About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"GOD DOES LOVE A CHEERFUL GIVER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
GOD DOES LOVE A CHEERFUL GIVER
HAVE YOU EVER REALLY STUDIED AND THOUGHT ABOUT THE VERSE PHILIPPIANS 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. THIS IS A GREAT PROMISE BUT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY. PAUL WAS TALKING TO HIS PHILIPPIAN PARTNERS WHEN HE SAID THIS AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE. I DO BELIEVE GOD WANTS TO SUPPLY THE NEEDS OF ALL HIS CHILDREN BUT IT WANT WORK WITHOUT US GIVING. NOT ALL OF HIS CHILDREN GIVE THE WAY THE PHILIPPIANS DID. I THINK THAT WHEN WE FAITHFULLY GIVE AS THEY DID, THEN GOD WILL KEEP THIS PROMISE TO ALL OF US.
I THINK THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SCRIPTURES TO BACK THIS UP. LUKE 6:38 IS ABOUT THE BEST EXPLANATION OF THIS THAT I HAVE FOUND. IT READS "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." WE DO HAVE TO BE A GIVER. I AM NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT OUR TITHES BUT OUR GIFTS TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS OUR HELP. IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE TO BE MONEY BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT WHEN IT SAYS "with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again" IT DOES MEANS MONEY IF THAT IS WHAT YOU GIVE. I BELIEVE 2ND CORINTHIANS 6:38 GIVES US A GOOD REASON TO WANT TO GIVE WHEN IT SAYS "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."
TWO THINGS I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH. IF SOMEONE GIVES YOU HELP, TAKE IT. DON'T THINK OF IT AS CHARITY BECAUSE THE VERSE ABOVE SAYS THAT "men give into your bosom". GOD TOUCHES MEN'S HEARTS TO GIVE AND IF THEY ARE OBEDIENT, DON'T TAKE AWAY THEIR BLESSING. THEY ARE BEING BLESSED AS THEY ARE BLESSING YOU. ALSO, IF GOD HAS TOUCHED YOUR HEART TO HELP SOMEONE, PLEASE BE OBEDIENT. YOU WILL BE BLESSED. JUST BE A CHEERFUL GIVER.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
