Let's be real, many people don't like hearing how others are being blessed. Why? Because of jealousy. If THEY aren't on the receiving end of God's blessings, they don't care about others being blessed. I'm being honest. By nature, some people are envious of others good fortune. Some people struggle for their breakthroughs, and others it seems like everything they touch prospers. It boils down to faithfulness & obedience. The Bible says that obedience brings blessing. When I think of blessing, I think of the entire scope of blessing: Physical health, material wealth, etc. When a person speaks of their blessing(s), my first thought is they're cocky. Why? Because they tell everyone how they have this and that. God did this, that, and the third for me. Personally, I enjoy seeing & hearing others get blessed because it gives me hope that I can get mine too, if I stay faithful and obedient. When people receive their blessing, usually they flaunt it as to say "Look at me, I have this, this, and this" Remember show & tell back in school? That's what I get when I see people constantly showing off their blessing. I'm not against sharing what God is doing in people's lives, but many times people do it to show off. You can share what God is doing in your life, but remain humble. Humility is the key. The reason why I say be humble in your blessing is because just like God blesses you, he can retract that blessing if you get beside yourself. Oftentimes, Christians (and others in general) can become enamored with the blessing instead of the giver. Not everyone will celebrate in your blessing. Some people will front like they're happy for your blessing, but get them alone and the hate flies. "Why did (s)he get blessed, why couldn't have it been me, why why why? I can't stand sister so & so, she think she all that, etc." You folks know what I'm talking about. To protect yourself from being a target of jealousy, it's best to remain humble in your blessing because no one likes an arrogant person. In closing, If all a person can talk about is the material aspect of God's glory (that is part of it), then they're showing off. These are people that aren't used to having nothing in life.
At the same time, I do enjoy hearing testimonials of God taking someone from the Pit to the Palace.
