OFFERING OUR RESOURCES TO GOD FOR EXCEEDING GREAT JOY.
Text:
LUKE 8: 1-3
Memory Verse:
PSALM 100:4.
Brief Commentary:
Giving resources to God involves intentionally stewarding time, talents, and finances (tithes/offerings) to support ministry, assist those in need, and advance His kingdom, reflecting a grateful, obedient, and cheerful heart. It recognizes God as the owner of all things, requiring a sacrifice, and a focus on His mission. Someone once said, \"The ministry of those in the foreground is often supported by those who work less visible but very essential\". We see this truth in the lives of the few women behind Jesus\' ministry in today\'s passage. These women not only supported Him once in a while with their own substance but actually traveled with Him wherever He went. He touched their lives and destinies and in appreciation to God Almighty, they became Life partners with Him in life and ministry. Our appreciation to God can only be measured by how much we offer our resources to be used to bless others. No better way to be grateful to God Almighty for His salvation than giving ourselves and resources fully for the purpose of kingdom service. Have you surrendered your life yet to Jesus? Offer your resources to Him for kingdom business.
Declaration:
Oh LORD, bless me more so I can affect more lives for You.
Prayer:
LORD Jesus Christ, teach us the best way to be grateful to You. Pray for the Directorate of Missions and all missionaries and mission fields.
