One of the great privileges we get is to be God’s hands in this world. In other words, we get to express His love to this world by our actions of love and grace. One of the ways we get to do this is to be kind to the poor. When we give to the poor, it blesses God’s heart, and He rewards us when we do so. Proverbs 19:17 (ISV) says: “Whoever is kind to the poor is lending to the Lord— the benefit of his gift will return to him in abundance”. Notice that it says the gift to the poor will return to us in abundance! We can never out-give God. He is MOST generous, and when He sees that we are righteously representing Him, He will continue to resource us with abundant provision so that we could continue to be generous with others. 2 Corinthians 9:8 & 11(NLT) says: “AndGod will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous”. Most people know what it is to be in need. And when someone blesses you when you are in need, it’s like a cold glass of water in a hot, desert day!. Now it’s your turn. Who are you going to bless? Or let me put it this way: Who is God going to bless through you?
you are a carrier of His Glory!
I do not know if we fully understand the anointing that God has bestowed upon those who are born again, who have trusted in Christ for their salvation. Look at what John says about those who are born again: 1 John 5:4 (AMP) “For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].” Did you see it? Whoever, is born of God is victorious and overcome the world. That means all who are born again. Are you born again? If so, you are already victorious and an overcomer. The Spirit that dwells in us will give us all the power and resources we need to overcome and be victorious. We have an overcoming faith (trust and confidence in Christ) that gives us an overcoming and conquering atmosphere and environment. Most are looking for external things to help them overcome, but they are simply not aware that we already have the overcoming Spirit within us. We CARRY victory by our faith! It’s time to stop depending on external things or people to give us victory. You are a carrier of victorious, conquering faith. Christ in you is the hope of Glory (Col. 1:27).
1 John 5:4 “For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].”
