Bible Verse of The Day – 12-12-24

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.”

Giving is hard for most people when times are tough.

It is the last thing we want to think about during hard seasons.

But the scripture does not say to wait until things are going well to give. It doesn’t say to wait until we are in the mood to give, or to wait until we reach a certain goal in our situation to start giving.

If we learn and understand that giving is the seed that opens the door for God to give to us, we wouldn’t hesitate when He asks us to sow a seed or to give of our tithes and offerings.

We sow that seed and God will water it; it will grow!

If things are hard for you today, don’t “give up”. Give OUT!

Make it a point to give, to sow as God prompts you to do so.

If you don’t have a seed, if you are broke and on your last leg, you be the seed. Open up your heart and let God use you in whatever way necessary.

Give of what you have to Him and He will multiple it as you are obedient to His word.

The verse says to give, and it will be given to you. Let Him give to us good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over into our lives!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-17-24

Galatians 6:7 (NKJV) 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Sometimes we will face situations that will really test us and show us how weak or strong we are when it comes to sowing the right seeds at the right time.

Have you ever been accused of something, and you weren’t at fault? The seeds you sow during those situations are important.

They are seeds that are noticed, and we will reap from those seeds!

When everything in us says, “run from it, run far away”, but we stay and go the extra mile to do the right thing, we are sowing very good seeds that we will reap from.

It’s those hard situations, we need to take our time and get God’s wisdom and His understanding on how to turn things around.

When we obey His plan, we will sometimes experience a great feeling of accomplishment or victory. But that’s not what it’s about.

What’s better is knowing that when we sow these types of seeds, we are bringing glory and honor to the One who created us and saved us.

Reaping from those seeds in the natural is just a “fringe benefit” compared to that.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-30-23

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.”

Give and it will be given to us pressed down, shaken together and running over!  Amen.

Many people today are facing financial struggles. They work so hard to just make ends meet.

Some may only have enough for their bills and to put food on their table.

If we were to check on our neighbors that we think are doing so much better than us, we would probably find that they are going through similar things in one way or another.

We are not alone on this journey. Others are so much worse off. If we only knew.

It’s everywhere. Prices are high, and our money doesn’t go as far as it used to.

We are paying double what we used to pay for things, and working harder and longer hours than ever before.

Trusting God in such times is a test for us all.

But God doesn’t tell us to obey His scripture only when times are good and everything is plentiful.

Where would having faith be in doing that?

It is in times like these we need to press in and continue to do the right thing in trusting Him.

1 Corinthians 1:9 (NKJV) 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Tithing is the first place people will pull back from if things are getting tight or the pressure is on financially.

We know it’s hard to remain steady when we feel the pinch. It’s how our flesh reacts to such things.

However, tithing is the very practice we need to protect and keep pushing through. It is through our tithes and offerings, and giving out of our need, that will pull us through such hard seasons in our lives.

We can attest to this in our own lives many, many times.

We can’t let fear stop us from trusting God.

Keep sowing where God tells you to. Keep being faithful and obeying His Word.

He will come through and it will be measured back to us according to how we have given!

We who need a job, we who need a home, we who are struggling in our finances, or even in our family; we need a breakthrough and deliverance in some areas of our life.

He will come through, no matter how things look. Keep giving to Him in whatever way He leads you to. Don’t pull back because of what we see.

We walk by faith, not by sight. Stand on those promises in His Word! Amen.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-20

John 4:37-38 (NKJV) 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

As we walk this walk with Christ, one of the things that’s important to understand is that we work for Him, not for us or for anyone else.

But most importantly, all of the glory and honor for whatever we happen to accomplish while we’re here on earth belongs solely to Him.

If we’re not careful, it can be easy to let our pride and ego get in the way, and before we know it, we become puffed up and haughty.

One of the ways to avoid that is to understand that we are simply laborers for Christ. And we are only one of many!

No matter what we do, the labors we put forth are only a tiny little piece of a very giant picture.

We may be a groundbreaker. We may be a sower. We may be a waterer. Regardless, God is the One who reaps.

1 Corinthians 3:6-8 (NKJV) 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

It’s all His. He created it all, including you and me. He owns it all.

Without Him we are nothing. Oh, we can exist without Him, but our lives are empty and aimless.

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

We need to be sure we understand why we labor, and Who we labor for. Once we get that understanding we will learn to set ourselves aside and not worry about getting credit for it or wanting notoriety.

So, let’s be sure to keep a right attitude and right motives as we labor for the kingdom, being sure to always keep God first and foremost.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-27-19

Matthew 13:8-9 (NKJV) 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

We want to thank you all for your giving, helping this ministry to grow and reach all over the globe with God’s life-changing message of hope and love!

Your support is a blessing to us, and we are in awe when God touches your heart and you act on that heartfelt touch. You are not only sowing a heartfelt seed, but a seed of obedience into God’s kingdom.

Every life that is touched, changed, saved, delivered or healed, your seed has helped provide for God’s word of love to reach them wherever they are.

We know that God is going to take care of you as He does for us in so many ways. We have no doubt that if you are having any kind of concerns about money, health, family issues, business or ministry situations, etc., God is faithful to meet our needs according to His riches in glory.

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

The things that we may be facing today can easily be turned around as we obey Him in whatever He is asking us to do. And if it is to sow, don’t ever hold back.

When we obey that which He is asking us to do, that seed will be sown and it will grow and multiply back to us up to a hundred-fold.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-1-19

Malachi 3:10 (NKJV) 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.

Is our money spent before we even cash our check? Are we just buying things on the spur of the moment, things that we don’t need? Are we dining out more then we dine at home?

Watching what we spend our money on and taking the time to invest it into a good place will help us to be the head and not the tail. God is willing to do His part, but are we willing to step up to the plate and do ours? He can only work with what we give Him.

Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV) 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

We may not even think about God when it comes to our money. We just keep on doing what we’ve always done and leave Him out of the equation. And we find ourselves constantly in the same boat; never ahead.

God wants to help us. He wants to open for us the windows of heaven and pour out blessings.

We challenge you today, if you are not already giving to God from your firstfruits, start by setting a date and begin to put Him first on your list of expenses. Watch how things begin to change for you.

We are not saying it will happen instantly. It may or may not. But, as you are faithful and obedient with your money, you will at some point begin to see His favor working in your life. You will notice at times looking at your situation and wondering how it ever worked out the way it did. Well, that’s God!

God is good. Invest in Him. He is trustworthy and a safe place to deposit into.

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.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-9-17

Proverbs 3:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

Honoring God with our finances is critical to our financial stability and wellbeing.

Many of us go through financial trials. It happens to just about everyone at some point. Sometimes this happens due to poor choices on our part. Other times it happens due to things that are beyond our control.

But no matter how or why it happens, one thing is for sure. And that is this; if we honor God with our finances, He will protect us and provide for us no matter what comes along.

There is protection that comes when we honor God with our money. It’s a spiritual principle that was set in motion by God Himself.

How we honor God with our finances (or not) also says a lot about our faith and trust in Him. Why? Because, most times, our money comes by way of hard work on our part. And to most of us our money is a prized possession that we are not willing to part with easily.

But if we truly trust God with everything else, we will also trust Him with our finances too. Jesus said this about it:

Matthew 6:19 (NKJV) 19 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

In the verses leading up to 19, Jesus had been speaking specifically about storing up treasures here on earth. He encouraged us to store up treasures in heaven, instead, and not to place so much value on money and earthly possessions.

And lastly, it is mentioned in several places that God wants us to give of our firstfruits. This means that we need to honor Him first, before anything/anyone else. Not give Him the leftovers after we have paid everyone else and spent more of it on earthly goods and possessions.

This is a hard teaching for many of us because it hits us in the wallet and causes us to really ask ourselves why we’re not giving God priority in our finances.

So we urge you to ask God about this and seek Him on this. And then put Him first, even with your money. And over time, you will see God move on your behalf, again and again, even when it looks like the rug has been pulled from under your feet.

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-30-14

Acts 20:35 (NKJV) 35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Giving.

It’s something that some of us do more readily and freely than others. But it’s something that God has told us all to do.

It’s funny that you’ll find many times that those with the most give the least and those with the least give the most. This isn’t always the case, but it happens a lot.

1 John 3:17 (NKJV) 17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

We’d like to encourage everyone today to give. If you’re not tithing, today is the day to start.

If you’re already tithing, ask God where to sow an offering.

And remember that giving is what opens the doors to receiving.

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.”
