How often have you said, "I'm Blessed!" in answer to someone inquiring after your well being? What do you mean? Have you considered what you are really saying?
The word blessed means empowered to prosper and, if you are a Christian, you are blessed by God. You are an inheritor of the blessing of Abraham [Gal. 3:7, 14]. In Christ you are empowered to prosper.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, [Ephes. 3:20]
Power is defined as: dunamis = force; specially miraculous power, ability, abundance. Working in us is especially miraculous ability to be blessed (empowered to prosper) in every area of our lives.
Today, more than ever before, God is wanting us to understand His Divine capacity to give to His children. His desire is that we will begin to know Him as the Father that desires to give good gifts to His children [Eph. 3:14; Jas. 1:17]:
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. [3 John 1:2]
This year our Father wants us to be delivered from the poverty mentality that has plagued the Church for two thousand years. He wants to teach us how to receive out of His Divine capacity the riches in glory by Christ Jesus which will result in an over-flow of abundance.
