IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL
TOPIC: GIVING ACCORDING TO JESUS
The Lord Jesus wants us to practice benevolent or charitable giving.
Jesus said "When you give to the poor . . . ." (Matthew 6:2-3). Jesus is specifically teaching about "alms" in this passage: aid, charity, or benevolent offerings for the needy. Do you give amply enough to the Church that she can be generous in benevolent giving?
The Lord Jesus reminds us that our giving is ultimately to the all-seeing heavenly Father.
Jesus said "When you give . . . ; your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you"
(Matthew 6:3-4).
When we give, we are not simply adding to the Church budget, we are giving up a thank offering to the Father Himself. Thus, we must all give "as unto the Lord."
Our ultimate goal in giving is to please Him. Are you conscious of the fact that your giving is to the Lord and seen by the Lord?
LET US PRAY, FATHER IN JESUS NAME, LORD MAKE ME A GIVER AND NOT A BEGGAR IN JESUS NAME
