"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
