Blessed to be a Blessing

Thursday 2 March
READ: Gen. 12: 2 – 3
MORE LESSON: Psa. 37: 21 - 26

God delights in blessing His children. We must know that God's intention for every blessing He gives us is for us to become conduits through whom those blessings will flow to others. The Bible says concerning Abraham that the LORD blessed him and made him a blessing. God called Abraham and blessed him, but the real intention of God was that through Abraham, all the families of the earth should be blessed. God's purpose was to bless all the families of the earth. He only needed a man who can be his access point and distributor of the blessing. God saw Abraham's heart that if he was blessed, he would generously pass the blessing to all the families of the earth. This is the reason the Lord greatly blessed Abraham.
If you are not ready to be a blessing, you are not qualified for God's blessings. God doesn't want His blessings to ever be stagnant; He wants them flowing. When God meets your need, He expects you to meet another's need. Life is not all about eating and enjoying all that you have; your life should also be about helping people. Don't just eat and feel happy that you are eating good food; do something to put food on somebody else's table as well. Let people know you everywhere you are that you are a blessing.
Everything God gives you is so that you can be a blessing to people with it. Are you intelligent? Be a blessing with your wisdom. Use it to build people, not to con them. Can you speak? Then be a blessing with your word. Be a blessing with your resources, time and finance. Let there be people who can attribute the blessing and success in their lives to the fact that you are blessed .
In Psa. 37: 21 – 26, we read about the blessedness of the righteous man who is a blessing to people around him. The Bible makes it clear that even his children will be blessed because of him. When you are a blessing to others, wherever your children get to, they will experience the blessings of God through other people. Henceforth, you should make a decision that you will go out of your way to be a blessing to at least someone every day. Make a commitment that there will be many people who will be made and blessed by your life so much that they will glorify God that you lived on this earth by the time you are gone. Always remember that you are blessed to be a blessing to people around you.
