BLESSED TO BLESS


Text: Psalms 68:19

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

 God's blessings upon His children is not  for fanfare; they are for His glory!

Many Christians are yet to understand this simple truth in real terms. Though, in theory, many affirms this truth, but not in practical terms.

For instance, God blessed Abraham both with his biological son (Isaac), and ultimately with Jesus Christ, so that all the families of the earth might be blessed in and through Him. (Genesis 12:3). Hence, the promise and blessing of Jesus Christ through Abraham was not just for Abraham, but for the whole earth.

In the same way,  you must know that you are blessed to be a blessing, both to God and humanity. Whatever you are or have, it is by God's blessings upon your life. 

In Apostle Paul's writing to the church in Corinth, he wrote thus: "...who makes you to differ from another? and what do you have that you have not received? now, if you did receive it, why do you glory as if you have not received it?"

This is to affirm that all the good and perfect gift  in your life are blessings from the Lord and they come directly from Him.(James 1:17).  Having an in-depth knowledge of this will always give you the consciousness of- "I am Blessed to be a Blessing"

It is God who daily loads you with benefits, and your reaction to the benefits you daily receive should be for  the  blessing of His name and His glory.

Benefits are blessings from the Lord. They are the countable, uncountable, visible, invisible, tangible, intangible, physical and spiritual blessings that come from the Lord. 

You cannot deny receiving at least one from these categories of  benefits on a daily basis.Hence, you do not have any reason whatsoever why you must not bless God from the many blessings He has released to you.

Are you thinking you don't have any reason to bless the Lord, then think about the very breath in your nostrils. 

Some are on the hospital bed. Are you in the hospital bed? He is the Lord that heals you. Remember, some are already in the grave. Do you have anyone in the grave? Remember, some are justifiably wishing and praying for death because of the intense pain they are going through. Are you going through intense pain, that may be your opportunity to make things right with God and you will receive His mercy. The list is endless. You have many reasons to daily bless the Lord.

 Let your soul bless the Lord today, and His benefits will grow and multiply in your life.

 Bible reading:

 Psalms 103:1-8

 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father, I receive the grace to always see the benefits you daily loads me with.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
