Have you ever received unsolicited help, literally out of nowhere or from the least expected source? Have you ever done the same by sharing your resources with others? And by resources I mean money, information, and contacts!! I have received such favors before, and there is nothing so rejuvenating than being assisted by someone else as you face daunting propositions.
Sadly, the ‘world’ taught us to hoard, hide, and refuse to share our blessings, leading us to believe that those who share their resources often come out as second-best in life’s race! This is not true!!
Sharing means loving, giving, and obeying what the ‘secular world’ calls the “golden rule”, and what we regard as Christ’s cardinal rule – “love your neighbor as yourself”.
Leaders and motivators are made through the act of sharing and supporting others to success.
The Good Samaritan shared his time and finances with the robbery victim (Luke 10:30-37), Jonathan shared his love with David (1 Sam 18:1-4), and God shared His son Jesus’ life with us so we can gain easier access to His kingdom (John 3:16). Jesus further commands us to share our food or clothing with the needy (Luke 3:11), and to give gifts of money, prayer, or possessions to even our enemies (Matthew 5:42-44).
Have you helped someone recently? Or are you still consumed with keeping all your blessings to yourself? Do you know that God blessed you so you can, through kindness, be a blessing to others? Do you not understand that the only tangible things after we leave this earth are the kindnesses and consideration we extend to others?
God commands us to give to others, because in so doing, we will be blessed beyond our wildest dreams (Luke 6:38). Will you readily share your all with all today? And in the future?

Lesson of the Week1. Be eager to share your good fortune with others (Ecclesiastes 11:1)
2. Trust that the law of spiritual reciprocity will apply to you (Matthew 7:12)
Empowering others comes from sharing your privileged information with them. In so doing, you give them the power to be as good as or even better than you are. But do not be afraid of being supplanted; people who receive help have a natural tendency to appreciate and exalt those who helped them.
Mentors want to be associated with successful protégées, and successful protégées never forget where they journeyed from! Leaders are judged by the quality of people they raised!
When you bless others with your substance, someone else will also meet any need you might have. Give liberally as a seed, and watch the exponential harvest that follows. Dr. Miles Monroe advised us to “decide if we are going to rob the world or bless it with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within us".
This week I challenge us to focus on others’ needs, and not on ours! If we allow ourselves to be instruments of blessing in God’s hands, He will also bless and promote us.
Share readily with others this week, and watch what Jehovah-Jireh, your Provider, will do!

Weekly Nugget: “And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:  And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not” (Isaiah 58:10-11; KJV).
