WHY GIVING TO THE LORD IS IMPORTANT?

Image
By Robert Arthur A. Because God is the source (giver, provider, author) of our wealth and blessings. Deut 8:18, Ps 112:3, Hag 2:8, Jam 1:17, Ps 104:19-29. Eg. Solomon - 2 Chron 1:9-12, Abraham - Gen 24:34-36, Isaac - Gen 26:1-3, 12-14 Therefore, we are just 'stewards' (watchmen, caretakers, overseers) of all the abundance of blessings and possessions we have. And must give them back to God for His honor and generosity. Pro 3:9-10 B. Because it is a command to give out our substance of means to support the needy. Deut 15:7-12, Acts 20:35. In other words we are to use our monies for the betterment of humankind and to glorify God. Deut 2:6, Ezra 7:15-18 C. A test of our faith. Job 41:11. Eg. Cain & Abel - Heb 11:4-5, Gen 4. Compare Malachi 1:6-9 D . ACTIONS IN GIVING TO THE LORD: 1. Giving is not for a public show - Mat 6:1-5 2. We must give willingly - 2 Cor 8:1-5 3. We must cheerfully give - 2 Cor 9:6-7 4. We must give as God hath prospered us -1 Cor 16:2, Deu...

THE OTHER SCRIPT WORTH READING

Image
By Robert Arthur The Bible has 66 books, 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in New Testament that we read to know the will of God.  God reveals His will to us through His written words from His prophets. For the Word of God equips us unto every good works. 2 Tim 3:16-17, John 5:39 On the other hand there is another important " script " which also must be read to know Christ Jesus more. And that script is that of our Character, yes is your character! The composition of our Christian life is far much important to be read and assess by those who are from within and without. It is not a script written by pen and paper, it is indeed the testimony of our Christian life. The Apostle Paul had to say this concerning our manner of lives.  " Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters  of commendation from you? Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men : Forasmuch as ye are manifestly dec...
