Foremost
Malachi 3:10 “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” (NIV)
We kick off today’s devotional with our final thought from yesterday and that is, to experience financial metamorphosis, I Must Give The First 10% Back To God. I shared yesterday that God taught me how to tithe, and I have been tithing for decades. Read the rest of this entry
Grace + Gratitude = Generosity
Psalm 103:1-2 “Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.”
How will your life look if it overflows with thanksgiving? In answering this question, the first thing we see is When GRACE Flows In. The second thing is, GRATITUDE fills up. Third thing is, GENEROSITY flows out! When a life is filled with thanksgiving what flows out is generosity. Read the rest of this entry
Ask Him & Give Him
John 10:14-15 “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep.”
Do you know Him? If you do not, I pray that today you will know Him. Jesus is a shepherd that cares for His sheep in such a way that He lays His life down. Every day when I wake up, I hit the floor and I say a few things to the Lord. I hope you do this. Read the rest of this entry
Two Things
2 Cor. 8:7 “Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us—I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving.”
How can my life give thanks to God? By Singing From My Heart, by Thanking God In Prayer, by Telling Others The Good News. Fourthly, by Giving An Offering Back To God. Thanks and giving go together, that is why it is called thanksgiving. Read the rest of this entry
Cold or Hot?
Rev.3:15-16 “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!”
As we approach the end of the year, I am usually pulled in two directions emotionally. On one hand, I am really excited about what God has done already, all the jaw-dropping testimonies, things that only God’s favour can secure. Read the rest of this entry
In Partnership
Luke 9:16 “Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people.” (emphasis added)
To multiply you have to organize, it has to be blessed, and it has to be given away for it to multiply. The fourth lesson on multiplication is you must collaborate with people if you want to multiply. Jesus kept giving the bread and the fish to His disciples. Jesus could not do it by Himself.

The Trigger
John 10:18 “No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded.”
To multiply, the first thing Jesus teaches us from the example in Luke 9:12-17 is to organize and the second thing Jesus teaches us is that it has to be blessed before it can multiply. Yesterday, we looked at Heb.7:6-8 [please read] and we saw that even though Abraham was the one with the promise, Read the rest of this entry
The Blessing
Luke 9:16 “Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them.”
To multiply, the first thing Jesus teaches us from the example in Luke 9:12-17 is to organize. The second thing we see from this scripture is it has to be blessed before it can multiply. God does not bless things that are disorganized, so you have to be organized first but it has to be blessed. Read the rest of this entry
Accept Not Reject
Psalm 20:3 “May he accept all your offerings and be pleased with all your sacrifices.” (GNT)
I have shared this testimony several times but it is really instructive, so I will share it again. I look at some people and I am amazed at the kind of steps they take. A certain woman had three children, male and female, yet she came to meet me, that she needed a miracle and wanted us to pray. Read the rest of this entry
A-C-T-I-O-N!
Luke 6:38 “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (KJV)
The first way by which point of contact operates is Point Of Contact By Symbols And Tokens and the second is Point Of Contact By Seeds. Releasing God’s power by giving your time, your talent, and your treasure. Read the rest of this entry
