2 Corinthians 9:6 “Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.”
God Promises He Will Multiply What You Give Him. Therefore, giving is not a debt I owe. Giving is a seed I sow. When you pay a debt you owe, you have paid the debt.

Luke 6:38 “Don’t hold back—give freely, and you’ll have plenty poured back into your lap—a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, brimming over. You’ll receive in the same measure you give.” (The Voice)
I have heard people challenging their congregation to give say, give until it hurts. Or say, you have not given until it hurts. Sometimes misquoting David by saying I will not give God that which does not cost me. David did not say I will not give if it does not hurt me. David said it must cost him something.

Psalm 112:9 “They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honour.”
If you learn to be generous, God Promises Good Things Will Happen To You. Number two, God Promises Your Children Will Be Blessed. Number three, Read the rest of this entry

Luke 6:38 “Don’t hold back—give freely, and you’ll have plenty poured back into your lap—a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, brimming over. You’ll receive in the same measure you give.” (The Voice)
The heart is so, so important in giving. You must have heard it said that you can give without loving but you cannot love without giving. And that is so true. Do you know how to spell love? Read the rest of this entry
Full Measure
Luke 6:38 “Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands—all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you.” (GNT)
In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, what you receive will be full measure. It will be pressed down. It will be shaken together. Even though it is pressed down and shaken together,it will still run over and be poured into your lap. Weeks ago, I shared with you how I used to follow my grandmother to the market.

Ephesians 1:5 “God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.”
Thank God for His Word to us at Easter. Indeed, because you have set The Lion of the tribe of Judah before your face, and He is always at your right hand, you cannot be moved or shaken.
Unstoppable!
Acts 1:3 “During the forty days after he suffered and died, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God.”
The story continues… Jesus got to the gate and an angel let out a cry, “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.”
Mysterious Plan
Matthew 27:40 “Look at you now!” they yelled at him. “You said you were going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days. Well then, if you are the Son of God, save yourself and come down from the cross!”
Imagine when Jesus was crucified and nailed to the cross, Satan and his host felt they had Him. And they were checking to see if Jesus would come down from the cross.
Determined Purpose!
Acts 2:23“Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God…” (NKJV, emphasis added).
For many of us, when we think about how Jesus was betrayed, we could say, it was Judas being greedy. Some even argue that Jesus too should have minded His speech.
Think Global
Daniel 7:14 “He was given authority, honour, and sovereignty over all the nations of the world, so that people of every race and nation and language would obey him. His rule is eternal—it will never end. His kingdom will never be destroyed.”
This is how I know that in the Name of Jesus every knee bows. Whether you are speaking in Spanish or Dutch, in the Name of Jesus every knee bows. Again, there is a problem
