OFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE, DR. MRS LIZZY JOHNSON SULEMAN. MONDAY 11TH DECEMBER 2017

TODAY'S READING: Isaiah 51:17-23
TOPIC: GIVING IS FABRICATED IN YOUR NATURE
TEXT: Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."



God wouldn't ask you to give if He had not furnished you with the nature of giving. Scripture says it was on account of His love that He gave up Himself to die for the iniquity of mankind. This clearly reveals the giving nature that exists in the Godhead. And we are made known by scriptures that we are like Him in this world 1 John 4:17. And that entails that every believer should walk on earth even as Jesus walked 1 John 2:6. Being a child of God as you are, you have to realize that God expects you to function exactly like Him: no wonder He instructed through the Apostle that you be an imitator of Him Ephesians 5:1. He revealed Himself as the God that exhibits loving kindness upon the earth Jeremiah 9:23 and His love was what compelled Him to give. That same love has been share abroad in your Romans 5:5, so start giving out by the Spirit of love in you. The sweetest part is that when you give, good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over shall men give to you.
PRAYER POINT
My Father, my Father, cause your giving nature in me to begin to find expression in Jesus name...
