Stop Looking at the Messenger

“God is no respecter of persons.” – Acts 10:34

There’re no physical cars, houses, jobs, clothes, money, etc. in Heaven. When God wants to bless us with any of these, He places it in the hands of someone around us.

We’re mostly aware of this fact. Nevertheless, sometimes we make the mistake of expecting the blessing to come from the people who look like they can afford it.

Surely this would be true if the blessing was a gift from a well-to-do benefactor. But if the blessing is actually your blessing: a direct provision from God to you and not just someone’s wish, then it doesn’t matter the state or status of the person.

Stop looking at the wealthy around you for your blessing. God put Elijah’s food in the hands of a widow who could barely feed herself. (1 Kings 17)

Stop looking at the state of the people around you for your blessing. The Israelites slaves were inundated with gifts of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing by a people who had just lost their firstborn sons! (Ex 12:36)

Stop looking at the “anointing” of the people around you. Naaman, the leprous Syrian general, got his healing breakthrough from a captive girl (2 Kin 5:1-3).

Indeed, stop looking at people; look to God. A messenger does not need to be a millionaire first before he can be asked to deliver a million-dollar cheque to another party. When we remember this principle, we’ll respect everyone around us equally; because the money, the resource, the wisdom that you need for that breakthrough could come from anyone and from anywhere.

AMEN.

More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
