  • Bible Verse of The Day – 3-26-26

    John 6:8-9 (NKJV) 8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, 9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”

    Jesus wanting to feed 5000 people with just five loaves and two fish seemed impossible to the disciples.

    But He was about to perform a miracle right before all their eyes.

    When Jesus was finished, they not only had enough for all of them to eat, but more than what they needed.

    God will use what we give to Him and multiply it back to us, even with some to spare if we will have faith and obey Him.

    Give up your seed today even if it is all you have. Give out of your poverty.

    Mark 12:44 (NKJV) 44 for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.”

    The poor widow in this verse gave her whole livelihood. She held nothing back. She trusted God wholeheartedly.

    He knows everything we have. It came to us by His hand. Ask Him what it is that will be a sacrificial gift as we sow it into His kingdom.

    Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

    Give when He prompts you, and you will see Him move.

    Praise be to our Lord, God almighty.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 3-10-26

    Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

    Give and it will be given. Not might, not maybe. But it will be given back to us.

    I love that it is written in red, a promise from Jesus to us. If we do what God says, that is, and give!

    Why is it so important that we give, because that is our seed of obedience that God can work with.

    What we give will determine what will come back to us. It says here, for the same measure that we use will be measured back to us. It’s up to us.

    Now, does it mean how much financially? How much of our time, how much prayer, how much of our labor, or how much love we give, etc.?

    All this matters to God. He sees our heart. What is most important is obeying God in our giving.

    When we give something that God is asking for, and it is of great value to us, it does not go unnoticed with Him!

    Four years ago, God called us to NC. We left all we knew; family, activities, friendships, our home; it’s all still there. But we are not.

    He called us elsewhere. We are now living and growing in the state of NC.

    We obeyed. And though we sacrificed much, today our hearts are full; God’s peace is with us. that is what matters most!

    What is it today He is asking you to give?

    Yes, it may be very personal to you, and of great sentimental or emotional value. But don’t hold back. Give and it will be measured back to you, pressed down, shaken together and running over!

    Amen.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 4-8-25

    Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

    In what ways can we give?

    We can give kindness, love, and compassion to others.

    We can give a helping hand.

    We can give material items.

    We can give of our finances.

    These are a few very common things that we all have available to us.

    It’s our decision whether we follow through as the Holy Spirit leads us in our giving. Sometimes common sense will tell us what is needed at that moment, but other times He will prompt us.

    We don’t always have time to think about what we need to give, we just need to be ready and open. Sometimes we can miss out on a very important moment to give if we spend time thinking, considering, pondering, etc.

    What are we giving today? It will be measured back to us.

    Amen.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 9-21-24

    Proverbs 3:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

    God’s faithfulness is beyond words!

    As we honor Him first with all that we have, we will not have to worry about what we need. Those things we always worry about will be taken care of.

    Why do so many fret?

    Two reasons; they are not honoring Him with their firstfruits, or they are not trusting Him due to their lack of knowledge about this scripture and others that promise He will supply our needs.

    It can be very hard to take this verse seriously if we have not previously committed to giving to Him of our firstfruits.

    It’s a big step, and it takes faith and discipline to keep walking in it. We can’t just do it for a short time and then give up if things get hard.

    It must be viewed as a commitment that we make; it is a one-on-One covenant with Him.

    Many years ago, we got a Holy Spirit-breathed revelation about this Biblical truth.

    Before that, we never knew the importance and the power of it. And we were always struggling to make ends meet.

    The day we finally got it, we fully understood it and we repented for not doing it sooner. We made a covenant with God, and we never looked back. We never stopped, no matter how bad things would look at times.

    It was eye-opening for us to witness the things God would do to help us, even when we were the ones that got ourselves in a mess.

    He was there to help us get past it. He did not point fingers. He simply helped us make better choices and learn from the wrong ones we had made.

    He is faithful, my friends, like none other.

    He will help you through the most difficult times and see you through to the end as long as you continue to do your part.

    Honor Him first with your firstfruits, and do it wholeheartedly. You will never regret it!

    Amen.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 12-30-23

    Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

    Give and it will be given to us pressed down, shaken together and running over!  Amen.

    Many people today are facing financial struggles. They work so hard to just make ends meet.

    Some may only have enough for their bills and to put food on their table.

    If we were to check on our neighbors that we think are doing so much better than us, we would probably find that they are going through similar things in one way or another.

    We are not alone on this journey. Others are so much worse off. If we only knew.

    It’s everywhere. Prices are high, and our money doesn’t go as far as it used to.

    We are paying double what we used to pay for things, and working harder and longer hours than ever before.

    Trusting God in such times is a test for us all.

    But God doesn’t tell us to obey His scripture only when times are good and everything is plentiful.

    Where would having faith be in doing that?

    It is in times like these we need to press in and continue to do the right thing in trusting Him.

    1 Corinthians 1:9 (NKJV) 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Tithing is the first place people will pull back from if things are getting tight or the pressure is on financially.

    We know it’s hard to remain steady when we feel the pinch. It’s how our flesh reacts to such things.

    However, tithing is the very practice we need to protect and keep pushing through. It is through our tithes and offerings, and giving out of our need, that will pull us through such hard seasons in our lives.

    We can attest to this in our own lives many, many times.

    We can’t let fear stop us from trusting God.

    Keep sowing where God tells you to. Keep being faithful and obeying His Word.

    He will come through and it will be measured back to us according to how we have given!

    We who need a job, we who need a home, we who are struggling in our finances, or even in our family; we need a breakthrough and deliverance in some areas of our life.

    He will come through, no matter how things look. Keep giving to Him in whatever way He leads you to. Don’t pull back because of what we see.

    We walk by faith, not by sight. Stand on those promises in His Word! Amen.

    2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 4-20-21

    1 Timothy 6:10 (NKJV) 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

    Money, in and of itself, is not evil. But rather, the love of having it is.

    When we get to a point where our money, and the desire for more of it, runs us, then we are in trouble.

    How does our money control us?

    When we don’t give, and when we hold back from God, keeping what is not ours, then we are likely being controlled by our money.

    There is an amount of our money that God asks us to give back to Him.

    Malachi 3:8 (NJKV) 8 “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings.

    That amount is 10 percent of our pay, or anything that comes into our hands. He gets that first and foremost.

    Then He asks us to give offerings from time to time.

    This is something that is typically spur of the moment. It just happens.

    We will be somewhere doing something, and we will hear Him; “Give to this situation, or give to that person. Pay for their groceries, or help them with their mortgage. Pay for their meal tonight. Buy them some clothes. Give them gas money”.

    These are a few of the things that we have heard at times.

    God requires us all to be givers. He wants us to be ready to open up our pocket and give at any time that He leads us to do so.

    Don’t love money more than we love God. Doing so will make us miserable and we will often lose most of what we have.

    Be obedient with our money, and see what God will do for us. He loves a cheerful giver.

    2 Corinthians 9:7 (NJKV) 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 8-27-20

    Exodus 25:2 (NKJV) 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering.

    It’s important that we give an offering to God. Just as important is how we give it. And He does take note

    He is looking for a willing heart, not a heart that says, “well, I need Him to do this for me, so I’ll give to Him an offering and we will see what happens from there”.

    Even if God does nothing for us in return, our heart needs to be right as we do the right thing.

    I remember many years ago there was this little boy who was around 10 yrs. of age. One day, as he saw his single Mom put her offering in an envelope, he said, “Mom, how much money is in there?”.

    She told him and he said, “WOW…that’s a lot of money to give to the church.”

    Isn’t it funny how satan can even use a child at times to dissuade us from doing the right thing?

    At that moment, he planted a seed in his Mom’s heart; a seed of doubt regarding her giving. From that day, forward, she began to question it. Her offering got smaller and smaller, until she gave no more.

    And today, she is on a different path. Her heart has grown hard.

    If we let our mind speak to our heart about our offering to God, we will most likely pull back on our giving, and our willingness to give will be tainted. It is also very possible that our heart and walk may change too.

    When our mind starts to question our heart’s willingness to give, we will talk ourselves out of what we are to give every time.

    Give with a willing heart what is rightfully God’s, and then some. God sees our willingness and we will reap from it. It won’t go unnoticed.

    Are we struggling with giving to God today? Did someone or a situation arise and plant a seed of doubt in our heart?

    Resist it and do what is right. Give willingly to God what is His, and watch our every need be met and more so.

    God is faithful, and He watches for our willingness and obedience as to how we handle what He has blessed us with.

    2 Corinthians 9:7 (NKJV) 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 5-12-20

    Ephesians 4:28 (NKJV) 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

    One of the things that this ministry is based on is prayerfully giving to those in need. We say prayerfully because we have learned over the years that “God giving” is better than “people giving just because”.

    For example, if God lays something on our heart to do for someone, even if we don’t understand why and we just do it, it is so much more powerful than us trying to figure out what to give to someone on our own. When we do this, we are truly His hands and feet.

    There are some that have never experienced such God-given gifts. Boy, is it fulfilling, but not just for the receiver. I think the giver is even more ecstatic if they have the opportunity to see and feel the emotions from the receiver.

    Sometimes, though, gifts are given in secret, so we never get to see or experience this. But this doesn’t remove or negate the excitement of giving!

    We need to be prayerful about our giving. And to be clear, we are not talking about tithes. Our tithe is not meant to be negotiable and/or questionable. It is what it is and we need to automatically give to God the 10 percent He has asked us for.

    We are talking about giving above and beyond our tithe.

    God will sometimes lay on our hearts to give something to someone and it is a great time to sow a very important seed.

    Be prayerful about our giving. Make every little bit of it count. God is faithful to do His part.

    Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 2-28-20

    Proverbs 11:25 (NKJV) 25 The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.

    Have you ever heard the saying, “what goes around, comes around”?

    It’s true, and it’s a Biblical principle!

    Some people may not like to give credit to God for this simple truth. They may attach other names to it, like karma, etc. Regardless, though, it is something that God put into motion in the very beginning.

    This is a very simple principle; you get what you give. And this truth can apply to every aspect of our lives.

    If we give kindness, we will reap kindness. If we give joy, we will reap joy. If we give of our finances, we will reap financially. If we give mercy, we will be shown mercy. And the list could go on infinitely.

    The most important thing we need to remember is that this is not a tool that we use for personal gain. We don’t give just to get. Our heart and our motive needs to be right.

    But be sure that God’s word is true. He never lies. So, if we expect to be blessed in any way at all, we also need to be giving in that very same way.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 1-22-20

    2 Corinthians 9:6 (NKJV) 6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

    God loves when we give.

    Not only does He love when we give, but He loves when we give bountifully and with a right attitude (cheerfully), not grudgingly or with a bad attitude.

    This takes on new meaning when we begin to look at the Greek text and the various translations that are available.

    The word to look at here is “bountifully”.

    The Greek word used in the original texts is the same Greek word where the English word “eulogy” is derived from. When we think of a eulogy, we tend to relate that to a funeral. But in reality, it means “blessing”.

    When a eulogy is spoken at a funeral, it is a blessing to those who hear it, as well as a verbal blessing over the person who has passed.

    So, in reality, what Paul was saying is that if we sow (give) bountifully (to bless others), we will also reap (get) bountifully (a blessing returned to us).

    It’s important to remember that we don’t give to get. We give because we want others to be blessed. We give because God has told us to do so.

    But God established this principle thousands of years ago; if we give, we get. It’s very simple in its most basic form.

    It’s when man tries to twist it or pervert it that it begins to get complicated and out of line with what God intended.

    What God is telling us overall is that what we receive will be proportionate with what we give, and the attitude with which we give it.

    Let’s give bountifully, as Jesus Himself told us to do!

    Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-19

    Luke 21:4 (NKJV) 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.”

    The widow in this verse had touched Jesus’ heart because she gave out of her poverty. Despite being in poverty, she honored God and she gave.

    There are some today that don’t even give out of their wealth, let alone out of their poverty. Giving doesn’t enter their minds. They think their money is theirs, and they want it all.

    A man that I looked up to at one time said to me, “tithing is only for the old testament days.” It sickened me to hear such a thing. This kind of talk will keep people in bondage.

    If tithing is only for the Old Testament, why was Jesus so impacted by what He saw? Why would He notice such detail and effort on the part of this widowed woman?

    Because He saw a willingness in her to obey, honor God, and do what was right. No matter what it cost, she was going to give. And yes, from her impoverished state, she gave her offering.

    Obedience always moves God. It catches His attention and it causes Him to do the impossible on our behalf.

    What are we waiting for today? Do we want to move Him? We can start with giving. Giving from our present situation.

    Don’t wait until we have an abundance. And if we do have an abundance, make it count. Make it mean something. May we feel the sacrifice of it.

    This widowed woman was in great need herself, but out of her poverty she gave to God first.

    Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

    Amen.
