"Use God's Blessing (Correctly) Properly" from 2 Chronicles 21

We learned Jehosaphat was a good King thou he made alliance with unbeliever. This gives us to our tonights theme "use God's blessing properly" and correctly. For example - some people are blessed with more than one cellphone, but most of them used thier own cell phone (blessing) for scams and fooling other people, spread gossip, etc.. Thus, using the blessing incorrectly and not for God's glory.

In our chapter tonight, Jehosaphat was blessed, and he gave the Kingdom to his first born son Jehoram.

Now if you can imagine what is the greatest gift?
the greatest gift God gave us is the spiritual blessing. Saved by grace. We don't limit God's blessing because the real blessing is to know God more.



"Rejoice to those who rejoice and mourn to those who mourn." Do most people follow that?
Most of the time - worldly people will do the other way around - they get jealous if you are happy and get happy if you mourn.

This is also the same as Jehoram used his position and blessing incorrectly. And so, he killed all his brothers.

If we don't depend on God and depend only in our own strength just like Jehoram we can commit the same mistake he had.

Punishment for sin is not always immediate and dramatic. God holds us accountable for the responsibilities we have. No one is perfect, but when you repent God will save you.

Proverbs 10:7
The name of the righteous is used in blessings,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
