Give

But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
1 John 3:17 (NKJV)

Many are blessed and endowed beyond measure. Sometimes to the point of going blank with regards to what to do with the blessings, gifts, and talents. God displayed His love by giving the world His only begotten son as an example for us to follow. To shut off our heart from the need of others that we know we have the ability to make a difference is to deny and constrain the Spirit of God in us. Give of your endowment, blessings, talents, abilities, skills, and provisions to lift your world up. There is greater blessings in giving than just receiving.

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.
Luke 6:38 (NKJV)

Be encouraged,

Afolabi
