Generosity: A Pathway to Abundance

 




A generous person will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. Proverbs 22:9

There is a very important question that many people ask, and I believe you have asked yourself as well. "How do I receive God's blessings in my life?" And I believe you've already found some answers, and you are working on them.

Today, the word of God reminds us of one of His principles for receiving His blessings, which is to help the poor.

The word of God says: "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done." Proverbs 19:17 So when you help the poor, you are lending to God. Don't lose hope if you haven't seen the results of helping the poor yet. Our God is faithful; know that He owes you, and He will surely repay you.

When you help the poor, know that you are storing up treasure in heaven. It's an imperishable treasure that your children and future generations will benefit from, even if you don't see it now.

"Matthew 19:21 Jesus answered, 'If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'" And the word of God also says: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21

God's blessings do not only come through prayer or being prayed for. Some people have fallen into the trap of deceit, where they're told they will succeed just by praying or being prayed for.

Others are deceived by witch doctors and through witchcraft. But the truth is, Satan can not bless you; he himself is cursed, so he can not give you blessings. He will give you money that will torment you, and that wealth cause you to suffer. Therefore, you may be rich, but you won't have blessings.

The bible says "The blessing of the LORD, it make rich, and he added no sorrow with it Proverbs 10:22." It is only God's blessings that will give you peace even when you face financial challenges, God will give you his peace.

So, child of God, continue to trust in God. Live a righteous life, work with integrity, and don't do anything illegal. Whatever you earn, even if it's little, help the poor and needy, and give offerings, and God will bless you and your descendants.

Prayer: O LORD, I ask You to guide my ways in this world, grant me to live a righteous life, and work with integrity. I also ask for a spirit of generosity and love for the less fortunate. So that I may be blessed, along with my descendants. Amen.

Are You With The Right People?

Pursue righteous living…Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22   If you want to be in God’s will and experience His blessings, you have to be around the right people. The people who are right for you are the people who will be honest with you. They don’t just tell you what you want to hear, but they tell you what you need to hear. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” (Proverbs 27:6). Good friends are not afraid to confront you.   Get around the right people because everybody who comes into your life brings a spirit. Sometimes, it is easy to gravitate to people we can relate to and who are similar to us. But the problem with that is, if you both share the same weaknesses, you will not grow in that area. You need to get around someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak. They know how to help get you to where you want to be.   In 2 Chronicles 10, Rehoboam had just been appointed king. Some of the leaders of Israel met w

How Are Your Management Skills? (Part 1)

  “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21   The way you manage your money will determine how much God will trust you with it. In Matthew 25, a wealthy man entrusted his finances to some of his servants. He gave them each certain amounts, and when he returned, he found that some had used the money to make more money, but one servant had just hidden his in the ground. The master (who represents God) was very unhappy with this servant and called him “lazy and wicked” and even took away the little he had been entrusted with.   The master was happy with the others because no matter the amount they had been entrusted with, they used what was given to them and increased it. The servant, who was given only one bag of gold, made the decision to bury it. God expects you to use what He has given you to be a productive person. Even if you ju

Choose love over judgment

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:21 NKJV   The message today is clear and very brief. God reminds us that our righteousness is not attained through our actions but by faith in Jesus Christ. If our righteousness is obtained by faith and not by deeds, why do we judge each other? Why do we point fingers? Why do we gossip? The mouths of Christians have become very quick to judge others when they make mistakes. Let's not judge others, especially when they make mistakes. Remember that the weaknesses you judge in others, you also have, and often yours are worse than those you judge. The word of God says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2."   Secondly, let's not consider ourselves righteous and better than others. The word of God says, "for all
