TOPIC: TEACHINGS ON GIVING – Giving To Believers (8)
MEMORY VERSE:
Acts 20:35.
“35. …, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
BIBLE READING:
Galatians 6:9-10.
“6. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
7. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, ESPECIALLY UNTO THEM WHO ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH.
Apostle Paul speaking of doing good to others and He was specific of those to consider as priority which are, The Believers, the same Household of Faith. It’s a shame to be good outside but wicked in the household of Faith. Most times we prefer to give gifts to those outside our faith, it’s not wrong but there are people to consider First.
In Acts 4:34-35,
“34. Neither was there any among them that lack, for as many as possessed lands or houses, sold them and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35. And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.”
These the believers did in those days, they brought what they have, what they could give out, and it was distributed to the needy. Most times we look down on those who are the less privileged in our worship places, still take our gifts to those who have nothing to do with God. Many of our gifts falls to the ground where they can’t grow. GIVING of gifts to people of the same faith is more paramount to grow our faith. It encourages and build other’s faith. It’s an answer of prayers to many in our folds. Giving is more powerful when you give to those have nothing to give back in return. Check your household of Faith and give gifts to those who really need them, including the actives ones in God’s work.
Good Day and God bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
