Ecclesiastes 11:3 if the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth.

The status of your storehouse says a lot about your generosity or lack of it. If your storehouse is full of things that have been there for ages, then it is a cloud full of rain. If there are things in there you are not sure when you last used and have no idea when next you will use, you are a cloud full of rain.

This section applies to ladies mostly. How do your wardrobe and shoe rack look like? You can tell a lot about your fullness or lack of it by assessing these two areas. There are people who have more shoes than the number of days in the year. I don’t want to start with handbags, jewelry and all manner of accessories. Just by looking at this two areas, you can see the excess that is in your life. Allow me to say that this will apply to very many other areas of your life if you care to look. I say this not to condemn or guilt trip anybody. The point I am driving at is you need to empty your life of excess.

There is so much more that would flow into your life but there is no room for it. My encouragement is let go of the things you no longer use so that you create room for those you need at this point in your life. Sometimes we hold on to things for sentimental reasons and it is understandable but when the very presence of those things means we cannot have what we need right now, then it is a no-brainer that we need to let them go. For example why would your garage be full of old vehicles you are no longer using such that your current vehicle has to stay outside?

Make a habit of decluttering your life and your rooms regularly. Be ruthless about getting rid of things you no longer need so that you may create room for the things that really matter in your life right now. Another good example would be parents who are done with raising children yet they still want to hold on to new born baby stuff. What is the point? Sometimes giving takes some burdens off your shoulders that you failed to realize were burdens to begin with. Anything in your life that you are not using, and there are no prospects of needing it in the future should be given out to someone who really needs it. That way, you have more room to keep those things which are relevant to your current circumstances.

Blessing others could be as simple as you getting hold of things that are of little to no use to you yet highly useful to someone else and giving them out to such persons. You do not have to spend a dime to be a blessing to others. There is so much you can give if only you take the time to do it. 

Today, take time to look through your stuff and identify what you can give away for the simple reason that you don’t need it. You can go ahead and share with us in the comments what you have identified and given away to encourage someone else to do the same.
