FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE


God doesn't need your money to bless you. As a matter of fact, money is a secular commodity made by man. God still operates in the reality of trade by barter.

The most beautiful thing about God is that He works with the resources in your hands and multiplies it a great deal. He makes use of what is in your hand, not what isn't in your hand.

There is no pressure with Christ. He will never manipulate you with gaudy speeches, neither will he ask you to go overboard or borrow to please Him.

Anchor Scripture: {Mathew 10:8}
"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.''

The above scriptural passage did not include a charge or handout before obtaining miracles. But it is your sole responsibility to give back to humanity when He blesses you. That singular act is called Thanksgiving and it is very dear to God. {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."}

Never fall for gimmicks who brainwash you to believing that God always wants you to empty your barn like the poor widow who gave her all.

The story of the poor widow who threw in two mites into the offering bowl in Mark 12:41-44 is a peculiar one. Note that Jesus didn't lure her to into giving her all. She carried out the act willfully and was blessed accordingly.

In many cases sited in the Holy Bible, Jesus fed the hungry, healed the sick, raised the dead, gave succor to the mourning, among other great works without a charge. He set a model for his disciples and prophets to run with with.  See Acts 3, Mathew 13:13-21, John 14:13, Mathew 9:20-22 and Mark 10:46-52.

Earthly fathers/mothers nurture their offspring through infancy when they are are helpless, make provision at every phase and follow through till they attain maturity without a charge, how much more our Heavenly Father. See Luke 11:11-13.

Always remember that God doesn't need your money or material possession to bless you financially. He works with your obedience and blesses the work of your hands. Genesis Chapter 1 is a proof of his promises to mankind regardless of your tribe, race, religion, status, ethnic or cultural differences.

Develop capacity in any area of weakness and watch His words become manifest in your life and give you strength.

Trusting God for increase or miracle of any sort? Ask for help, obey His commands and wait on Him. He'll never forsake you.

PLEASE

Image
The word "please" is a subtle cry for mercy. It expresses one's vulnerability. The phrase 'please' has reinstated businesses, work, cordial and intimate relationships. In the same vain, it has clouded the thinking abilities of individuals, thus handicapping them. These "handicap" could entail compromising to illegitimate business deal, subscribing to peer pressure, or in serious occasion, giving up one's moral values. Some have contacted venereal diseases because of please . It is true that vulnerability is a bridge to connection. But never forget that vulnerability is one of the ways. There are others means of attaining it. Connection in this context means legitimate links to self purpose. Please can be used in harmless or harmful contexts. Stay woke! Ensure you're using the term "please" to achieve a purpose, not to attack a prey. If the eventual result of the use of your "please'' doesn't align with godly re...

UNEQUALLY YOKED

Who is the unequally yoked person? One who is unable to partner with you at a particular level. Failure to disassociate yourself from them will lead to sinking and eventual drowning. Anchor Scripture: { Proverbs 27:17 } "Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.'' Ab initio, humans were not wired to live in isolation, they were wired to have companions who will help them in their daily lives. Everyone who accrues successes at different level was helped. Iron sharpens iron. Never been heard of that iron sharpen plastic or vice-versa, the iron will remain blunt and will be unable to operate at the realm it was designed to, while the plastic will be dissected into bitty parts. "Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what fellowship does light have with darkness?"( 2 Corinthians 6:14- NET Bible ) This Biblical portion is one to ponder upon. Partnerships , Relationships , and Courtships are sensitive SHIPS that shouldn...
