*TRY CARING FOR A SERVANT OF GOD*

🔑 *KEY VERSE:* 

"A gift is a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth" (Prov. 17:8).

*TODAY'S TEXT* 

2 Kings 4:8-17

*MESSAGE*

In May 2021, the local media celebrated an unnamed old woman in Makurdi, Benue state, who got a shock blessing by showing simple care for a servant of God. Armed robbers had visited her parish priest and taken away some of his things; this old woman heard this and brought six eggs to the man of God to her sympathy and care.

Later, the affected minister, Reverend Father Solomon Mfa of Saint

Augustine Parish, Makurdi, went to her abode to thank her for the kind gesture. He was surprised to see the type of unkept and shabby place the old woman lived in. So, a few days later, he crowd-funded and built her a beautiful mansion which she moved into.

Truly a gift given with a pure heart never fails. It carries even more

power when it is given to a servant of God in obedience to God's

instruction. Jesus says, "He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward" (Mt. 10:41-42).

In the above scripture, Jesus gives us a powerful but often

neglected weapon for combating lack and closed doors in life. That

the weapon is giving. He guarantees us that giving is truly a boomerang! Anne Frank says that "No one has ever become poor by giving." The truth is that we rise by lifting others. As Kathy Calvin has said, "Giving is not just about donating. It is about making a difference. Never forget this: whatever you are not willing to let go of in your life, God will never allow it to take permanent residence in your life." Give and it shall be given unto you!

 

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS* 

 It is not much about how we give but how much love we put into giving.

🙏🏿 *PRAYER* 

Abba Father, give me the heart to give as a way of life. Help me to become a habitual giver in the name of Yeshua. Amen

*BIBLE STUDY IN ONE YEAR* 

Luke 4:1-6:26
