It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever watched the way some people treat other people? Sometimes people can be very rude and nasty. Sometimes people treat others like slaves and peasants. They talk to them any kind of way. Respect and love are never shown. Have you ever listened to two people who were in conflict about something or someone? It’s always the other person’s fault. No one wants to admit their wrong. Their way is the only way that’s right. Many times in our lives we want God to bless us but we refuse to bless others. So often we fail to realize the power invested within us. We think of blessings as materialistic or monetary. When you speak to a person in love, that’s a blessing. When you greet someone with a sincere hug, that’s a blessing. When you treat someone the way you want to be treated, that’s a blessing.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Do you not know God can see everything you do (omni-present)? Do you not know God can hear everything you say? When you ask God to bless you in a specific way, He is able to do that and more. However, you must also understand God does not bless evil. When you treat His children in an evil and devilish way, He will not bless you with more. My friend, Don’t Be A Hindrance But A Blessing! Be the person who speaks life. Be the person who displays the glory of God wherever you go. The Bible declares in Matthew 5:16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. The worse thing to see is a nasty and evil Believer. A person who confesses Christ with their mouth, but acts like the devil. Each day, there are a number of people who come into your presence. They either work with you, live by you, attend church with you, or interact with you by e-mail and telephone. Don’t Be A Hindrance But A Blessing!
My brother, my sister, you are chosen to reflect the glory of God. You are hand-selected to represent Christ. You are an Ambassador. The Bible declares in Luke 6:38 – Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Beloved, think about the lives you could impact for the Kingdom of God if you would become determined to bless everyone you meet. Don’t Be A Hindrance But A Blessing! Can God count on you to be the best representative? Can God trust you with the blessings He pours in your hands? Today, you should make it your point to bless every person you see through your smile, a nice e-mail, or a simple phone call. Do not allow your flesh to hinder your spirit from blessing others. Prayer for Today: Father, help me become a blessing to everyone and not a hindrance. Help me reflect Your glory and represent Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
