Topic: A Liberal Heart? [Monday 27, November 2017]
Memorise: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” – Luke 6:38
Read: Proverbs 11:25
“The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.”
Bible In One Year: Romans 8-10. Hymn: Sing Hymn 4 — Take My Life And Let It Be
MESSAGE:
When it comes to giving, the truth of the matter is that what you give may leave your hand, but it never leaves your life. It is to our own advantage to meet the needs of others around us. When you meet the needs of the Almighty God, He will in turn meet your needs. The truth is that God is the only one who doesn’t have a need. Whenever He tells you He has a need, it is only a way to set you up for a miracle. Every child of God should have a giving heart. You must be very generous in giving as you have been blessed by the Almighty God.
Those who never give will continue to beg. You must never be tired of giving because the reward for your giving will never miss you. Solomon was a rypocsl example of someone who was a cheerful giver. No wonder God prospered him. God gave him more than he ever demanded. There are rewards for the act of giving. The one who gives freely will be taken care of by God. The one who finds it difficult to give will also find it difficult to receive.
Key Point: Your life isn’t meaningful until you answer to the needs of others.
Sing Hymn 4: Take My Life And Let It Be
1. Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2. Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3. Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.
4. Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
5. Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
6. Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
