When should you bless your house?
Before you learn how to bless a house, you should first of all know the occasions that usually call for a blessing. Most people choose to cleanse the energy around their homes when:
• They move in
Since you can’t tell what the previous occupants of the place did when they lived there, you should always bless a house before you move in. Houses usually carry a lot of history, especially if they have been around for a while. On the other hand, you should also make it a priority to speak blessing into a space you’re moving into even if it is a brand-new place.
• When there’s a new baby
In Nigeria, there are people who prefer to release blessings into a house before bringing home a new baby from the hospital. This is to ensure the baby comes home to a pure, welcoming energy. If you are expecting a baby soon, learning how to bless a house can come in handy before your little one comes home.
• After a loved one dies
Grief can linger in a home long after a loved one passes, and this is when knowing how to bless a house is useful. You can remove the air of loss and mourning by performing this simple ceremony based on your faith. Once the funeral rites are over and the family has had some time to deal with grief, the house might need to be blessed.
• When someone moves in
Usually, people who believe in blessing their houses will celebrate a new occupant by performing a house blessing ceremony. This serves the dual purpose of creating a welcoming environment for the new addition and uniting as one family to speak peace and prosperity into the lives of everyone living there.

• After completing a building project
In Nigeria, people dedicate their new cars, babies, and just about any new thing. New houses are not left out of this show of love! If you know how to bless a house, you can infuse your brand-new building with positive energy before you move your family there. This is the right way to open up the house.
• At the beginning of the year
New year resolutions often come second to new year house blessings for some people. The joy of ushering in a brand new year can remain in the house long after the festivities if the occupants combine the celebration as a house blessing.
