OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN GIVING: FOR GOD’S LOVED-WORLD – IS A GIVING WORLD!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”<\/i>\u00a0John 3:16.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

God’s LOVED-WORLD is an awesome world of LOVE – therefore,\u00a0don’t\u00a0be SELFISH about it. To many the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish, covetous,\u00a0hoarding\u00a0and greedy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Luke 6:38.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The LOVED-WORLD of God\u00a0is made to be liveable, likeable,\u00a0loveable\u00a0and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, the plants GIVES out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. In same scenario are the humans and all living creation. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and to keep life in check. This cycle keeps life going\u00a0every day.\u00a0It’s\u00a0a GIVING\u00a0world;\u00a0hence\u00a0it’s\u00a0LOVED-WORLD and\u00a0it’s\u00a0LIKEABLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, INDESCRIBABLE and ENJOYABLE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is the one who [generously] scatters\u00a0[abroad] and\u00a0yet\u00a0INCREASES\u00a0all the more; And there is the one who WITHHOLDS what is justly due, but it results only in want and poverty. [25] The GENEROUS man [is a source of blessing and] shall be prosperous and enriched,\u00a0And\u00a0he who waters will himself be watered [reaping the generosity he has sown]. [2 Cor 9:6-10] [26] The people curse him who holds back grain [when the public needs it], But a BLESSING [from God and man] is upon the HEAD of him who SELLS it”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 11:24-26\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

God so\u00a0LOVE;\u00a0He GAVE. Genuine LOVE GIVES. Where God’s LOVE is, GIVING goes along. Giving could be in the form of once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (strength), TALENT, VISITATIONS, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL\u00a0CARE\u00a0and such like and more to the needy one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For\u00a0it’s\u00a0MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers NEVER goes down no matter what, this I know so well; and\u00a0that’s\u00a0the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world. I saw it in my parents as a child, and now, do live experiencing it daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, \u2018IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 20:35.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, Do a self-check and be a GIVER today: For God’s LOVED world is a GIVING world – and our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall – THERE’S NO ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS, HOARDING AND WITHHOLDING in order to enjoy the unspeakable gift of God’s given joy that’s in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”<\/i>\u00a0John 3:16.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, \u2018IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 20:35.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is that SCATTERETH, and yet INCREASETH; and there is that WITHHOLDETH more than is meet, but it\u00a0tendeth\u00a0to POVERTY. 25 The LIBERAL soul shall be MADE fat: and he that WATERETH shall be WATERED also himself. 26 He that WITHHOLDETH corn, the people shall CURSE him: but BLESSING shall be upon the HEAD of him that SELLETH it”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 11:24-26.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For God is not UNJUST so as to FORGET your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in MINISTERING to [the needs of] the saints (God\u2019s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to SHOW the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] sluggish, but [will instead be] IMITATORS of those who through faith [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by patient endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises”\u00a0<\/i>Hebrews 6:10-12 (Amplified).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
