“But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” - ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭9:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Blessed to Be a Blessing

Your destiny will always involve a test. That test will always focus on whether you want to be a blessing or merely want to be blessed.

When you face that test, God uses it to examine your heart. Are you here for Him? Are you here for how He can use you to bless others? Or is this only about you? If it’s only about you, that’s selfishness and self-preservation. It removes you from God’s covenantal covering of favor, as you seek to grab as many treasures as you can stuff in your pockets.

One reason God often doesn’t do much with His people is that they aren’t willing to be used by Him.

Your value in the kingdom of God is not found in how much good you can get from God but in how much you allow Him to use you for the kingdom.
