Four, Five
John 3:16 “For God expressed His love for the world in this way: He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not face everlasting destruction, but will have everlasting life.” (The Voice, emphasis added).
We will pick up today’s devotional from where we left off yesterday. Acts 20:35 “…remembering the words that the Lord Jesus himself said, ‘There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.’” Read the rest of this entry
Three, Four
Proverbs 11:25 “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” (NIV).
The third of nine rewards that God promises to give you if you live a generous life is God Promises He Will Bless Your Work And Business. Are you an entrepreneur or a professional? Read the rest of this entry
One, Two
Psalm 145:16 “Generous to a fault, you lavish your favour on all creatures.” (MSG)
Why does God make more promises about being generous than about every other thing? The first reason is God is generous and He wants us to become like Him. The second reason is that Read the rest of this entry
Like Him
John 1:16 “For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favour upon favour, and gift heaped upon gift].” (AMP)
The culture and the world around us are really pulling a lot of us in different directions. People do not even know what to live for, live by, or believe in anymore. Some say trust this guru, Read the rest of this entry
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.
