If You Want to Receive, Learn to Give (1)

Woman Giving Heart On Man's Hand

“…Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you…” —Luke 6:38 (NIV)

Most times, people look at this scripture and think that it only speaks about giving money. Yes, of course, the scripture speaks in relation to the financial and material things we give, which are the measures that God uses to reward us materially and financially. But there are still some hidden things that we can give to others that most people have not considered. You can give your neighbor a smile, a hug, or a warm welcome, or you could also give your neighbor a bad look, a cold look, a hostile greeting. And the list goes on. 

As the Bible clearly states, when we give, whatever we give is given back to us. This ultimately means that if we give our neighbors a cold welcome or reception, it will be returned to us too, either by that person or by someone else, and if we decide to lend a helping hand to someone, our help is also not far away. So in attitude or in deeds, whatever we give will be returned to us in full measure and to an overflowing measure. So, the question for you today is What do you want to receive? You must learn to be deliberate about this, because what you give out is what you will receive. Hallelujah!

Today’s Rhema 

What you give out is what you receive!

Confession for the Day 

Thank you, Father, for this eye-opening message. I declare therefore that the grace to give is at work in me and as I do this freely, I am receiving freely according to your word in the name of Jesus. Amen!
