WINDOWS OF HEAVEN

"When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance." - Joel Osteen 

In actual fact, Joel Osteen captures the entire summary of man's essence on earth; being a blessing to others. We aren't here just to occupy space. No! Charles Stanley says further, "If you tell God no because He won't explain the reason He wants you to do something, you are actually hindering His blessing. But when you say yes to Him, all of heaven opens to pour out His goodness and reward your obedience. What matters more than material blessings are the things He is teaching us in our spirit."

Isn't it intriguing that God repeatedly said in His word, that he will open the windows of heaven, but pour out ONLY a blessing? We may think that 'a blessing' shouldn't come out of many windows because it's singular. In our little minds we wonder why God wouldn't just open one window since it's ONE blessing He wants to pour out. I mean why waste it, right? Wrong! Steve Jobs is dead but he still lives in a way through his products (iPad, iPhone, iPod etc.) Bill Gates might not be your neighbour but you know him for

Microsoft. What about Mark Zuckerberg? Doesn't Facebook come to mind immediately you hear his name?

ONLY one blessing from God is what you actually need to be who He's made you to be. That ONE blessing, it will interest you to know, is embedded in that one nagging problem that makes you so uncomfortable like a grain of sand under your eyelid. It doesn't matter how stupid, that ONE idea is to you: if God gave it to you, then that's your blessing. Work it. Grow it. Improve on it. When you get confused along the line, he opens the WINDOWS of heaven. What are these windows? A seeing eye, a hearing ear, and an understanding heart to nudge you in the right direction. Ask God for your ONE blessing today and the windows of heaven will be opened to you. Shalom!
