Isaiah 14-16, 2 Corinthians 9. Psalm 136: 13-26
2 Corinthians 9: 10-11 (ESV)
“He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will
supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your
righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way,
which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.”
In verses 10 and 11 from 2 Corinthians 9, Paul reminds the
church at Corinth that Father-God is our great supplier. Whatever we have is from
Father-God. He supplies both our physical and spiritual needs. We need to trust
that our generosity is a demonstration of our trust in Father-God’s provision.
Father-God will multiply what we give. Paul also prays that when we give, we
will be enriched both materially and spiritually because Father-God is the
supplier of everything. Paul tells us that all of our actions have consequences,
but Father-God particularly pays attention to our generosity. When we so sow in
faith, Father-God will increase the harvest of our righteousness. Father-God
sees our giving as an act of worship because our giving impacts not just us,
but the church and the greater body of Christ. Our generosity can create a
cycle of blessing, where giving leads to gratitude and gratitude leads to us glorifying
Father-God.
Reading these verses enabled me to realize that my
generosity comes from Father-God. When Father-God blesses my finances, he is
the one who is enabling my generosity. I can only be generous when Father-God
blesses me.
If you enjoyed reading my thoughts on these Bible verses,
and through your faith in Jesus Christ you want to have the blessings of
generosity Father-God, please pray this prayer out loud:
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of
all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus
from the dead. I confess with my mouth Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now,
I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I am
clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit filled, full
Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached
and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
