Our Generosity attracts God’s Blessings

He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, And He will pay back what he has given.
Proverbs 19:17 NKJV

Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

The basis of Christianity is giving. For God so loved us that He gave us His only begotten son to die to set us free from sin and death. But for this, where would we have been?

Bible also encourages us to give, Apostle Paul engaged the church in Corinth to give because God loves a cheerful giver.

Today’s scripture as stated by King Solomon encourages all to pay attention to the poor or needy and provide the support or help that we can. This he stated is an act that God himself highly values and causes His eye and hand to turn towards us.

For God to pay you back for any act of kindness to the poor it means He needs to first recognise that act and step down from Majesty to reward.

May the Lord visit us more frequently because of our giving to the needy and poor. May we not be weary in doing good and being a blessing for the Lord is our great reward, May the Lord bless every giving heart today and forever more in Jesus Mighty name.

Sow generously for blessings as being stingy leads to poverty

There is the one who [generously] scatters [abroad], and yet increases all the more; And there is the one who withholds what is justly due, but it results only in want and poverty.
Proverbs 11:24 AMP

Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Our scripture for today highlights the importance of freely sowing and being blessed as against withholding that could lead to poverty. Be stingy and lose everything!

The one who scatters abroad and gives generously is the one who receives increase and therefore blessed.

May the Lord help us to live and have the heart that generously gives and receives the increase and blessings of the Lord. Jehovah be our help.Amen.

Blessed is the one that endures Temptations

Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
JAMES 1:12 AMP

Praise, glory and adoration be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

This morning Apostle James is telling us that God rewards abundantly the one who stands firm and faces trials and tribulations that come his or her way.

As children of the Most High God, we will experience some trials and temptations on this journey, our reaction or response to this is very important. Today’s scripture encourages every child of God to stand firm in times of trials so we don’t miss out the blessings of the Lord.

The blessings include being spiritually prosperous, favour from God and an ultimate victor’s crown of life! We must stay steadfast, we must persevere to the end to receive this crown, leave no room to fall by the roadside.

May the Lord help us to stay strong and steadfast no matter the challenge that comes our way. May we be approved by the Lord as worthy and faithful servants so we don’t miss out the victor’s crown of life in Jesus Mighty name.

Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness sake

“Blessed [comforted by inner peace and God’s love] are those who are persecuted for doing that which is morally right, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever].
MATTHEW 5:10 AMP

Thanks be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Today’s scripture was delivered as part of Jesus’ sermon on the Mount.

Jesus said that for everyone that is persecuted for righteousness sake, the kingdom of Heaven shall be your reward. Therefore anyone who strives to live a godly and upright life for the Lord and is being called names today like Osofo and Maame Osofo, should count it joy because of the ultimate reward.

The rewards are for now and forever more, stay on the righteousness path with the Lord and your reward shall be both physical and spiritual which is the ultimate reward of eternal life.

May the Lord grant us the grace that we need to stay and walk in righteousness till the very end so we do not miss out on His ultimate reward. May we be blessed as we keep doing what is morally right for God’s kingdom. Amen.
