18.6.14

Good company

We can be blessed because of who is with us, below is what Laban said to Jacob: 

Genesis 30:27 But Laban said to him, "If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you."


Also, when Joseph was in Potiphar's house, we learn that: From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished. Genesis 39:5



When Paul was on a ship that nearly wrecked, God saved all on board because of the presence of Paul - Acts 27:21-24 NIV

After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. 


But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’


God saved all 276 people on board (vs 37) because of one man - Paul!

You must be careful of whom you keep company with, as you can be blessed or endanger yourself, depending on who is with you. Also, when you are in right standing with God, you must be a channel through whom others are blessed and delivered.
