Get Interested In Others – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional July 29th

(Be A Giver And A Blesser)

TO THE BIBLE: Philippians 2:4 AMPC
“Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others.”

LET’S TALK
As a child of God, be known as one who remembers, cares for, and loves people genuinely. That is what counts with God. Be the giver and the blesser.

The Bible says, “…It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). The blessing you receive because of those who remember you is little compared to that which you receive when you remember others and give to them.

When you receive from others, all you have is what you got. God’s promise isn’t to the one who receives but to the one who gives.

So, rather than seek attention, give it instead. Don’t seek love; give love. Demonstrate love to everyone, including those who might have offended you and the ungodly that have no hope. That’s how God wants you to live.

He said in Luke 6:27-31 TPT, “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies and do something wonderful for them in return for their hatred.

When someone curses you, bless that person in return. When others mistreat and harass you, accept it as your mission to pray for them. To those who despise you, continue to serve them and minister to them.

If someone takes away your coat, give him as a gift your shirt as well. When someone comes to beg from you, give to that person what you have. When things are wrongly taken from you, do not demand they be given back. The way you want others to treat you is how you should treat everyone else.”

There’re people who only want to receive from others and enjoy attention from others; they only crave for others to love them.

But read what the Lord said, “The way you want others to treat you is how you should treat everyone else.” You’re the seed of Abraham, and the seed of Abraham reaches out in love; he hears the cry of the needy and responds.

Isn’t that what God said concerning Abraham and His seed? He said in you shall all the nations of the earth be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3, 18:17-18, 22:15-18).

You’re the answer; you’re the solution. Fulfil your calling as the blesser and the giver; it’s the higher way of life! Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for your grace upon my life to help, lift and build others; thank you for your love that’s shed abroad in my heart, which I dispense lavishly to everyone in my world. I was born as the answer to the cry of millions, and through me, your blessing flows to others today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
