- The Blessing | Aotearoa/New Zealand is LIVE!
It’s HERE! From inception to completion, it’s been a 3 month labour of love to produce one song and video, but it’s finally done, and I am elated.
I can’t quite put into words how gratified and thankful I am to the more than 200 singers, instrumentalists, technicians and cultural advisors who used their gifts so generously to make this a reality. Thank YOU!
Nga mihi nui
We are thrilled to add our uniquely Kiwi-flavored rendition of “The Blessing” to this historic statement by the global Church during such a difficult and challenging time.
-------
Aotearoa
Maori name for New Zealand.
ORIGIN
Literally "land of the long white cloud".
Ma Ihowa koe
E manaaki e tiaki
Tona mata e tiaho ki a koe
e atawhai ano hoki
Ma Ihowa tona kanohi
e whakaara ki a koe
Kia tau ai ko te aiotanga
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.’
Numbers 6:24-26
Moved to tears every time I've watched this. I've sent it to so many others. THANK YOU
Kia ora and massive blessings from Timor Leste ♥️🇹🇱 thank you so much for honouring Jesus, his Church, the land and people of Aotearoa. The unique sound of our nation is a blessing in itself. Missing home, keep the fires burning...🔥🔥🇳🇿 brilliant job well done! 👍🏾
South Africa calling 😊 The Blessing is beautiful. I had it sent to me from Britain. You have lifted my soul. Thank you for going to all this trouble. I will listen daily to keep me where I am right now. I will be sending to many people. Bless you all. We are all in this together. 🥰🥰🙏🏻
Thanks Rhona. It's good to get your message from South Africa.
I woke up this morning and read comments from our prayer relay 2020 team and I saw this link and the comments that read “blessed and undone by this song”...I played it and was absolutely moved by the Spirit of God. The indigenous people and language of this nation ‘Aotearoa’ at the start , middle and the end touched my spirit. Kudos to all the beautiful singers,musicians, editors and everyone who worked in and behind the scenes to truely become ‘The Blessing’ to us all the viewers. ALL PRAISE, GLORY and HONOUR to the GREAT I AM !!! The GOD JEHOVAH...I believe that God is going to use this nation to be a blessing to all nations and that He is doing something new and uniting all the churches (body of Christ believers) to be the one in this generation to release and empower His Spirit upon the earth. Revival...The greatest Awakening...and Out pouring of the The Holy Spirit on All flesh...bring it on...The key...Intimacy/Relationship with Jesus Christ...John 3:16. 😊❤️🙏 🔥 ⛪️ 🇳🇿🌍 🇮🇱
The best version of this beautiful story. I 've heard this many times but it seems like the first time each time!! Love you all.
Hallelujah 🙌🏽💜 Love my country NZ 🥰 God's got us!! God bless!!
Beautiful, heartfelt, very emotional for me---We all need God's Blessing.
😭😭😭😭💖💖💖... So moved.... Speechless.... This is beautiful thank you
Grant, Brooke! I am speechless! What a blessing! Thank you!!
I love how we have come together as one, so love this song of blessing. thank you, guys.
Absolutely fabulous!! Grant and team!! You did an awesome job at producing this! Praise God for you all and the talented people who sung this 💜💜💜
STUNNING... IN FACT STUNNED BY THE WHOLE THING. THE HANDS OF THE SIGNER IS JUST SUCH A FLOWING!!
Like a huge great pouring of the holy spirit upon you... Amen❤️
Absolutely beautiful, very powerful, and we are incredibly blessed to be Kiwis! 💜🙏🏿😊
Well done, may it be watched by many and those who do not yet know the loving grace of our Lord be touched.
This is the 3rd time I've watched in the last few hours. I'll be sharing a lot. I rarely get moved to all out tears, but this has moved me beyond words. Tears streaming the entire performance! I do not live in NZ, but it is my goal to move there. I feel my soul belongs in and to your country. The scenery pushed me into all out sobbing, so I know this is because I belong there, and it reminded me of time spent in your beautiful country. May God bless all who watch ... hoping this will uplift many sad hearts ... as we all are facing unprecedented challenges! Kia Kaha!
if you do move you'll love it here
Same. Definitely moved me to tears too.
@Katie Madden may God go with you, and go with you always, in Jesus' name ✝️✨🌺
Katie - May God bless you and keep you wherever you are
I love the energy and enjoyment and fun of the Maori gentleman at 7:59 - the whole production is a blessing (every pun intended!) - thank you from Up Top (Northern Ireland)
Very very good compilation right from the start in native language calling up with the dawn scenery to the many different background settings and with the beautiful God given voices.
Thank you so much for ALL the people involved. Simply moving. Thank you - I have shared on fb and will share with friends far and wide - Bless you all. Hamilton - New Zealand.
Great job in putting together many hours of work.
Our God reigns. Lovely to see soo many of God's children represented and singing in Harmony when so much of our world is fighting each other.
Kia ora. Thank you so much for this blessing. I am a Maori woman living on the island of Mykonos in Greece. My daughters, my mokos wait patiently to be able to return one day to see whanau and our beautiful land.
Kia ora! Having been to where you are, I can imagine it being both utterly beautiful and quite challenging. I have a message for you: your family awaits your physical return, but know that you are neither far from them in spirit or in their love. He hono tangata e kore e motu; ka pa he taura waka e motu.
@@probinson8296 Thank you for your warm, and embellishing wairua. I have always trusted our tupuna and God and we are always where we are meant to be whatever our challenges because it is purely to train every moment of every day in prayer to be absolutely grateful for all that God provides us. He wants nothing to give other than his abundant love. Thank you for sharing the blessing that has touched so many souls reigniting the essence of that love.
Love this 😍💛💙🧡💚💜.
May God touch the hearts of us all.
God bless you all for blessing us all with this beautiful prayer put in waiata.
I was truly blessed.

We sang this beautiful song this morning at New Life Church Otautau
This song brought tears to my eyes, I am here in Melbourne Australia, but this song makes me feel like home, as we're so desperate to come back home, but this bloody lockdown is holding us back here so badly. This is truly a blessings to anyone's heart to sing along and sing out their hearts to God for His Blessings.
Wherever you are Matavai, you are part of us.
Sorry you're stuck. I hope you make it home soon.
I got the goosebumps, and then I started weeping. For all the lost children.
Love love love this. Thank you for putting it all together. Loved seeing the Arise Church team.
Thank you so much for bringing such joy to my Sunday morning here in lockdown in Melbourne, Australia. 🇦🇺
🙏👏😷 Stay safe and well, our neighbours over the sea. 💕💕💕
This is so beautiful & very moving - Bless you for making it - I will share it :-)
I am deeply moved by this...THANK YOU and the Lord bless you all.
That was really awesome. 🦋🦋🦋
Beautiful. Amazing and powerful. May it reach and bless all in our country and beyond. The blessing of God is His best toward us and what he desires for us.
So beautiful.....my favourite .... favourite....song.....
I am not a Christian but I felt and loved the wairua of this wonderful blessing, The world needs it.Next one can you bring many religions together! Its all one God, One Blessing
God's LOVE IS SO PRECIOUS feeling it hearing it and seeing it @equippers @arise to everyone who evolved thanknyou someone needed to hear that and we pray for them LORD THAT NEEDS YOU TO GUIDE THEM MAY YOUR LOVE POUR OUT AND OVER FLOW OVER US ALL THAT NEED HIM
I have sent to all my Facebook people and e mailed to others. Many great responses. It went to my Scottish penpal who did likewise and she captioned it ' A Blessing for you from New Zealand. She has friends all over UK, Europe and Australia. This reminds me of the what I read in the book 'Cry the Wounded Land ' by Mark Holloway - that God's intentions were for the English to give to Maori the best of what they had and for the Maori to give to the English the best of what they had. - a marriage of cultures.This amazing song does just that.Blessed to be a kiwi.
maramachapman. thank-you for the uplifting in this beautiful song and the power of the holy spirit
those songs touched my heart and filled with our gods grace and peace
AOTEAROA ❤❤ ... KIA KAHA 😥😥 AMENE 🙏AMENE 🙏 AMENE 🙏
Such a beautiful and amazing work down here. Amen share this far and wide.
This was amazing and very moving. Thank you! Not too offend anyone, but I would like to add to your mention of Sunday churches, that there are many pockets of believers all over NZ, whether large or small [ we are just 4 friends and believers who get together ] who faithfully know and believe in their Saviour and choose to keep the seventh day Sabbath of scripture.
Great job! So moving! Just loved it!
Love this - it would be great to add subtitles to make it accessible for deaf NZers. :-)
@@matasaina2011 yes which is wonderful but if you are deaf you need it there for the whole thing or subtitles. :-)
@@matasaina2011 I didn't see that - thank you for pointing out that option. :-) Bless you.
Beautiful work indeed. Well done . Loved it
It's great seeing the diverse body of Christ worshiping together.
Beautiful and touching. I know our nation is called of god. The national anthem sums it up. The strength of the power of words and song is inspiring. We are a blessed nation where god is going to pour out his spirit upon. Well done guys xx

Thank you Kiwis , beautiful, do some more
Such a moving rendition. I held back tears.This blessing, the lyrics, the music accompaniment and the arrangement of this blessed song just filtered through to my soul. My Parish, St. Aidan's, Remuera concluded this mornings online service with this beautiful rendition. Since then I have viewed it four times and requested the Priest to play at a service when life is back to normal and we can all attend church.
YOU are the church Jerome. Whatever part you have to play in His body. So sing it loud :)
Well Done!
What a mighty God we serve Amen 🙏❤️❤️❤️
Great idea.
Magic
Amine! A shout out to whanau Stacey & Hiraina Raika, Elim Porirua. Our God Song...
Very moving
I would value a version with lyrics so we can share at church... SOOOO GOOD
Very moving. Is there a link that I could find te reo lyrics? It truly makes the blessing our own. Bless.
*This was beautiful Whanau Mishpachah!* Shalom to all 12 tribes scattered across the four corners of the earth! *Yahusha* is gathering his sheep. Also hailed from the isles of the sea and now come out of the world and following His ways. May *YHWH Yahuwah* bless and keep you, and may his countenance shine upon you.
*Yahshua is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father but through Him.*
_Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him and keep him as a shepherd does his flock._
_Jeremiah 31:10_
_Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment._
_Isaiah 41:1_
