Let it flow

Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a great weekend and is looking forward to a week of new opportunities, favor and blessings. Yesterday’s were great but God has fresh ones in store for us this week. It’s good to receive but it’s even better when we can give and be a blessing to others.

As this week transpires, be sensitive to the Spirit and let yourself be led by God to be a blessing to those around you. Ask Him to open your spiritual eyes to see the need. We are Jesus’ hands and feet here on earth, we are His eyes and ears; let us impact our surroundings by reflecting Jesus in us.

This morning I was reading a devotional and I wanted to share this part.

"He (God) expects us to be channels for Him to flow through, not reservoirs that hold everything we have for ourselves".

I love this and it reminds us that what we have been given by grace, we should give it others. God has given each and every one of us so much! We have future pastors, teachers, singers, worship leaders, business women, many are used in dreams and prophecy, others are great counselors, and many have the gift of serving which is huge.

We all have gifts and talents that God (by His grace) has given to us and what He is telling us is that we are to be channels of blessings. Through us, His gifts will flow, through us the anointing He has given us will flow and will touch and transform the lives that need it most.

We are not to be reservoirs where there is no outlet and everything is kept to ourselves.  The only way God will entrust us with more is by giving (releasing). The more we give to others what by grace God has given to us, He will give us more. Just as the streams of water are constantly flowing through the channel, God's outpouring will be constant in our lives. And as water is released from the channel, (guess what?) more water comes into the channel.
As we continue to give to others, God will continue to give to us.

God is a great mathematician; there are never losses or negative balances. He knows no division or subtraction. His mathematical skills are always addition and multiplication.

We are channels who give, not reservoirs who withhold. With God, it's always a win-win situation.

Be Blessed, Be Encouraged!

Overdose of Overflow

My cup overflows with your blessings. -Psalm 23:5

When God blesses, rest assure that there will be no shortage of blessings. The bible speaks about blessings that overflow.  Psalm 23:5 doesn't say that the cup was empty, or half way full. It doesn't even say that the cup full, it says that it was so full that it was overflowing. There was an outpouring of blessings over that cup.  That’s how God wants to bless each and every one of us!

You may feel like you’re stuck in a dry place right now, but I have good news for you. There is water coming your way!  You may feel like the people of Israel, wandering in the desert for 40 years but you’re coming close to The Promise Land.  You may feel like you just can’t get out of a certain situation but God has other plans and there's a shift about to happen. Overflow is coming your way!

 

God’s blessings will follow you everywhere you go and He’s simply not going to give you “just enough” so you can get by; No! He’s going to give you more than what you could have imagined.  Are you ready for your blessing?  I hope you have your cup ready because God is about to pour out His blessings on you in such a way that it will make your cup overflow.  There will be an overdose of overflow, which will cover your family and even those around you that need to be blessed; God will use you to be a blessing to others. Get ready!

The moment we realize that The Lord is our Shepard and we shall lack nothing, we understand that the provision comes from above, not from anyone or anything.  You may have the best career but the blessing comes from the Lord. You may have the best gifts and talents but the blessing comes from the Lord.  In those moments of “want” or “need” He is Jehovah Jireh; our Provider; we shall lack nothing because we have recognized that the blessing comes from above.

He will guide us in the right path and we shall fear no evil because God is with us every step of the way, the blessing comes from above.  Surely Goodness and Mercy will follow us every day of our lives because we have allowed the Lord to direct our path, the blessing comes from above. Do you want favor over your life? Let God direct your life. Want every place you set your feet on to be blessed, let God take the lead and He will take you to the Promise Land, to the place where there will be an outpouring, flood-like, tsunami , overdose of overflowing blessings over your life and everything you touch.

Want an overdose? Grab your cup!

Be Encouraged, Be Blessed!                                                                                                                         Landy Perez-Feliciano ♥
