A woman of God was told by God to pay the school fees of a widow in a church. She obeyed and paid the fees. She got home to find that God had instructed someone else to pay her own son’s school fees. What was paid for one term was far more than training the widow’s son through school. God blesses those who choose to be a blessing.
Friend, God wants you to be a channel of His blessings, not a destination (Psalms 112:1-10). If God cannot pass it through you, He cannot pass it to you (Genesis 12:1-3). You are not called to be a reservoir that stores, but a river that distributes. You are blessed to be a blessing.
When God blesses you, don’t only raise your standard of living. Raise your standard of giving (Luke 12:16-21). In economics, we talk of standard of living, but in the Kingdom, God talks of standard of giving (1 Timothy 6:17-19). Your increase is an invitation to become a bigger blessing.
God is not looking for equal giving but equal sacrifice (2 Samuel 24:24). God does not just look at what you gave, He looks at what is left after you gave (Mark 12:41-44). Sacrifice is a language of the Spirit. When you give sacrificially, you provoke divine response.
Giving is not a church fundraising strategy; it is a Kingdom responsibility (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). We don’t give to help a church; we give to participate in God’s economy. It is our duty as Kingdom people to let our open hands meet needs and advance God’s work on earth (Philippians 4:15-19).
When you refuse to be a channel to others, you unknowingly block your own channel. What you give activates men and angels for you (Luke 6:38, Acts 20:35). Your vision must move from acquisition to distribution (2 Corinthians 9:8-15). A true millionaire is not one who has a million in his account, but one who has affected a million lives through his generosity.
