Blessing of the Lord

Blessing of the Lord

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. (Pro.10:22)

Truly, the blessing of the Lord makes us materially rich so that we can share our blessings with the poor and the needy. A lazy person who does not sow in the due season or who does not harvest in the harvest season cannot receive the blessing of the Lord. A minister of God who does not labor in God's vineyard but expects to live by the tithes and offerings does not receive the blessing of the Lord, even if he receives an abundance of tithes and offerings in his church or in his ministry. If you receive the blessing of the Lord in its true sense, then there is no sorrow with that. A megachurch pastor may receive an abundance of offerings from his church but may face raids by taxmen. If he accounts for each penny and uses a part of it for himself and for God's work in a transparent manner, then he does receive the blessing of the Lord. If he uses a mercedes benz for his comfort out of the unaccounted offerings and does not minister to the poor saints in his church or elsewhere, then the pastor himself adds sorrow with it. If it is truly the blessing of the Lord, it will make him materially rich and God does not add sorrow with that.
