EVEN AS SHE WAS DYING....
I read this message in one of the ''OUR DAILY MANNA'' and I was
blessed and I believe, it will also believe you
I love a story I read recently about a woman who was in a church
on Sunday morning listening to the sermon. Suddenly she fainted and
hit her head on the pew in front of her. Someone in the congregation called an
ambulance. As they strapped her to a stretcher and got ready to head out of the
door, she regained her consciousness. She motioned for her daughter to come
near. Everyone thought she was summoning up strength to convey what would be
her last words. The daughter leaned over until her ear was at her mother’s
mouth. ‘‘My offering is in my purse’’ she whispered. Did you get the lesson? NOT EVE DEATH COULD STOP HER FROM GIVING. Even in the valley of the shadow of
death, giving was her heartbeat! Many
have allowed lack to stop them from giving. Many have allowed fear of poverty
to stop them from giving. Over and over God has given them an opportunity to
increase their income, but they have turned Him down again and again. You need
to tell yourself today, ‘‘enough is enough.’’ A great man
once said, ‘‘Every opportunity to give is an opportunity to increase your
income.’’ If you want to see the flood of God’s
provision in ways that you’ve not seen before, begin to give in ways that you
have not given before. Many people say.
‘‘when my income increases, I will increase my offering’’ No! No! No! Kingdom
principles don’t work like that. It’s like saying that when my chicken starts
laying eggs, I will start giving her food. Or, when my orange plant starts
producing fruit, I will start watering it. Giving always comes before
receiving. If you want to increase your
income level, INCREASE YOUR GIVING
LEVEL. God may not give you back cash for cash, but for your giving, there
are seasons; He will give you blessings money cannot buy.
- Renew your love for GOD and for His cause.
- · Give to His work even from your little.
- · Give you best and God will give you His best- even blessings money cannot buy
