We're Blessed To Be A Blessing (with lyrics)

"We're blessed to be a blessing, here to make Him known. To lightly hold to this world for it is not our Home. We're stewards of the Message of everlasting change. We're blessed to be a blessing, to pour out the love of a King". That last line was influenced by an action David took when he was holed up in the cave of Adullam. He wanted a drink of water from the well at Bethlehem and his three mighty men, at great risk to themselves, went and got some water for him. But, after such heroic effort, he wouldn't drink the water. Instead, he took it and poured it out to the Lord. I used to see this as so ungrateful on his part. I've often wondered why, with so many glaring failures, that God considered him a man after His own Heart. Now, I think I have some understanding of it. We hear all the time that God wants us to be blessed people. I agree, that is true. But I think we're missing why He wants to bless us. I think He wants to bless us so that we can take it to the next level. I think He wants us to fully grasp what He has done for us and be so grateful that we take those blessings and pour them back out to Him. To pour them into the things that He considers important. And, to do it joyously, never daring to hoard them for ourselves. Additionally, I have to give much credit to K.P. Yohannan for opening my eyes to our responsibilities in America for the great blessings we have received from our Lord. I read his book "Revolution In World Missions" and it radically changed my outlook on what we need to be doing as a Christian Nation. I believe the Lord has raised this man up to show us where we are missing it here in America. I would highly recommend his book and the Native Missionary organization he heads up - Gospel For Asia. The book is available free of charge at www.gfa.org. I would beg you to order it and give the Lord a chance to make some radical changes in your life that will benefit His Kingdom and make it possible for Him to bless America again.

Here's a quote from K. P. Yohannan that will give you a feel for some of the things we need to get cemented into our hearts:

God has prospered us for a purpose. He is the king of Matthew 25:14-30 who entrusts wealth to his servants and goes on a long journey. When he
returns, the king demands an accounting and a profit from what he has given to invest. What will we present to our Lord when He returns for
an accounting? What kind of stewards are we being with the blessings He has shed on this nation?
