Scriptural Foundation: Genesis 12:2 (KJV)
“And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.”
Introduction
God has not blessed us merely for our own enjoyment. He blesses us so that we can become channels of His goodness to others. Our lives should bring encouragement to the discouraged, hope to the hopeless, comfort to the brokenhearted and help to those in need.
Being a blessing is more than giving money or material possessions. It includes showing love, extending forgiveness, speaking words of encouragement, demonstrating kindness, supporting the weak and treating others with compassion.
Jesus Christ demonstrated the perfect example of love and kindness. As believers, we are called to reflect His character wherever we go.
These 50 prayer points will help you develop a heart of compassion, generosity, humility and genuine love so that your life will become a blessing to your family, community, church and generation.
