God is not just looking for people to bless, He is looking for people who will yield themselves to Him as a channel of His blessing to others. I love the words of American evangelist, Billy Graham:

God Has Given Us Two Hands-One To Receive With, And The Other To Give. We Are Not Cisterns Made For Hoarding, We Are Channels Made For Giving.

Also, John Wesley, one of the greatest blessings to generations past and generations to come, lived by these words which he penned:

All You Can Without Hurting Your Soul, Your Body, Or Your Neighbour. Save All You Can, Cutting Off Needless Expenses. Give All You Can. Be Glad To Give And Ready To Distribute, Laying Up For Yourself A Good Foundation Against The Time To Come, That You May Attain Eternal Life

When he started to work as a young man, John Welsey committed himself to give ten dollars to the Lord out of the hundred anf fifty dollars he was earning as annual income. His salary was doubled the second year but he continued to live on 140$, giving 160$ to christian work. During his third year, Wesley received $600. He kept $140, and give $460 to the Lord. He lived to give. He lived to be a blessing, and today, his impact is felt in many countries all over the world.

Hear this: Though giving is painful, no man can be a blessing to his generation if he is not a willing giver.

For God so loved the world that He gave......!

Walk in the steps of great women/men of old. Give your best, despite disappointment by men! At every OPPORTUNITY, be a blessing to souls around you! *Stop piling up money in banks for your children! How are you sure these children will not sell your houses/properties to vagabonds?

Mother Teresa said "Give to the gospel until it hurts (Mattew 23:35-45) has this for us:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me food, I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink,stranger, and ye gave me drinks,
Naked, and ye clothe me: I was sick, and ye visited me, I was in prison and ye came to unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer Him saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred and feed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? Or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Then the King shall answer and say unto them, verily I say unto you, in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these brethren, ye have done it unto me.

In line with the above scriptures. We will find out that true service is the service to humanity. There are people i just met in steemit.....i don't even know that personally who has proven the understand and practice the principle of giving...In fact giving is in their DNA.

The first on my list is:

His the Visionary founder steemchurch the first online blockchain......In line with his word....

The vision of steemchurch is to fight for freedom and liberty in the spirit of christ, -steemchurch has provided a platform for many under-privileged/poorly managed nations to earn STEEM with their talents and labours, thereby enabling these parishioners to improve their lives.

And he has proven it...people from all over the world came together as one under the umbrella of steemchurch....and none has come in contact with steemchurch without seeing a significant changes in their lives.

He has been a source of succor to whoever that come in contact with him, more especially minnows finding their ground. His the brain behind:

@steemgigs : Where everyone has something has something to offer. He believes that everyone a earth has a potential that are yet to harness........everyone is unique in his/her own way.

@teardrops: He don't like people shedding tears in vain. One tears should have reward proof of tears. Voice your pains, emotion, sadness out by doing that from the feedback of your friends.....it will alleviate the situation.

@ulog: Many minnow cried out of low pay out inorder to bridge that gap... He came out with ulogger where you put down your day to day activities, how it happen with your picture. Ulog is here to replace your diary. So make use of it.

His doing it willingly just to put a smile on people faces. We appreciate it.

Due to his desire to help the needed he and his team travel to the world's largest floating slum in Lagos to show them love despite the thugs rob them......they refuse to give up on them till they put smile on their faces.....life jacket was denoted to them for their schooling for this rainy season.
