“…Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed downshaken 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)
Sometimes people wonder why unfortunate things always happen to them or why, most times, when they are in need, they hardly get people to help them out of their need. I think the answer here is very simple. No one will help you if you don’t give help to others, so you may need to start learning to help people around you so that when your time of need comes, you won’t lack help. If you are a known troublemaker or a record breaker when it comes to causing public nuisance, it would be very difficult not to always find yourself in difficult situations because this is what you have sown in the past, and reaping the fruits of what you have sown becomes inevitable.
We always reap what we sow, whether big or small, wickedness or goodness; what we give away is always what we will get. Now, since we know that we will receive a reward for the things we give away, it would be better for us to always weigh what we give away. It’s important that, as Christians, we are very careful about the kinds of things we invest our time in because we know that whatever we give away will come back. If you live by cheating others, then as time goes on, you will be cheated too. If you live by lying to people, you will face a lot of deceit in life. If you live by sleeping with other people’s spouses, it would be hard for your spouse not to do the same to you. So stay away from wickedness and embrace goodness, so you can reap all your fruits in goodness. “…for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap…” Galatians 6:7b (nkjv)
Today’s Rhema
When we give, what we give is given back to us.
CONFESSIONS FOR THE DAY
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the new revelation that has come to my spirit and for directing me in the direction you want me to go. I declare that from today onwards, I embrace goodness and give to others around me good things in deeds and in gifts, and I declare that I receive in good measure the seeds I sow in these areas in Jesus name. Amen!
