The Power of Giving to Others to
Receive from God
Have you been asking God for
something and it seems as if it is not forth coming? Many times, Christians
bury themselves in their challenges to the point they sometimes think that God
has forgotten them. I have good news for you if you are part of those people,
God can never leave you nor forsake you. This post shares what you should do to
provoke God’s intervention in your life.
Let your conduct be without
covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said,
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV).
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 – Luke 6:38 (NKJV).
And the LORD restored Job’s
losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much
as he had before – Job 42:10
Everyone faces one challenge or the
other at some points in his or her life. What determines how fast you overcome
is your faith in God. There is nothing impossible or difficult for our God (Luke
1:37, Jeremiah 32:27). The challenge is that many Christians dwell in their
problems and so are blinded to God’s outstretched hands towards them. They
actually say to God through their thoughts, actions and words, “You can’t help
me”. Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God, this
means without faith you can’t receive from God.
When you dwell in your challenge,
the word of God is inactive in you even though you know what it says concerning
your situation. Dwelling in your challenge also robs you of your joy, which is
what you use to draw from the well of salvation (Isaiah 12:3). Furthermore, it
gives you the wrong picture. When you picture victory over that challenge you
get victory (Jeremiah 1:12). “What do I do”, you may ask me. I will say, give
to others especially when you are challenged. Read more...
