BLESSED TO BLESS-2


Text: Psalms 68:19

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

Yesterday we established that God has blessed us in order that we might be a blessing to others. 

Today, we shall be looking at the kind of positive reaction that should emanate from you towards God as a result of the daily benefits He loads you with. 

While God blesses His children with daily benefits, He equally expects His children to give Him glory in return.

All that God desires to receive from the blessings He's sending to you is glory. *Returning all the glory to God for all the blessings you receive from Him is equivalent to blessing the Lord.* Hence, God has blessed you in order that you may bless Him. So, how can you bless the Lord if not by glorifying Him with all your being and resources.

Everything that God has created praises and blesses Him. Psalms 145:10 says that, All your works shall praise thee, O LORD; and your saints shall bless thee.

The moment any work of God ceases to praise Him, such ceases to live and flourish. For you to keep on flourishing, you must keep on glorifying His name and deeds in your life. You must be able to see details of His goodness and blessings in your life.

The more of God's blessings that you thank and glorify Him for, the more of His blessings  you keep experiencing in your life.

 Bible Reading:

 Psalms 103:1-8.

 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father Lord, I receive the grace to always return all the glory to you for all of your blessings in my life.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
