The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.

THE MESSAGE:
Dear reader, can you really affirm that you have been faithful in giving? If you can’t, then you need to make an important decision to be faithful in giving this year. What does faithful giving entail?

Faithful giving is investing in eternity. It is predicated on the truth that you are not giving to the pastor or the church but to God. Apostle Paul said, “Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account” (Philippians 4:17). Beloved, when you give to the work of the Lord, you are putting money in the Bank of Heaven and it pays guaranteed interest for all eternity. So, I encourage you to plan and determine to give more this year.

Also, faithful giving is one motivated by worship. God sees our giving as a spiritual matter directly relating to our worship of Him. In Philippians 4:18, Apostle Paul described the gift he received as “an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.” Giving faithfully to God and for the furtherance of the gospel amounts to laying up treasure in heaven because where your treasure is, there your heart will be (Matthew 6:21).

God rewards faithful giving. Abraham offered his son, Isaac, to God faithfully and God rewarded him with transgenerational blessings. In Genesis 22:15-18, the Bible says, “And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”

I encourage you to trust the living God who gave His Son for you by giving secretly, generously, systematically, purposely, cheerfully, sacrificially, out of a heart of gratitude, love and worship. If you do this, God will meet all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. Father, increase my capacity to love and give to You and others, in the name of Jesus.

2. Father, let my faithful giving connect me to transgenerational blessings, in the name of Jesus.

3. O God, arise and open my heavens permanently, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
