KEEP GIVIING

Text : Luke 6:38  

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again_ .

Some things only answer  to principles, and 'giving' is one of such things.  Receiving only answers to the principle of sowing and reaping, giving and receiving. The principle goes to say that the measure to which you give is the measure to which you receive.

One beautiful thing about this principle is that you will always receive much more than you give. That's why you should be careful what you give because you will receive it back in *GOOD MEASURE, (be it good or evil)* 

The word of God says 'Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.' Gal 6:7. You cannot outsmart this principle, if you sow wind,  you will reap whirlwind, Hosea 8:7.

If you desired to reap a good partner, then sow(cultivate) goodness into yourself. If you desired mercy,  sow mercy. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy". Matthew 7:7. If you want peace, sow the seed of peace. 

Now, this principle transcends this present world, because what you sow here, you can reap in eternity. 

For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.Gal 6:8. 

In other words,  every thing you do in this life can be captioned as seed sown to the flesh or seed sown to the Spirit. And the harvest will be eternal condemnation or eternal life respectively. 

 *KEEP GIVING, KEEP SOWING.*  In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.Ecc 11:6 KJV.

 *KEEP GIVING. Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.Gal 6:9.* 

Bible reading: Genesis 26:12-35.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
