This was the theme of our church the Holy Ground Family Fellowship as we celebrated our 34th Anniversary dated March 29, 2009. The presentations are very inspiring. As the guest speaker shared the gospel everybody was seriously listening. I loved Rev. Eddie D. Chua deliver his speech. The way he emphasize the powerful words.
I've learned a lot of things. About me, my family, my love ones, my friends and of course about God. Indeed, we are blessed by God in order that we might be a blessing to others. Counting our blessings without then asking how God would like us to use those blessings. They are given to us, but they are not given only to us. In other words they are reward, a reward for faithfulness. But the reason that God rewards faithfulness is because faithful people share their blessing with others. Once we start keeping all the blessings to ourselves, either as individuals or as a church we are no longer faithful and the reward will stop.
God has blessed you. Count your blessings. But don't stop there. You are blessed to be a blessing. God's intention is that all the nations of the earth should be blessed by the actions of God's people. Some Christians make that mistake, thinking their own lives are to be barren while they give everything to others. No, it is much more gracious. It is like the miracle of the loaves and fishes. As we share the blessings we have, the blessing grows and multiplies until everyone is satisfied and still there are huge amounts of leftovers.
Enjoy God's blessings, count them one by one. Then pass them on wherever they are needed that through God's people all the nations of the earth should be blessed.
