BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING
Genesis 12:2

In our Christian life we are like a cup - our primary responsibility is to be used to transfer the blessings of God.

John 4:14;7:38 / Psalm 23:5
His everlasting pitcher -> our cup -> others

Isaiah 37:31
When we bear fruit - the fruit is for others
A fruit tree never bears fruit for itself - It is always for someone else

 

Areas that Christians are blessed to be a blessing:

 

Money
Deuteronomy 8:18/Luke 6:38
The abundance that God blesses us with should be used to spread the Gospel throughout the earth

Message / Modeling
1 Corinthians 11:1 / Philipians 4:9 / 1 Thessalonians 1:6-8
We are called to send out a message with our lifestyles. We should be an example of how the Christian walk is supposed to be lived.

2 Corinthians 3:2-3
We are written epistles. What type of book are you? Are you allowing the pages of Christ to be read or is it your own pages being read?

Ministry
1 Corinthians 14:26
We should gather together with other believers with an attitude of expecting to give something instead of always receiving.

Mouth
Luke 6:28 / Deuteronomy 28:1-14
We need to learn to speak blessings over people. Say to people what God would say about them. Speak Deutoronomy 28 blessings over them.

Genesis 49:1 & 27 / Philipians 3:5 / Acts 8:1-3
What you speak over your family has lasting results. What Jacob spoke over his children came to pass some 1,500 years later.
