Bible Verse of The Day – 1-31-19

Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

We recently shared in a video how God brought us through a season of famine that looked quite hopeless to us. We were struggling financially due to a factory closure. Our income had been severed and it left us in shock.

In the midst of that famine, though, God spoke to our hearts as we listened to a message about covenant. That day, we learned the importance of entering into a covenant with the Almighty, the Creator of everything we see.

And in the midst of our lack, we did just that; entered into a covenant with Him that would change our lives.

As we prayed over a massive pile of bills and repented before God for not putting Him first in our finances, He began to teach us and direct us. He also went to work on our behalf.

God began to show us favor in areas where we thought there was no hope or chance for favor. He began to show us that because we had chosen to give and to honor Him with what little we had, He would lead us out of the famine.

No, we did not come through it without wounds or scars. But we did come out of it with victory and changed hearts.

The key to all of this was one thing: giving.

As we gave, God gave back to us. He provided for us, He opened up opportunities for us, both financially and spiritually. And it was during this season of famine that he called us to lead, and to share His message with others.

We didn’t know at the time exactly how it would all play out. We just knew that things were changing, and that it was all by God’s hand.

Now, just over 20 years later, we live 100% by faith each and every day. God showed us that honoring Him with everything we have is the only way to live. And when we do this, He also honors us.

We no longer work corporate jobs. We work for God full time. And we rely on Him for everything we need.

He has brought some wonderful people into our lives who trust Him enough to sow into this work, making it possible for us to do what we do. And for that, we are eternally grateful.

We are in awe at how God provides for us, day by day. And for those who give, we offer a heartfelt “Thank You”. You are truly appreciated for your obedience to the Holy Spirit.

We love each and every one of you.
