GRACE TO GIVE

In 2Chronicles 1: 6-15, we have a documented story about how King Solomon benefited from the Spirit of Wisdom.

You may be tempted to think that the secret on why he was endowed was because he asked for wisdom. But have you ever asked yourself why God visited him on that crucial night?

Maybe his offering you may want to say next?

It was recorded that Solomon gave a thousand (1,000) burnt offerings.

But the next logical question is who gave this young boy the wisdom to do such a thing like this at a time no one else has ever done such before?

The truth of the matter is that it was God Himself that gave Him the wisdom to GIVE and also inspired him to seek for WISDOM to enable him rule God’s people.

God later went on to give him an open cheque to ask for anything.

Friends, the “Grace to Give” comes from God!

John 3: 27 says: “John answered and said, A man can receive nothing except it be given him from above.”

Some people are natural misers by nature and so comfortable when they do not have to give.

There are some other people by virtue of their professional training find it difficult to part with money.

On the other hand, there are yet another set of people that are naturally generous – they are always uncomfortable when not given the opportunity to give.

… All these are Grace from God.

God inspired Solomon to give what nobody else had ever given so that He could use that as an excuse to give him what nobody else had ever received.

The truth of the matter is, God was behind all that happened in the life of Solomon.

May God have Mercy and give us the Grace too.

Are you tight fisted and find it difficult to give to your fellow men and the work of God?

The truth of the matter is that as long as you fail to give towards God’s work, you will not be able to receive what is due to you.

… It is the same measure that you give that will ne melted back to you!

The truth of the matter is that: “every daily effort you fail to make use of gradually erodes your position in life”.

…The choice is therefore yours…”So PAY THE PRICE!”
