SEVEN
GLORIES OF THE GIVER

Those who do
not give are like dustbins.

Be an
incurable giver

  1. 1.
    DIVINE BREAKTHROUGH GENESIS 18: 1-14

Abraham saw and ran after strangers to entertain them. He was a voluntary
giver. What he had been waiting for, for 25 years came that day. Givers do not
know the day when the breakthrough will come.

  1. 2.
    DIVINE PRESERVATION (THE WIDOW OF
    ZAREPHATH) 1 KINGS 17:8-16.

Why did God send Elijah to the widow? God knew she was a giver; she was
saved with her household.

Be an obsessed giver.

God will preserve a passionate giver.

  1. 3.
    DIVINE TREASURER 2 KINGS  4:8-17

The Shunammite woman voluntarily gave to Elisha. She gave food, then a
home. God gave her what money cannot buy: A
Child.

 

  1. 4.
    OVERFLOWING GLORY 2 CHRONCLE 1:6-12

Solomon receive a blank cheque from
God

Solomon gave 1000 burnt offerings to God

God gave him a blank cheque.

God asked him to ask whatsoever he wanted.

He asked for divine treasure of wisdom; God gave him more than he asked
for.

  1. 5.
    DIVINE ATTENTION MARK 12:41-44

Widow’s mite.

God pays attention to giving. When the widow gave all that she had; Jesus
called the disciples to see what the widow did.

God knows our ability.

  1. 6.
    DIVINE VISTATION ACTS 10:1-4

Story of Cornelius

Cornelius gave unreservedly!

It was as if it was not noticed until God visited; God remembered them
and paid them a visit.

  1. 7.
    IRREVERSIBLE BLESSING AND BLESSING THAT
    OUTLIVES THE BLESSED

God asked Abraham to give his only son.

Because Abraham gave his best; God swore that he will bless and multiply
his blessings

2 kings
4:8-37 narrates the inspiring story of a Shuna-mmite wowan. Whenever the
Prophet Elisha went to shunem, he stayed in her house. However, this woman and
her husband didn’t have any child. When Elisha discovered this, he told her to
expect a son, and in due course, she had a son.

Trouble
struck few years later when the child died, but the woman knew what to do. She
quickly dashed off to the Prophet Elisha with only one declaration on her lips,
“It is well”. Though there was a problem, she kept affirming that all was well.
She had an expectation, and she held on to that expectation even when it seemed
impossible; she kept on declaring it until she got it.

Just as this
woman did, you have to look at your situation through the eyes of your spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:57-58 says, “…..thanks
be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable…..”
Another
translation says, “……stand firm, let
nothing move you”
(NIV). God has given you the victory, so stand firm and
be unmovable. Don’t allow your thoughts and senses rule you, let God’s Word and
His Spirit direct you.

When trouble comes, God’s will is for
something good to come out of it. At such times, you must remember He is with
you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. If He delivered you in the past,
He will do it again. Call those times of deliverance to remembrance and express
your gratitude to God for them. That’s how to trust God and hold on to Him with
joy even in adversity.

What problem
are you facing today? Put God’s Word first, declare what He says about that
situation; be steadfast and unmovable in Him and declare with joy that all is
well! Amen!!!!

CONFESSION

I DECLARE THAT IT IS
WELL WITH ME. I’M NOT MOVED BY WHAT I SEE IN THE NATURAL BUT STAND FIRMLY ON
GOD’S WORD; AND THE POWER OF GOD IS RELEASED TO CAUSE A DESIRED CHANGE AS I
SPEAK THE WORD TO MY SITUATION IN JESUS CHRIST NAME. AMEN!
