Topic : Be A Blessing.

Memory Verse :3 John 1:3. I was so happy when some fellow-Christians arrived and told me how faithful you are to the truth — just as you always live in the truth.

Bible Reading :3 John 1:24-6. GNB. Key Verse: v5.

Nothing makes me happier than to hear that my children live in the truth. My dear friend, you are so faithful in the work you do for your fellow-Christians, even when they are strangers. They have spoken to the church here about your love. Please help them to continue their journey in a way that will please God.

One of the qualities God rewards in any man especially his children is faithfulness. It is also one of the yardsticks that heaven uses to measure success in whatever he commits to our care in the course of our service to him and the brethren. In 3rd John we see two types of men : the first person was Gaius who was being commended for his good works of obidience exhibited to or among the brethren which was full of love and in faithfulness too. His posture and activities was on the lips of others who was full of appreciation and their father in the Lord who was elder John had to acknowledge his commendable activities among the brethren and was blessing him for making his work easy. On the other side of the devide was another individual called Diotrephes who was walking contrary and in rebellion to the instructions of the elder and father and yet trying to usurp leadership and cause damages among the brethren through his rebellious activities.

Today as a child of God, you must make sure you don’t rock the boat and make the work of leaders difficult. Men who walk contrary are proud and unteachable. Some of them try to take power in rebellion therefore making the work cumbersome. Such people attract wrath instead of blessing of God at the end of the day. The book of James 4v6 submits that God resists or are into open combat with the proud and rebellious. Now think of where or whom a man can run to when God is fighting him??? If Satan, men or any others power fight you, you can always run to God for help, but when God himself fights a man, there will certainly be no hiding place because none can deliver from his mighty hands. ‭”In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.” 1 Peter 5:5-6 NIV‬.

Today, we must learn to be builders anywhere we find ourselves. We have to learn to live lives that will impact positively on everyone around us. Men should be able to give good testimony of us even when we are absent. Leaders we work under should feel blessed to have men like us in their team who makes their assignment easier. When we serve faithfully, we attract his blessings which attracts grace that makes men to prosper, spirit, soul and body, as the elder prayed into the life of beloved Gaius.‭

“The elder, To my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth. Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it.” 3 John 1:1-3 NIV‬.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for every opportunity to serve in your kingdom. From today, help me to be humble and faithful in everything I do for you. Let my life be such that impact and bless others in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Luke 22:1-13.
