Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly
Custodio
What God Says on You Matters Most (Part-3)
‘…In all things at all times, having all that you
need…’ 2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV
Today’s Insight
When God tells you to give of your finances in
order to fulfill someone else’s vision, you must realize:
(1) He’s testing your faith and your willingness to obey in difficult
circumstances. When Elijah the prophet asked a widow to share her
last meal with him, the timing seemed strange. There was a famine in the land
and people were dying. Who would have blamed her for saying ‘no’? But by
putting God’s interests before her own, she connected herself to a divine,
unending source of supply. The Bible says: ‘Whoever sows sparingly will also
reap sparingly and whoever sows generously will also reap generously …God is
able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times,
having all that you need, you will abound in every good work’ (2 Corinthians 9:6-8 NIV).
(2) He’s giving you an opportunity to sow into another’s life and reap
in your own. We love to quote, ‘My God will meet all your needs…’ (Philippians 4:19 NIV),
but do you remember who this promise was made to? It was written to those who
supported Paul’s ministry. ‘When I set out from Macedonia, not one church
shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; for even
when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again, when I was in
need’ (Philippians 4:15-16 NIV). Then Paul added these words: ‘My
God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.’
When you give, you are investing in the heavenly account you can draw on when
you have a need yourself.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for your Word today.
Lord thank you for giving me an opportunity to give because I am doing this for
you are the first Who give your Son Jesus for us in order to save us from
eternal destruction in the future to come. Lord than you for you are the one
teaching us how to give as you have said in your Word that if we give to
unfortunate or the needy actually we are giving to you and I believe by faith
that what I ever I give you will return this to me 30x, 60x and 1000x and that
is your promise in your Word. Lord thank you for this privilege to give our
time, our talents and money to your Kingdom so that many will be change their
lives and save to come to for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord
I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart
as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the
bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16
that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal
Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order to grow in your faith with God
