Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Proverbs 22:9, “He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor.”
Everyone desires to be blessed. Some long for the blessing of children. Others seek a permanent income, a secure job, powerful gifts, or even their own house. These are good desires—but the Word of God reveals a key principle:
“A generous eye will be blessed.”
What does this mean?
A man’s blessing is based on how much he chooses to bless others. From his own blessings, how much does he share with those in need? According to this verse, that is the measure God uses to bless him. A generous eye is one filled with compassion—eyes that are moved to do good, that see the pain and poverty of others and respond in love. Not eyes of pride, lust, or selfishness—but eyes that help the hurting, feed the hungry, and lift up the poor.
Testimony: Sister Kala from Coimbatore
“I did not have a job, so I decided to start something on my own. Around that time, Brother Stephen came to our Coimbatore prayer center. He preached, and during the individual prayer, he said, ‘The Lord will fulfill your heart’s desire. The season of Rehoboth begins for you.’ After receiving that promise word and prayer, I was returning home. On the way, I saw a shop with a sign that said ‘TO-LET’. I immediately spoke with the owner, and by God’s grace, he gave it to me. I’ve now opened my own business and am blessedly running it!”
Prayer:
Lord, Your Word says, “A generous eye will be blessed.” Remove every lustful or prideful gaze. Replace it with eyes of compassion. Let our eyes see the suffering of others and respond with help and love. May we comfort the sick, provide for the poor and widows, and help fatherless children. Anoint our eyes with mercy. Let generosity flow through our lives. Bless all those watching or reading this message. Fill their treasuries and bless the work of their hands. Open the treasures of heaven and pour out Your blessing upon them. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
