"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times; having all that you need, you will abound in every good work".
2 Corinthians 9:8

God repeats His Old Testament promise to bountifully bless the cheerful giver (Malachi 3:8-10). Our father got all that we need and He wants to give it all to us in abundance when we give cheerfully and when we remain faithful in tithing. For some unclear reason believers do not like to give but enjoy receiving from the Lord. Scripture tell us clearly that our tithes open the flood gate of heaven.
We all want to be blessed beyond measure, but not all are generous with our giving. People say they don't know what to give or how much to give. Well, start being faithful with your tithes and then give according to your heart. God established the principle of Seed and Harvest”; it didn't say how generous your giving should be but it says "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. If I were you I would start giving generously if you want to receive abundantly. The word of God is the will of God that is why it is important to spend time in the word. There's life and blessing in every word of God. "The word I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" John 6:63. The will of God is in His Word, the Bible.

People tell me all the time that they are not getting enough from God and I always reply that the choice is yours. If you are not satisfied with what you are reaping, check on the seed you are sowing. Remember to sow lots of good seed cheerfully and don't forget your tithes and your harvest WILL HAVE TO COME. Seed and Harvest has been God's way of doing things since creation, I can't stress this enough. "While the earth remains, Seed and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." Genesis 8:22

Friend, our heavenly Father is a great God. He is a more than enough God. It is His will that you should have all that you want, good health, prosperity, peace, love and joy. Come to Him, live according to His will as revealed in His word, the Bible, and start reaping the advantages of living in His will. Take your rightful place as His loving child. Let Him be your father.

Be encouraged, and be blessed in Jesus name.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 111

Praise the Lord.

I will extol the Lord with all my heart

in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

2Great are the works of the Lord;

they are pondered by all who delight in them.

3 Glorious and majestic are his deeds,

and his righteousness endures forever.

4He has caused his wonders to be remembered;

the Lord is gracious and compassionate.

5He provides food for those who fear him;

he remembers his covenant forever.

6He has shown his people the power of his works,

giving them the lands of other nations.

7The works of his hands are faithful and just;

all his precepts are trustworthy.

8 They are established for ever and ever,

enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.

9He provided redemption for his people;

he ordained his covenant forever—

holy and awesome is his name.

10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

all who follow his precepts have good understanding.

To him belongs eternal praise.

Keys to Answered Prayers......

"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?  If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Matthew 7: 7-11

Everything Jesus told us would happen actually come true: from His death to His resurrection, and to His glorious ascension to heaven. Jesus spoke exactly what His Father told him to say and we know it was always the truth.  As a matter of fact, Jesus is the truth (John 14:6).  While living among us, He said what He meant and meant what He said. If it wasn’t okay to go to God with our needs then Jesus wouldn’t have told us to do so. The bigger question is: What should we pray about? Most people go to God with the big issues. Some people do not pray until a negative prognosis or when they are drowning in difficulties. The truth is that God cares about every area of our lives. He wants to e part of everything we do. He wants to know about that broken toe nail as well as the tumor. He loves to hear from you. Nothing is too big or too small. You are not a burden. He loves you that much. Y can tell me anything. He wants to know about your needs because he wants to meet them. He wants you well. He wants you happy. Listen, Jesus said in John 15:7 “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” It is really that simple.

Friends, the reason why some people don’t ask is because they don’t believe that God has the ability to give or the needs are too great. Truthfully, nothing is greater than God. He has the power and the will to meet all of your needs. All He requires is for you to trust him. Once you stop holding on to everything and release them all to God capable hand and trust that He will do what He promised, only then will He works in your favor. Asks is the primary step in getting your needs met and trust is the condition to experience the power of God in all its fullness, and treat other well is what seals it all together. God wants us to treat others well. To treat others well if you want your prayers answered is the one part most people seem to miss. Listen, when it comes to His children, God loves us all. It is important to Him that we treat each other with love and respect because we were all made in His image and Jesus died for all of the children of God. In God’ eye all the children are equal, from the beggar at the corner of the street to the kings and the rulers of this world.  Listen, talk to God about everything. Trust Him and treat each other well and experience the fruits of answered prayers.

Father how grateful I am for the clarity of your word today! Thank you for being a Father I can come to with all my concerns.  Thank you for loving me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Praise the Lord!
