God give you much for you to give much


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: GOD GIVE YOU MUCH FOR YOU TO GIVE MUCH.

The Bible teaches that the liberality of God's blessings to us is connected to the liberality of our Christian giving.

Though it may seem strange, both Jesus and Paul emphasize that there is a relation between our giving to the Lord and the Lord's giving to us.
As Paul says in 2 Corinthians 9:6 "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."

About this matter J.A. Beet once said: "They who in giving think, not how little they can give, as they would if self-enrichment were the aim, but of benefits to be conferred, will receive back on the same principle. As they do to others, so God will act to them."

Jesus reminds us of this in Matthew 6:4, where He teaches that our reward in giving comes from our heavenly Father. As someone once said: "The desire to be generous and the means to be generous both come from God."

Do you realize that the Lord has given you much, so that you can give much?

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME. MAKE ME A CHEERFUL GIVER, TO WIPE TEARS FROM PEOPLE FACE.

Share this meal
Good morning friends
