TOPIC – Be A Channel Of Blessing

READ: Proverbs 31:20-24 (NKJV)

  1. She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
  2. She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household [is] clothed with scarlet.
  3. She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing [is] fine linen and purple.
  4. Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.
  5. She makes linen garments and sells [them,] And supplies sashes for the merchants.

THE MESSAGE:

In life, it is required of a person that is blessed to be a blessing to others. The scripture says, “You shall open your hand wide unto your brother, the poor and the needy in the land” (Deuteronomy 15:11). In our text, the virtuous woman extends her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. Regrettably, most of us today do not have provisions for the less-privileged among us. Many do not know that part of the reason that they are blessed is for them to be a blessing to others. Some waste valuable resources in extravagant lifestyles instead of using them to change the fortune of people around them. In the case of the virtuous woman, her life brought honor to her husband (verse 23). She is equally a seamstress and a merchant as well (verse 24). You may not be all that the virtuous woman was but you can model your life through her lifestyle. That is the reason for the reference.

As you live and prosper, be successful for people around you. Let your progress in life impact on people that need help in your area of influence. Help the needy – create opportunities for the hopeless to get hope if God gives you capacity. Offer scholarships to the less-privileged if you can. Be resourceful and productive within your capacity. Always add value to your life, family and those around you.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, help me to put my resources and gifts on things that will please You, Amen!
