GIVING LOVE

-


John 3:16 KJV

[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


You can give without loving but you can’t love without giving. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Whatever we sow has a way of returning to us. It leaves our hands but it doesn’t leave our lives. It goes into the future to multiply and wait for us. Giving is my favorite past time. I get fulfilled being a blessing. My husband called me one day in the office and said he had a leading to sow the BMW 3 series we bought 6 months before then to a man of God and his family. The only thing I could say was, go ahead, the life of a man does not consist in the abundance of what he possesses. God meets our need per time. Money and possessions must not have a hold over us. 


No matter what I’m given, I make it a point of duty to ensure someone benefits from it. We have brought nothing into the world and won’t take anything out of it. Our joy is to make others joyful. When you give what you have, God gives you what you don’t have. God loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son and He is still reaping the whole world. Giving generously and sacrificially will always provoke a reward from God. Men may forget but the Rewarder never forgets.

 

God recognizes our act of giving. He said in Matt 25:40 when you feed the hungry, clothe the naked and visit those in prison, you have done it unto Him. Giving must be a way of life for us. The world system says hold back as much as you can but Kingdom system says give as much as you can. That is why the Bible says there is that scatters and yet increases. When you give it will be given back to you in good measure. 


As we approach Christmas, give love, hope, joy, light, help, clothes, food, money and whatever is in your capacity to be a blessing to others, especially those who are in need and also to those you want to appreciate or help. Nothing is too small to give, and nothing is too big to give. As you give, the Lord will meet you at the very point of your need. 

2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV

[7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give ; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Merry Christmas.

Shalom

TIME TO PRAY

-
There’s never a time to pray as this. We have been praying and it is obvious that our prayer is working for us. However, we need to intensify our prayer. No wonder Jesus said “men always ought to pray and not to faint.” We can not afford to fold our hands or faint    at a time as this, with the development all over the world. If we faint in the days of adversity, our strength is small.  IF WE DON’T PRAY, WE BECOME A PREY.  If we are willing to pray, there’s a God that is willing to answer. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV [14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. In the place of prayer, direction is given, help is secured and transformation takes place. Prayer is giving God permission to intervene in the affairs of men. You will agree with me that we need to give God permission to move in our lives and in our land. Wh

OVERCOMING FEAR

-
OVERCOMING FEAR Fear is a trick of the enemy to keep you oppressed, suppressed and depressed. You are probably afraid because of what you have seen or heard, something you believe you can’t handle. Have you ever asked yourself, why am I afraid? Assuming you have a project to deliver    and you don’t have the capital to execute it before the dateline, you get apprehensive and lose your sleep because a lifetime opportunity is about to slip off. But when you know a Bank will handle it, you go to sleep because your fear is taken care of. You have a Father who is not only greater than the Bank but owns the whole world (Psalm 24:1) and gives you access to Himself 24/7. He’s always ready to carry your burden if you bring them to Him. So why are you afraid/agitated? The issue with most of us is that we weigh our issues with our strength. We look    at our capacity or capability instead of looking at the capability of God. This reminds me of a story in the Bible in 1Samuel17 when Goliath thr

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

-
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS We are all blessed one way or the other. I see relationship as one of those blessedness. It’s important to God so it is very important to me. Some people will come your way for a short period and some for long periods almost a life time. When they go down memory lane in another ten years, would they be grateful they met you or otherwise? It is possible to be good and do a wrong thing that wipes out the good due to the extent of hurt it brings. I know there are people that you’re nice to that will forget and hold on to little wrong. There’s nothing you can do about that, just be good. Forgive, forgive and forgive. Applaud people when you can. Encourage them, help them, inspire them, appreciate them, love them, check up on them. These things have a way of coming back to you cos they are seeds. Relationships are resources, you may need to draw from, some time or maybe your children. You definitely will need people at every phase of your life. Don’t thin
