TOPIC: God: Our Role Model for Giving and Receiving (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 26 February 2019)
Bible In One Year: Numbers 12-14; Mark 5:21-43
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 11:24-27
MEMORY VERSE: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” – John 3:16
The MESSAGE:
John 3:16, our Memory Verse for today, is the most famous verse in the Bible. In that verse, God teaches us that it is scriptural to expect to receive back when give. Let us look closely at this verse to establish this truth.
First, the verse says that God so loved. Our motivation in giving must be right. God’s motivation for giving to us was love. It was right. Our motivation for giving must be love too. If the motivation for giving is wrong, the giver may not receive a good reward. The second important point in the verse is that God gave. God’s love was turned into an act of giving. The Bible encourages us to give. Giving is an act of obedience, faith and worship. It attracts great divine rewards (Luke 6:38). Givers never lack.
Another important point in the verse that we need to learn from is what God gave. He gave His only begotten Son. He gave His very best, His most priced possession. So, we also must give our best. Make sure your tithe, offering, first fruit and everything you give God is the best. What you sow in giving, you will reap. Remember the story of Cain and Abel. In addition, God gave for a specific reason –to get man back from satan. God’s deepest desire is to have man restored to Himself. And to get that done, He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus to die for our sins. What is your need? Your gift, as an act of your deepest love and strongest faith, is the key to your having that need met. It is wise to correctly identify the specific reason for your giving and trust God to meet that need. The principle worked for God, it will work for you too. Also, God gave specifically. Our salvation cost Jesus His life (John 12:24). It also costs us full repentance and the giving of our lives to God. Finally, God’s plan works. Souls are saved because God gave His best, gave first, and gave expecting to receive! God Himself is our role model for giving and receiving.
Beloved, I encourage you to cultivate the lifestyle of giving today. Note how God gave and follow in His footstep. He is our role model extraordinaire. He gave first, gave His best, gave sacrificially and gave expecting. He got awesome and amazing results. As you follow His steps, your results too will be great.
