The family of David produced mighty men. You know of Joab, the son of David’s sister. Listen to what the Bible says of Joab’s brother,

Abishai the brother of Joab was chief of another three. He had lifted up his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name among these three. Of the three he was more honored than the other two men. Therefore he became their captain. However he did not attain to the first three (1 Chronicles 11.20–21).

I am glad he was on the Lord’s side! The Lord blessed Abishai with military skill that most of us can only imagine in our dreams.

However, you have abilities that no one else has. You have the ability to bless the church. Do it.

Questions:

• Are you blessing the church?
• How do you help in your local congregation?
