The document discusses how to be a blessing to others. It outlines four laws of God's blessing: blessings should flow to others; God will take care of our needs when we bless others; blessings given to others will come back to us; and the more blessed we are, the more God expects us to help others. It encourages readers to identify ways they can use their gifts to bless others and asks who needs to be blessed and how. It provides examples from the Bible of blessing those who curse or revile you and quotes the priestly blessing from Numbers. The overall message is that believers should bless others as a way to receive blessing themselves and fulfill God's purpose.

10. BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU
[ MATTHEW 5:43-44; LUKE 6:27-29 )
A BLESSING CAN BREAK THE BONDAGE OF A CURSE
ALTHOUGH A CURSE ALWAYS HAS POTENTIAL TO DO GREAT EVIL, A BLESSING HAS POTENTIAL TO ACCOMPLISH GREATER
GOOD.
Once a young woman was deeply offended when her supervisor criticized and belittled her. She could not
forget her supervisor’s stinging words, and she became increasingly bitter and angry as time passed. She
testified, “i carried that hurt to college, and without knowing it i was in bondage to a curse. . . . I started
struggling in school and failed three exams in a row. I had never had problems with school before. I then
became consumed with my studies so i would not fail any more exams. “I lost my focus so that God was
not number one in my life. I had sacrificed my relationships with people and ultimately my time with the
lord by working on projects and my studies. . . . One day when i was on summer break, the lord really
spoke to me. I realized that i could not honestly say that i loved the lord with all of my heart, soul, mind,
and strength.” At about the same time, this student heard a message about the value of blessing those who
curse us. She later testified, “i went into my room and closed the door . . . i cried out to God to bless
me, and i asked him to bless my former supervisor and his family. Instantly i felt as if chains had been
lifted off of me. I felt an incredible freedom that i had not experienced before. . . . The joy that i now feel
is overwhelming. . . .”

11. BLESS THOSE WHO REVILE YOU
• Jesus was reviled. Immediately prior to his crucifixion, roman soldiers not only scourged him; they
mocked and belittled him as well. ( Matthew 27:26-31.) While christ was on the cross, “they that
passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, and saying, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest
it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the son of god, come down from the cross.
• “Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, he saved others;
himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we
will believe him. He trusted in god; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am
the son of god. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth” (Matthew
27:39-44). Yet, even while he was suffering the horrors of crucifixion, Jesus blessed his persecutors,
saying, “father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).
