Blessed to be a Blessing

*_Blessed to be a Blessing_*


We are immensely blessed by God in countless ways, each day being an opportunity to experience His grace and goodness. The book of Genesis reminds us of God's promise to Abraham: *"I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing."* (Genesis 12:2)


God's intention in bestowing blessings upon us is not merely for our own benefit but also for us to become instruments of His love and blessings to others. He blesses us so that we may, in turn, be a source of blessing to those around us.


The concept of being a channel of blessings is echoed throughout the Bible. 2 Corinthians 9:8 states, *"And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."* It underscores the idea that God empowers us not only to receive but also to give abundantly.


When we share our blessings with others, we reflect the heart of God. Matthew 5:16 encourages us, *"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."* Through our actions and words, we glorify God by being conduits of His blessings, shining His light in a world that needs hope and love.


With this in mind, I encourage each of us to consider sharing the invite link to our Bible Study Community with our friends, family, and anyone seeking spiritual enrichment. By doing so, we extend the opportunity for others to experience the daily messages that have blessed us and, in turn, be uplifted and inspired on their spiritual journey.


Remember, being blessed is a gift, but being a blessing is a choice. Let us choose to share the blessings God has bestowed upon us, allowing His light to shine through us and touch the lives of those around us.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
