Pharaoh's daughter who later found Moses in a basket on the river, cared for him in their palace through his maturity. God would later call Moses by the burning bush and task him to lead out the Israelites out of Egypt.  Moses did not only achieve that but also successfully brought his followers out through the red sea. Moses was burried by God in Moab, at the summit of Nebo's mountain whe...

KEEP YOUR HEART WELL.

    " Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life." Proverbs  4:23. KJV. Lot of the things christians are surrounded by today in this world, chiefly the social media, are not helpful. It is the reason why our opening verse suggests that we guard our hearts. Now, the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart. And these spoken words go a long way to shape our lives. It's therefore patent that we can only let out good words when we first stock our hearts with positive information and faith-filled words. The two main gateways to the heart are the eyes and the ears. Now, guarding the heart means preventing negative information from reaching it through these main channels. That means, friends and environments that pose as potential threats to the peace, joy and love in our hearts must be barred.  Disclosed below are a few ways by which we can keep our hearts as we journey through this world. 1. Mind your Mind:   "A good man produces go...

THE GRACE OF GIVING

 

“…see that you also excel in this GRACE OF GIVING.”

2 Corinthians 8:7.


It’s an indisputable fact that our walk with God is strictly a walk of sacrifice or giving. We are either giving of our strength, possessions or money. But the seeds we sow, in the form of tithes, firstfruits, or thanksgiving often yield below the peak for some christians. Such are they that are advised by Apostle Paul to excel in The Grace of Giving.

One may ask, “what extra Grace do we need for giving?” ; “aren’t we supposed to simply give and wait for results?” Emphatically, NO !
Giving is disciplined by principles. There’s the need for spiritual privilege – a reconditioning of The human Spirit so one can passionately, continuously and comprehensively offer of his or her own unto The Lord. And it’s only the Grace of Giving that positions us in this state.

By this Grace, we first submit ourselves (our hearts ) to God; because our hearts are now governed by God, He alone – by His Spirit, determines how, when and what we give. Having learnt lessons from how Saul and Uzziah missed God in offering their sacrifices, this Macedonia church, by this Grace of Giving, rather sacrificed themselves to God before they offered many more gifts to Him.

This Grace of Giving recognises neither afflictions nor poverty. Again, the Macedonia church was so heavily engraced for giving that their penury and troubles couldn’t bar them off. They would rather give joyously for their hearts had been given to God with whom they’re in love. Their love for God made them proritise GIVING over all other personal needs. And when they did, they gave their best, avoiding the mistakes of Eli’s sons regarding sacrifice !

Beloved, The Grace of Giving isn’t only a supplier of seeds; it’s also a renderer of harvests to the sower so he or she may continue giving to the kingdom. It’s my prayer that The Lord helps each and everyone of us grow in this Grace also. Hallelujah !
