It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever found yourself apologizing to your family members and peers because God has abundantly blessed you? Instead of others celebrating with you, they spent most of their time griping and moaning about God’s blessings in your life. Have you ever found yourself trying to hide the blessings God has bestowed in your life? You attempt to cover the new things God has granted unto you. Because of fear of rejection you start hiding all of the many wonderful things God has given you. Are you trying to appease everyone in your life? Are you trying to make everyone like you and accept you? Are you compromising the blessings of God in your life because family members and peers cannot handle how God is using you?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Do you realize how much God adores you? He did not ask the committee before He blessed you. He did not seek a 2/3 vote of approval before He chose you. God is the majority by Himself. He does not require man’s nod of acceptance. You have what you have because God chose to do it for you. Stop apologizing to others because they cannot handle what God is doing in and for you. You Are Blessed Like That! The Bible declares in John 15:16 – Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you. You are exceedingly blessed because God hand-selected you for such a time as this. It was no mistake. God did not accidentally choose you. Your past short-comings were not hidden from the Lord when He chose you. You are blessed because God saw fit to bless you.
My brother, my sister, why do you spend your time trying to explain God’s mighty acts in your life? Why do you concern yourself with the opinions of others when it comes down to the work God is doing through you? You Are Blessed Like That! The Bible declares in Genesis 12:3 – And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Beloved, you are a chosen vessel of God. He placed something awesome within you. It matters not what others say or think about you. For every person who rejects you, there will be many who will receive you. You are blessed by the hands of God. Remember these important words: God has blessed you so you can bless others. This is why God has blessed you. He blessed you because He knew you would turn and bless others. A selfish person will never fully receive from the Lord. What you have is not just for you to keep to yourself. The Bible declares in 2 Corinthians 9:6 – But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
