Today, as I wanted to get away from the noise around coronavirus and the Steem debacle, I decided to scroll through my Facebook newsfeed instead. I was very pleasantly surprised to read some very edifying sharing. One post from a brother that caught my attention talked about how we can be a BLESSing to those around us. As Christians, sometimes we can read and know too much, without putting it into practice. But this following acronym is a good starting point on how we can seek to BLESS others this day.
How can you be a BLESSing to others?
- B - egin with prayer (how is the Spirit leading you?)
- L - ive intentionally (what steps do you need to take?
- E - at with someone (do life with people :) )
- S - erve and be served (build genuine relationships)
- S - hare your story (how Christ has worked in you)
Let's not just be hearers of the word, but let us put it into practice, and be a BLESSing to others this day.
Thank you for choosing to share what you read on your timeline with us here. I don't know about others but it's been a blessing to me particularly the first letter of the acronym.
It is rather sad that many Christians including myself do not allow the Holy spirit to lead their lives in totality. We see Christians struggling and ignoring the calls/cautions of the Holy Spirit because they want to satisfy the flesh.
On a lighter note:
The third acronym does not really apply to us here in Africa cause I remember many years ago when I went out with my mum to visit her friend. As part of a way to welcome us, our host presented us with food, mum looked at me with a stern eye which I understood the meaning. Yet she was smiling with the woman saying that I said that I would not eat the food cause I was already filled before we visited.
Hmmmmmm, some African mothers shaaaaa. They are supper women.

Thanks for taking the time to read the post and for sharing your thoughts. I agree, i’m not always great at beginning with prayer and asking the Holy Spirit to lead us, but it’s a good reminder and something I need to do more of.
Haha yeah it’s interesting how different cultures view and embrace eating in different ways.

We must strive to be a blessing to others, it is something that pleases God and speaks of the love of Christ in us.
