Matt 10:40
"Those who welcome you are welcoming me. And when they welcome me they are welcoming God who sent me.

Pa Arokoyo did not understand why things were going so well for the Bode family. He observed that all their children, both home and abroad, did exceptionally well; most of them knew the lord, and unlike his children, they cared for their parents and provided for them much more than they needed. As Pa Arokoyo further enquired into why the Bode family was the most blessed in their village, he learnt that once upon a time, when the Christian missionaries first arrived their village, no one but the bode family took them in and accepted their message. Their grandfather was very good to the missionaries, and today his descendants are enjoying unrivalled blessings because of His good acts.
Has it ever occurred to you that many things you do today will not only affect your life but will affect that of your generations to come? The bible says ‘a good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children’ (see Prov 13:22). The best kind of inheritance you can leave for your children is (spiritual) blessings that thieves and enemies cannot touch, steal or destroy.
Go into today determining to do things you know attract God’s blessings. Be good to everyone; be especially good to God’s people and those you know are serving the lord(see Gal 6:10). Do this not just because of the blessings but because it is in keeping with your new nature as a child of God.
Prayer: thank you heavenly father for your word. I pray you help me express your nature in my conduct, in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
