Topic: Mystery in giving.
Highlight:
One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverbs 11:24-25
"No one has ever become poor by giving" Giving has a mystery;
"People curse the one who hoards grain, but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell." Proverbs 11:26
The mystery behind the above verse shows that giving is beyond just giving out to escape disturbance from people but giving is about showing unconditional love, caring and providing emotional support. When you give, you open a door of someone's heart to be thankful to God on your behalf. In this case you have stand as a representative of God to be a blessing. God will evaluate the giver and sends more blessings through him. I have seen a giver who promised a someone in dire need to be hopeful perhaps a miracle could happen in his work place and he might have the opportunity to help. The one at the receiving end went home to pray earnestly for his helper and the next morning a miracle happened to the giver who quickly remember the one he promised to help. If you give with purpose according to God's will, you will never lack.
Look around you today with purpose of Good intentions from God today and you will see an opportunity to give in the name of Jesus. "Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." 2 Cor 9:7-8
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Luke 6:38
Prayer: Lord help me to be a giver to the glory of your name in Jesus name. Amen
