Christian giving 6


“And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”  2 Corinthians 10:6

Christian giving is motivated by obedience to God. The best of God is accessed through obedience. Anyone trying to use sweet words to motivate you to disobey God is working for the enemy and wants to prevent you from receiving the best of God. As Christians we must give based on obedience to both the written and the spoken word of God. Anytime you hear God and obey Him, you position yourself for the supernatural.

“And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.” Luke 5:5
“Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.” 1 Kings 17:9
“His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” John 2:5

Beloved, giving is commanded by God as an act of faith in Him. Giving is biblical way of accessing the blessings of God (Deut 28:1-13, Luke 6:38, Phil 4:18-19). The widow of Zarephath was having her last meal but yet God commanded her to sustain the man of God. She obeyed and consequently received the supernatural provision of God. Her last meal did not finish until there was abundance in the land.

May you hear God when He speaks to you. May you walk in obedience to Him in all things in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God give me grace to obey you in all things in Jesus name.
