No man can receive nothing except it is given by heaven ( God ) . ...john3:27. Whenever God blesses a man, he does it out of mercy and love. A blessed man is a channel for others to be blessed.

Proverbs 11:25-26 – The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.

When you reach out to the less privilege with God's blessings upon your life, you are transacting business with God that would in due time bring a good reward in one form or the other.

Gods blessings upon ones live could be in several forms not necessarily in monetary form alone. Gods blessing upon some could be in the profession they are into. God may bless them with extra ordinary knowledge and success in the field of profession they practice.

Take for example, a doctor that would always be committed to his or her work to safe lives is blessing people with what he or she is doing. A judge that ensures that Justice is not manipulated or altered in favour of the wicked is also blessing others with his job. A police officer that is genuinely discharging his duty within the ampit of law with out being biased is a blessing to the people.
You could even be a farmer or trader that is not greedy always inflating the price of his food products just to make a sky rocketing profit at the expense of the consumers. Remember,

Luke 12:16-21
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’

18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’

20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

YOU ARE NOT BLESSED FOR YOURSELF ALONE BUT BLESSED TO BLESS OTHERS.

Bribe is wickedness are you wicked?

Depression is not domiciled in some races, countries, tribes or continents, rather it's a global thing. Depression does not know the rich nor the poor, it does not know the beautiful nor the ugly, rather it overwhelmes those who can't resist it's forces.

The forces (reasons) of depression vary from one person to another. However, it can be summarized that forces of depression come when we are either being added to or subtracted from.

To some, depression sets in when they (human) are being added to with something e.g when one engages in new bad habits (being added to) that he or she is not proud of. The new ''negative habit'' that he/she can not control is the burden of depression ( helplessness ) upon his/her life. On the other hand, some experience depression ( helplessness ) when something is being subtracted from them. Take for example, when some lose their loved ones they become depressed (helpless or hopeless).

WHAT TO DO WHEN DEPRESSED ( HELPLESS OR HOPELESS ) ?

* Genuinely Confess and repent of your sin and follow God in a time of depression. This will help you draw God to your side to help you incase it came as a result of sin.

* Begin to proclaim the good promises of God to you from his words. Focus on these good promises of God for you.WHY?

Proverbs 4:23
Be careful how you think. Your life is shaped by your thoughts.

Hebrew 4:12
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Other Bible passages to meditate on when depressed ( hopeless or helpless )

Phillipian 4:8
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and hope.”

Phillipian 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Deuteronomy 31:8
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Matthew 11:28
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight.”


Psalm 23:4

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Psalm 9:9
“The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.”

Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Isaiah 41:10

God's plan for everyone is perfect peace. God is not interested in the suffering of anyone, let alone seeing anyone languish in poverty. His plan is to see a sane and progressive society governed or controlled by sincere love for one another.

Jeremiah 29:11

"I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

God's instructions or laws were meant to do us only good and not evil. We humans are the major beneficiaries of these good things, not God. When we obey God's commands, we are doing ourselves a favor rather than God. Following God's instructions  will help us get to our promised land on Earth and in heaven.

Exodus 20:23
See, I am sending an angel (instructions or laws) ahead of you to guard you along the way and bring you to the place I have prepared.

Take for example, when God commands us to avoid fornication and adultery. Obeying this is to benefit us humans, not to benefit God. If we do not follow this instruction, we risk contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STD) or Spirit-Transmitted Demons (STD) from our opposite sexual partner. All these can stop us from living a fulfilled life on Earth and could prevent us from dwelling in heaven.

Here is another of the instructions given to us by God: "DO NOT TAKE BRIBE." This was given to us as individuals or as a nation and, when obeyed, would benefit us humans and not God positively.

Exodus 23:8

Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe makes people BLIND to what is right and RUINS the cause of those who are INNOCENT.

What exactly does the term "bribe" or "bribery" mean?
 
Bribery means money or favors given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust.

Bribery cuts across every aspect of our lives as individuals and as a nation.

Bribery occurrence from an individual's point of view

Bribery could occur in the life of every individual with regards to their family. Consider a situation in which the husband must bribe his way through the wife in order to get the wife to do things that are naturally her responsibility; this is not biblical, and such an act may have a negative impact on the peace that exists between the two couples. When a husband and wife's marriage is tampered with, the innocent (children) suffer.

Bribery occurrence from a nation's point of view


As a nation, we must heed God's command in Exodus 23:8 not to accept bribes, or the consequences will be severe. Using Nigeria as an example, this truth cannot be overstated. The future of the innocent (Nigerians) is really suffering because bribery and corruption have refused to abate.

 Hosea 9:9 

They have sunk deep into corruption, as in the days of Gibeah. God will remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins.


Bribery has had a significant impact on almost every system or section of the country. Until Nigeria starts enforcing laws that discourage bribery and corruption, the innocent (citizens) will continue to suffer. When citizens suffer, the economy and country suffer as well.
