Wise Giving

Hi guys, happy new week. Lemme quickly say the post about moral decadence and our positions as Christians birth a prayer in my heart which God has answered, Leadway Insurance took this guys in boxers and dressed them in agbadas, with new placards. Prayer works! What a splendid way God turned it around. I was caught up in something, so I couldn’t really post yesterday. Here goes sha, before that, guys please I need your take on the blog, should it still be a go? Or should it be scrapped? Please do send your feedback, it will be appreciated:

2 Corinthians 9:7-8 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose] just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver [and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift]. 8 And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity.

A lotta us are so fond of quoting the verse 8 of that chapter and totally ignoring the verse above it. It says when giving it must be thoughtful and with a purpose (not selfish sha), it should involve your heart. Your whole heart should be in the gift, it shouldn’t seem like you’ve been forced or that you see it as a duty. I guess that’s why evangelism is a bit difficult for some of us, it is a service that should be as a result of our love for God and the lost sheep and not just ‘the great commission’.

It’s because God loves a cheerful giver that He makes His grace available in abundance to them, because He knows as much as He gives them, they are more than willing to give to others. So He ignores how gigantic the need is, He disdains the timeline just so you can have not just ordinary sufficiency but complete sufficiency and have a lot in store for every other good thought you have towards others.

The grace is sufficient to the cheerful givers, its exclusive grace.
Give wisely

Hey guys, good day. Hope your day was splendid? “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people, and your God, my God.” ‭‭RUTH‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭AMP‬‬ So I know I wrote in Ruth a few days ago but my attention was drawn to Naomi. I mean there must have been some qualities in Naomi that made Ruth determined to follow her. Imagine how endearing Naomi had made her God seem to Ruth for Ruth to have wanted to serve Him. I have to commend Naomi on spreading the gospel so much that her daughter in law was willing and ready to forsake her childhood gods and her way of life just to be with an old woman. I've wondered what was it about that old woman, as in understand that both Ruth and Orpah were unwilling to leave Naomi. She had nothing to offer but I'm quite sure she had invested a lot into them. Now the question is what are we investing into people, how endear

Hypocritical Hypocrites!

  Buenos días amigos ha pasado mucho tiempo , anyways sha it's great to be back. James 1:22-23 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror. I know how a lot of us go about in Word Conferences and be shouting "Hmm Rhema!" upandan, biko don't get annoyed but all the Rhema you've been getting what have you used it for exactly? Abi you are now a keeper that all you do is catch Rhema, without retaining possession of the Rhema you've received. The truth is that if we've put into practice all the Rhema we've received then we would have become better Christians. I know someone is thinking that 'not all Rhema is for me', but wait, if the Rhema was not for you, why were you shouting Rhema in our ears depriving some of us from even hearing what the Rhema was. I remember joining a group about sharing the

Commitment 4?

Committed 4? Okay so the holidays are over and tomorrow we resume our serious lives. May the death of Christ put to death all our nasty habits and may the resurrection of Christ birth new and good ones in our lives. Ruth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son. Madam Ruth is my case study today, I just love this babe oh. To think of the tragedy that befell her, because when we speak of Ruth we only do justice to Naomi's devastation and we are quick to forget that Ruth also had a tragedy on her hands. She lost a husband to whom she bore no child for. Yet she just decided that she loved her mother in law so much and she'll happily serve her mother in law. She had no husband expectations but she resisted leaving like her sister in law and stayed with Naomi. She was like if na to chop indomie or if na to soak garri then let's go.  She was also endeared to Naomi's God an
