Text: 2 Timothy 4:6-7
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The Sun is one of the greatest luminary objects that God has made. Its greatness is tied to its usefulness in serving the world. It does not shine for itself; each time it rises it brings joy to the world because of its impact. Without it the whole world will be in darkness and will die of food scarcity within a few years.
It’s because the Sun continues to be a channel of blessing that the Earth has not become a frozen wasteland. We have warmth, solar powered homes, cars, and other appliances.
God has placed us believers on the global stage to shine as stars. Darkness is not supposed to hold sway when we allow ourselves to be true channels of blessings.
God called Abram and said, to him “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.” Genesis 12:1-2
His cooperation and obedience paved way for God to make him a channel of blessing indeed.
It is more blessed to give than to receive. When you talk about giving, a lot of times we think ofr money or material things only. However, giving is beyond that. In 2 Timothy 4:6a, Apostle Paul said, “For I am already being poured out like a drink offering…” .
Being “poured out like a drink offering” signifies living a life of selfless service, dedicating one’s time, talents, and resources to God’s purposes and the welfare of others. It signifies a life lived in devotion, sacrifice, and a willingness to give oneself fully for the cause of Christ.
The more you allow God’s blessings to flow through you to others the more blessed you become yourself. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverbs 11:25
Key Nugget: The more you allow God’s blessings to flow through you to others the more blessed you become yourself
