Blessed to be a Blessing – Kingdom man
By Tony Evans
Pg. 105
What does that mean to me?
I’m beginning to understand that concept again: being a blessing. I’m learning that we all have something to offer each other in Christ. I felt helpless like I always needed someone to bail me. I felt like I would forever be on the receiving end. But I see in the Kingdom of God everyone is blessed with a gift to be a blessing to each other whatever it may be. I have substance my substance is Christ. Christ is the strength of my life. Christ is all of us substance. Christ is in all so we never look down, but look up at each other.
Eph 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you[a] all.
What is the application?
How can I be a blessing to my neighbor, that is the question to ask.
“You know that you have been blessed when you are able to enjoy the goodness of God despite the trials and tribulations associated with what you are doing. And you have access to enough strength, assets, and capacity to do what you have been called to do.”
This is so true I’ve been going through to be established financially. Pressure from bills along with a project that is quite a challenge. I’m still standing in the fight. I was and still running the race of life with patience. You know I thought life was absence of trouble, but life is life and more life in trouble. It doesn’t mean everyday I going through something. It means I have rest in the storm.
Through this trying time I prayed and prayed to the point my heart is set on Jesus because He is the keeper in the storm. (At the moment Hurricane Isaac is might be heading this way).
Everybody is Christ is Strong. Because He is all our strength. “God is above all then in all and through all”
