A commanded blessing is a blessing;
- Under pressure

What are the ways of the commanded blessing?
- The way of uprightness ~ Psalm 24: 3 - 5 KJV. The way of uprightness is the way of blessedness but the way of crookedness is the way of curse-fulness ~ Psalm 1: 1 -3; Psalm 5: 12 KJV

- The way of giving: Giving may not cost you anything, but not giving will cost you everything. Leviticus 25: 20 - 21; Esther 6: 12 KJV; Proverbs 11: 24 MSG.
- The way of divine guidance or leading: The way of divine guidance is the way of commanded blessing; but the way of assumption is the way of frustration. Genesis 13: 2 ; Genesis 26: 1 - 2 , 12 - 14 KJV; Isaiah 45: 1 - 3 NLT; Isaiah 48: 17, 21 KJV/ NLT, Genesis 12: 1, 4 KJV.

Three major areas where God commands His blessing
- In the unity of people ~ Psalm 133:1 – 3; Matthew 5: 9; Acts 2: 2 KJV; 1 Peter 3: 7 NLT.
- The blessing of God is commanded upon His peculiar people ~ Numbers 6: 22 - 27 NLT. The peculiar people are the redeemed of the Lord, as described in Isaiah 62: 12 NIV
- In the area of giving ~ Malachi 3: 8 - 10 KJV; Proverbs 3: 9 - 10 NKJV; Leviticus 25: 20 - 21 NKJV; Proverbs 11: 24 MSG; Psalm 119: 89 KJV.
The ways of the commanded blessing
- The way of submission to priestly authority ~ Numbers 6: 24 KJV. When you release submission you receive transmission. Connection begets collection and association brings about assimilation ~ Hebrews 7: 7 NLT; Matthew 13: 58 MSG; Matthew 9: 21 KJV
- The way of scriptural light ~ Isaiah 60: 1 KJV; Deuteronomy 29: 29 NKJV. The scriptural light delivers to you:
- Revelation leads to possession and light brings lift ~ Matthew 16: 17 - 18 NKJV. What is not revealed to you is not permitted to be released to you ~ Genesis 13: 14 NKJV.
- What you see out of the word of God determines what you will see out of your life.
