Title: Antidote To Poverty
Memorize: 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)
Bible Reading (Nkjv): Proverbs 11: 24
[24] There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.
Message:
Every young fellow dreams of becoming wealthy in life so that he/she can buy everything that money can buy and enjoy life to the fullest.
O Unfortunately. many people don’t attain their desired greatness.
Unless a fellow is born with a silver Spoon or God smiles on him/her, he/she may struggle to become wealthy in life.
Interestingly, there are some antidotes to poverty, and at the top of the list is giving.
Even though you can pray against poverty, giving remains the greatest ticket out of poverty.
The Bible says in Proverbs 11:25: “The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.”
This means that those who give liberally and joyfully have no choice but to flourish. No matter how small you are, never think that you have nothing to give.
I usually tell my children that if they can’t give someone #100, they will not be able to give by the time they start making big money.
Reflection:
Are you paying your tithes and offerings?
HYMN 17 – THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS
1. “There shall be showers of blessing”
This is the promise of love;
There shall be season refreshing
Send from a savior above
Chorus:
Showers of blessing
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy drops round us are falling
But for the showers we plead.
2. “There shall be showers of blessing”
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys;
Sound of abundance of rain.
3. “There shall be showers of blessing”
Send them upon us Oh Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come now and honor Thy Word.
4. “There shall be showers of blessing”
Oh, that today thy might fall,
Now as to God we are Confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
5. “There shall be showers of blessing”
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be season refreshing,
If we let God have his way.
