MFM Daily Devotional 3 February 2022 MESSAGE
Yesterday, we established the fact that God rewards faithful giving. Apart from Abraham who received huge rewards for his faithful giving, Jesus also gave His all and got mighty blessings from God.
Philippians 2:9-11 says, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a Name which is above every name: That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” We should imitate these role models.
Let us now examine the benefits of faithful giving. This will help you to make giving to God a priority in your life and to give even more this year.
First, faithful giving always results in receiving from the Lord and others. Luke 6:38 affirms this, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” As you increase your giving to God this year, heaven will bless you stupendously, in the Name of Jesus.
Second, God will bless whatever you put your hand to. Deuteronomy 15:10 underscores this point, “Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.”
Third, every time you give, you are declaring the following:
(1) You are blessed (Deuteronomy 16:17).
(2) You are righteous (Proverbs 21:26).
(3) You are obedient (2 Corinthians 9:13).
(4) You love God (John 3:16).
(5) You trust God (1 Timothy 6:17).
Another benefit of faithful giving is that God will increase you so that you can keep being generous (2 Corinthians 9:10).
Finally, you will receive a reward for your giving (Matthew 10:42).
Beloved, the foregoing benefits and many more await you as you give faithfully and generously to God and His work this year. Plan to give more tithe, first fruits, offering and alms (help to the poor, needy and less privileged).
The El-Shaddai will give you pleasant surprises, in the Name of Jesus.
