Fruitful giving


And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
- Deuteronomy 8:3.

Everything start and end with words. our words should be set to accomplish something at every point. Our givings, offering or gifts, it shouldn't be some sort of religious activity, but with cautiousness and sense of commitment that we are doing it as unto the Lord God and not unto man. Even though men will receive it from us here.

I believe all our giving should be done as an act of obedience and more so, acknowledging Him as the ultimate source, that we are in a privileged position to be on the giving side, as an act of grace and not by our works. If need be we should take time to write the words to speak or proclaim to the offering carefully before offering it or them, Deuteronomy 26:1-15.

It's not the amount that please God, it's the heart of gratitude in acknowledging Him as our source, this is what makes room for higher levels of increase, Malachi 3:10. This is expressed with the words of our mouth that comes from a sincere heart.
Deuteronomy 8:18 says,
"But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day."

 Words without corresponding action amount to nothing, giving without love as a motivation is nothing, both are void without understanding. Our expression of genuine love is coupled with giving, this is the highest expression, that there is, John 3:16. It all expressed with words.

Have a fruitful week, in Jesus name! 

Jesus is Lord!

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...
