of these spiritual blessings. That one thing is to be in Christ. The only way for anyone to enjoy the spiritual blessings of the Lord is for that person to be saved by the grace of God. At the moment of conversion, you are placed into the body of Christ, (1 Corinthians 12:13). You get in Christ, when this happens, you are made a partaker of all the spiritual blessings of the Lord.

There numerous blessings that have our name on it in the store house of the real blesser, the problem is they stay there for years and years without being claimed by us. Think about the opportunity for blessing this way: Have you ever had an airline lose your luggage? I remember a time I lost a piece of luggage, years ago when we travelled to Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape. When we inquired about it, we were sent to check among the unclaimed luggage area, before discovering that it was taken by mistake by somebody with a similar bag. It was amazing to see how much was there. And I don’t mean junk, I mean some very nice stuff; some left unclaimed for days or weeks or months. Expensive watches, cameras, sports equipment. It’s amazing that people would be so nonchalant, lazy and/or careless to leave such valuables unclaimed. And yet, that is exactly what we do when we leave unclaimed blessings with God. Let us not do that anymore.

Well, if I have these great blessings some unclaimed, I want to know more about them as well as the person bestowing such blessings, don’t you? Thankfully, this book in the next chapters will give us the information we seek. Let’s notice these truths as we discover how to recognize God’s blessing and God as the real Blesser!

Get Yourself a Blesser

God has placed a huge responsibility upon the shoulders of parents, a responsibility of stewardship over the lives of their children. There is an African saying that says: a child is raised by the whole village, this therefore implies that we are not only responsible for our biological children but we are responsible for the wellbeing of every child. We need to set an example for all the children in our generation. It is a responsibility of making sure that we raise a generation with certain qualities of character and capabilities. If not the stability of future generations is hanging in the balance.

We cannot build children who are going to be stable grown-ups in future if we are absent parents, characterized by overworked workaholics, fatigued, distracted, uninterested and uninvolved in what happens in the lives of our children. Parenting can never be outsourced leaving all our duties to nannies or leaving everything to the media. Thus the King Solomon in his wisdom writes: Train a child in a way he should go…. (Proverbs 22:6). We are responsible for teaching them to think, make decisions and instilling in them modesty and morality. They are a gift from God, a clean slate that society writes on, whether good or bad. Therefore as grown-ups we have a role to play and a responsibility in eliminating this blesser syndrome in our society and not reinforce it.

Actually the people that call themselves blessers are usually grown-ups. You have heard it is said that you have to have a license to drive, to own a firearm, or even to fish. Yet, there is no license necessary to become a parent. Thankfully, God’s Word provides us with good instruction on how to raise our children. Even so, parenting is an overwhelming calling. We get started with no experience, and by the time we have experience, it’s often too late.

So much is out of our control, and there are so many negative influences in our children’s lives. So, to be a good parent, where should we begin?

The most important starting point is for Mom and Dad to love and respect each other. Why? Because so much of the identity of our children is wrapped up in Mom and Dad. So much of their security is knowing that Mom and Dad really love each other. Parenting is tough, but the most important way to be a good parent is to love your spouse. God commands it, and our children need it. This means that even if you’re divorced, don’t make the mistake of tearing down your child by tearing down your ex. Build up your child by portraying your ex in the best possible light, even when it’s difficult.

It is so sad that very young girls fall prey into the hands of wolfs who call themselves ‘blessers’ if parents are sleeping during their watch; and when they expect that children will just be safe and grow without proper nurturing and care. Young girls who are lacking material things, are advised and enticed to get themselves a ‘blesser’ i.e. somebody who will ‘bless’ them – take care of all their material needs. It is so disheartening to find out that these naïve young girls are not told the whole truth about this blesser story. They fall into a trap without the full knowledge of this practice. They not only receive blessings as it is said but they also suffer a lot of abuse in the hands of the so called blessers.

Most girls find out when they are way too deep into this practice that this is not as glamorous as they may have been enticed to think. But unfortunately they discover that it is a lot of hell as well. They usually loose themselves in the process. In their quest to find solace, love, acceptance, and comfort from these men ‘blessers’ who may be old enough to be their fathers, uncles and even grandfathers they may even loose their lives.

In the process of writing this book, I discovered that shocking as it may seem; the advice to get themselves blessers does not only come from their peers as commonly known. It is such a shame that there are some parents/guardians even mothers who encourage their young girls to grab themselves a blesser.

This repulsive act is done in the name of curbing poverty. The whole family apparently then benefit from the so called blessings. The family may be supported by the blesser financially, which makes it difficult for the young girl to escape the claws of the blesser. She finds herself trapped in this practice since the whole family is now involved. Especially if the mother supports and encourages this practice. No matter what the practice is called, it remains something else - not a ‘blessing’. A blessing should bring lasting joy and is never accompanied by any feelings of coercion and imprisonment.

This hideous act is nothing short of pure glorified sex work. Receiving favours or money in exchange of sexual acts. We may give this act names such as blessings or whatever dignified name but it remains wrong, whether it is acceptable in society or not. There is no blessing in this act, none whatsoever. It really puzzles me that out of all the names that could have been used to describe this act; the term ‘blesser’ was trending. What happened to ‘sugar daddy’ the term that was commonly used, why call these sugar daddies now blessers, why choose to use a Christian vocabulary, this is the work of the devil defiling what is pure.

These blessers attract their victims with material things, enticing them with money, etc. They describe themselves in categories (level 1, 2, or 3) depending on what the blesser can afford to offer. Mostly the blesser is an elderly man who has money or gifts to shower young naïve girls with in exchange for certain favours, usually sexual in nature. The ‘blessee’ usually is the one bestowed with material gifts, money, etc. and in exchange is expected to satisfy the blesser’s needs with whatever that will be required of her. The blessee is usually younger and easily manipulated by her blesser.

The blesser in most cases marks his territory, he may not want to share his young girl with anyone else. Who may even be the same age as his daughter/son or even younger. He wants to have exclusive rights as the blesser. Thus they want to control and isolate these young girls.

There are stories of these blessers coercing these young girls to end relationships with their boyfriends who cannot afford the luxuries that the blesser offers; regardless of whether the blesser found the girl in a relationship with this boy or not. However one blesser may have multiple blessees competing for his attention. I have heard of a story of a blesser who threatened to harm the boyfriend if the girl does not want to dump her young lover. The blesser usually have a strong hold over these young girls, they end up doing whatever the blesser coerce them to do lest the blessings are withheld.

Remember the blesser might be taking care of all of the young lady’s financial needs. As a result she always have cash, does expensive hairstyles, have airtime, top of the range smart phone, clothes, jewelry, perfume, expensive food and drinks; and may also supply her with transport depending on which level blesser he is. Higher level blessers even go to the extent of renting a town house and even buy a car for their blessees. They may even pay for overseas trips or expensive holidays. For some older guys who may not call themselves a blesser per se, but if they offer the above mentioned luxuries to young girls in exchange for favours they are falling in the same categories.

What is bothersome is that this custom is reported to becoming rife even in Christian circles. No, this is just wicked, it has satan written all over it. Why is this wicked custom acceptable and trending? I really do not know. We should be ashamed, not popularize it further. Even emerging now is elder women who do the same to young boys. They do not call themselves ‘Ben 10s’ anymore. They are also adopting the Christian vocabulary they are called ‘anointers’. This practice has to stop it is wickedness and it corrupts our youth, it brings unnecessary confusion.

The profile of the blesser can be anyone ranging from a single man to a married family man with children the age of these young girls. It can be professionals and academics who have extra cash to splash (bless) young girls with. If you do not have money it is most unlikely that you can qualify to be a blesser.

These blessers are given endearment names like ‘bae’, or ‘uncle bae’. Sometimes they are known to the friends of the blessers, who also are culprits of the same custom. Most of the time the blesser does not want the relationship with his blessee to be known by his own family. He usually does not have any permanent intentions towards the young lady. Although in some cases the blesser might be known to the family of the blessee. Mostly these relationships do not have any emotional ties from the side of the blesser. He usually sees it as a transactional relationship whereas, the other party may be too emotionally invested in the relationship. This may cause a lot of hurt and disappointment if the feelings are not equally reciprocated.

The relationship may further be complicated for instance if the young girl falls pregnant intentionally or unintentionally in the process. When this happens usually the blesser disappears, as such a long term (child) commitment was not what he bargained for. He was only willing to buy expensive food and drinks not diapers and milk formula let alone attend antenatal classes.

Some blessers may even coerce the poor girl to abort the unborn baby, dodging the responsibilities of becoming a father to the unplanned baby. Many unborn babies have been aborted without even the families of the blessee being aware. This is cause of enormous stress and guilt weighing heavily on the young girl who might also be a child herself that still need to be taken care of. The blesser in most cases might not even feel any guilt of taking an innocent life of an unborn baby.

These relationships may also expose them to various illnesses and diseases, because with some girls they are not even in a position to negotiate safety and the use of protection which makes them vulnerable to a lot of things. Others do not even enjoy whatever they have involved themselves in, thus they may even start abusing alcohol and drugs. The fact that these blesser relationships may or may not be clearly defined early in the inception stage of the relationship also complicates the whole thing.

Sometimes the terms or contract of the relationship needs to be clearly defined. If they are not defined they just both assume that they understand what the expectations of the other are even beyond the transactional part of exchanging favours.

In the quest of filling the gaps while writing this book I tried researching what might be the causes that lead these young girls to fall into the blesser relationships. I found a few possible causes, but they are not exhaustive.

The youth of today are fighting a different battle altogether, things have drastically changed. They are under enormous pressure in comparison to the previous generations. They are forced to grow up much faster, enticed to become mini women before their time. This poses a great challenge which they are not yet prepared or matured for. They are preoccupied with a lot of things; that were not a preoccupation for the previous generations.

It is important to the youth of today how they look and other people’s opinion can either break or build their fragile personalities. There are a lot of factors that may influence young girls to fall into this blesser trap than we can imagine, I have listed a few below but as I have said they are not exhaustive:

• Poverty/Lack

• Peer pressure

• Boredom

• Child headed families

• Single parenting

• Lack of father figure

• Too much career orientated parents/Neglecting children

• Child Abuse

• Alcohol and Substance Abuse by either parents or the children

• Sense of belonging/wanting to fit in

• Discontentment

• Promiscuity

• Rebellion against parents/system

• Media influence

• Poor self-esteem

• Lack of positive Role models

The list is just endless, it is scary that the girls joining this blesser syndrome are starting younger and younger. They may be just ordinary girls in their teens looking for acceptance, love or attention that they lack from home; not necessarily lacking material things. Others are in search of adventure and a way of filling a void that they feel inside, they just need assurance that they matter.

Do not be deceived into thinking that all young girls fall into the trap of blessers because they lack financial support from home. It will be erroneous to conclude that they fall into the trap because they are children who are raised by single parents, also girls who are raised by both parents may fall into this trap. These girls are not only those that come from poor backgrounds, who are illiterate because even our tertiary students who come from well to do homes sometimes also fall into this trap of blessers. It is therefore of utmost importance for parents to spend time with their children and talk to them, actually warn them about these practices.

Parents really need to be involved in the lives of their children at an early age; and give proper guidance to them before they are wrongly advised by outside forces on issues of relationships.

How could we have allowed ourselves to be so busy with the cares and demands of life that we neglect our number one priority of protecting our children, leaving them vulnerable to evil influences?

We should not fail in our duty to give them love, attention and guidance. We should take heed of the advice given by the wise King Solomon (Proverbs 22:6). It is our responsibility to protect their innocence. They should be taught at an early age who the Real Blesser is… the real blesser and source of everything is God.

Unmasking the Real Blesser

This chapter seeks to unmask, expose, uncover, and reveal the real blesser. Who is the real blesser? In answering this question it will not be possible to do justice in this chapter only; not even the whole book will be able to answer this question adequately. This real blesser is too enormous, massive and great to be explained fully and reveal His identity of who He really is in this book. I am trying to describe and give meaning to the indescribable God. I will try to give my one cent worth of who I think and have seen the real blesser to be. The real blesser is merciful and kind, He is just awesome nobody is like Him. He always has our best interest at heart.

He is God Elohim, God who spoke everything into existence. Our everlasting God who through the ages have been known to be a safe haven. We are completely safe in Him. He is the real blesser, the God we can trust. He is love, the real love! The love that never stops loving.

He is Jehovah Yahweh… an uncaused, ageless, unchanged, ungoverned covenant keeping God. He is ever the same, He is God the real blesser today, He was God yesterday, He will still be God tomorrow, and He will be God thousand years from now and more. Malachi 3:6 writes I the Lord do not change… He is not changed by time, circumstances, or anything. He is an unchanging blesser. You and I need this unchanging blesser in our lives.

In this world of broken promises, in this world of change and decay, Yahweh, the real blesser, shines as our unchanging light. Even the best brand name fails, but not this name. Yahweh, the Lord, never fails. Even a most trusted friend may betray you, Yahweh, the real blesser, will never go back on his word. Put your faith in his name. He is Yahweh, the Lord, who freely makes his promises and faithfully keeps his promises. He is Yahweh, the real blesser, the God of unchanging grace. Yahweh’s blessing is much more than a wish. God’s blessing is his promise of good, the promise of his favor and gifts. His blessing never breaks. For his name guarantees it and their actions fulfill it.

Haven’t you had enough change in your life? Places change, people change, relationships change, the weather changes, health changes, nothing remains the same. But the real blesser, Yahweh, who ruled the whole universe last night is the same Yahweh who rules it currently. Same strategy, same plan, same love, same disposition, same mood, and same attitude. Our God never changes. He cannot be altered and bribed to change. He is a sure constant in a turning world.

It is comforting to know that He was not caused or initiated by anyone. No one gave life to Yahweh or caused His existence. No one breathed life into Him. He was not created by anyone, though He creates. God was never made, though He makes. Since no human act or otherwise brought Him forth, therefore nothing shall take Him out. Thus the Psalmist proclaims: Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God (Psalm 90:2). He does see all…God’s eyes does not just refer to His Omniscience but the reference here, to God’s eyes includes LOVE. God does not merely observe, He observes in
