A BUFFET OF BLESSINGS “Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over...” – Luke 6:38 As a Christian serving in various ministries for decades, I had wanted for years to attend the Hillsong Conference in Australia — an annual conference-cum-concert kind of event. When the opportunity came that I could go for free, I jumped at the chance. It was a treat to see Christian stars of mega-churches in person. For five exhilarating days that would start at 9 a.m. and end at 9 p.m., we soaked in electrifying worship twice a day and attended power-filled learning sessions three to four times a day. To top it all, when I got back home, my bank balance was higher than its level before I spent for all the conference expenses. My investments in mutual funds had increased in value and covered all my expenses for the trip with my wife and all the extra vacations that we took. I didn’t have to request for an expense reimbursement from the community that was supposed to sponsor my trip. It was God’s way of saying to me that a person serving Him deserves blessings — spiritually and financially — beyond measure and running over!

It is in serving You that the gates of heaven are opened and blessings are poured out. St. Patrick, bishop, patron of Ireland and Nigeria, pray for us.
