Today’s Devotional Written By My Spiritual Daughter Whose Spirit Is Ever Expanding In Knowledge and Sensitivity: Tracy Koweh
It’s All About Who?............
Luke 6:38 (Amplified Bible)
38Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour [a]into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.
Today’s message in the music comes from Mya’s “It’s All About Me”. The first two lines of the chorus say, “Tonight it`s bout me, me, me, me, me. Forget about you you you you you”. Yesterday sitting in church, the Lord dropped this song into my spirit. At first I assumed He was going to make the revelation that its time for us to make it all about Him. That everything we do should be about and for Him, but that’s not what happened.
God showed me that this is what is happening to the body of Christ. We are letting our fellow brother or sister fall by the wayside as we continue to go higher and higher. We are so busy trying to get out blessing, that we lose sight of blessing someone else. We are so anxious to get our deliverance and forgiveness, that we forget others need a breakthrough and our forgiveness.
A few weeks ago my Bishop pointed out that as much as we pray the Lord’s Prayer, we never have truly paid attention to the very first word, Our………….it says OUR Father which art in heaven. In today’s society it’s easy to fall into the “every man for himself” attitude, but as Christians it is God’s desire that we be there for others. Jesus was the greatest example when He laid down his life for us. Sometimes we do the smallest thing for someone, and expect an announcement to made as breaking news on CNN, when really we should need no recognition at all.
Today as we begin another week, let us look for opportunities to pour into the lives of others. What you take the time out to do for someone else, God will take the time out to do for you. If your marriage is failing, bless someone else’s. If your finances are shaky, give more to the kingdom. As we prepare to enter into this holiday season, show God how thankful you truly are………..by using your time, energy, finances and gifts to bless someone else.
