TOPIC: TEACHINGS ON GIVING – Giving To God’s Servants (7)
MEMORY VERSE:
Acts 20:35.
“35. …, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
BIBLE READING:
Matthew 10:41
“10. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.”
Today, we are discussing about Giving to Men of God. I know many will say, “They have enough” but it was also given to them by someone like me and you, and do you know what, those givers are receiving the blessing. Ministers of God deserves gift in and out of season. They are a link and a representative of God to us. They close the bridge between us and God. They intercede for us even when we’re not aware, in a nutshell, they are our coverage through God.
Giving to ministers is showing gratitude to God not to man. Ministers have needs and responsibilities too. They have dependant and expectations. Yes, they are being paid by their churches, but very minimal to their responsibility. The Lord would have directed Elijah to the synagogue and not to the widow. Elisha would have be taken care of by the ministry of prophets but the shunamite did. When we give to ministers, it attract unspeakable blessings of God. Aside the tithe and offering, which are called for by God, showing gratitude of gifts of cloth, shoes, cars, house rent, children’s fee and many more sweetens their heart as much as God. God can’t take away His eye from our gifts to them. They also have needs, give to Ministers of God, not just your church Pastors, even in other Ministries as God lays it in your heart. Be a blessing to God’s servant and you will be rewarded by God.
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.
