BEYOND THE BLESSINGS..when he decides to bless he blesses abundantly
Topic:BEYOND THE BLESSINGS
Text:Jeremiah 17:7-8.
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD.
8 He is like a tree that is planted by the waters, that stretches out its roots toward the stream; it does not see the heat when it comes, and its foliage remains green; in the year of drought it has no fear, and it never ceases to bear fruit.
Our God is very generous. When he decides to bless, he does so abundantly. For example, when the wedding hosts had no more wine for their guests. Jesus gave them better wine (John 2:1-11).
Psalm 68:19 says, "Blessed be the Lord, who fills us with his goodness every day; the strong God is our deliverance, Selah." Marti Version.
In Deuteronomy 28:1-2, God spoke of great blessings - blessings so great that they will overtake you. The kind of blessing that will make you say, "Lord, this is too much" will begin to come upon you in Jesus' name.
Beyond loading you with blessings every day, God can make you so blessed that you will become a blessing to others.
This is what He did through Solomon. In 1 Kings 3:13, God says that he would bless Solomon so much that no king would be like him throughout his lifetime.
Solomon's blessing also caused the Israelites to be blessed. 1 Kings 10:27 says, "The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as numerous as the sycamores that grow in the plain."
God can do the same thing for you. He can bless you so much that no one in your generation will ever be poor again.
This kind of blessing, however, comes to those who give sacrificially to God as Solomon did in 1 Kings 3:4.
If you are willing to give sacrificially to God, He will make you so blessed that you will become a blessing to others.
*Prayer: Father, please give me the grace to give sacrificially in Jesus' name.
