Grace for Giving

The beautiful exchange.. John 3:16
Giving has been a huge topic in the church and outside the church for a while now. We have been told giving is important to the kingdom of God and you will be blessed. On the other, we have those outside church who say “why do you give so much to the church, Oh look at these rich pastors taking from the poor and enriching themselves”. This goes on back and forth but I think we need to change the conversation to what value is added to our lives when we give.
In this series, we said money or material gifts rank low in what we can give to God. We tend to focus more on what we are giving that we miss what we are receiving in return. The receiving is the value that is added to you.
We have to understand that giving is a practical exchange and an act of worship. Let’s put it this way when we give there is a principle that is activated. Principles that work in our favour. That principle is sowing and reaping. When we give our time, money, love,resources, respect, trust to people there will be an exchange in return. What is the best gift we can give to God than ourselves.  
When we give ourselves to God that is the highest gift we can give simply because He gave himself to us first  through Jesus Christ. The value that Jesus Christ added and keeps adding to our lives is priceless and no gift will measure nor surpass it. The best way is to give our lives to God in return. This is the beautiful exchange and greatest gift of all.

MAY I NOT RUN OFF - Gbile Akanni

“A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to  his  father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth  to me . And he divided unto them  his  living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.” (Luk 15:11-13 KJV) LORD, fire me up and set me on fire”… Let not grace diminish in my life. Let me not become obsolete, ever before the work is done completely.

THE OMINIPOTENT GOD - By Pastor E.A Adeboye

He is unlimited in power He is the omnipotent God. Psalm 62:11 says, God has spoken once, twice have I heard this that power belongs to God. Next time somebody tells you that you cannot make progress, that you will not be promoted, that you will not have a child, that you will die sick, that you will die poor, turn to the person and say, “Power belongs to my God.” Jeremiah 32:27 says, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” The word omnipotent is a combination of two words; Omni and potent. Omni means, ‘All’ while potent means ‘Power.’ Omnipotent is the One who has all power. One of the basic differences between man and God is limitation. Man is limited, but our God is not limited. Man is limited by strength. In Isaiah 40: 30, the Bible says, even the young men shall faint. Strong as they are, they can faint, they can fall. Man is limited by death. James 4: 13-14 says, the life of a man is like a vapour. You can wake up and say, “Tom...
