The Speaking Life

“There was a believer in Joppa named Tabitha (which in Greek is Dorcas). She was always doing kind things for others and helping the poor” Act 9:36 New Living Translation.

You life can only continue to speak through lives that you have changed and impacted.

A Chinese proverb says “If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want ten years of prosperity grow trees. If you want one hundred years prosperity, grow people”

I was in an uncle’s burial last Saturday. The Pastor asked the people who this man sponsored to stand up and come forward. It surprised me that more than 50 people came out, they were wearing the same dress. This people don’t bear the name of the man but yet he fed them and sent them to school. I told someone sitting beside me that this man did not die but lives on. His life shall continue to speak through those lives he touched.

Beloved, what are you doing with what God has blessed you. Your financial, material and spiritual involvement in someone’s life can change that life forever.

I challenge you to grow people, the reward will last forever.
