BE A CHANNEL OF BLESSING - Dr Mike Okonkwo The Presiding Bishop (TREM)

-
“And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.” Genesis 12:2 (KJV)

God’s intention is for you to be a very profitable channel that blesses humanity. The more you release, the more He pours out unto you; therefore, always see yourself as a channel of blessing. Don’t ever say you don’t have anything because every person has something to give. Go out of your way and give of your substance whenever there is a need. Always remember that whenever you give towards putting food on someone else’s table or clothing on a person’s back, you are actually lending to the Lord. Let me assure you that you can never give to make life better for others and go away empty handed. God is obligated to replenish your storehouse when you give to the poor.

In Luke 10, Jesus told His disciples the story of the Good Samaritan in order to demonstrate who His neighbour was. According to the story, a certain man on his way to Jericho fell among thieves and was robbed, stripped, wounded, and left for dead. The Good Samaritan was the one who was sensitive enough to meet the needs in the man’s life. Beloved, it’s not all about money; you can meet a need in many different ways. Right now, there are lots of you who have stacks of beautiful clothes, shoes, and accessories in your wardrobes that no one is really using. Bless others with them. Being a source of blessing to others is one way of sharing the goodness of God in your life.

There is someone out there who is praying that God will meet a need in his or her life. And guess what? You may just be the answer to that prayer. I encourage you to go out of your way and find areas where you can be of assistance to those who are in dire need. I can assure you that whatever you give to them in love the Lord will richly reward you for in return.

                    MAKING A DIFFERENCE! It is very important that as a woman, you must know the purpose for which you are created. You are created to make a difference in your world. From Genesis Chapter 2, you will discover that after God created the woman, the work of creation stopped. God was satisfied. God saw His mission as accomplished. He knew that if the woman would perform her role as God’s last born, the world would become a different place. The woman at creation was the last to be created. She was not an after-thought. God made her last for specific reasons and purposes. We all know that naturally, the last born of a family enjoys more than the others. That is exactly what God has done with you as a woman. God has prepared you, the woman, as His last born and has prepared the best for you.  You will enjoy it! As a woman, you are the crown of God’s creation. For instance, if a king wants to put on his crown, he has to be completely dres
