Contributions

“How could one person chase a thousand of them, and two people put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?” Deu.32:30

When God gives you an instruction to give something and you hold on to it, that thing is marked for consumption. For instance, God says give your pen to that lady. If you obey and give her the pen, it gets credited to your account in heaven where thieves cannot reach it.  However, if you hold on to the pen you are holding on to something that does not belong to you. You are holding on to something heaven has labeled “for takes”. I know this may sound rather harsh but it is the truth of God’s Word.

So you are better off giving what God has asked you to give. And guess what, you get account credit in heaven and God also blesses you for it. Giving is just the way to go. Make a list of all the important people in your life and determine by yourself what it will take for them to be happy in their relationship with you. Take this assignment very seriously. Whatever will make them happy, that thing is your contribution. Go ahead and make the contribution.

Who are the most important people in my life? Your spouse – what will it take for your spouse to be happy in his or her relationship with you? That is your contribution; make that contribution. What will it take for your children to be delighted in their relationship with you? Note that that is your contribution, so start making it. What will it take for your boss to be excited every time you step into the office? What it will take, is your contribution; do it! Do these things and you will see how people will turn in your favour. You cannot continue to behave like a vagabond and expect that your prayer for favour will amount to anything.

#4. None of Us Is Stronger Than All of Us. To unlock concerted action, realize that none of us is stronger than all of us. None of us is more anointed than all of us. Even if you are so anointed, by the time another person adds their “small” anointing to yours, it will still be more than your big anointing. Let us say you have thirty billion dollars in your account and somebody else has a hundred dollars in their account. By the time you come together, you will still have more than you had initially.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please give me a burden for my contributions and let me not rest until I have made them and honored God, in Jesus Name.
