Luke 12:33 “Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it.”
God Promises Your Giving Is Stored Up In Heaven. This is the nineth reward for generosity. When you give, God promises that your giving is stored up in heaven. Read the rest of this entry
Automate It
Amos 9:13 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “When the ploughman shall overtake the one who gathers the harvest, And the one who treads the grapes [shall overtake] him who sows the seed [for the harvest continues until planting time]…” (AMP)
There is mostly a time delay between sowing and reaping. I want to give you a secret. It is a secret because it is not commonly (or popularly) known. You can automate your giving Read the rest of this entry

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.”

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.
