Joyce Meyer Devotional 5th January 2025 – Generosity Increases Joy

Joyce Meyer Devotional 5th January 2025, Sunday Message

TOPIC: Generosity Increases Joy

…For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap. – Galatians 6:7 (AMPC)

TODAY’S MESSAGE
Most of us get excited about the thought of increase in our lives, but we would do well to remember that God’s Word says that we reap only according to what we have sown. If we want to receive more, we need to give more. Giving is the source of true joy. Nothing makes us happier than being a blessing to someone else.

I believe God wants me to challenge you to make a decision to give more this year than ever before. Give to His kingdom work, give to the poor and needy, and give to those who are less fortunate than you are. Even if you can only increase your giving a small amount, I urge you to do so in faith and expect greater increase in your own life. It is impossible to outgive God! He is the very essence of generosity, and He delights in the prosperity (the well-being) of His children (Psalm 35:27). When we give more, we reap more, and then we can continue being a blessing each time we see a need.

I am challenging you to join me in taking every opportunity you can find to be a greater blessing everywhere you go.

PRAYER OF THE DAY: Father, thank You for giving Jesus to us. Let Your Spirit of generosity dwell in me and grant me the grace to give more and more. Thank You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
