*📖CALLED TO BE BLESSED*
👉(Reading: 1 Peter 3:1-15)
🗓Thursday, October 15
📜Do not repay evil with evil, or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing *1 Peter 3:9 (KJV)*
📋The call of God for mankind is a call to receive a blessing. To be blessed is to be empowered to succeed, increase, multiply and to flourish in life. There is more to being a Christian than we have ever thought. Some have wrongly thought that Christians don’t have to flourish in life. This is a myth that must be done away with in the body of Christ. This myth has put fear into some people and that has inhibited them from accepting the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear about the call to which we have responded. It says “to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.” We must rest assured that we were called by God to inherit a blessing. None of us was called to inherit a curse. What is the nature of this blessing? According to the book of Proverbs, “The blessing of the Lord brings wealth and adds no trouble to it” (Proverbs 10:22). We must learn to take God at his word. This blessing is to take care of everything that concerns us. The mind of God for us is for him to bless us. Expect God to bless you as a child of God.
_*🛐Meditation And Prayer:*_ Lord, you have called me to receive a blessing not a curse. I am very grateful for this honour.
