GIVING


March 17, 2013


No matter how delicious a meal is, there is a limit as to how long it can stay in the body system, after which it becomes poisonous. Even if you had dinner with the President of the United States of America and you feel like keeping the food in your stomach as a souvenir from the white house, after some time, the food turns acidic and must leave your body, or else you might end up in the hospital or in the grave. The joy of eating is giving it out in form of a waste.

The world calls prosperity how much you have, but the kingdom of heaven measures your prosperity by how much you give. That’s why the Bible says “Give, and it shall be given unto you…” I always tell people that what this verse is saying is that “Refuse to give, and you will refuse to get”.

What you give is what you get.

The beautiful thing about giving is that you get much more in return. The widow of Zarephath got barrels of oil in exchange for just a handful of meal and a little oil in a cruise given out. If she has refused to give out that day, she would have eaten the little meal and die in famine and penury.

Giving to God opens unto you the windows of heaven. Giving to the poor makes their maker attend to you. Giving gets you going in life.

Pastor E.A. Adeboye gave his car out by selling it for the church and today, we can all see the outcome of such act. God will never give you what you give out, He will give you much more than you can ever think of or imagine.

Check your environment today and bless someone with something. A cup of rice might be all that one family needs to survive today.

May you always have to give in Jesus Name. Amen!!!
