Summary: So many people miss out on all that God has for them because they are weighted down by the world and the drama of life..Some people almost feel guilty when they have been blessed, Now..who do you suppose would want to make you feel that way??

Who wants to be a Millionaire?

Who hasn't ever thought about making a lot of money..

Or who hasn't ever wished they would hit the lotto..

When it was a couple of hundred million dollars?

Even if your the most adamant against gambling..

Who hasn't thought about how they would spend the winnings..

would it be a lump sum or an long term payout and who they would Bless with whatever taxes didn't take??

Truth is..while a million dollars is a lot of money

It's a self imposed limit..when it comes to the Blessing

that God wants to Flow in, around and through your life...

and whether it would be one, ten, or a hundred..

There is nothing impossible..when you put your complete faith and trust in Him!

Amen?

John 1:16-18 MSG

We all live off his generous bounty,

gift after gift after gift.

We got the basics from Moses,

and then this exuberant giving and receiving,

This endless knowing and understanding—

all this came through Jesus, the Messiah.

No one has ever seen God,

not so much as a glimpse.

This one-of-a-kind God-Expression,

who exists at the very heart of the Father,

has made him plain as day.

God wants to pour out His blessing and favor upon you each and every day.

and whether we notice it or not.."HE DOES!"

Psalms 68:3,4,19 NKJ

3. But let the righteous be glad;

Let them rejoice before God;

Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.

4. Sing to God, sing praises to His name;

Extol Him who rides on the clouds,[a]

By His name YAH,

And rejoice before Him.

19. Blessed be the Lord,

Who daily loads us with benefits,

The God of our salvation! Selah

It says that He daily loads us with benefits!

let them rejoice exceedingly.

4. Sing to God, sing praises to His name;

We of all people..should be happy!

Each and everyday..there's another load of Benny's

and Have we done anything to deserve them?..

"NO" but that doesn't stop them from coming and being there

each and every day..

And whether we acknowledge them or not..

Doesn't change the fact that there real and tangible..

And that they exist each and everyday for us to enjoy..

Amen?

So..why in the world aren't more people happy?

Everybody knows that money doesn't buy happiness..

And while having money can be considered a blessing..

we're not just talking about money

We're talking about the blessings of God..

and Gods Blessings are all encompassing..

they are all inclusive and made up of anything and everything

and not limited to anything..but Gods imagination..

which knows no limitations

So many people miss out on all that God has for them because they are weighted down by the world and the drama of life...

Some people almost feel guilty when they have been blessed,

Now..who do you suppose would want to make you feel that way??

We know it certainly wouldn't be someone who was intentionally trying to make benefits and blessings available to you each and every day for your enjoyment

But yet..most people feel that way..

They'll say something like..it must be nice to have a new whatever..

Almost like they expect you to defend Gods generosity..

Proverbs 10:22 RSV

The blessing of the Lord makes rich,

and he adds no sorrow with it

Go ahead and tell them it is!

It's wonderful..it's amazing..you should try it sometime!

You can you know..

Because Jesus makes it possible for all to enjoy

Gods Generosity! Amen?

And not that Gods generosity..needs defended

But what an better opportunity to tell them and the world for that matter..

"about how good God is, and how good He is to those that serve Him"

Did you know..a lot of people are mislead and don’t really know how Good God takes care of His own.

Tell them it doesn’t have anything to do with how good you are, but everything to do with how good He is.

Notice what today’s verse tells us about where His blessings come from— they come from the fullness of His grace.

Here's how Webster defines Grace

A gift of God to humankind: in Christianity, the infinite (that means unending) love, mercy, favor, and goodwill shown to humankind by God 3. freedom from sin: in Christianity, the condition of being free of sin, through repentance to God.

God’s grace comes to us..by His unmerited favor..

And that means we can’t earn it..

We can’t work for it..

we can’t change His mind about it, even if we tried.

He pours out His blessing on us not because of what we do, but because of who He is.

Did you know..a lot of people have a problem with God and giving,

But you see their misguided..

they think that all God ever wants, is for them to give.

They clearly don’t have any idea how big of a giver God truly is.

They might say well what about tithing..

Tithing is about giving.."yep" caught me on that one..

What do you want to know about it?

I can tell one thing for sure about it..

It's the same for everyone, it's an opportunity to give god praise..

And trust Him more than you trust in your ability and money!

TBS.(the bible says) Give and it shall be giving pressed down shaken together and running over.

That’s the kind of Giver God is!!

That's the kind of blessing from God, tithing unlocks, if you will let it!

Malachi 3:10 NKJ

10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,

That there may be food in My house,

And try Me now in this,”

Says the Lord of hosts,

“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven

And pour out for you such blessing

That there will not be room enough to receive it.

God says..if you'll trust me and give me just a portion of what you have..

I give you more back..the MSG bible says

Then you can imagine..in your wildest dreams!

Amen? No wonder why the accuser fights people so hard about getting ahold of the concept of tithing..

because he knows what's possible when you do..it's more like

What's not possible when somebody gets ahold of

Gods way of thinking! Amen?

With God TBS. All things are Possible

The world needs to know though, He gives to His children in so many different ways

and the only way their going to find out is, if you are going to be willing to tell them

The most amazing thing is..almost to the point of unbelievable..

"But His blessings are based on His goodness, Not ours"

Deuteronomy 28:2

and all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you…

Psalms 23:6 NKJ

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life;

And I will dwell[a] in the house of the Lord

Forever.

God loves to bless you..so much so He instructs

goodness and mercy to follow you around to do it..

Amen?

He has even declared that “blessings shall come upon you and overtake you”.

Amen?

This means that you can’t run fast enough to escape them!

When you turn one corner, there is a blessing waiting for you..

When you turn another corner, you run smack dab into another blessing!

This is what the world needs to hear and exactly what the devil doesn’t want them to hear,

because this message would the world a tremendous amount of HOPE.

Which it so desperately needs in this day and age.

And it does give hope..to all who to hear and choose what God has in store for them in their life!

Now, someone might think that they don’t qualify for God’s blessings

And they would be absolutely correct..on our own merit

There's not one of us that would qualify

for Gods Blessings in and over our lives.

That's what's so amazing about Gods Marvelous Provision!

He knows us inside out..

He knows we're not worthy or able..of qualifying on our own..

That's why He made the way, so we didn't have to..

He sent Jesus to take our place and do it for us..

And our relationship with Jesus..when we accept and

Know Him as Lord and Saviour..

we automatically become qualified..to participate and become a recipient of everything He has designed for us..

2 Corinthians 3:4-5 NLT

4. We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ.

5. It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.

Everyone who doesn’t know better says, “But I don’t deserve them.”

And you can share with them because you do know.

Yes your right, you don’t deserve them, no one does.

But you still get them..and you are entitled to them

Through your relationship with Jesus and because of His finished work on the cross.

That is God’s Amazing Grace..

The law says, “Its based on what you do, to deserve the blessings.”

But the law is no longer here... Because of Jesus, Grace is here.

So take the blessings by grace through faith. Believe God for the blessings..

And receive them..and when He delivers them

Share them with others and tell them how you got them..

Don't be worried about sharing..or about getting more or running out..

that's the way the world thinks..remember "He loadeth us daily with Benefits"

Everyday there will always be More..

Gods word has already declared it to be so...It's a done deal!

More people need to hear the good news of the gospel, and their not going to hear it out there in the world.

Its our job to tell them that they can,

*Receive His grace..

*Receive His forgiveness..

*Receive His Gospel Message

So They don’t have to carry the guilt

and condemnation of this world anymore..They can be set free!

If they’ll just, make Jesus the Lord of their life and

Open their heart and mind and believe as to what God wants to do in their life..

"From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another"

(John 1:16, NIV).

He really is able and wants to, pour out His goodness upon everyone with one blessing after another!

God has a place at His Bountiful Table of Provision...reserved just for you

Why not come and eat at His endless buffet..and eat until you get your full?

And while your at it..how about a doggie bag to take with you

So you can share with family and friends about the endless

Goodness of God?

Amen?
