My Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the Lord bless you. Take with from the book of Proverbs 11:25, “And he who waters will also be watered, himself.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Usually there is a saying, that the well that is drawn from, will spring forth more water. ’’So only when you keep drawing water from a well will there be a spring of water rising from the well. Only if you drink the water from your glass, it will become empty for you to pour water into it. If the glass is full, then you cannot pour water into it. If you pour, then all the water will go to waste. That is what this verse tells you. That means if you water the field, you will also be watered yourselves.
If you see in the Bible, there was a disciple named Tabitha known as Dorcas. She did not go about preaching with the Bible. Neither did she go to pray for anyone. But what she did was only one thing. She helped the widows who were struggling for their livelihood. She was known as a disciple who did good works. This is what is mentioned about her in the Bible. One day she died. So she was placed in the coffin box, and people were getting ready to bury her. As soon as Peter came, and saw that she was to be buried, with her face covered. At that point of time, all the widows who benefited through her, showing the clothes that she made for them, they all cried over her death.
They were crying before the Lord saying “Lord she was such a good disciple. She gave us clothes and garments which she stitched by herself, but you have taken her away. They reminded the Lord about all the good things which Thabitha had done for them. God knowing this , as soon as Peter entered her house, God asked Peter to rise her from the death bed. So peter who came to conduct the burial rites for Dorcas, he just said, “Get up Thabitha.” And she woke up. What caused her to rise from the death bed , was because of the water she had poured for others. The heaven in turn poured the water, that is expansion of life. Or life for another period, extended her life span and God blessed her to relive her life that she might do greater things for others.
So when you do good things the Lord will bless you. Today you make a decision, to help all those who are poor, living around you. Or the members of your family, who are in need of help. But do it without any expectations. Then it will be a great boon to you and your family. Do what you can. For those who have no means of food, clothing, or education, and help them to find a source of income. These will bring virtue in your life.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You. God says, “And he who waters will also be watered, himself.” May the Lord open the windows of heaven and pour water upon them. May the Lord bless the business of such children, who pour water for others, or help others. And may the hand of the Lord be with them to expand boundaries, expand income, expand wealth, and expand influence among others. Let it protect them at all costs so that evil diseases, debt, and death do not grieve them or cause sorrow to them. May the Lord do the same for all the children as He blessed Jabez.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
