Does God bless Non-Christians?
You have heard fellow Christians, especially preachers; tell you that God only blesses those who keep His Commandments. But that is a myth. God do not withhold blessing from His Children. So whether you are a Christian or not, we are all God’s children. Furthermore, God is impartial; He does not distribute blessings like humans do. For example, when the rain falls, it does not fall on one man’s land. Neither does the sun shines on one man’s house.
I take my cue from Jesus. He never turned anyone away. Matthew 9:18-26 and Mark 5:21-43 solidify this fact. Both Mark and Matthew narrated the same gripping story. Both of which dispels the myth mentioned above.
The story tells us about a prominent Jewish leader named Jairus whose young daughter was ill. Now, it is important to note, Jairus did not subscribe to Jesus’s teachings. He was a member of a religious sect that opposed everything Jesus did. One could go further and say Jairus was a member of the group that plotted to kill Jesus.
But when everything Jairus tried to get his daughter well failed, Jairus came to Jesus for help. While making his way through a large crowd that had come to see Jesus as well. He received further disturbing news. His daughter was dead. The Bible says Jairus fell at Jesus’ feet and worshiped Him. Then he said, “My daughter has just died, but even though she is dead if you come and lay Your hand on her she will live.”
Without putting him on the mercy seat, Jesus granted Jairus’s wish. And his daughter lived.
Still, like the woman with the issue of blood, Jairus had faith that could move a mountain. That is something many of us lack. Thus, if we wish to have showers of blessing in our lives we need to work on our faith.

This interesting argument has a flaw.
Christians and non-Christians are both subject to joy and sorrow.
Christians suffer sickness and injury as do non- Christians.
Sickness and injury , joy and sorrow are no respectors of persons , time or place.

Hello kaptonok- I believe that is what Noel said in this statement that he made..”…But that is a myth. God do not withhold blessing from His Children. So whether you are a Christian or not, we are all God’s children. Furthermore, God is impartial; He does not distribute blessings like humans do. For example, when the rain falls, it does not fall on one man’s land. Neither does the sun shines on one man’s house.” Says to me that these issues are no respector of beings or things. Be blessed. 😉

Don’t shy away from controversy its bound to happen as we all have different views. Bitterness is what I try to avoid and I know you are not bitter.
I’m a live and let live agnostic and believe people are more important than beliefs.

Shelia, Shelia, Thanks so much for stopping and clearing up any ambiguity my good friend kaptonok might have discerned. I often hesitate when I am tempted to write anything I feel might generate controversy.
Thanks again, my friend. God blesses.

Like you, I agree it is a falsehood (“myth”) preached in many churches. Let us not forget for even His chosen people suffered greatly and still to to this day along with the rest of the world.
I had just finished reading Mark 5 this morning and poof, here you are writing about it. The message I got out of it earlier is that God is good at making us wait our turn.

Indeed! My own mother is from an era where that mindset was prevalent. And I believed the myth until I started to search Scripture for myself.
Thanks, my friend. God blesses.
