MORE BLESSED TO GIVE
“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive”- Acts 20:35
Our point of stress from our opening verse is the word of the Lord that says, it is more blessed to give than to receive.
Receiving is not a bad thing, but a good thing, in fact it’s blessed to receive, but more blessed to give.
It is a higher level of blessing on the part of those that gives than on the parts of those that receives, it is more blessed to give, though both are blessed.
Our mentality should not always be to receive and receive, we should step up by giving. Out of that which you’ve received, you give.
Everyone that gave in the scriptures, ever had before they gave, they were blessed before they gave and their giving makes them more blessed- happier, relevant, fulfilled, joyous and impactful.
There is always something to give from us, either with us or in us. And as you give it, you are more blessed and satisfied, increase and enlargement will become yours and with that there will also be more to give at other times.
No matter how small our giving is, though due to our capacity, the issue is that according to the words of God, we are more blessed.
All that comes into our hands or that is in us, is not just for us, there is a portion of it meant to be released for us to be more blessed.
Our giving should be to God and humanity. Though God doesn’t spend money, but He receives the honor in it, when we give towards the establishments of kingdom in tithes, offerings, pledges and the likes. Giving to humanity is giving to people in the name of the Lord, supporting the weak, appreciating people and being a blessing to them.
God loves a cheerful giver, not the one giving to secure something or get something in return. Gods idea of giving is that we do it willingly, not compulsorily, but as we determined in our hearts to do.
We give because we are blessed. When we give we sow honor and we are more blessed.
DECLARATION: I’m a giver and I’m more blessed as I give, I give to the things of God and to people around me, Amen.
