Today I would like to share scriptures that highligtht the rewards of 'loving our neighbour as ourselves'. They all teach the same message - it is good to give.
- "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" (Luke 6:38).
- "Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God" (2Cor. 9:10-11).
- "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, " says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and our out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it" (Mal.3:10).
- "Jesus answered, 'If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven" (Matt 19:21).
My Prayer
Thank you Father Yahuah, for the many blessings that we receive from You day after day. Forgive us for often taking the things You give us for granted. Father, please teach us to honour You by giving generously out of what You have given us to all who have need. Help us to do it not because of the rewards, but out of love to our neighbour and obedience to You. We pray in Jesus' name. Aman.
