BORN TO BE A BLESSING
“An arrogant man stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the Lord will prosper.”
Proverbs 28:25
Main Text: Main Text: 3 John 2
You weren’t born to suffer, you might feel unloved, unqualified for the blessing, but I need you to let go of that lie the enemy has planted in your heart. You were not born to live a beggarly life; you were born to be a blessing! A star to your world! God didn’t put you on this earth to see how much wealth you could acquire but to see how much impact you can create with His good pleasure at work in you. Jesus came to die for you to live a great life, a life of abundance and He expects you bless your community with this prosperity! Scriptures say, you will always have the poor with you (John 12:8).
This year choose to life a life that blesses people. People are God’s gift to man, and He expects that we show each other the fundamental light to this prosperity. Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Choose to honor the Lord Jesus Christ and He will grant the desires of your heart! There’s no other ticket to stressless success than following the Lord. Therefore, choose the Lord!
The call to the blessing is a call just like the fivefold ministry, Jesus died and called you into the Blessing – one that adds no sorrow with it. Man is obligated to provide not only for his own family, but for others. You work for a giving, and you sow for a living! Ephesians 4:28 tells us: "Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the things which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth." According to this scripture, God wants us to have enough to give to anyone in need.
Confession:
I am blessed to be a blessing; I am born to be a blessing! I have a purpose on the earth and that’s the way of the blessing! I am a rule all the days of my life.
