Things don’t just happen, someone must make them happen.
People don’t just get salaries, they must work for it. Divine blessing is
something that the recipient must provoke into existence by doing something.
One of the things to be done is the act of giving or sowing.
In Gen 27, Bible says Isaac was very old and he
thought of blessing Esau which he could just have done by calling the young man
inside and blessing him. Rather, he demanded that Esau should sow by making him
a savory meat. In order words, my blessing is not free of charge; you have to
do something to get it. That’s man, how much God.
In 1 Kings 3, Bible says that King Solomon
sacrificed one thousand burnt offerings upon the altar for God, when God saw
this great act of sowing; He came down and gave Solomon a blank Cheque. As a
result of that encounter, 1 Kings 10:23-24 says, “So King Solomon exceeded all
the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. And all the earth sought to Solomon,
to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.”
If you want to be blessed of God, then you have to
be an unrepentant radical giver/sower. We all sing the song, give, it will come
back to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, but we
hardly do. Sir, God is not a beggar, He deserves the best. As a matter of fact,
if you want the best from God, you must give Him the best. Remember that only
the blessing of the Lord makes rich without adding any sorrow or regret to it.
If you think very well, you would realize that God
owns it all at first and you are just a custodian – the earth is the Lord’s and
its fullness. I pray for you that your acts of giving in this year would open you
up to a generational flow of divine blessing in Jesus Name. Amen!
