To be blessed, give place to charity in all your endeavors. Channel out, so that God can give you a channel in.

In our quest to get bless often time, what we want is more of this, more of that and more of everything. God's blessings don't flow in that way, you are not blessed to contain, you are blessed to be a blessing.

The more the flow out, the more the expansion of your container and the flow in. That's God's principle for blessing

Don't let your eyes be closed to the man, the woman or the child who is in need of your help. It might be little little to you, but I'm sure it would surely mean a lot to him or her. It might be something unused to you, but something of great importance to him or her.

Their is always somebody you are better than in your family, environment, even at work. God strategically put him or her there because you are there. Are you not failing in seeing to his or her need?

Asking for more from God equals asking for more responsibility, if you are responsible with the little in your hand, He knows how to multiply it so as for you to be able to meet more needs.

Have you ever been blessed for been a blessing to others? If you are not, I am. What I make happen for others always have a way of coming back to me. Often time, it is not from the man or woman I helped. Usually, I don't even help so as to be helped by this initiative help, I help because I felt their is a need to be met in others.

Don't close your eyes to the needs of people around you. God is tired of some of our prayer requests, He don't complain but I do... Smile

How can you store up food in your house and someone is dying of hunger and all you could do is to pray, don't you think that God put you there as answer to the prayer at such a time.

What is the essence of all the unused clothes, shoes and other items in your house when your brother is naked and in need of them? Try and put smile on his face. What worth nothing to you mean a lot to him

You are not poor to the extent of saying kind words to others. If that's all you have, please give. Complement is all what some people need to be sure that they they are loved and valued. Words like "you look beautiful today", "you did a great job", 'nice trier" and the likes cost you nothing but always mean something.

Their was this story of man who has purposed in his heart to commit suicide, but he changed his mind on the way because somebody complimented him. What of if that fellow decided to keep quiet?

I saw this on a friend page on instagram yesterday IMG_20180512_151806_031.jpg and it speak volume, whether unto God or unto men, learn to use kind words, it cost you nothing, but it mean something

I am @emmakkayluv and I love you all
