Open Heaven for Today 23 October 2020: [Friday] – Giving That Pleases God I

GIVING THAT PLEASES GOD I – Friday October 23rd 2020

Memorise: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it teneth to poverty. Proverb 11:24

Read: Luke 21:1-4 (KJV)

And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

Bible in one year: John 9:1-10:21, Hymn: Sing hymn 2

Message:-

God doesn’t assess the quality of your gift by its actual value, but by the value you have left after the donation. In Luke 21:1-4, the rich dropped fat offerings in the basket, but none of them pleased God as much as the giver of the least – a poor widow. Jesus said she had “cast in all the living that she had.” You have not given your ‘widow’s mite’ until you have given all your living to God.

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into you your bossom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

Luke 6:38

 

If you want a spectacular breakthrough, give a spectacular offering. God is interested in what you give Him; if He weren’t, He wouldn’t have been looking into the basket as people were giving in Luke 21. He is observing; if He finds your offering to be of good measure, a ground-breaking blessing will surely come your way.

Some people say they don’t give because they don’t have. Actually, they don’t have because they don’t give. If a poor widow could have had something to give, then everyone can. People remain poor because they hold back more than is necessary instead of sowing it (Proverbs 11:24). The Bible says He gives bread to the eater and seed to the sower. If you eat your seed when you should be a sower, how would you have bread when it is time to be an eater? Give your way out of poverty.

Open Heaven 23 October 2020 Friday: Key Point


As God blesses you, increase your giving so that He can also increase His blessings. I once met a man who, rather than pay 10% of his income as tithe, paid 90%! He once challenged all of us at a conference to give our  best offerings and that he would match it. He did! He constantly give like poor widow and God also continued to bless him in return.

 

You want a spectacular breakthrough? Give a spectacular offering.

Key Point

God measures your offering, not by its value but by the value of what you have left after giving.
