Topic: Partnership That Secures Your Future.
Memory Verse: Matthew 6:20. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Bible Reading : 2 Corinthians 8:1-3 NIV. Key Verse: v2.
And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own,
The Macedonian churches did something that touched Apostle Paul. They were very generous in giving their substance to support the work of God committed to his care in difficult or trying times, though they were not men of affluence. The people took steps to give beyond the expectation of the Apostle himself. Now he began to use them as a reference point to teach others. ”For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.” 2 Corinthians 8:3-5.
Many people in our churches are busy asking God for many things they want him to do for them. They also forget that God has needs. There are things he wants done on earth which will never be done except he is able to lay hands on someone who is willing to be used in that direction. Many believers seem not to understand that one of the easiest ways to warm ourselves into the heart of God is by discovering those things he wants done as God which he needs to lay hands on a man to accomplish and get them done. ”The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery; they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the foreigner, denying them justice. “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one . So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.” Ezekiel 22:29-31.
In above scriptures, we see God looking for a praying man or intercessor for his generational need to be met and found none as everyone minded his business and household. Today God is also looking for sons/daughters of consolation. Men that will inconvenience themselves where necessary to make sure the need of preaching the gospel to every creature and in every nation and language is met. When our love for God and his kingdom moves us to give sacrificially to his work, we form a partnership with the master that secures our financial future. Such people understands how to take advantage of the poverty of Jesus to tap into his riches. “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” John 15:1-2.
Prayer :Thank you Father because you are a loving master. Today open my eyes to see those your needs around me that I can meet. Help me to always partner with you to enforce your plan and purpose in my generation. Thank you for using me in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Joshua 23:1-16.
