Memorise: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bossom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38
Read: Proverbs 11:25 (KJV)
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
Bible in one year: Exodus 1-3, Psalms 109:1-20
AS REVEALED BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE IN TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL
1. 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.
2. 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 strategy by Him to set you up for a miracle.
3. Every child of God should have a liberal heart. You must be very generous in giving as you have been blessed by the Almighty God.
4. When you sow into the lives of others, your soul shall be made fat with pleasure from God and will also be enriched with more grace. It is those who give more that receive more from God.
5. Those who never give will continue to beg. If you desire to relocate from the side of begging to the side of giving, you have to become liberal.
6. Everyone who would be a partner of Jesus Christ must learn to be a giver.
7. There are people who are always waiting for the blessing of God when they have not done anything for God. You sow nothing, you reap nothing. Hence, famine is guaranteed for those who fail to sow.
8. You must never be tired of giving because the reward for your giving will never miss you.
9. Whenever you have the opportunity to sow, don’t just sow, you have to combine knowledge with the sensitivity of the Holy Spirit so that your seed will not be sown where it cannot be harvested

SHORT REFLECTION BY THE LIGHT POINTERS
Proverbs 11:25 is a very deep scripture that should inspire us to stretch out our hands and help others always. It says “The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.”
Whatever we sow is what we shall reap and whatever we give unto God is not a loss as said by our Father in the Lord in today’s devotional. It is multiplied unto us when the harvest comes.
Giving is our Father’s nature and we should be like Him. God gave Jesus, Jesus gave His life, Abraham’s kind gesture brought him fulfillment of a long awaited desire and promise, Lot’s generosity saved him from being destroyed in Sodom and Gomorrah, Solomon gave a thousand offering and he got blessed beyond his request and the list of givers in the Bible goes on and on….
We can also live a life of abundance through our giving. The grace to meet other people’s needs and give unto God is released unto us in Jesus name. Thank God for blessing us with Pastor E.A Adeboye who gives us daily dose of God’s word through this devotional. More grace in Jesus’ name
Key Point
Your life isn’t meaningful until you answer to the needs of others.
HYMN
1 Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,
let them flow in endless 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.
