TOPIC: Love – A Key To Fruitful Giving
SCRIPTURE: And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:3.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your giving holds no value without love. Your giving attracts no profit without love.
Seeds of Destiny Today 21 April 2024 SOD MESSAGE
Our anchor Scripture reveals that a major consequence of lovelessness is the ineffectiveness of the giving covenant.
The Scriptures make it clear that every sower must reap. A sower cannot be a beggar. Giving normally provokes receiving (Genesis 8:22; 2 Corinthians 9:6-7; Luke 6:38; and Acts 20:35).
However, it is very important to note that giving would not provoke corresponding harvest where there is no love.
1 Corinthians 13:3 says:
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
This implies that if you empty your bank account for the sake of God and His Kingdom, and give all the money you have to the point of even giving your body to be burned, but you have no love, it profits you nothing.
Your giving holds no value without love. Your giving attracts no profit without love.
This is a serious matter!
You may be a tither, a giver, or a covenant practitioner; but if you have a problem with your spouse that no one can resolve, it profits you nothing. You are only wasting your time and resources.
You may be a foundation member of a church to the point that even when the church was built, you gave half of the money for the project, if you keep malice with someone, you have no profit from your giving.
There are people who make the practice of malice just the way people practice law. Many people enjoy “malice practice” the way lawyers practice law. They can be called “Malice Practitioners” just as we have legal practitioners. These people enjoy a lifestyle of keeping malice. They live by it; they enjoy it. Please refuse to be one of them because that is a fruitless and wasteful lifestyle.
REMEMBER THIS: Your giving holds no value without love. Your giving attracts no profit without love.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Make love a major priority of your life.
- Let your sacrifices and giving be powered and propelled by love.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You deliver me from loveless sacrifice and giving. Plant Your love in my heart and let it be the basis of my giving, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
