Overflow in Giving

Day 27

Reading: Ex. 35:1- Ex. 37:29

God gives generously and thus instructed Moses on the offering to be received from the children of Israel towards the building of the tabernacle. God's condition was a willing heart. Learn to give willingly. Learn to give not under compulsion from sweet words spoken to loosen your purse strings. The offering that God required was specific. God will always instruct on what to give. Those who came to give were both willing and stirred to give to God. Giving requires a willing heart. Lord, may my heart be that of a giver. 

The people gave so much it was more than enough. Today we rarely see believers give more than enough. I believe one of the reasons why this is the case is because God's people are not where they ought to be in financial terms. I find today that many of us believers are dealing with debt which has made many slaves to serving money to service bills. Another reason I believe we see so much lack in the giving of the believers is because many believers have lost faith in giving towards the needs of the gospel. This is because of gimmicks in the church scene towards offerings and also the use of money in the house of God. May God forgive me where I failed in proper stewardship of His resources either personally or for the House of God. Revelation in giving will answer every query we have of giving. 

When God imparts the wisdom to fulfil a task He also releases the grace to teach others. Bezalel was not only anointed to build the tabernacle and all the required work, he also was given the ability to teach. Gifted artisans would through teaching become skilled.  God gives the wisdom and understanding to know how to do what is required to build His Tabernacle. There is wisdom in every facet of life that God is willing to give. May God anoint me with wisdom to build according to the pattern and teach others to do so.

Memory Verse: Ex. 35:21

Decree:

Father, I bow in worship at Your Throne. I decree that You are the Source of Wisdom. Lord, baptise me with wisdom. Wisdom for daily living, wisdom to build my life according to Your pattern, wisdom for marriage, wisdom for finances, wisdom for ministry, wisdom for leadership, wisdom that will bring light to nations, families, companies and mankind. I decree that from today my heart is a willing heart generous to provide for the purposes of furthering the Kingdom of God in Jesus name. Amen.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
