MFM DEVOTIONAL FOR FEBRUARY 2024
Biblical giving imposes some conditions on all believers for their giving to please God and attract His reward. God wants you and me to give bountifully, cheerfully, promptly (without delay), faithfully and sacrificially. It is unfortunate that many believers do not bear these criteria or demands in mind when they give. The truth is that you will never miss out on God’s promised rewards and blessings for giving if you meet His conditions or requirements. The most neglected of the divine conditions for giving is the principle of sacrificial giving. Today, many believers are very stingy towards God and this explains why you find poverty among children of the Kingdom whose Father owns all the gold and silver as well as the thousand cattle on the hills.
As a believer, the following are the things you can give to God sacrificially: (1) Your time – you can spend your time to serve God and advance the things of His kingdom (2) Your skills – you can use your skills to further the cause of the gospel and for the advancement of God’s kingdom on earth (3) Your finances – you could sow your tithes, firstfruit and offerings sacrificially. (4) Your praise and worship – In Hebrews 13:15, the Bible admonishes us to offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, the fruit of our lips.
Sacrificial giving is an act of love, obedience, faith and worship. It brings unbelievable, transgenerational and eternal rewards. As a believer, your sacrificial giving to God will work for your sustenance in your days of lack. This is what the widow of Zarephath experienced (1 Kings 17:7-16). Heaven will release torrential rainfall of blessings for you and your loved ones. This was Abraham’s experience (Genesis 22:17). You will enjoy God’s unprecendeted favour and excel in life where others have struggled (Psalm 90:17). You will receive God’s mercy whenever you seek for it. You will also enjoy God’s presence, protection and peace.
Beloved, God has respect for sacrificial giving. At critical moments, He will remember your giving (sacrifice or offering), and they will speak on your behalf. This was what happened all through Abraham’s life when he sacrificed his son, Isaac, with love. That sacrifice made God to enter into an everlasting covenant with Abraham.
