INTRODUCTION: One major reason why God blesses His children is so that they can in turn be a blessing to others around them. It is totally unacceptable to receive God’s blessings and use it only for oneself. We have been saved to save others. If we are able in anything, we owe it all to Jesus. God teaches us in His word that as His children, we are not to live for ourselves, but instead for the glory of God and for the good of others.
STUDY GUIDE
For everything God does, there is a purpose. Let us look at these examples;
a. Esther became a queen to save her people. Esther 4:13-14.
b. Joseph was sent ahead to Egypt to save his father’s house. Genesis 45:7.
c. Moses was raised to save the Israelites. Exodus 3:10.
d. Paul was saved to save others. 1 Corinthians 9:16-17.
e. Acts of the apostle is a reference point to show that when God blesses us, we must bless others.
f. In Matthew 25:14-30, why did God say more will be given to the servant that multiplied his money?
How to be a blessing?
- Spiritually: Preaching the word to others so they can be saved and using our gifts to minister to other. 2 Timothy 2:1-2.
- Materially & financially: Sharing with others and giving to the work of God. Matthew 6:1-4.
- Mentally: Using our knowledge, skills and wisdom to innovate great things & ideas to help others and propagate the work of others. Also, using our talents to serve God and others. Eccl 12:1
LIFE APPLICATION: Let’s look around us and become a channel of God’s blessings to others.
CONCLUSION: Silver, gold and all the wealth of the Earth belong to God and He gives generously to us. He knows also that how we use our money reveals what is most important to us. That is why is not simply calling us to generosity, but He is calling us to be growing and abounding in generosity. Do you ever wonder why God seems to bless some people with extra blessings? Those are people that have proved to God that they will use their blessings for His glory.
