Text: Proverbs 11: 24
Our Bible text makes us understand that when you are giving you will increase but when you withhold that which you have, it will be taken away from you. Gen. 22: 1-2 tells us about a man called Abraham who gave everything and at the same got everything he needed from God. God knew how Abraham loved Isaac and still demanded his son, God tested the level of love Abraham had for Him and when discovered that Abraham loved Him, He spoke to Abraham Gen 22: 16-17 and blessed him greatly, multiplying him tremendously. Children of God, if you want to increase, you must learn to be a giver. Have you given your life to God? The majority find it hard to give God also part of what God has given to them. 10% of the blessings they receive. I would like you to know that whether you give or not, the work of God will continually increase. Psalms 75: 6-7 reveals that promotions come from God, the lifter of man. Without God’s input in our efforts, we can achieve nothing. I pray God will continually help you in Jesus name.
Take a look at the baby analysis, as you give and feed the baby, the baby increases and grows, in that same manner we grow when we give unto God. Psalms 127: 1 This is a secret to guide you from vanity, release the substances in your hands, and give unto God. Look at givers, they never lack, they increase and grow. Though a man may be fasting and praying if you are not giving, transformation in your life is not secured. Learn from Father Abraham, he gave unto God.
Examine the life of King Solomon, and how God gave unto him wisdom and an understanding heart because he gave to God. 1 Kings 3: 6-10. If you are a giver, you will not regret and the promise of God will find expression in your life. God assured King Solomon that he would bless Him and that no king would be like Him. I pray for you that gives, God Almighty will continually bless and uplift you in Jesus name. And for you, that is yet to understand the concept of giving, may God grant you understanding to know as you ought to know in Jesus name. As you approach the ember months, learn how to give unto God and you will experience the countless blessings of God
