Topic: BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING
SCRIPTURE: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Genesis 12:2
Our anchor scripture makes it clear that one key to being a generational blessing is to be a blessing to people.
One secret of increase is release. The secret is, when you need something the most that is when you give the most. Those who are waiting for when they will have enough before they can give are waiting too long. Sacrifice is giving when you are in need. And when God sees sacrifice, the fire falls.
We see a secret of Abraham’s blessing in Genesis 14:14. Abraham raised children whom he did not biologically give birth to. He was raising them and God gave him both resources and his own children of promise.
Job gave us the secret of his blessing and abundance.
Job 29:11-12 says:
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
If you want to breathe in, you must breathe out. To take in oxygen, you must release carbon dioxide. Until you are ready to release, you are not ready to receive.
Sometimes back, during a call for sacrifice for a need in the Church, I gave massively and that month, I also received massively. I have always said it- You can never outgive God. To the measure you give to the same measure it will be given unto you. This applies to every body including Pastors. Some Pastors only know how to collect, they don’t know how to give and this is why even though they preach blessings, they still remain poor.
Beloved, make up your mind to release to God and be a blessing to people.
Beloved,
- Reject every spell of stinginess
- Open your heart and hands to release both to God and to people so you can connect the blessings of God
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for showing me the secret of being a generational blessing. I receive the grace to release, both towards You and towards people, in Jesus’Name.
