Give to those in need

Give to those in need.

“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”
Galatians 6:10

I will like to share with you what I found out from a study I did concerning giving to the poor from the Bible; I found out that caring for those in need especially for those who are Christians secures your life from ever been in need.

Proverbs 28:27(GNB) says, “Give to the poor and you will never be in need. If you close your eyes to the poor, many people will curse you.” This clearly shows us that giving to the needy among us and also the poor of this world is one sure way for us to maintain our wealthy place. You can also break out of poverty by learning to give to those in need. As long as you think you are the poor and want to be stingy, you will never come out of lack. You break out of lack by your giving. Proverbs 28:27(CEV) says, “Giving to the poor will keep you from poverty, …” The Apostle Paul quoted the words of Jesus in Acts 20:35(BBE) saying, “…There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.”

The Macedonian Church broke out of poverty and lack by giving to the needs of others. 2 Corinthians 8:1-4(CEV) says, “My friends, we want you to know that the churches in Macedonia have shown others how kind God is. Although they were going through hard times and were very poor, they were glad to give generously. They gave as much as they could afford and even more, simply because they wanted to. They even asked and begged us to let them have the joy of giving their money for God's people.” If the description of the Macedonian Church describes your present circumstances, I encourage you to give your way out of poverty.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank you for blessing me to be a blessing, until all the families of the earth have been blessed, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
2 Corinthians 9:10-12, Deuteronomy 15:5-8,
Hebrews 6:10.

Doing the Word
Remember the poor especially those who are Christians.
