BE EXCITED TO GIVE

(It is the Secret to Receiving)

📖TO THE BIBLE

Luke 6:38

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

▶️LET’S TALK

In many places, people get excited when they hear the messages on receiving: how to receive increased money, how to receive increased blessings, how to “possess their possessions” and so on. But once you start teaching them that the secret to receiving is giving, the place gets quiet, and you can hear a pin drop! But you see, there’s a greater blessing for the giver than the receiver; the blessing lies in your giving. Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). There’s a promise on giving; but none on receiving.

Always be excited about giving. Be motivated to give all the time, for whatever you give shall be multiplied back to you. Now the Lord Jesus didn’t say, “Give money, and money shall be given back unto you.” No, He said “Give!” That means absolutely anything: time, prayers, anything! Whatever good thing you desire in your life, sow the seed of it into the lives of others and it will be multiplied in your own life (Matthew 7:12).

The blessing is for the giver, therefore make up your mind to keep giving, and always outgive your past. A giver is an automatic receiver because the more you give the more you receive. Never become tired of giving, and when you give don’t complain. Instead, be the one the Bible describes in 2 Corinthians 9:7 (AMPC)—a cheerful, joyous, “prompt to do it” giver whose heart is in his giving. The measure with which you give, is the measure with which you’ll receive. Therefore always give lavishly and bountifully, for that’s the secret to receiving and living in the overflow of God’s blessings.

▶️ GO DEEPER:

Galatians 6:7; 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 AMPC

🗣 PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for teaching me today the importance of being a cheerful, joyous, “prompt to do it” giver; I declare that I’m mightily blessed today as I give bountifully and lavishly, knowing that it’s more blessed to give than to receive, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
