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! (Luke
5:1–7) That is the kind of blessings that our God gives. So get ready
for your blessings and overflowing abundance!
