Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! The Bible in
Psalm 13:6 says, "I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me." The title of my message is: "Giving activates Divine Provisions" I just want to start by mentioning that; generous divine provision is the benefit of those in the sheepfold of the Great Shepherd. God prepares a table of abundance for His sheep (Psalm 23:5). As born again Christians we have been given power to become sons of God and heirs of the Kingdom of God. ( Galatians 4:7, John 1:12) This is why David in Psalm 13:6 says:"I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.”
This scripture is a personal testimony of David, after God had blessed him beyond measure, and he began to testify of God’s goodness through songs. If you carefully study the life of David, you will discover that the secret of his prosperity, lay in the principles he lived by. One of such principles is demonstrated in the scripture reading: he believed giving to be the key to receiving. Can you imagine a man giving a loaf of bread to every citizen of a country? This was what David did, and he even gave much more! We often wonder why most of us are not flowing in God’s abundance, even though God has resources to cater for more than we could ever need. One likely reason for this is that we do not strictly follow divine financial principles. Jesus, in Luke 6:38, says,“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.”
Let us draw a few lessons from this. Firstly, if you ever want to receive, it is your duty to first give. If you fail to sow, you would be deceiving yourself to expect a harvest.(2 Corinthians 9:6-10) Many of us refuse to give, and yet we continue to pray, fast and do all other things right. If you want to receive, first give. It is important to note that God will never owe anyone. If you give, you will receive a harvest, no matter how long it takes, as long as the seed is not uprooted. God is not a man to lie, if he promises anything in His word He fulfills it. ( Numbers 23:19-20, 2 Corinthians 1:20) That is the character of our God. He does not change. (Malachi 3:6,9,10,11)1
However, the way the harvest comes and when it will come, are issues that may not be too clear to you. For instance, you may be expecting your harvest for a particular seed in form of physical cash, not knowing that God has already given it to you as a harvest of peace in the time of trouble, or as protection when the enemy came calling.( Psalm 50:14-15) Sometimes, you cannot tell how the harvest of a given seed will come, although if you connect into the Holy Spirit, He can sometimes reveal to you that a particular harvest you received was from a particular seed you sowed. Moreover, God who knows our needs should be given the freedom to determine when and how our harvest should come. (Philippians 4:19, Matthew 6:6,18). Just make sure that a lifestyle of giving and sowing seeds is an indelible part of you. Do you give to His servants? Do you give to the needy? How often do you give? I am sure you have answers to all the above questions, since giving is a personal decision you make. ( 1 Corinthians 9:10-15)
Giving is an act. Giving is also a spirit. Pray that God will give you the spirit of giving. You open doors of abundant blessings by giving to the Lord, the poor and those in need. Lastly, the Bible says, " Those who sow in tears, Shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him." Psalm 126:5-6) It may feel painful and hard to give and sow in the House of the Lord, but when you reap the benefits of giving, you will celebrate in joy and happiness.
