Passing on GOD’s blessings

Posted on 31 Oct 2019

GOD blesses us to be blessing to somebody else.

Ephesians 4:25-28

25Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27Neither give place to the devil. 28Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

1 Timothy 6:17-18

17Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

18Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

GOD has blessed every one of us for us to be blessing to somebody else. That’s mean I want GOD to do something in your life through me for your good.

He saved you;

*in order to keep you being destroyed by sin in your life.

*In order for us to conform to likeness of His Son. GOD will work in our life in such a fashion that the very character of LORD Jesus will be our character, our conduct will be like His conduct so each one of us will be walking, living example of LORD Jesus Christ.

*If you are saved your place in heaven eternally settled deal. He placed us in heavenly places with LORD Jesus. In order that He might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. We are living example of GOD’s grace and mercy towards us. There is no single one of us deserves GOD’s grace.

Ephesians 2:5-7

5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

*He saved us to bring Himself glory. Our salvation is an honour to Him. He saves us in honour that we do His work, now that He is not here. We are His eyes and ears. He came to our lives in order to do something through us.

Mark 10:45

45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Luke 22:27

27For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

If I am going to be a follower of LORD Jesus I got to have a servant spirit.

He fed them when they were hungry, he healed them when they were sick, He forgave people of their sins, He comforted them, He assured them, He was patient with them when they did not understand, and He gave the peace.

*He forgave people of their sins

John 8:11

11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.

*He comforted

John 11:25-26

25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

*He comforted

John 14:1-3

1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me. 2My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

*He assured them

John 14:18

18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

*He was patient with them when they did not understand

John 3:3

3Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

John 14:6

6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 14:27

27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

He knew the heart of every person.

Give your life away to other people. Happiest people are the ones generous and give away.

LORD Jesus was a sharer and a servant, if I am follower of LORD Jesus I must be sharer and a servant.
