Suppose you have just
heard of someone whose financial debts have been miraculously cleared. Or your
elated friend has just told you that despite being an average student in
school, he scored straight As in all his subjects. Perhaps on Sunday, you heard
a newlywed couple share about how they won an all-expenses-paid trip for two to
Hawaii, or how a once-childless couple is now expecting their miracle child.
When you see or hear
of others being blessed, do you ever wonder when it will be your turn? Or do
you even find yourself saying, “Oh, he got blessed with the very thing that I
have been praying for. There goes my blessing.”
Now, just because
man’s economy operates on the principle of shortage, it does not mean that God
operates in the same manner. So the next time somebody gets blessed, tell
yourself, “I won’t be disheartened. I won’t be jealous. I am the next one to be
blessed!”
Always remember that
God does not have to bless anyone at your expense. Nor does He have to bless
you at anyone’s expense. We don’t have to be jealous of each other. There is a
portion that God gives to you which no man can touch because it has your name on
it—“A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven”
(John 3:27).
Our God is a rich God.
He owns the whole universe. He has contacts and blessings you do not know of
and which are reserved just for you! There is more than enough for everybody
with plenty of leftovers. In fact, you will not be able to take it all because
when the blessings start coming in, they will come in a net-breaking,
boat-sinking style. You will have to call for your friends in the other boats
to come and help you (see Luke 5:1–7)! That is the kind of blessings that our
God gives. So get ready for your blessings and overflowing abundance! (Article
