GIVE TO BE COMMENDED

By -



Do you know that God watches how we give for the work of evangelization? Do you know He observes to know the sincerity in our giving?
And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury. Mark 12:41-43
Christ sat over where He could have a good view of the way people were casting their offerings; He saw what they have in the pockets and what they chose to give to God from it. My friend, God is observing our givings in relation to what we have in our pockets. He knows the position we’ve placed Him on our priority list when it comes to giving; God tend to be the last to receive from what He has giving us. Most of us give to other things first and if there be any remaining by chance, we may then give to God. God is not mocked, wherever we placed Him on our prioty list, that’s where He will place us on His. Giving to God is the only way we prove we love God, whoever can’t give to God in his lack is a fair-weather Christian.
The widow that got commended by God wasn’t the lady that gave the highest amount, because God checks our pocket and our giving to know how we gave. She gave her all, meaning that she placed God above all her spending, she placed God over all her priorities and Christ stood up to that giving and commended her. By making God receives her all, she wont lack, because there is none that had ever given all to God that never received all from God. If you are shrewd with giving to God, God will in turn be shrewd in responding to your financial demands.
You may not have the highest money to donate, but give so that the host of heaven will stand up and commend your giving. Remember God commend you not by the side of your donation, but by what you gave from what you have and no one has nothing.
God bless you.
We invite you to partner with our building projects.
Is not the size you give that matters, its how you’ve priotized God in your expenditures; the way you give to God is the real test of how you love God.

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
