TEXT: “Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God” (2Cor 1:4)
Beloved, when the Lord walked you through the valley of the shadow of death, when He stood by you during a faith-stretching health crisis or financial meltdown, He did it with more on His mind than just your welfare. He cares for you, but He also likes to see a profitable return on every investment He makes on your life.
According to apostle Paul in today’s anchor scripture, God is saying to you and me: “The same comfort that I gave you, I expect you to give others.” He did not give you that financial blessing just because He wants you to be numbered among the richest. He expects you to give the same financial blessing to someone else who is in need.
Maybe you should have gone to jail or should have been dead, bankrupt, or sick, but God’s mercy covered you. You are still alive by the grace and mercy of God. God is saying: “In My mercy I kept you when you should have been caught. I preserved you when you should have been dead. I lifted you up when you should have gone bankrupt.” Now it is your turn to comfort others who are going through the same situation. This is the secret on how to swim in God’s blessing.
PRAYER: I pray that the Holy Spirit will teach you how to extend to others the same blessing that you have received, in Jesus name.
DAILY CONFESSION: This year 2023, I am finally on a Covenant Highway, Jesus is giving me Answers and I am enjoying Rest Round About – Amen and Amen!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: “God blessed you for you to be a blessing.”
