Topic: FGive And Receive More
Bible Reading: Luke 6:35-38 (KJV)
35But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38Give, 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.
KEY VERSE: “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.” Luke 6:38
Message
Tim, a ten year old boy asked his father what Jesus meant in Luke 6:38. In answer to his question, his father invited him to play a game of “Giving and Receiving” with him. So he took Tim to the dining table, placing a bowl of fried rice on the table, he told Tim to, with his small “teaspoon”, serve twenty spoonsful of fried rice into his father’s dinner plate. While, using his own bigger tablespoon, his father served twenty spoonsful of fried rice into Tim’s plate in return. At the end of the game, Tim had more fried rice on his dinner plate than his father’s. Whatever you give, said his father, will come back to you in multiple folds.
What Jesus taught in Luke 6:35-38 is that whatever anyone gives to God or fellow human beings will surely return to him or her in multiple folds. If you love to judge, criticize or refuse to help or show kindness to others, you will receive the same in multiple folds. But if you love, care for, help and pray for others, you will receive the same in multiple folds.
Greater than that, there is nothing that you have that was not given to you by God. Therefore, He expects you to give back to Him in appreciation of all that He has done, is still doing and will still do in your life. When you willingly, joyfully, faithfully and bountifully give anything to God, beginning with your heart, then your time, tithe, talents and thanksgiving, He will give you multiple folds of His blessings in return.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Oh Lord, I give my life, time, talent and all to you. Use everything for Your glory, in Jesus’ name.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
