Subject: A person whom God blesses
Verse: Proverbs 10:4
Therefore, God only wants to give us blessings and rewards.
However, there are many people who do not receive the blessings they receive from God and live their lives without even enjoying the blessings they have received. So, if we want God to guide our entire life with blessings, what are the basic things we need to have?
First, we must become dreamers.
Those who receive God's blessing are those who have dreams and visions for the future.
However, it cannot be achieved only by expectations and hopes, and there is no new work or self-development for those who do not have a vision for the future and look only at the past. Because God only blesses those who have dreams. God is looking for people who have dreams to give them blessings. That is why the Bible says [Call to thee, and I will answer you, and will show you great and mighty things that you do not know] (Jeremiah 33:3).
The size of dreams and visions is a vessel for God's blessings. To receive God's blessings, you must have a dream and cultivate that dream. However, even if you have a dream for the future, if it is not obtained through suffering with God, it will be shattered when faced with realistic circumstances.
Because dreams are given by God to bless us, we cannot achieve them without communion with God.
God finds people who have dreams and works God's work through them.
God cannot do business with people who do not have dreams.
Second, we must be diligent.
Many people use it to tease them diligently and to envy and envy others.
But the hand is an exercise of love, and the Bible tells us about this, [If you seek God diligently and pray to the Almighty, and be pure and upright, he will surely visit you and make your righteous house prosperous.
But your last days will be exceedingly great] (Job 8:5-7). It also says [I love those who love me, and those who seek me earnestly find me] (Proverbs 8:17). The meaning of 'seeking me eagerly' is the same as 'He who seeks me at dawn finds me' in Hebrew. Therefore, when we live diligently, we can truly receive God's love and truly lead a blessed life where our souls can prosper, we can be rich, and we can give and lend.
Third, we must be clean people.
Those who meditate on the Word of God can live a holy and clean life.
Because the Bible says, “If you are clean and upright, he will surely visit you and make your righteous house prosper. Your beginning was small, but your end will be exceedingly great” (Job 8:6-7).
God made us His sons to give us the kingdom of God as an inheritance. The Bible says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” (Matthew 5:8). As such, God is talking a lot about the blessings He gives us when our hearts are clean through the Bible.
So, what can we do to keep our hearts clean? We must give up greed and covetousness. All of this cannot be done by our own strength, but only with God's help.
Fourth, we must be people who serve God and care for our neighbors.
Believers should serve Jesus because they have received God's love. When we serve God, we must first serve God with the best, whether in our hearts or in material things. The Bible says about this, “Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of your produce, and your storehouses will be full, and your presses will overflow with new wine” (Proverbs 3:9-10).
It also tells us that we should not spare material things to God. [Malachi 3 :10) is what you are saying. In this way, God is telling us about serving God even with material things.
That's not all. The Bible says, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious, for one day of suffering is sufficient for that day” (Matthew 6:33). Only those who can distinguish between what to do first and what to do later through the Word of God are ready to receive blessings. So, how should we serve those in need around us? We must serve with body, mind and material things. We must use all of our bodies, talents, minds, health, etc., to serve God.
God, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, is to seek out people who help others while serving God, to be glorified through him and to give God's wonderful blessings. The Lord still wants everyone who believes to live, enjoying blessings through their grace. Therefore, those who have dreams, are diligent, and have a pure heart, who serve God and take care of their neighbors, receive wonderful blessings from God. There are many things that cannot be done in our own strength, but only in the strength of the Lord.
Dear brothers and sisters, I pray in the name of the Lord that God's wonderful blessings work together in your homes as well.
